"We feel there is no greater reâ€" sponsibility than that of operating the state‘s educational system," said W. W. Lawton, Cicero, chairman of the commission.‘ "We want each member of the general assembly and every citizen of the state to be famiâ€" liar with the school situation." â€" Urges Wiser Spending The state, he wrote, "spends about $125,000,000 a year on elementary and high schools, and some of this money could be more: wisely spent." ; . "Legal leadership is the chief need of the school ‘system," Lawton: gaid. "This leadership the commission proâ€" poses through the state board of eduâ€" cation. i : f Details of Report "A new plan for distributing the state school fund by giving aid to weaker districts and rewarding trainâ€" ed teachers; recommendations for inâ€" dustrial education and continuation schools; survey of revenue. probâ€" lems including . tax rates, â€"assessed valuations compared with real or market values, multiplicity of taxing bodies and inequalities in the various listricts; plans for budget reform, outlining need for business manageâ€" ment. t > s ."Fortyâ€"qne states have adopted the state board of education plan," Lawâ€" ton said, and quotes a recent issue of a leading educztional journal as sayâ€" ing, "the trend in administration has been definitely toward establishment of state boards of education as agenâ€" cies for direction of state educational Since time immemorial a large colony of white pelicans has nested on Anaho Island, Pyramid Lake, Nev. The colcnr now numbers about 10,â€" 000 adults, which, on account of inâ€" terference by man and destruction by natural enemies and the elements, rear less than a thousand young in a season. The pelicans live almost exâ€" clusively upon fishes, but the kinds they take in any number are small or doarseâ€"fleshed species not valued as food by man. Lake minnows, carp, and lake chubs are the staple foods of the pelicans of Pyramid lake, with red suckers, Sacramento perch, and catfish distant seconds in point of quantity consumed. s use activities." Complaints which resulted in the investigation made by the biological survey of the United States departâ€" ment of agriculture were to the effect that the peli¢tans were serious enemâ€" ies of trout, the most prized fish of the ‘region. These charges were proved unfounded, as only two trout were found in the food of the pelican colony ‘during the entire course of a thréeeâ€"month investigation, and indicaâ€" tions were that instead of being caught alive they had been picked from a number of dead salmon obâ€" served at the time in stagnant pools along the lower Truckee river.‘ The fishes most often caught are the abundant species that swim near the surface of the water; the pelicans rarely dive, and the usually drp‘ly-' ing trout are beyond their reach,. The findings of this investigation are simâ€" ilar to those resulting from studies of pelicans in other regions. The birds seem to subsist almost exclusively upon coarse and common fishes not used as food by man, and instead. of doing the vast damage ther size and fishing expertness suggest, pelicans even in those few places where they do exist in numbers are practically harmless. | PELICAN COLONY ON _ _ _NEVADA ISLAND More Than 10,000 of Them In Famous Lake; Do Not,Eat \ ~Game Fish _ The most valued egg in the world is that of the great auk, a bird onee common in the regions of the North Atlantic, but now extinct.

A noti¢eable example of scientific street Tighting is installed by the Public Service Company as in opera~ tion along Lake street in River Forâ€" est, II1. Iumination is provided from 250â€"candleâ€"power series street lamps, each enclosed in a prismatic glass reâ€" flector and suspended from a 2â€"foot bracket, placed so that the distance from the light center to the street is 18 feet. 4 & The success of this lighting instalâ€" lation is due primarily to the scienâ€" tific method by which the light emitâ€" ted from the incandescent â€"lamp is controlled and directed to the street surface. Prismatic Reflector _ The prismatic glass reflector enâ€" closing the incandescent lamp sists of a series of symmetrical signed prisms which bend the rays light, sending the upward rays usâ€" ually lost in the air down to the street surface and spreading the downward rays in such a manner as to give equal and concentrated lllnmimflorl on the street surface. % Lake street is evenly and uniformâ€" ly . lighted with . these intensities. Measured in those terms, a total of 18,250 candleâ€"power is: developedâ€" enough to light twentyâ€"five ordinary homes. Less than three months ago, the street was illuminated by lamps representing â€" 2,500 candleâ€"power. There were ten lamps. on The advantage of this type of lightâ€" ing is, that the installation cost is much less than for a similar ornaâ€" mental <post»â€"lighting job. . There is practically no glare on the street due to the fact that the lights are susâ€" pended well above the ordinary line of vision. The lights burn from dusk unâ€" til dawn. _ o c Modern System 2 Modern street lighting installations of high ‘illumination intensities are not so rare as they once were,. Nineâ€" teen towns in the territory of the Public Service company have already installed ornamental street lights as recommended and specified by the street ‘lighting : department. Nine other towns now have. plans under way for the installation of ornamenâ€" tal and semiâ€"ornamental street lights in 1925. In all of them there is recogâ€" nition of the netessity of higher inâ€" tensity of light on the streets. The smallest lamp that has been installed in anyâ€" of the systems is 250 ‘candleâ€" power, while 400 candle power have been used in several. ¢ Heavy snowfall in Macedonia has closed all the main roads, and 50,000 refugees in distant camps are snowâ€" ed in, being cut off temporarily from food supplies.
