The Over River School.
. The graduating exercises of the Over

other successful year’s work under H. B.
Wuhan. principal.
The school, this year, has been over-
crowded. but notwithstanding the large
m of pupils in each room. the aver-
sgcattsudance has been high. The re-
qaissssallts of the school. while they
laysssm exacting to the careless pupil
er Want parent, are such as must
cmflnly meet the approval of every pro-
grmive educator. Beginning with the
”Winn. there is a well-defined
plan of work for each room. Pupils are
required to master the work laid out for
hem. and pass creditable examinations,
before being admitted to the next higher
finds. Itis the aim of the school to
papers every boy or girl who enters
Mm into the High school at the
* of thirteen. This means that the

have gained an amount of general infor-
mation. and attained a mental develop-
mt. which, should his schooling end
here, would carry him through the
wold. Special attention is paid through-
out the school to psnmanship, drawing
ad physical culture. Prang’s system of
drawing’js used. The vertical system of
writing was introduced last September
with very good results. Another inno-
vation is now being tried. that of man-
Ial training in its elementary forms.
Tbeclaseieaving the High school this
year has successfully finished the. course
of midy laid out“ for graduation. Its
members have compietoda four years’

honor upon the school. One of the
”has of the class of '95 took his
examination last June for

lion and received a mark of “excel.

While we note with pleasure the work
accomplished during the past year in the
Over River school, yet improvements
an still needed to make it what its

\ The Irrigation Problem.
Eastern people have little idea of the
difficulties that lwmt the question 0‘
supplying water to the 452,000,000
acres of arid lands in the west. The
trouble is with conflicting state laws as
well as with state lines that run exact»
ly contrary to tho direction in which
they would have been run had considcr-
atiou been paid to the natural lay of the
ground Orton M. Hamlin-um, one or-
pom goes so far as to propose, a redisv
trictingof all tiwacmiiu‘id states and
territories on googruphiml lines instead
of political oucs.
Tlicro is a natural irrigation district
between the (Fascudo range and the
Rocky mountains, yct.
Montana, Colorado and Wyoming are
cut in two by the Rocky mountains,
while \‘i'iasliington and Orcgou arc in
like manner cut by the Cascades. Mr.
Doualdson's idea would be to cited the
population west of tlic l'ascudcs by
themwivcs, the basin nccdiug irrigation
east of the Rockies also into a district
to itself, changing
boundaries to suit.

There have how bitter contrasts over
water rights. The laws of the didnrcnt
states and torritorics are at variance.
and there is hols-less confusion. The
only way to get out of it apparently
would be for the United States to take
the whole matter into its own hands,
making uniform irrigation lawn just as
it made uniform land laws.
