Skipping Grades Or Repeating Infant Prodigies Not So Numerous as In Past Years California's infant prodigies who progress through school at a great rate—"skipping grades" right and left, are not nearly as numerous as their fellow students who must repeat grades before they are mastered. Orange county shows a percentage of 8 among the elementary pupils registered in its schools who were forced to repeat their grades, while only 2 per cent were able to skip. The figures are the result of a survey recently completed by the state Department of Education in a study of accelerated and retarded students in California schools. Totals for the state show that while 2.4 per cent of the state registration is able to skip grades, 8 per cent is repeating some part of the work each year. "The figures are only compiled by the department to show the advancement or retarding of students in the first eight grades," said Walter B. Morgan, chief of the division of research and statistics in the department. "Apparently the Johnnies and Mary Ann's who are capable of going through school at a rapid pace are far less in numbers than those who must repeat grades. The percentage remains practically constant each time we conduct the research." "The brilliant girls have a slight edge on the gifted boys, our records show. The girls numbered 2.5 per cent of the total registration for their sex, with the boys lagging slightly with 2.3 per cent of their registration. "The boys are more liable to be retarded than the girls too, for 9.3 per cent must repeat grades, while only 6.8 per cent of the girls have to try a grade again." Ability to "jump" grades, or repeating them, was the sole basis of the figures produced by Morgan. The individual brilliance of students was not taken into consideration, although Morgan believes that much valuable information might be uncovered by an artist began, as history shows, where barbarism left off. The barbarians who inhabited this very region before the white man entered upon it, lived in a more or less blissful non-capitalist state. Ownership of property was tribal. The demands of the tribe were paramount; the opportunities of the individual except for glory as a hunter or warrior, none. And it was the desire for private ownership of homes, lands, comforts, property, that was responsible for malang this continent the happy home of millions instead of a hunting ground for savages living amid squalor, ignorance and suffering. Romantic pictures have been painted of the life of the aborigines, but a keneled dog was better oft than these savages exposed to bitter cold, hunger and disease without the means of warding them off. The small and declining number of Indians on this continent when the white man came indicates that they would have been practically exterminated by tribal warfare and disease within two centuries after the first English settlement at Jamestown. Nomadic life, without land or other property tenure, was characteristic of the era of barbarianism, and human progress, with an increase of comfort for the masses of men, did not begin until there was introduced that incentive to individual effort which came with the establishment of the right of the individual to keep and use the accumulations of his own effort. That this incentive has been abused, grossly abused, is true, but that its results have been on the whole more and more helpful to society in general as mankind has advanced, is equally true. When the first permanent English settlement was made on this continent, at Jamestown in 1607, an attempt was made to pattern after the Indian system of common ownership. The settlers were even divided into "tribes." Lands and stores were held in common. The result was that most of the colonists perished from under-nourishment. It was as the result of this disastrous experiment that the lands of the colonists were divided, and the dictum went forth that "he that will not work shall not eat." Thenceforth an immediate improvement was noted.

Reports from the four packing-houses in the valley give the approximate shipments during the year as more than 1100 cars, increases, in some instances, of 100 per car over the previous year. New markets are also announced, both domestic and foreign. But while the output sets a new record, the oranges have been unusually small in size, and prices per box also much lower as compared with past years. Records of the San Fernando Orange Heights Company, located car Mission San Fernando, show that 517 cars were shipped this year, as against 260 during 1928, according to Homer Killen, manager of the firm. Net returns to the growers, Mr. Killen says, should average $3.50 to $4 per box. This is less than was received the previous season, when the valley crop brought net returns of $5.75 to $6 per box, he points out, but adds that the total earnings should equal or better the 1928 returns. L. C. Forrest of the Canoga Citrus Association, Owensmouth, reports that 170 carloads were shipped this year, as compared with 100 a year ago. The shipments, he says, have been distributed throughout the United States, about fifty cars going to San Francisco and Oakland. Europe also received Canoga oranges to the extent of 26,000 boxes. At the San Fernando Fruit Growers' packing house, located in San Fernando, Manager F. A. Pomeroy states that 360 carloads, an increase of more than 100 cars over the 1928 crop, were packed. His company has shipped to Singapore, Liverpool, Australia, and, of course, to many eastern points. The Meyer W. Chess Company, independent packers at Pacolina, records mixed shipments of oranges and lemons totaling around 150 carloads. They output went to Pacific Coast, eastern and Canadian markets. Labor during the past year has beer very scarce and wages accordingly high.

