ATHENA, JANUARY 27, 1905

A proposition is embraced in bill
before the Legislature this week relating
to placing the normal schools Of the
state under one board of regents, that
should be carefully weighed by the SEN
ators and representatives of Eastern
Oregon, if they value the success of the
Normal school at Weston. The graft
habit is so eternally strong in Western
Oregon that this paper seriously doubts
whether the Eastern Oregon school
would flourish to any great extent with
a board OF regents on which but one
Eastern Oregon mau would find place.
He would have three Valley men in the
harness with him, with the state board of
education as sort of referee. The pro-
gram as stated in the Salem Journal,
follows:
The legislative program this week in.
cludes a bill to put all the normal
schools under one board of regents, with
power to make uniform course OF study
and cut out all the local gratis. The
presidents of the several normal schools
are said to favor this plan. At present
each Of the four normal schools has IL
regents, including the state board Of
education, composed of the governor,
secretary of state and state superlnten.
dent of schools. This state board is to
be retained on the board of normal re-
gents as at present but instead of 36
regents to be appointed by the governor,
he will appoint four, one from each
county where normal school is located.
This joint board will have power to
make uniform course of study, and
absolute control of all the schools. This
bill will put the Oregon normal schools
on more permanent footing, will i'm
prove their educational standing and
reduce the expense of management. The
basis of appropriations will be changed
to an expenditure based on the attend
ance OF persons who are taking profes-
sional teachers course OF study, and
the applicants for admission must sign
blank application that they intend to
take such course as the state board
prescribes, and that he or she intends
to follow the teaching profession. The
bill has been carefully prepared by a
conference between the governor, Su-
perintendent Ackerman and Secretary
Dunbar, and will accomplish a great
educational reform il it goes into effect.
The iolnt board Of regents and uniform
course of study is the plan on which the
normal schools of California and WASH
ington are conducted. In California the
state normal school principals are made
by law members of the state board of
education.

The Oregon Agriculturalist says that
reports from different points in the
Northwest indicate that some enemy of
the San Jose scale is at work upon it in
places. In some orchards which were
badly infested a year or two ago the
scale has almost disappeared without
human intervention. Unfortunately,
however, taking the Northwest as a
whole the pest is spreading and the use
OF lime, sulphur and salt spray seems
likely to be necessary.

marked degree.

The Wickedness Of Growing Old.

The Wackedness Of Growing Old.
Here are the three deadly symptoms
Of old age: Selfishness, stagnation, in
tolerance.
II we find them in ourselves we may
know we are growing old, even if we
are on the merry side of thirty. But,
happily, we have three defenses, which
are. invulnerable. If we use them we
shall die young IL we live to be hun
dred. They are: Sympathy progress,
tolerance.
The first is the hardest to most Of
us, because our own little prison of
the actual is SO immensely important to
u.s. There is no denying the! fact that
when you have a toothache yourself it
Is hard to have to consider other peo-
pies aches. But It can be done, though
1t generally involves physical effort, for
we must bestir ourselves and act. The
mere feeling Of sympathy expressed by
action is poor, useless thing, but the
soul, determined not to grow old, can
force the body to such physical effort,
though there is no denying that it Is
hard awork.-Harper's Bazaar.
