You say Corvallls has un der consideration providing for the planting of shade trees in the resi dence districts. When any Ave prop erty owners on a street desire to have shade trees planted, there shall be a time and place specified by the coun cil for all residents of abutting prop erty to meet and decide as to the kind of trees to be planted. This seems to me very unjust to the ma jority, otherwise the street would De very small indeed. Take Washing ton street for comparison, maybe 100 property owners, five property owners to say the trees shall be planted, and the 95 property owners to select the kind of trees. This Is not majority rule, but minority rule. It would be very nice in hot weather to have shade trees In the residence part. I have more shade trees than all Dallas combined. Here comes my objection tn the planting of shade trees In res idence districts. It would seriously affect the lighting system. The side walks and residences would be dark, Jnst a streak of light down the cen ter of street residences and sidewalks In shadow. Consider the effect on the people In thetr homes on dark winter nights. Which would be the most preferable, a home well lit up, or the light obscured by shade trees? We have as good street light as any city In America: I am of the opinion shade trees would ruin, the lighting effect of the residence district. ABEL UGLOW.

The breaking of the routine of coun try school life, high scholastic aver ages, work accomplished on the farms, a permanent Industrial club of 45 members and the organization ol a brass band of 10 pieces is the rec ord ot Raymond Frost, Clyde Wil liamson, Martin Prattler and Edwin Larsen, four students of the high school of Buena Vista in four years' time under the operation of the home- credit system. When the plans for the system were given the Buena Vista High school, all pupils carried the work and were given credit at school for the distance they had to walk tn school, the time spent In milking cows at home, doing chorea, housework and general farm work. School average, too, were counted. A system of strong competition arose, and after four years of rigid training under the home credits the class of four Is the first in the state to finish under the system. R. l.
