THE NORMAL SCHOOLS.

Marion county has sent in ten years
2b9 students 10 the Monmouth Normal
training school. n the total expense
bad been 10000 a year for Normal
schools, our county's share would have
cost just $500 teacher. II it cost $500
teacher TO give them Normal course
would II not be a good investment
Hugo Munsterberg in an article in
the Atlantic Monthly shows that II Is
simply shocking the way we waste
money and good raw material through
miserably incompetent teaching in our
public schools. Our investment ought
to yield hundred per cent better re-.
turns than II does.
We are spending annually in Oregon
million Of public taxes TO pay teachers
in our public schools, and the value Of
that investment depends wholly on the
quality Of the teachers. Does Oregon
need 10 cut of few small appropria.
tiona for normal schools. IL is hardly
the thing we should cut off.
AhS bAt Ahllk hbhb ion pSth h"i ~
upon by the Republican candidates In
the Marion county canvass has been TO
cut off the normal school appropriations.
IL was represented that not dollar
could be spent under the constitution TO
educate teachers, any more than lawyers
or doctors. Later IL was modified and
the Republicans said too much was
spent, that Oregon had too many normal
schools.
The state grange and farmers alliance
consider favorably the appropriation Of
money iol Normal schools. They are
the only means Of getting little nigh
or education for the sons and daughters
Of the poorer and middle class who do
not want to attend church schools or
an university. Those appropriations
should not be icut off. They might be
reduced. We might have less schools.
But men who are opposed 10 appropri'
aiions for Normal schools as a matter
Of principle ought not 10 expect 10 re-
ceive any support from friends Of the
public schools, because they are either
misiniormed or they are enemies Of pub
lie education.

Proverbs of the Car Cleaner.

Proverbs of the Car Cleaner.
A workman in the T. & P. car sheds
wants TO know how the Proverbs OF
Solonon would have read had Solo
mon been a coach cleaner. Something
like this possibly:
VINO can say, l have my car olean'
from all dirt?
Seest thou q car cleaner diligent In
his business? He shall stand before
the paymaster on pay day.
Thou shalt beat cushions with roo
and shalt free them from dust.
Who bath grimy perspiration: VINO
hath sueezine? Who hath dirt to eat!
Who hath redness of eyes?
They that dustesh long at the car
Window: they that poundeth haro on
plush cushions.
Look not with open mouth on cloud
of dust when it riseth; when il hlleth
the coach: when IL moveth itself a.
right.
and flleth the eyes like an Ell Paso
dust storm.
Thine eyes shall have strange feel
ings and thy tongue shall utter cusS
words.
The duet hath chicken me, shs!s thou
say. and am suffOcated: hav- beaten
the seat but see it not. When the
cloud passeth away l shall seek 1t YET

An Ancient Peril.
The greatest peril of railroad service
Is thing of the past. The feature OF
railrosdinR that has cost more lives
than any other, disappeared with the
| last day of the limit of allowance OF the
old style oouplers on freight CARS
In 1893 congress passed law requir-
ing the placing of automatic coupiers
on all freight cars. The original act
required the change from the old style
to the new to take place within i've
years. This was found to be impossi-
BILE and the time was extended to Jan.
little early aud the final limit was set
for August l, 1900.
That time has now passed and any
company found TO be guilty of allow
ing the old style couplers to remain on
q car in use will be prosecuted. Ii ia
understood that the interstate CONNER
CO commission, which had . hand la the
making of the law, has appointed .
number of inspectors to visit various
sections of the country and see that
this law is being obeyed.
The great army of railway employees
are to be congratulated on the removal
of this great peril of their calling. And
the railway corporations will be quite
as much the gamers by the change.
The saving in time and expenses caused
by deaths and injuries from the old
oouplers will soon pay the cost OF the
change.
