Registration now 100 - Many
New Pupils Arc Added
Each Day.
LACK or BOOKS DELAYS WORK
Condor High scnool Pupils to
Be Admitted at U. OF o. with !.
out Special Exams.

The total registration Of pupils
at present is 100 with new ones
being added each day.
Owing to the fact that we have
been unable TO secure text books
we have met with many diff
cu.ties. but at the present time
work in all the departments is
progressing and the teachers are
demonstrating the fact that the
text book is not necessarily the
source of all knowledge.
AS there is a misunderstanding
with reference to the standing
of this school and the credits
given to a graduate from here,
should he go to a higher institute
of learning, the following state
ment bearing on the question is
made: Graduates from the Con-
don High School will be ad-
mitted, without examination, to
the freshman class of the Uni
versity of Oregon as is shown on
page 80 of their catalogue for
l907-8 which states: Schools,
that have a four years course
with nine months q year, and
subjects running for a half year
or more, five times per week,
with recitations forty minutes
long and which have the subjects
of the state high school course,
will have their students admitted
to the freshman class in the
University"
We have based our course in
accordance with the foregoing,
and in consequence of same, our
students will be admitted in
higher Institutes of learning as
Condon globe. (Condon, Gilliam Co., Or.) 189?-1919, 1907-10-04

readily as students from any
school in Oregon; as will be shown
from the list Of Units" they re-
ceive here. 1t requires Is units
to enter the university, divided
as follows: English composition
and English classics, 4 units; Al
zebra, II; geometry, IA; Greek,
Roman and Medieval history, 2;
Physical geography, ]; botany, 1;
latin, 2; modern history, /; 20
ology, !; book keeping, /;
physics, 1; political economy, 1;
a total of 16i units or II units
more than is necessary for en-
trance. All of the above subjects
will be found in our four years
course of study and it is not
necessary TO make other state
ments with reference to the
standing of the school as you can
readily see that it is above the
average.
Under the existing conditions
we are unable to offer but one
course and all the pupils enter
ing are expected to take specified
studies including latin.
Parents are requested and ex-
pected to investigate the work
done.

A GREAT WHEAT CENTER.
Condor Warehouses Crowded
with CraIn---More COM
Ing In Every Day.

All roads lead to Condor. And
all of these roads are lined with
two, four, six and eight-horse
teams loaded with the wheat and
barley which has been harvested
in the great counry tributary to
Condor. On Tuesday morning
there were sixteen heavily loaded
teams in line at the warehouses
waiting to be unloaded and in
whatever direction a person
wishes to look they can see large
teams enroute to the warehouses.
1t was reported to a repre-
sentative of the GLOBE that one
firm received 5000 sacks on Mon
day last. And when one stops
to consider that there are three
or four firms buying grain and
all getting their share they must
be willing to concede that Gillian
county as a great wheat country
cannot be excelled.
