nation Of the unusual appropriation
for the Oregon normal schools. Tn,
Portland newspapers are stirring NJ
the people of Oregon to take the ref
erendum on the whole appropriation bill
because of what they term the out
rageous extravaganza of the legisla
ture towards higher education. Pin
them down and they do not include
the state university and agricultural
college. The whole outcry is against
the Oregon normal schools. Forsooth
they are small concerns, located in OBJ.
seure places. The teaching profession
don't amount to much. We can ham
mer them with our demagogy. Not over
one out of ten votes. The rest wear
skirts. Let us swallow all the big
gratis, but down with the normal
schools Thus howls the Oregon anti.
normal school demagogy. Take $27 900
for clerks in the legislature. Take
$4,000 to entertain the deadheads from
other states who come to the Lewis
and Clark fair. Take anything and
everything but abolish the normal
schools. That is the fashionable talk.
But in Washington everybody honors
the normal schools. No one throws
stones at them. While was in Wash
ington the governor of the state Wis
tied all the state normal schools. Great
were given in his honor at
Cheny and Ellensburg. The appropria-
tions for any one of the Washington
normals is nearly as large as for all
the Oregon normal schools. There the
demagog does not howl. The referen-
dun is not invoked. The initiative is
not threatened. The state grows. The
Washington school fund is larger than
ours. The state school tax is lower
The Oregon school taxes are outrage
ously high. The irredueible school fund
is not as productive as it should be.
Where is the graft that keeps a quar-
ter of a million of funds uninvestedP
Why have appropriations and state
taxes increased so per cent in the past
Ave years9 OF course. We are holding
4 fair, but why have all bills to pro-
luce revenues been killed. The Har-
lis bill, the Lounemann bill, any bill
70 put dollar in the treasury, has been
oigeonholed in the senate or killed in
he house. The only satisfaction we
get is by bowling at the normal schools
when we had better begin to string up

y speaking, to some of the corporation

made the place. above all things, casket for his

villas were built to be lived in: that they
saturated in personal memories, and that they
are never more interesting than when imagina-
ton peoples their terraces and glades with by
gone princes and beauties. with historic figures
in the church or in the state. In short, these
fine photographs. with Miss Phillipps's brief but
vivid chapters. make almost ideal souvenir
of that Elysium which is made up of the gar
dens of Italy.
Villas large and small, famous and obscure.
are scattered here and there in many parts of
Italy, and Mr.. Latham has still much work to
do-apropos of which fact may note that he
promises US a second book. in which he will rep
resent some of the villas on the Italian lakes.
But he well advised in confining these two
volumes to the villas in and about Rome and
Florence. For one thing, this insures a certain
harmony of atmosphere. In turning these pages
unconsciously concentrates the mind a
few main points of historical development The
Roman volume helps to form clear idea
of just how the Popes and the Cardinals created
the stately pleasure places which do so much to
bring element of lightness into the grandeur
of the city. The records of the Florentne villas,
on the other hand recall not only ecclesiastical
but merchant princes. Looking to both sources
of Italy's wealth in gardens we are struck by
the sincerity underlying the ostentation SO char
asteristic of them, and by this we mean not
simply artistic, but an everyday human
quality. Miss Phillips again and again has oc-
casion to aude to the devotion of the Italians OF
the Renaissance to the country places
homes. Speaking of Agnolo Pandolfni, whose
scorn of the Medici led him TO quit Florence
and dwell until his death at his villa at Sigma,
she quotes from the "Governo." book written
for the guidance of his son, a passage in which
the wise Tuscan points out the charms and the
solid value of rural life. He writes like a
poet as follows:

Mr.. Latham has made. by all odds. the best

MUSIC

AS speech is the expression of
thought, so is mucic the expression
of emotion. From earliest times,
mankind has studied this emotion
language, The primitive mothers
sang their love for their little ones
in the evening lullaby even as the
mothers of today. Old time war
riors went to battle with the fierce
song of hatred on their lips, return
ing with the joyful notes of victory
or plaintive songs of defeat. Even
in those ancient days there was a
song of love, of hate, of fear, of vic
tory, of sorrow and of praise.
History both sacred and profane,
mythology and the literature of all
ages tell Of the marvellous power OF
music over the human soul. Or
pheous breaking the Interchangeable
laws of the neither world by his
music, David soothing the anger OF
Saul, and Patti of modern times
moving her audience to tears OF
smiles-these are but varying types
of varying times which show the
subtle mastery of the harmony o.
sound.
Music is an instrument whose
range is the scale ofhuman passion
and of human hope. Music surges
with ebb and flow of hate and love,
sorrow and joy, pain and repose,
death and life, strife and peace, and
blended in its tones are the beauties
of sunset and sunrise. the ecstacy
of the birds song, the ripple O.
quiet waters. the crash of thunder
| in the mountains, the fash of heav.
ems fire and the gentle sweep Q
the eentlest breeze in the tree tops.
Yes, music is all Of these, but, mos

The High School Question.

1 noticed with pleasure, last weeks
article relating to this topic. No time
should be lost in selecting a site, and
using all honorable means to secure for
Kennewick a modern high school
building.
Some of our people do not take kind
ly to the idea yet, but once the advan-
tages to both the pupils and the COM
munity are realized, there will be no
serions objections to the. idea. 1t is
absurd to suppose that pupils finishing
the Sth grade, can take up High School
work in the same room under the same
instructor and master the work.
The Sth grade is the last one for
study of the common branches. Upon
leaving that grade further schooling is
superfous unless higher subjects are
introduced. Some understanding of
literature, Latin, algebra and the
sciences, is essential if a young man or
q young woman is to be considered in
a small way as educated.
High School work, its comradeship,
course of study, ideals and benefits,
should be kept continually before the
grade pupil stimulating him to work
for greater results and to realize the i'm
portance of complete mind develop
ment.
The present school building should
be enlarded and remain in use for the
primary intermediate, and grammar
grades.
On the south side of the track a
beautiful High School could lie erected
and many young people who had to
leave good High Schools on coming
here, could enter our school and finish
the course, not only to their own cred
it, but to ours as well.
The church and the school repre- sent
the progressive community.
More, and better people would settle
here, and real estate could not help but
rise in value as the efficiency of our
school system increased. The poor
thinkers, poor managers, uncuitured
men and women who make up much
of our population, are so, because of
poor or insufficient schooling. 1t is
much better to have no schools, unless
they be good schools. The study OF
Latin is valuable not only to the
scholar and the novel reader, but it is
essential to each of US if we are to seek
the origin of our own English or of
almost any other language, yet, the
teaching of Latin with the English
pronunciation is one of the gravest Of
lenses of which the teacher is capable,
but it often happens.
Let US have schoolsystenl here that
shall become statewide IN its H.
tiuence. Kennewick school district Is
no pauper and should not be so.con-
sidered, Let each wide-aWaAe patron
