The Expense of Schools.

The state of Oregon expends less per
capita of population for the mainte-
nance of it's public schools than any
state west of the Rocky mountains, or
$3.49 per capita per annum. This ex-
penditure, however, is "a cents greater
than the average per capita expendi-
ture for public schools in the United
States and is more than is expended in
most eastern states. These facts are
brought out in the annual report of the
Commissioner of Education. The total
expenditure for state schools in Oregon
during the year 1923, the last year re-
ported, amounted to 81, ,526, 1866, out of
which $l,C49,lSO was spent In salaries
of teachers and $227 ,O7l for school sites,
building, furniture, etc. During the
year in question they were enrolled in
the common schools of Oregon a total
of 92,29o pupils, or q. l3 per cent oil the
total population of the state. The av-
erage daily attendance was but 64,2l9.
The Oregon schools employed 3,9l4
teachers, at monthly salaries averaging
$51.3 for males and S40.O2 for females.
Oregon is one of the few states whose
schools were not supported, in part at
least, by state taxes. The school fund
was derived mainly from local taxes,
aggregating Sl,87496S, this sum being
augmented by $112,lO5 raised from
other sources. At the close Of the
school year 1923 the total value of
public school property was estimated
at 50, ,S94,0s3

Uncle Sam and the Rifleman.

A most praiseworthy project on foot
is the effort being made by the National
Rifle Association to organize rifle clubs
throughout the country. These organ
izations are 10 be under government
patronage, and are being established
to teach the male population of our
country the proper and efficient use OF
a rife. Time WAS when every Ameri-
can was an expert shot-in fact, this
accomplishment was an actual neces-
sity in the pioneer days.
The ability to handle Il shotgun does
not imply that the shooter is Il rifle
shot. Hence volunteers for the army
must be taught in the rudimentary arts
and the impetuous referred to is the
result
No establishment has been stancher
and more strenuous advocate of essen
tial irearm education than the manu-
facturers of the time-honored Stevens
rifles, Pistols, and shotguns- the } Ste

over 10000 acres, being more than
twice as large as that of the
Worlds Columbian exposition at
Chicago.
Only a few weeks remain in
which to take advantage of this
great opportunity. Every day
from now until the close of the
fair is Especial" day. The WA

The cadets Of the Virginia Mill
tary Institute have just given a strik-
ing example of the chivaIry and 10y
ally to wornen tnat plays a promi-
nent part in historical novels dealing
with that State, but is viewed rather
skeptically by some people. Two
members of the corps were accused
Of insulting young ladies while in
t~Oxicated. a committee Of students
was appointed to investigate the
charges, and found the two cadets
guilty. The commandment was not
consulted. The entire corps drew up
on the parade ground, the two often
ders We're brought out, and IN silence
their stripes and monograms We're
cut from their uniforms and they
were told to depart Immediately.
Such a spirit is not surprising at the
Virginia Polytechnic Institute.
There are no military Institutes in
the country that rank higher.

form a correct judgment of the pur-

The associates and fellow work
ers of the late editor deeply feel the

mourn him as a safe guide, a wise

a faithful friend. While realizing
most deeply that a father in journal
ism has fallen, they feel that the
loss is 0 to them than it can pos

Leader. VIII Develop.

FlttSDurg Post,
 We do not think there will be great difficulty at this time in developing Democratic leaders. They come as the natural order of things. but 1t may be accepted as an established fact that 1t is clear enough that the party is just now without effective leadership. It has lost in the last twenty years more strength of leadership than most parties have ever possessed. The In- dianapolis News goes on with its speculations on the loss of Democratic leaders:
 Prior to the development of the Bryan movement there were such able and efficient men in control of the party es Cleveland, Carlisle, Lindsay. Caffery, Villas, Palmer. Gray, Russell. Bragg, Flower and many others of that sort. Some of these are dead, and others have been for years without influence In the party. Prior to the division in the party we had such great Democrats as Bayard. Lamar, McDonald, Hem others who. if less famous, were hardly less worthy. We mention these names simply for the purpose of showing the seriousness of the Democratic loss"
 We may accept this as truthful statement. even from an opponent, and we may learn from it wisdom as to the future. With the people all right and determined, leadership Is easily de- veloped by the process of evolution. In 1874 Mir. Tilden fitted into this demand for leadership, and almost on the in- stant sprung into great control and ultimately leadership of the party East

 Triumph for the English Tongue. From the Chicago Journal.
 An English-speaking nation has grown up on the West side of the At lantic which has done, and is doing more than the parent country to give the tongue a world vogue. Two-thirds of the people who speak English live in the United States. The industrial and commercial conquests which this country is gaining tell in favor of its peoples tongue. A century ago French, Spanish, and German were far ahead in the number of persons who used them as a vehicle of speech. But in the lapse of time English has passed all of them and is spoken by more peo- pie to-day than is any other civilized tongue.

 Brick making is almost as old as humanity itself. whether they were made before the flood cannot be told historically. but when the descendants of Noah gathered themselves together on the plains of Shinar they said: sLet us make brick and burn them thor oughly," and they proceeded to make them for the building of the tower whose top was to touch the skies. Whether there were prehistoric men. and whether or not they engaged in brick-making we have no certain rec ord. but at least from the days of Babel there is no lack of evidences of this industry. The Israelites during their cruel bondage made bricks of clay and straw for their masters, and in all the old ruins. Egyptian. Assyrian. Greek. Roman or other nation, there are to be found evidences of the good workmanship of the ancient brick makers who toiled thousands of years ago and left behind them mute and imperishable evidences of their labors.
 We have often wondered why 1t is that bricks have never been made of pure sand. In all ancient and modern specimens there is a slightly varying sameness in the composition of these necessary materials for building. In all of them the chief ingredient is some one of the many forms of clay abounding throughout the earth. In most of them some sand is used, the per cent of sand varying with the character of the clay and with the special use to which the bricks are to be put. All this is we'll understood. but why not make them of pure sarodf Of course the brick-maker will tell us that sand cannot be made to stick to- gether without clay and that. conse- duently. brick cannot be made of it. That has always been the reply, but in recent issue of Country Life in America we find this brief paragraph.
 Bricks are now being made of clean sand and ground Squicklime that are said sto be as substantial as granite The mixed ingredients are forced into q strong steel cylinder mould by means of screw. After the air has been sucked from the cylinder, hot water is aomlttdu, tne TOOK nelng Iormeu by the resulting pressure and heat.
 This is all that we have seen, but we take 1t for granted that the writer knew what he was talking about, and that the experiments have been suc- cessfuI. Most of the modern-mada brick are of inferior quality as com pared with those made under the slow and careful hand-work of long ago. and if this sand brick claim is well founded we may get an article khat will be as lasting as were the building materials of the ancients. The cost may to some extent be a hindrance but if they prove a success 1t is likely that they may eventually be manufactured as eheaply as clay bricks are.

Most of our readers know in gen. erai way that numbers of people go from the United States to Mexico, and probably would not be surprised to know that considerable American cap- ital is invested there, but very few of them have any idea of the amount. Ac- cording to a table prepared and pub lished by The Monterey News there is considerably over $500. ,OOO of American money invested on the vari- our enterprises and industries on tha, side the line. Truly Mexico ought to look on Uncle Sam as a desirable old neighbor.
