WHITMAN COLLEGE.

With substantial backing assured from
the eas, and with liberal help from our
own ci,izens there is no reason Why Whit
man College should not, IN time, become
the greatest edueationai establishment Of
the Pacific Northeast 1t nagreat thing
for Walla Walla to hare an institution "f
such good repute already established here
bu, it will be a much greater and more
desirable thing tor walla wAila to encour-
age and aid it in eularging its sphere of
usefulness and making it what IT IVES
originally designed to become, viz: ole OF
the great national educational institutions
OF the country, conferring luster upon the
nation at large and the to~n In which 1t
Is located. All the great collsees OF ma
,,onal ,-nutation commenced their career
in a. small a way - did the Whitman
Seminary, and they were built up by pri-
yaie and corporate munihcenee to their
present greatness. Whs, has been done
elsewhere Is being repeated hers under
more favorable auspices. The Whitman
College is the only institution Of Its KIND
inthe prea, Northwest. l. gives 10 Walia
Walla the prestige Of being the education
al center-the Athens Of the Northwest.
BY keeping these facts III mind, the cit
izen, OF walls walls will appreciate the
Importance Of Whitman College and the
necessity Of sustaining IT. Before the

Another point to be considered Is that
Whitman College Is a seii-sustAining in
s,i.u,:on and every establishment of that
kind lessons the cost to the tax payer Of
maintaining public schools. Our town
has secured good reputation as an sdu-
catioral center, but We cannot afford TO
stop there The times aro rapidly evc-
Iutiug as the country 6lls up, and wha'
was coed lsst year is behind to-day. 1t is
necessary fer Waila Walla to Taintain
the lead in her educational interests, and
u do that her citizens should go down in
heir pockets and help place the Whitman
College upon sound and permanent,
financial footing.
