The urge for education In thin
country has grown to such propor
tions that educational Institutions are
being taxed to their utmost to house
the millions clamoring for admis
sion. ThlKiyear Nw York City has en
rolled for tho rirst time In Its his
tory more than a million children
In Its public school classes. Chicago
has to its credit more than half n
million. So It goes throughout the
country. This is tho contribution
which our public schools are making
to the nation. It Is the country's
Investment In its future.
The broad diffusion of education
EQUALITY
brlngs into conspicuous view therim audiences has also prot laimed it
force of the dominating idea of the
nation equality of opportunity. Kdu-

trates farm, factory and work shop
Hundreds of thousands are subjected
to Us Influence In night classes, ex
tension classes, part-time classes, cor

radio. It makes education as is
proper, in a nation founded on de
mocracy democratic.
This spread of learning calls for
an equalization in our social status
and education must establish it. Ex
isting social classifications can hardly
survive the present leveling Influ

"What Price Glory'
Coining.
Is today the
"What Price Glory"
'most celebrated play In the world. In-
deod( with onc not(lbie exCeption. 'it is
the most discussed play the world has
ever seen. That exception is also an
American play "Uncle Tom's Cabin."
Both these plays roused the country
for the same reason. The first re
flected a burning national question.
The second gives u a flaming pic
ture of the world war.
"What Price filory" has stirred the
world because the world accepts it ns
the truest picture yet presented of the
war. Yet this panorama is revealed
almost unconsciously by its authors.
Laurence Stalllngs and Maxwell An
derson never expected to make history
with their play. Their modett intent
was to tell the story a comedy. In
truth of a battle between two hard
boiled marines for the favor of a
peasant girt In a nameless village In
France. Hut the background of their
lory is the world's tragedy, and so
snltv with truth is every detail of that
harkKround thai we who have heard
and read and wondered recognize It
instantly for truth. As If by lightning
flafhoH. we see the crushing outlines
of the war machine ns U rumbles

our minds grnsp the whole scheme
and iniquity of war more completely
than we could ever hope to realize It
through endles description of evi
dence, or scientists' blueprints of how
the war mnchine works. . 7
"This play." says Robert Hertch
oy, "will do more than the war did.
It Is something to see. to thrill at find
to remember the next time they try to
start a war nn you."

George Putnam Files Complaint
on Closing of Local Fishways
To the Kditor: j
1 am enclosing some correspon
dence following a complaint 1 filed
with the state game warden over
the fact that on a recent trip to the
Hague river, I found all fishways
closed .and consequently no fresh run
of fish In the upper river. The
subject may be of interest to Rogue
river anglers if not to politicians
who capitalize sportsmanship for po
litical spoils and work the anglers
for a bunch of boobs.

J)earleorge:
I am enclosing a copy of'let
ter just received from our Mr.
Coleman regarding tho situation
txt the Ttay and Savage dams.
Kindly let me know if you think
Ills explanation is satisfactory.
Cordially yours,
K. V. AVKUILU
State Oame Warden.
Coleman Replies.
Mr. K. F. Averlll,
State Game Warden,
Portland, Oregon.
Dear .Mr. Averill:
In answer to your telegram re
garding the ladders at the Itay and
Savage dams, will say I had the
water out of the ladders at the Gold
Kay dam for some eight or ten days
while we were making the necessary
repairs on the ladder on the east
and north side of the river; the lad
(Um on the south and west side of
me river during the low water period
of late summer and early fall never
has had enough water In same to
take fish over. In fact, fish are
unable . to reach this ladder during
the dry season" of the year. Just ns
soon as the ladders were repaired
the water was niiscd in the dam by
the power company sufficient to fur
nish plenty of water for the north
side ladder to let any and all fish
over and has been so maintained
ever since the repair work was fin
ished. At the Savage Rapids dam onco
every year after the irrigation sea
son Is over and the water in 'tho
river is at the lowest period these
people raise the flood gates under
the power house and let the entire
river go under the dam; this lowers
the water at the base of the dam
sufficient for these people to make
an Investigation of the conditions of
the dam, and to make nny necessary
repairs on the flam that urt, neces
sary, etc. While this Is being done,
there is no water in the ladder at
all or at least not enough water t"
take fish over.
This year they had to do quite
a lot of repair work and they have
had the water out of the ladder for
some ten days or more making these
repairs, hut now nre ready to turn
the water back In the ladder, while
this work was going on there were
no fish running up stream. Bo I do
not think that nny hnrm was done.
The people (sportsmen) of south
ern Oregon will have to reconcllo
themselves to the fact that at least
once a ypar the people who are ope
rating nn irrigation project of the
magnitude of this one will hnve to
hnve the right and privilege to take
ndvantngc -of the low water period
to mnke the necessary Investigation
and repairs.
During this time of the year there
are no new runs of any kind of fish
In the river and these people take
advantage of this fact, an well ns of
the low water to do ftilB work. Tjiey
are more than willing at all times
to co-operate .with the commission
and to do everything in their power
to get Hsh over the dam, and they
should T?e commended by the public
and the people of this part of tho
state instead of crlt-lsed for what
they have done.
1 am well nwnre of the fact that
you and thgL rommrwlon understand
these conditions nnd look at the same
in a broadnilnded way, so pleaio

don't let this matter worry you in
any way, as no harm has been or will
be done if these same conditions
have to occur once every year.
I was aware that this work was
being done and that the water was
out of the ladder, and should have
notified you of this fact In order
that you might have been prepared
to meet nny criticism that might
arise regarding the same, so I beg
your pardon for not having notified
you of the above.

Mr. Putnam closed the correspon
dence with the folio wing communi
cation to .Mr. Averill.
Mr. K. R Averill,
State Game Warden,.
Portland, Ore.
Dear Kd:
Yours with Coleman's letter
received. 1 was at Gold Itay
October H and the fish ladders
were both dry'and they said at
the power house that both had
been dry for over a week. No
work was being done on either.
There was no water in the Sav
age Knpids fishway.
It will be news to anyone that
has fished in Koguc river as
many years I have to learn
that there are no runs of fish at
this season of the year. Nearly
every year there has been a large
run of steelhead during the
month of October and at the
same time the advance guard of
silverside salmon reached Gold
Ray section and continued until
December. There was of course
no run this year, although a
large run was reported ln the
Gallce section, but with all fish
ways closed, how could there he?
What would Interest the pub
lie that pays its coin for the
privilege of fishing. Is why the
fishways are not kept In order
the yea r a round , and wh y a
channel Is not blasted to insure
access in times of low water?
Are not game wardens and
screen inspectors paid to look
after the anglers' Interests in
stead of the power companies
' nnd Irrigation districts? And
while discussing this subject,
can you inform me why the fish
screens on irrigation ditches, as
on Uttle lititte intake, are placed
so far below the point of diver
sion ns to Insure tho destruction
of young fish spilled over the
waste gate?
As you are new oh the Job, I
would suggest that you take a
trip over southern Oregon by
yourself and ascertain Just what
good fishways and screens do.
Sincerely Yours,
G. PI'TNAM.
