Plagiarism.

1t is hoped that when a teacher may util
ize this column for, the announcement of
"reminiscences, that too much fiction may
not be INDUCED in, no matter how much
the effect might thereby be embellished.
When your experience is related, whether
it be the acknowledgment of fault or the
proclamation of a success, let not the epic
ture be overdrawn." It is a lamentabe
fact that in the average institute or school
Journal, too many. teachers make the mis-
take of relating their inexperience, rather
than their less gaudy experience, and as a
result, the discussions are valueless, be-
cause based upon theoretical experience in
stead of finding its foundation on actual,
unvarnished truth. The plain truth is the
only thing in which teacher of the young
can afford to deal; and that teacher who
says, "If 7 were called upon to take charge
of school in community in which were
a comparative stranger, l should be in the
district at least week before the beginning
of my school, making the acquaintance of
the parents and cuItlvating the good will of
the pupils, etc. !" should make sure that he
is relating an actual fact and not stating an
ideal which he has never experienced. I
once heard man, in teachers institute,
make use of the above quotation, when to
my positive knowledge of him and his
teaching, it was utterly false; and no mat.
ter how many golden truths he might have
uttered afterward, they would have made
no impression with me because I had lost
were present who were as well aware of
his false statement as I was, and no doubt
they were as :iuch disgusted as myself
Plagiarism, however, is not merely the
purloining of another's words. He who
steals only my words is not 80 great thief
as he who steals my thought. If you
give expression to the thought of another,
without having adopted and assmilated it
for yourself, its potency with those whom
you expect it to benefit, is weakened in the
proportion of your deceit. Not only will
this principle apply to teachers in institutes
and ir school journals, but in the school
room, before the children whose minds are
to develop and unfold under his guidance;
the teacher should make his teaching con
sistent with his life. If he has not high
sense of morality woven into his character,
'twere better for his school if he never spoke
of morals. If your ethical standard is low
you cannot hope to instill into your pupils
high sense of duty one toward another.

INDICATIONS are favorable for an in
creased immigration to the Pacific coast
in the near future, caused by the general
condition of unrest and dissatisfaction
that prevails among the residents of the
middle west There are two sections
particularly inviting to these peop1e-one
is the south and the other is the Pacific
coast. Already the southerners are
holding out extraordinary inducements
for them to locate in that section of the
country. The Atlanta industrial exposi-
ton, which is about to open with the
aid of federal appropriation, is to be
zealously doomed in the interest of i'm
migration. Knowing that the south is to
be our competitor in this matter, the Pa
cifc states should unite in presenting
the advantages of this section. The oc-
casion justiies an extraordinary effort
on the part of Oregonians to attract this
immigration. We have inducements
here not found elsewhere. The people
of the middle west have been suffering
from drouth and they want to get to
country where they have rain and
plenty of it. Oregon is just such a
place and it is our business to acquaint
them with this intelligence. By going
at the matter skillfully and systematic
ally we can attract at least four hum
dred thousand people to our state within
the next few years. This work will not
be done by outsiders. We must be alive
to our own interests. We must adver-
tise judiciously and push our claim with
redoubled energy. Our climate, soil
and natural advantages are unsurpassed,
but the world don't know it. 1t is our
plain duty to en1ighten them.

THE WORK COMPLETED.

The Lincoln-Benson tax matter which
has been agitating the minds of residents f
both counties for the past fifteen months has
at last been settled. The joint segrega.
tion committee, which has been wrestling
with the tax rolls for the past month, COM
pleted their labors Wednesday afternoon
and lind that the new county is indebted to
as in the small sum of $50. % And this
small amount yes, gentle readers, this IN
significant little sum of $50 %, has caused
more talk, has prompted more newspaper
comment, has inspired more hot and angry
words, and caused more i'll feeling, than any
thing that ever happened within the boun-
daries of the two counties. The result of
the segregation committees work Is given IN
the below tabular statement:

the roll furnished to Lincoln
county by Benton county, $67l, 597