The primary election will occur August 26 and the general election November 4. With one exception, all the present state officials are expected to seek re-election. The exception is State Controller Ray L. Riley, who has announced himself as candidate for governor. Governor C. C. Young is also expected to seek re-election, although his official announcement will not be made until early in 1930. Unless several other outstanding candidates appear, the race will probably be between Young and Riley. For Riley's job as State Controller, only two candidates have definitely announced themselves. These are George G. Radcliff, former chairman of the state board of control, and T. A. Kolley, deputy state real estate commissioner. Candidates for state offices who will seek re-election are: Secretary of State—Frank C. Jordan. State Treasurer—Charles G. Johnson. Superintendent of Public Instruction—Vierling Kersey. Attorney General—U. S. Webb. Board of Equization—John G. Colbert, San Francisco; Fred E. Stewart, Oakland; Richard E. Collins, Reading, and H. G. Cattenh., Passaicna. Supreme Court—Justice John W. Reston and Justice John W. Shenk. (These terms expire in December, 1930.) The office of surveyor-general, formally elected by the people, was abolished by the 1929 legislature, and now stands as a division of the state department of finance. The hottest political campaign, of Christian Science Church The error of mismeric and hypnotist practices, both ancient and modern, will be emphasized in the Lesson-Sermon Sunday in all branches of The Mother Church, The First Church or Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. A citation from the Old Testament presents Ezekiel's words: "Thus saith the Lord God; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit and have seen nothing! They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The Lord saith; and the Lord hath not sent them; and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word. Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The Lord saith it; albeit I have not spoken?—and ye shall know that I am the Lord God." A correlative passage from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy is as follows: "Christian Science goes to the bottom of mental action, and reveals the theory which indicates the rightness of all divine action, as the emanation of divine Mind, and the consequent wrongness of the opposite so-called action—evil, occultism, necromancy, mesmerism, anomal magnetism, hypnotism." If it is true that the crash in the stock market was caused by European selling, a lot of our internationalists are going to think it was exactly the right thing to do. States two or three hundred experiments in which people have grouped ished." The most notable of these experiments was at New Harmony, Ind., under the leadership of Robert Owen, "the father of English socialism," who dissipated a great fortune in trying to make the scheme work. Only one of these colonies survives, and this because of its religious rather than its economic basis. In all of these communities it has been discovered that men will not abandon that ingrained ego which encourages introspection. Superintendent of Public Instruction — Vierling Kersey Attorney General—U. S. Webb. Board of Equization—John G. Colbett, San Francisco; Fred E. Stewart, Oakland; Richard E. Collins, Reading, and H. G. Cattell, Pasoacuna. Supreme Court—Justice John W. creston and Justice John W. Shenk (their terms expire in December, 1930). The office of surveyor-general, formary elected by the people, was abolished by the 1824 legislature, and now stands as a division of the state department of finance. The hottest political campaign, of course, will precede the August primary, at which the Republican nominees for governor will be chosen. In November, however, the general election ballot will be the largest in California's history. In addition to state and county candidates, it will also bear a list of 20 proposed constitutional amendments and several measures initiated by circulation of petitions. Repeal of the Wright Act, California's "Little Volcanic law," is sought in petitions circulated in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and may appear on the ballot. A similar measure failed at the state election in 1926 by vote of 565,875 against repeal and 502,258 for it. In inauguration of a daylight saving law in California, permanent registration of voters and resurrection of hybrane mining are other initiative measures under way. Two state bond issues will appear on the November ballot, one for $20,-000,000 to compute the state's farm and home loan program for veterans, and one other, $10,000,000 for improvements on San Francisco harbor. Complete Survey On Unemployment Fewer Persons Looking for Work Than a Year Ago Job-hunters, who usually begin to get more numerous as winter approaches, are fewer today in Anaheim than they were at the same time in 1928. The state department of industrial relations has completed a survey which shows employment conditions are 4.4 per cent better now than a year ago, with the total weekly pay roll 7.3 per cent larger. "Present indications are that unemployment is definitely on the decrease," said Dr. Louis Bloch, department statistician. In our opinion the recent stock crash had no reflection in the productive interests of the state. Among increases in employment the automobile industry led the field with 13.8 per cent more workers now than last year. Structural and ornamental steel workers increased 21.6 per cent, while ship and boat building, including naval repairs, was 25.7 per cent more active. Printing establishments employed 4.5 per cent more than in 1928. States two or three hundred experiments in which people have grouped ished." The most notable of these experiments was at New Harmony, ind., under the leadership of Robert Owen, "the father of English socialism," who dissipated a great fortune in trying to make the scheme work. Only one of these colonies survives, and this because of its religious rather than its economic basis. In all of these communities it has been discovered that men will not abandon that ingrained ego which prevents exertion in behalf of an abstract idea rather than individual and family well-being. One of the last experiments was that recently abandoned by a former socialist candidate for Vice President in New Mexico with the public confession that he had entirely misjudged human nature. The statement of C. J. Miller Kenyon is like that of many other literate and economic pundits—it is a good example of thoughtless thinking. Among increases in employment the automobile industry led the field with 23.8 per cent more workers now than last year. Structural and ornamental steel workers increased 21.6 per cent, while ship and boat building, including naval repairs, was 25.4 per cent more active. Building establishments employed 4.5 per cent more than in 1928. Decisions were noted in employment figures for agricultural implements, which dropped 16 per cent, saw mills decreasing 14 per cent, and rubber products 19 per cent. Concerning the optimism of the industrial relations department, Joseph H. Manning of the California Free Employment Bureau said that the general outlook is very fair. "Approximately 12,000 men applied for work last month," he said. "Of these, 984 were placed, an increase of 6 per cent over October, 1928." "We have a standing order for cotton pickers in the southern part of the state. Nearly 100 were sent there last month. "Coming at the same time as the stock market drop we noticed a considerable lessening of the call for domestic help among women." Major Annie Eastwood, state commander of the Salvation Army, is more pessimistic. She declared that more difficulty is being encountered in placing the unemployed this year than last. A lessened demand for carpenters, laborers and workers in the mechanical trades is stressed by Major Eastwood.
