Diversity can be called one of the stepping stones to success. The football play er may be a wonder at carrying the ball, but if he cannot tackle or play defensively, he is of no value. A business man who knows how to spend money wisely but cannot make it, will never be successful. Various phases of school life or business world are over-emphasized and not enough thought given to diversity. The all around pupil is fairly talented in all branches of school life and, while he may not be as good in one subject as one who is specializing in that sub ject, will probably be more success ful in after life because he possesses diversity. A man may be a wonder along some line of work, but if he cannot put his thoughts in words, his genius goes for naught. Subjects should be emphasized according to their importance, but none should be eliminated- because they are difficult for the particular person concerned. Future success is dependent on di versity so it should be treated ac cordingly. , .

"Burts was all for going to the aid of some lady in distress, but Frenchy told him to lay off the knight errant stuff that he had heard a cougar screech before. The beast came near er and screamed again from a clump of brush a few rods away. Burts took the axe, handed Frenchy a pole, and the two prepared to sell their lives dearly, but the cougar did not attack. "Retreating in good order and with faces to the foe, the two men got out of there pretty pronto. Burts and others went back later after the var mint, but it had vamoosed to parts unknown." , Umatilla County Nurse Gives Interesting Report In her report for the month of November, Helen J.

Miss Samson reports one interest ing , incident encountered in her rounds of the schools of the county. "Only two pupils were in attendance at one school which I reached shortly before 9 a. m." says Miss Samson. "The teacher stated that the other pupils, five in number, were often tardy as they came m an old Ford and frequently had a flat tire. The teacher was anxious that one of the girls absentees be examined as she apparently was below par. There fore I made a home call and found four of the pupils ready to start on the way to school. The paraphernalia for a regular examination was brought in and set up in the home. The mother became quite interested and requested that the two pre-school children also be weighed andmeasured and their throats inspected. This was done to every one's satisfaction and the pupils set out for school."
