tables will be licensed as follows: wiches that had bwm made by
$25 per year for the first table,
oc .. Auk
- and $10 per year for each addi
tional table. The question
then came up as to the right to
allow pool rooms to be opened on
Sunday and it was found that
. this was governed by. a State
Law that prohibits a pool room
opening up oo ounaav, inua
briny inn: this line of business
directly under the eye of Dis
trict Attorney Wells at Heppner
who can compel every pool hall
to dose on Sunday if he wishes.
The Card Table Ordinance was
then introduced and after cor
rection in test by Councilman
Knappenberg was passed to pro
hibit the playing of cards in pool
and billard balls or stmiliar
places. The vote on this ordi
nance stood as follows. Against
Balsiger, Mason, Baffington and
Haines. For Padberg and Knap
penberg. The first real business
session of the new Council shows
one of the best set of officers that
lone ever had." Every move that
was made was duly considered
and trie uur mwiw i
guarded. In all of our exper
ience we never saw more even
ly balanced set of officials, than
the nresent set of . City officers
: and the lone voters should Uke
special interest and help them to
make this little City one of the
best in the state. You can do
this by helping them in every
way you can. Be present at the

SCHOOL. NOTES
by- ii"
& E. NOTSON, Sunt
A new plan will be used in
the eighth grade examination
in May and June in the sub
jects of U.S. History and Civil
Government The pupils will
be allowed to use their text
books during the examination.
The questions will be so framed
us to test the ability of the pa
pil -io express himself clearly
and tally upon a topic He may
nee some point which he has,
for the moment forgotten. He
oau look it up. " He will not
have time' to do much looking
up, "but he Vill not be thrown
aita a nervous state trying to
remember some trifling matter
which- has eluded him at the
time.' . The writer has advocat
ed such a plan for several
years. He has greatly amused:
teachers and some of the conn
ty .superintendents by suggest
ing snob a plan. Iast summer
be -took a great deal of satis
faction in pointing out to Som
of the Jsunerintehdents thai
uch a plan had been tried at
Reed College, and it had prov-,!
en very aatisfactorVi As State
Superintendent Churchill sayti
"Tha exsniination usually de
teriorates into a memory test.1
Probabljr eighty to ninety pei
cent of the examination ques
tions have oalled for a teat ol
memory , only.. The power to
diseriminatej to reason, to de
cide has rarely been called into
action, in the examination. - It
instead! of answering Weral
o pupu iq rv4iureu w write, in
a. limited timet a . history of
slavery in the United States,

ferent political parties on the
PaQXflT
complete discussion of "the
Monroe Doctrine, his produc
tion will show whether he has
studied history to a purpose,
und he can do very little with
the subject unless he knows
something about it, even if he
lias a dozen text-books at band.
J'his it not alU StteSuper-
intendent Churchill points put
another feature which is of the
greatest importance. He says,
"The eighth" grade examina
tions, to a very large extent,
set the standard for teaching,
and I am confident that this
Lew plan will sterngthen
the
work in the eighth grade and
give the pupil much more pow
er and confidence than he gains
from the memory'tests. If his
class standing has been high
during the year and his Eng
lish work what it should be, he
will pass a good examination.
If his class work has been be
low par, the open book .will be
of no help to him during the
short hoar of the examina
tion." Now, no doubt, many will be
greatly disturbed over this
plan. It will appear to some as
absurd. There is only one way
to determine its merits, and
that is to give it a fair trial. If
it proves its worth, it can be
extended to most of the other
subjects. If it proves1 unsat
isfactory, it can be abandoned.
The plan ws bars been using
has been far from satisfactory,
hence ws should be willing to
make an effort to find some
thing better. -
