in reality they had just got to the point
where education began 10 make some
impression on them, and should have
remained in school for four to six years
longer. The argument is that those
who want higher education will get il at
the colleges. But is that true? II not
the attendance at colleges notoriously
small in Oregon and composed largely Of
children that in other states are still in
the public schools2 let NJ face the facts
and act honestly, fearlessly and intelli-
gently for the upbulding Of the Salem
public schools until they are
second 10 none in the state. At
the last graduating exercises in this city,
which are held each year in the middle
Of the winter, for God knows why, there
was not read an original essay, or de-
livered an original oration-the program
was music not taught in the public
schools and elocutionary efforts not
taught there. At graduating exercises
In all other Oiegon cities none but or
iginal essays or orations are delivered.
Beyond few principals, who have
a good knowledge Of literature and abil-
ity 20 judge an original composition, Sa-
lem schools have few higher teachers
who possess the ability 10 make their
pupils good writers or orators. Il this
desirable or oreditable? To be em-
ployed ~ principal a man or woman did
not need this ability They
did need 20 be able 10 come
mand the backing Of the political
push and the result was that push poll
tics was greater factor than literary
ability, or real ability 10 make our
schools creditable. The people have
twice revolted as push politics in their
schools and the present board of educa-
ton ought 10 begin to realize that in the
higher grades Of public school work our
schools are demanding something bet
ter. The primary departments Of our
schools are doing very fair work. An
excellent grade Of teachers, mostly with
established regulations for doing good
primary work have been employed,
aud they have been allowed some
freedom 10 do their best work
In their own way. That is
Just what should be- done in hir-
ing principals. Because man or
hia family have had political pull in
the past II no reason why our schools
should be- kept behind and pulled down
lower and lower in their standing in the
state. The best principals obtainable
for the money Salem can pay should be-
employed regardless Of geography, pol
itics or religion of applicant. Then let
him or her be free 10 do the best work
he or she is capable of for our children.

SPEECH BY MRS. EDDY.
Features Of the Meeting Of the Christian
Scientists az Boston.


BosroS, June 6.-The followers OF
Christian Science yesterday observed
communion day with largely attended
services at the mother church, the First
Church Of Christian Scientists.
The annual message of the pastor
emeritus, Mary Baker Eddy, was read
By John Reeder, and listened to with
great interest. Following are extracts
"We thank the giver Of all good for
the marvellous speed Of the chariot
wheels Of truth and for the steadfast,
calm Conference in the ranks Of Christian
Science.
"On comparison it will be found that
Christian Science possesses more Of
Christ's teachings and example than all
other religions since the first century.
owe should thank God for persecu-
tions and for persecution, IL thereby en-.
sue a purer Protestantism and none
theism for the latter days Of the 18th
century. The forts Of Christian Science,
garrisoned by Gods chosen ones, can
never surrender.
81 reluctantly foresee great danger
threatening our nation; Imperialism,
monopoly and a lax system Of religion.
But the spirit Of humanity, ethics and
Christianity sown broadcast-all con-
comitants of Christian Science-is TAX
ing strong hold Of the public throughout
our beloved country and foreign lands,
and is tending to counteract the trend Of
Madame Byron"

A TEACHERS DUTY
Extends to Food and Drink


I noticed two of my little pupils, bro
Their and sister, when reaching up for
a book or any article that I desired to
hand to them, trembled more or less
from the fingers to the shoulder.
I finally concluded this was not shy
ness, but was really some physical trou-
BILE, and upon inquiring, I discovered
that they were in the habit of drink
ing coffee every morning for breakfast
I warned the children to leave off the
coffee, for I knew 1t was the cause of
their trouble. and would ruin them if
continued in. I always urge children
to use Postum Food Coffee, for know
that to be healthful, strengthening and
a perfectly natural liquid food. A
short time thereafter the little folks
spoken of were entirely well of their
slight palsy.
1t is q distressing state of affairs
where parents permit children to use
ordinary coffee.
Many cases have come to my notice
where the taste of Postum was not
liked, but in all such cases, the dislike
arises from the failure to properly
boil it. 1t is very tasteless liquid
when .underboiled, and very delicious.
strong, rich. satisfying coffee when
boiled long enough to bring out the
flavor and food value. DR.. Helen Coe,
