NO CHANGE OF TEXTBOOKS, SAYS THE
SALEM JOURNAL

the primary and grammar grades of
the public schools by the state text
book commission next June. Senti-
ment is said to he in favor of sub
Stituiing later hooks for the Thomas
history, the Cyr first and second read
ers, the Wentworth arithmetics, the
Reed speller the Reed & Kellogg
grammar and the Frye geography.
"'High school texts are said to be
in better condition. but few changes
will he made here also. Publishers
Will allow exchange of old books"
II is admitted by some well in
formed persons that several changes
can be made to advantage--and pos
sib!y one or two in general use drop
ped out altogether.
Mere changes for the sake of some
ones opinion or interest, unless
Packed Up by general demand from
the patrons of the state, should not
be entertained by the commission.
Sometimes 1t is even possible to
work up 4 demand among the teach
ers for change.
IL is wei known 1act that agents
of publishing houses seek all kinds of
opportunities to address teachers in
stitutes and conventions to make a
demand for their wares.
So that even n demand from n large
body of teachers for changes should
not always be a guide for the state
textbook commission.
The teachers and the pupils and the
parents who pay the bills want as few
changes as possible. Even the retail
dealers should be protected against
too many new texts.
In the next state adoption the text
book commission will do wen If prac-
tical, to reduce the number of books
and give the state as few changes as
possible, That is the plain business
horse sense view of the matter.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-04-10

The East Oregonian is the first
paper in eastern Oregon and the Sa-
lem journal the first paper in west
ern Oregon to strongly oppose any
change in text books. except to re-
luce the number now used, at the
coming meeting of the state text
book commission in June.
The Salem Journal says of the
matter:
1t is announced in advance of all
action Of the state textbook commits
sion lust what changes OF school
books are to take place.
This is important because the state
hooks for the whole state of Oregon.
These selections are not only for
the public schools, but many colleges,
academies, and private schools and
business colleges have to use the
books in general use by the public
schools.
Who, then, has any knowledge of
what the state textbook commission
will 10 next juno when it meets to
consider this matter?
Tho present school book adoption
has not been in use more than about
five years. Even the teachers them
selves do not know just books could
be improved.

SHOULD GROW CoMBING WOOL
Pioneer Wool Man of Portland Sees
Good Chance for Oregon.

That western Oregon offers an ad-
mirable field for the production of
comhing wool Of as fine quality as the
millions of pounds imported into this
country annually from England, and
that farmers throughout the valley
could materially add to their wealth
by running small bands of combing
wool sheep, is the opinion expressed
by Samuel Pearson Of this city, who
for nearly half a century has been
closely allied with the wool industry,
gays the Oregon Daily Journal.
"If western Oregon farmers would
devote only a small portion of their
time to this industry" he said, ut
would mean the establishment in a
very short time of combing plants to
handle the product, and besides add
! ing new factories and opening up
new avenues of employment for Ore
gon, would be a source Of heavy and
profitable income to the farmers
themselves" In a letter which Mr..
Pearson addresses to The Journal, he
says:
Snr1nkage Is Less.
Regarding the very valuable and
interesting report of the sheep and
wool industry of the United States in
your issue of April 2, 1t shows that
Oregon has 100000 head of sheep
with a wool production of 15,000,-
900 pounds. The shrinkage in scour-
ing, however, is 70 per cent 50 that
the production of clean wool is only
100000 pounds.
81 consider this report hardly just
to this state in regard to the shrink
axe. No doubt it is true with refer
ence to the eastern part of Oregon,
but 1t is we'll known that very great
part of the wool grown In the Will
lamette valley is known to the trade
as cross-bred combing, which class
rarely exceeds so per cent in shrink
age.

TestatOr's sisters Kept Dick There for
Eight Years-DIck's Dead Now. Aged "a.
Dick. a horse who was willed to the
Misses Savage OF 5ls Mercer street, Jersey
City, by their brother, George Savage. a
well known plumber, eight years ago. is
dead at the age of 81. He succumbed
to general debility incident to old age.
In his will Mr.. Savage provided that
Dick should have the exclusive use of two
pasture lots in Baldwin avenue near the
City Hospital as long as he lived. The
Misses Savage were enjoned to take good
care of the old horse and they faithfully
carried out their brothers Instructions
Dick WAS led to and from his pasturage
every sunshiny day by children specially
employed for That purpose and everything
was done to make his life comfortable.
Many times real estate dealers and others
offered the sisters good prices for Dick 8
lots, but the Masses Savage invariably re-
fused to sell. Adjoining lots were built
upon. but Dicks pasturage wasn't in the
market. For years the sisters have heen
paying taxes en- the lots and it is very
probable that the property will be dis
posed Of in the near future, as it is de-
sirable for building purposes.
Dick formerly pulled his masters business
wagon and earned his reward by faithful
service
