Valuable When Practical.

State Superintendent of Pub
lie Institution T. H. Ackerman
was in our city during the week
and made a visit to the schools.
Wednesday, he visited OAC and
made a very pleasing address to
to the student body in chapel.
Supt. Ackerman in the cenrse
of his remarks, laid great stress
on things that were practical. He
was pleased to note the practica-
bility OF the general coruse Of
study at the OAC. In order to
bring close to the student mind
the value of a practical education
he recited the experience of a
former OAC student who, when
he began farming in Southern
Oregon noticed that his alfalfa
field was spotted and, thanks to
his course of study here, he
brought into use his knowledge
of the chemicals of the soil and
was thereby enabled to pur-
sue a course which ultimately in
sured good crop.
The gentleman in question is
in no wise opposed to higher,
or classical education, but said
the time spent in acquiring clas.
sical lore is wasted without the
student is peculiarly situated in
life, and possesses mind partic'
ularly adapted to such a course
Moreover, said student must have
use for this class of learning ane
be capable of using it, or thu
time spent in acquiring it ha
been wasted. To make his posi-
ton plain, Supt. Ackerman re
, cited story of young lady VIII
, was studying latin, which wa
, "Greek" to her because she ha'
no faculty for acquiring it and lit
, tie likelihood of ever using it.
r While here the superintendent
called on the public school an
: was quite pleased and intereste
t in the work being done.

The subject of mountain water
has been agitated more or less
for the past ten years, but it has
been deemed inpracticable. Two
years ago, Portland parties were

abandoned the idea. Engineers
have gone over the ground and
each time their reports must have
proven discouraging, for nothing
has been done nor attempted.
The present water company
has made the city several pro-

the principal being because mum.

the plan outlined in the legis'
