REMOVE BUGABOO OF COUNTY EXAMS While the bugaboo of final examinations in the grammar grades has not been entirely vanquished it is to appear in a new armor less mysterious and fearsome than hitherto. The county board of education has concluded, it was learned that instead of resting graduation from the grammar grades of the county entirely upon a final examination given in June by the county board, graduation will be determined by daily marks and by grades attained in two examinations to be given during the year by teachers. Hitherto the questions for final examinations have been prepared by the county board. Hereafter, the questions for the two tests are to be prepared by the teachers. Members of the county board believe the new method will be fairer to the pupils. For instance, a teacher may emphasize certain lines of study and thought and information in a history course. The pupil is entitled to be examined upon those lines. The questions prepared by a county board might concern lines not emphasized by the teacher. Thus, at times questions submitted by the county board has produced bits of consternation, not only among pupils, but also among teachers. There has also been an uncertainty about the unknown quantity, the final examinations that has produced a strain on nerves. In allowing teachers to prepare the questions for their classes, the county board does not relinquish its control of graduation standards. Each school must submit to the board its lists of questions and the examination papers returned by the pupils. From these the county board can judge whether the scope of the tests has been sufficient to meet the standards sought by the county board. Up to two years ago, the county board also gave final examinations for the sixth and seventh grades. The county board has jurisdiction of all elementary school districts in the county excepting Santa Ana.

GETTING the dollar to do double duty when it is hard enough to persuade it to give one hundred cents worth of work may sound like frenzied finance. But it is the actual accomplishment of American workers of the Near East Relief in the Levant, where living costs are constantly striving for new altitude records. Due to high prices of native products and the difficulties of importing goods into interior stations, these workers have found it cheaper and an effective aid to child training to manufacture their own ing, carpentering, tailoring, dressmaking and a dozen other trades. The same plan is said by these workers to have been followed with considerable success in the administering of general relief. Because it was found that the indiscriminate distributions of money and food tended to make permanent beggars of those that received this form of relief, industrial shops have opened where employment is given to those in need. The products of these shops are either sold or used in caring for the orphans and adult refugees. Though such methods cannot be adopted in relieving such wide- The Village Gossip K. D. Cheney, truck driver, of Los Angeles, has the distinction of providing the most puzzling traffic case that Judge J. B. Cox has been up against in his entire judicial career. As a consequence, Cheney and the governor equipment of a truck he had driven, also held a decision over the "trap" test and a motorcycle officer's stop watch. Judge Cox, hearing the charges against Cheney and the defense of the latter by Attorney Tom White, former veteran police judge, of Los Angeles, and more recently a candidate for the superior bench in that county, frankly admitted that he had never before encountered such a knotty problem. On one side was the stop watch timing of Cheney's speed through a trap, and the evidence of Motorcycle Officer H. S. Warner’s speedometer to show that Cheney had ploleted a truck and trailer past the intersection of the Anaheim boulevard and the Ball road at a speed of twenty-five miles an hour. On the other side, to contradict this usually unquestioned proof, was an automatic governor operating under a seal so that it could not be tampered with, which prevented the truck from making more than seventeen miles an hour. Infallibility of the governor was sworn to by the Los Angeles dealer, under whose supervision the governor was installed and sealed, and who made the trip to Santa Ana to testify at Cheney’s trial. The dealer declared that the seal had never been removed and there was very slight chance of the governor failing to function if understood, unless its parts should break entirely. Cheney himself professed no knowledge of what speed he had been making. He was depending solely on the governor, he said, and supposed that he could not speed, even if he tried. Deputy District Attorney C. N. Mozley, conducting prosecution of the ease, and likewise, Warner, the arresting offender, volunteered the information to the court that in view of Cheney's lack of intent to speed, whether the governor or the stop watch were correct, they felt that the charge against him should be dismissed.

But it is the actual accomplishment of American workers of the Near East Relief in the Levant, where living costs are constantly striving for new altitude records. Due to high prices of native products and the difficulties of importing goods into interior stations, these workers have found it cheaper and an effective aid to child training to manufacture their own supplies in the orphanages scattered throughout the entire region from Syria to the Caucasus, in which the Americans are caring for approximately one hundred and ten thousand children. Not only has this method been found to furnish superior products, according to workers who have been responsible for these activities, but it prepares the children for occupations that will eventually make them self-supporting, such as print-filling.

"However," he continued, seriously," it seems to me under the circumstances that we had better dismiss the case." The court advised the truck dealer to investigate the governor thoroughly to determine its reliability beyond question, as more such cases were likely to develop. Wm.

COMPLETE DATA ON DAIRY COSTS HERE Orange-co, with Los Angeles and Imperial-co's, has been selected by the University of California to compile data concerning dairy costs to be used in a report to the state legislature in 1923. Assistant Farm Advisor Floyd Scott is co-operating with R. L. Adams, in charge of farm management at the state university, in this matter. At the last session of the legislature, funds were appropriated to secure the data and Adams was placed in charge. Twenty-three counties in the state have been selected as representative, and these are being canvassed by Adams who was here yesterday to attend a meeting of the directors of the dairy association. He hopes to secure 12 reports from Orange-co, the last to be turned in before March 1923. Adams was unable to say just how the legislature would use the information. At the dairy meeting yesterday, the question of naming a successor to J. W. Soden as cow tester, was delayed until a canvass shall determine whether enough dairymen are interested. The Cedar Chest is now located at 217 W. Center.
