East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-10-25

The new president of Oregon Ag-
ricultural college, DR.. w. p. Kerr
was greeted at the First NJ. e. church
last evening with one of the largest
audiences which has yet been pres
ent at the teachers institute.
Training for the Industries" was
the subject of his address and he
handled the subject in q most enter
tanning and instructive manner. He
is a forcible and impressive speaker
and is highly qualified in every way
to direct Oregon's greatest educa-
tional institution in which over 500
students are now enrolled.
The theme on which DR.. Kerr
spoke gave him wide scope and free
hand in showing the advantages of
the Industrial training schools and he
made a showing which will leave no
doubt in the minds of his hearers
that educated effort and educated Ia
Dor pays.
DR.. Kerr showed that better farm
ing methods, more educated labor
better mental culture among the
farming classes Of the corn states
have actually increased the corn pro-
duction of the United States about
three bushels per acre, making an
aggregate profit as a result of bet
ter education of several millions Of
dollars annually.
Better methods of mining and edu-
cation among mining men and engi-
neers have reduced the cost of min
ing iron ore from s7.20 per ton a
decade ago, to less than 10 cents per
ton today. The training which has
made this great saving possible has
come from the industrial schools like
Oregon agricultural college.
Citing an instance nearer home, he
told how a 35-acre orchard at Grants
Pass which had been so terribly in
tested with orchard pests that 1t had
bbeen decided to dig it up, had been
saved by experts from the Oregon
college and last year yielded more
than $4,000 worth of marketable
fruit 1t was industrial training
which made this feat possible. The
| land on which the orchard is grow
ing was worth but $50 per acre as
wheat land, but as orchard it is
worth anywhere from $500 to $1,000
per acre.
He said that an education is now
II necessary to make the farmer equal
to the keen competition and narrow
ing opportunity. Something must be
done to supply the vanishing oppor-
tunities of the past. So educated ef-
fort must increase the efficiency of

the worker, give him greater returns
on smaller tracts of land and make
him capable of earning more in a
given time and on a stated invest
mept.
Technical industrial training has
decreased the cost of manufactured
articles. cheapened the cost OF pro-
duction of raw material and has
doubled the capacity of the worker
in many lines.
Oregon is receiving direct. tangible
results from her industrial depart
ments at the agricultural college.
The boys are better farmers, the girls
are more capable housekeepers af-
ter receiving the technical citizen
ship and more enlightened labor and
wider contentment.
DR., Kerr is highly educated man
and a thorough westerner. He was
educated at Cornell university and
from 1900 to 1906 he was president
of Utah Agricultural college, from
which position he resigned to become
president of oregon Agricultural col
lege.
He has lived in Utah practically
all Of his life and has taken a lead
Ing part in the educational life of
that state.

C. B. Aitchlson Returns.

Clyde b. Aitchison of the Oregon
railroad commission, passed down the
o. r. & N. today on his return from
Washington, d. c., and other eastern
points on his way home after an abb
sence of a month. He attended the
national convention of railroad COM
missloners at Washington, d. c., and
is delighted with the results of the
meeting. Railroad regulation was
discussed there by some of the ablest
men in the nation and he brought
back a volume of facts and statistics
which will be of immense value to
the oregon commission. All the west
bound trains are crowded with colo
nists coming to the northwest, and
Mr.. Aitchison's train, which was due
here at 1915 last night did not pass
until about noon today, being IL
hours late.

may lawfully receive for non-attend-
ance is sickness either of the child
or in the family of the child. Under
any other circumstances 1t becomes
the duty of the teacher to report
every child who is absent for eight
days during the month.
Out law differs from all others in
another respect, namely: We define
"truancy," and also make 1t neces-
sary that the child attend the entire
school term. In most places 10
weeks is all that is required. and it is
very easy for the parent to say the
child will start in next week or next
month.
One point Mr. Ackerman sought
to impress upon all present, and that
is that the law is made for the bene-
fit of the child and not the teacher.
Teachers or directors have no inher-
ent rights in the school room. They
are only there for the best interests
of the child. Therefore, 1t is the
duty of the teacher to use this COM
| pulsory law i'm such a way that II
will do the child the most good
| Every effort should be made to get
the child into school with the least
possible friction. Parents should be
seen and reasoned with before the
case is reported. And right here Mr..
Ackerman warned the teachers that
all should be treated exactly alike,
and the child of the influential di-
rector's family should be reported
| just the same as that of the poorest
in the district. He said there would
very seldom be any trouble with the
children of the poor. There are
only two classes of parent who usu-
ally keep their children out Of
school; the good-for-nothing who do
not appreciate the value of an edu-
cation, and the self-important who
think themselves above the law and
entitled to exart privileges.
The first case in which the parent
was arrested for disobeying this new
law has just been reported from AL
bany, where a fine Of IS was imposed.
A few such instances will do much
towards getting the law into good
running order.
In conclusion the law relating to
the teachers contract was touched
upon and explained.
At the close of this address the au-
dience was delighted by Mrs. Selkirk
Norton's singing. IL Dreamt," by
Sognai, was a selection we'll calcu-
lated to bring out the beauty of her
rich voice and its perfect cultivation.
Under the Rose" was given as an
encore.

Counties In His Immense District.

Congressman w. r. Ellis. who has
been absent in the interior of Ore
gon for several weeks, learning the
needs of his immense district before
leaving for Washington to attend the

weeks rest at home will leave with
Mrs. Ellis for the national capital.
He is elated over the wonderful
development of the interior of the
state and finds the people in all
parts of the interior counties highly
prosperous, although sadly lacking
in transportation facilities.
Congressman Ellis district which
comprises about $1,000 square miles
is one of the largest congressional
districts in the United States, and
perhaps contains a greater diversity
OF industries than any other district.
During the past summer he has
visited every one of the 16 large
counties comprising his district and
will go to Washington with an inn
,ac2se volume Of business jotted down
in his note book.

opportunity to hear the doctrines
of the Catholic Church explained
by two of her own members.
Most of you heard only the OPP
ponents Of the Catholic Church,
and these were, and are, not al
ways unparalleled nor correctly
informed. Give us a hearing. We
live among you, and we wish you
to know US. You will find that
YOU have been laboring under
many wrong impressions. You
will discover that many teachings
and practices are attributed to the
Catholic Church which she never
held nor p~racticed; such as ador-
ing images, forgiving sins for
money, or not permitting the laity
to read the Bible, etc. Come and
hear whence you get your Bible,
which the Catholic Church solely
and alone preserved for fifteen
centuries pure and unmutilated
Give us a hearing. All we ask is
"fair play" Then judge for your
self. This, as American born, We
may ask of our fellow-citizens.
All are cordially invited and al
may ask any question about re.
ligion, history, the teachings anc
practices of the Catholic Church
The Catholic Church is not {
secret society, having one doctrine
for the initiated and another TO:
the public. We want all to know
the truth, the whole truth, ane
nothing but the truth.
