Umatilla has a standard four year high school which is on a par with the best. Graduates from here can enter college or university in the state without examination. W. A. Ford, clerk of the district Informs The Herald that in laboratory equip ment the high school is probably ahead of any school of similar size in the state Nearly *3,000 has been spent n equipment.

Mr. Benjamin has been at the University of Oregon summer school and Is expected back in about two weeks. » All the old teachers are coming back-at belter salaries than they had last year.
