III AVIATION CAMP
SPOKANE, April 18.—Basil Doane,
Washington state college fullback on
the varsity team for the last four
years, and Tom D. Tyrer, formerly
assistant coach at the state college,
have been called to Berkeley, Cal., to
take an eight weeks’ course in avia
tion at the government training school
there.
Doane played fullback on the state
college team in most of that institu
tion’s big games in the last four years.
PACIFC COAST LEAGUE
WILL HAVE FOUR TEAMS
SEATTLE, April 18—The Pacific
Coast International League, formerly
the Northwest League, will be cut
from six to four clubs, Robert Blewett
of Seattle! president of the league, has
asserted. Blewett made the state
ment, he said, in answer to rumors
that the league will be reduced in
size because it is very probable it
will have no Montana representation
this year.
Last year Butte and Great Falls had
teams in the league. Because of lack
of support and the high cost of the
long railroad jump, Great Falls has
already dropped from the rolls. Blew
ett predicts Butte will be dropped for
the same reason.
Portland, Ore., will replace one of
the Montana clubs, and from present
indications Vancouver, Wash., will re
place the other. Reports received
here from southern Washington said
Vancouver was seriously considering
applying for a berth. As Vancouver
is just across the Columbia river from
Portland, and as grounds are reported
^hard to find in the suburbs, all of
Vancouver’s home games may be
played in Portland, thus giving the
Oregon metropolis continuous base
ball.
The other teams in the league will
be Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane and
Vancouver, B. C. Games will be played
regularly at Camp Lewis, Tacoma.
The league directors meet here soon
to make their final plans and arrange
their schedule.

D. W. WALKER,
LONDON, April 18.—Several Lon
don schools have introduced a new
system of writing known as “manu
script” or “print” writing, which re
places the former vertical or Spen
cerian systems. In the new system
the children imitate the forms of
printed characters, and, it is claimed,
the task of learning to -write legibly
is greatly shortened and simplified by
the leaving out of the unnecessary
connecting upstrokes.
The new system was first introduced
in military establishments by conva
lescent soldiers, originating in the de
sire to find a method of writing which
could be quickly learned by soldiers
who had lost the use of their right
hands. Its advocates claim that the
“print” writing is easy to learn, neat,
legible and speedy, and that it re
moves the great disadvantage pt' two
kinds of letters with which the child
has to contend in learning to read and
to write.
In a pamphlet issued by the Child
Study Society of London, Dr. L. C.
Kimmins, chief inspector of the Lon
don education department, calls the
new system “the writing of the fu
ture.”
