(From Saturday's Dally.) In order to keep In closer touch with tho county schools and prevent, it possible, a repetition of tho largo numbor of failures experienced this your in tho olghth grado examina tions, County School Superintendent J. Alton Thompson has prepared n questionnaire and circular letter, which ho has sent to each teacher. Tho former, whon filled out, gives In formation concerning tho operation of the class room, tardiness, attend ance, reading clrclo work, fire drills, examinations, visits by tho parents and similar matters. Due to tho largo amount of emer gency war work, which has been crowded into Mr. Thompson's tlmo, ho has been unablo to mako as many visits as formerly to tho country dis tricts. For this reason tho question naires will greatly simplify his work, as ho will bo able to give advico and adjust difficulties through merely re ferring to tho survey to find out what is wrong. His visits to tho schools will thus b.o mado moro valuable. Tho tcqchqrs have also been re quested to preparo a set of questions, which in their judgment any pupil in tho grado immediately bolow thclr's should bo ablo to answer before en tering th next class. From these Mr. Thompson will mako up a uni form set of questions and givo uni form examinations. Threo of theso tests will bo sont out, the first to dc tormlno on what subjects in tho grades particular stress should bo laid, th6 second later ono to ascertain what ones still need to bo empha sized. Tho last will show whether tho children aro ready to tako their final examination or not. Mr. Thompson will bo able to keep Jn personal contact with every pupil end school room in tho county by means of his new system. Tho meth ods of teaching and courses of study will be put on a standard basis and Mr. Thompson hopes thero will bo no further complaint made when chil dren are transferred from ono school to another. Tho recent eighth grado examination demonstrated tho fact that a vast difference in the methods of preparations exists at present. The questionnaires have begun to como in already and will bo catalogued. They were mailed last week. Deschutes county is expected to rn)8o $3000 for tho Armenian relief fund In tho Immediate future, accord ing to Vornon A. Forbes, who has boon made chairman for this district. Crook county has boon nskud to give $2000 and Jofforson J 1000. Tho work of securing theso funds will bo put under way n soon as a committee can ho appointed. There aro 71 Armenians living In this community and they will prob ably nsstst actively In collecting tho fund. A recent artlclo In tho Literary Di gest gives an excellent description of tho conditions existing In tho stricken country. It says: "A-H-M-K-NM-A spells tragedy, no less In llto than In death. Mora than ono million Armenians ana Syrians In Turkey and western Asia havo per ished during tho past two years from exposure, starvation, disease, heart less deportation, and cruol massacro. Theso aro past their sufferings and aro beyond our help. Thoro are still two and ono-hnlf millions of homeless and destitute people In Armonta and Syria who aro experiencing a living death, who aro enduring tho horrors of hunger, tho tortures of gnawing want, nay, oven tho loss of reason Itself, through sufferings that havo become too terrlblo to bear. "Tho young and tho aged, without food and shelter more than two millions of them this Indeed is a record to wring the heart and to open tho purso-strlngs of Immunity. This Is n tragedy among nations before which oven tho appalling tragedy of llnlglum pales. Iloro Is ujgroat peo ple upon which oven Poland, doop In nor own mlsory, eon look with pity and compassion, as on a nation that Is experiencing an agony of suffering greater oven than hor own. "Other martyr nations havo had their hosts, their legions of friends. Other stricken peoples havo had bountiful, prodigal holp, Hut Ar menia has been virtually cut oft from outside aid. Isolated, left to bleed, to suffer, and to die. A llttlo more anil an entire Christian nation will havo perished front tho earth. Theso two million tlvo hundred thousand Ar menians can bo saved from final star vation only as Amorlea appreciates their awful condition, extends thorn tho helping hand of fellowship and sympathy, and multiplies n thousand fold hor divinely Inspired benefac tions. "It was estimated last year that 130.000.000 would bo needed to keep theso moro than two million homo less, destitute pcoplu from starvation during tho winter now ending, ami this allowed 'but a pittance of seven cents a day for. food, sholtcr, and all life's necessities.' Think of thnt, you who llvo In homes of plenty, and see If you can closo your hearts to this appeal of dying men, women, and children. Think of that and see if you can spend a dollar as lightly and thoughtlessly ns before." i CORSETS 49c59c--69c--79c"S9c"98c and a few at $ 1 .25 This sale includes broken and discontinued lines tif hili quality corsets in all sizes in both front anil back lace.
