Walker said:
1T is with more than ordinary pleasure
that l extend to you the greeting of the
Grand Commandery and the knights Tenn

casion of this their first annual field day,
because to many of us the greater number

wherever the banner of Scottish Masonry is

likewise member Of a ommandery here,
and Benjamin Brown French, still another
of your members who has gone across the
river that bounds the life eternal, was ac-
tive a Templar here and known through
out the Masonic world as one of the most
distinguished in the Order of the Temple. Ii
Is the rule, with scarcely an exception, that
the workers in Scottish rite Masonry have
been the active members of every other
branch of our fraternity. We are glad that
you have honored with your presence;
that you have shown to the world that Ma
sons or every rite and of every degree are
united. At the threshold of Masonry we
are taught that God reigns over all and
that there Is life beyond the veil that linn
Its our vision as finite beings. and as
knights Templar We are reminded of that
hallowed sacrifice on Calvary and that re-
dempfion which gives promise of the life
eternal. We realize that every branch of
Masonry has its mission to perform, and
none more important than that of Scottish
rite Masonry in proclaming to the world
the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood
OF man. We rejoice that the rite which YOU
represent and to which so many of us owe
allegiance is spreading it's influence over
every land and every cline, and that it is
destined to exert for the good of mankind a
power that is second to none"
Grand Commanders Response.

Field Day Exercises at Friendship"
esterday-Reception to Supreme

The field day of the Washington Knights
Templar was regarded complete sue

probably be incorporated a permanent
annual feature 1t was one of the most in
teresting and imposing occasions in the sew
cnty years of history of Templarism in this

ton for the exercises. 1t comprised the

''I do not think the people of Yaki-

formation given in the papers about
the possible action of the secretary of
the interior relative to the Tietan ir-
rigatlon project" said Congressman
Jones to t e Yakima Republic.
"There will be no cessation in the
work of the reclamation service and
when everything is "ady to go ahead
with the work the department will be
on hand with the fuods," he contin-
ued. 1.-The people of Yakima must
continue their work and have every
thing in shape and by the time the
work that is now under way here is
completed the secretary will be ready
to make final approval of the scheme.
As understand It he has approved
the Tietan project. in so far as he can
act at present.
1.-THE situation may be such that he
cannot set aside funds for this project
now. But there will be plenty of
money in the treasury by the time
things are in shape to go ahead in
Yakima. The poople of Yakima must
not lie down at this stage Of the game.

COMPULSORY LAW
j. II. ACI<ERMAN PRAISES
SCHOOL STATUTE.
Says the Law Compelling Attendance
at School Is Doing World of Good
In Starting Children Into Useful
Ways of Livlng-Good Conditions in
Oregon Schools Generally.

State Superintendent OF Public In
struction y. II. Ackerman believes the
law compelling school children to at
tend school is not as effective as 1t
should be and as a consequence there
are thousands of children in the rural
districts who are leading idle lives.
In discussing the condition Mr.. Ack-
erman. among other things. says:
what makes the law valueless is
the fact that it does not make any
one county or state officer RESPONSE
bic for its enforcement. AS a conse-
quence no one goes TO the trouble of
seeing whether children in rural COM
munties are in school or whether
they are contracting vicious habits
while loafing with idle associates.
- am at work on an amendment to
the law which 1 shall try to have pass
ed by the next Legislature, fixing the
responsibility for the enforcement of
compulsory education. The number
of children who do not attend school
is very large through the rural COM
munities, and the influence of idlers
nullifies the work of the studious.
idle hands quickly become wicked
hands. l would not mind the absence
of rural children frOm.school so much
if they were working and were phys
ically able to do the work, but in a
ing, and after a few years of freedom
from toll it will be impossible to ed
ucate them.
"The rural school problem in Ore
gon is especially hard on account of
the unsettled character of a large
percentage of the population.
We hope to estah hlish additional
high schools soon. The five counties
possessing these hiPher institutions
have demonstrated the need of them
all over oregon.
by holding state Institutes in all
parts of the state we are trying to
give the teachers a course of instruc-
ton especially adapted for their work
in country communities. and especial
" in the revised courses of instruc-
tions that have been adopted recent
ly.
1.-The financial condition of the
schools is very satisfactory. Benefic-
ial results have followed the passage
of the law making 1t mandatory for
he county courts TO levy larger taxes
t." he support W the schools. We
will not need any additional legisla-
tiun concerning finances for several
years.
"The rural school population is in
creasing rapidly throughout the state.
Oregon is receiving immigrants from
all parts of the country, and her pop
ulation is growing in a rapid and
| substantial manner"
State Superintendent Ackerman
will be a candidate for denomination
on the Republican ticket, and so far
there is no one spoken of as likely to
enter the field against him. He seems
to be satisfactory to the educational
| interests and to the people generally.

The breeding flock is kept up by the
purchase of strong, heavy fleeced
