TO VOTE ON NORMALS.

Professor A. F. Campbell, writing
to the Oregon School Journal from
Monmouth, says:
1.-THE legislature for 1907 has come
and gone 1t made provision for sup
port Of the old Normal, but fixed it SO
that the Governor felt obliged to veto
the bill We were greatly disappointed
but are not discouraged, for the vital
fact still remains that we are, just as
much as ever, a Normal school of the
state of Oregon, though the important
matter Of securing funds for the next
two years has been postponed to the
next session. We feel sure that We
can find patriotic citizens who will
temporarily supply this deficiency,
after next July, as we have already
found those who will finance the insti-
tuition until that time.
while we feel reasonably sure OF
our finances, as matters now stand we
will be compelled to go to Salem bien-
nially and beg for appropriations,
and hear it said that Normal schools
debauch the politics of the state. AS
we fall under the stigma of this hard
accusation, we want the system elm.
mated from politics. To accomplish
this a bill will be initiated to place the
names Of each Of the existing Normal
schools before the people at the next
general election, so that they may say
how many and what schools they
want. All the Normal schools are
anxious to have the matter finally
settled in this fair manner.
"In the meantime, the old bell will
call to the students of the o. S. N. s.
just as usual-our classes will be
graduated just as they have been for
the past twenty-five years and the
summer school will furnish a pleas
ant and profitable retreat for those
who desire to spend the vacation in
study"
