DR.. KERR's REMARKS
About Short Course for Teach
ers-Is in Portland.

Arrangements have been COM
pleted fot a summer course in
agriculture at the Oregon Agri-
cultural college, beginning Aug
ust 26 and continuing to the 31st
inclusive. The purpose of the
course is to give the teachers of
the state such preparation as they
may need for the use of the agri-
cultural book to be introduced
next year in the seventh and
eighth grade of the public
schools. It is hoped that as many
CT the teachers as possible will
avail themselves of this opportun-
ity of acquiring knowledge of
the new subject.
Dr.. Kerr, who is in Portland
on business connected with OAC
said of this special course:
"Oregon is one the first states
in the Union to introduce agti-
\ culture into the common schools,
and no means should be spared to
make this work a success from
the beginning.
every few of the teachers have
received any special training in
scientific agriculture: some, per-
haps, areeven without experience
on the farm. Then, again, the
text book adopted, although one
of the best ofthe kind published,
is prepared for general use, and of
necessity omits many things of
local Importance and perhaps
contains other things Of no special
value to people here.
"That the agricultural college
| may be of as great service as pos
sible in this movement for agri-
cultural education, it is fitting
that the magnificent equipment
the institution has tor agricultural
work, and the services of the
specialist in different subjects of
agriculture should be utilized to
the greatestextent possible in pre-
pairing teachers for this new
work. 1t is for this purpose that
the special Summer course is
establi shed. Tie work will con-
sist Of lectures on different sub
4 jects treated in the text, with
such illustrations and demonstra-
tions as may be helpful to teach
eTs in getting an understanding
i of the subject. The professors
will indicate the parts of the text
which may be advantageously
omitted, and will give supple
mentary material to be nsed by
the teachers in adapting their
work to local conditions. Ole
gonian.

and the idea is one that should be
given more attention and carried
into action. Corvallis needs such
a room, although the free reading
room maintained by the w. c. T.
U. in a measure answers the pur-
pose.
But much more is needed. A
room centrally located on Main
street where farmers wives could
not help but find it is the first
thing to be considered, and this
should be fitted with stove, chairs,
a couch and rockers, besides
roomy table where, if desired, a
luncheon could be placed for the
children when they become so
tired and fretful that the woman
from the country. in for a days
shopping, can scarcely manage
them. Water, wash basins,
toilets and other conveniences
would make such a resort of in
estimable value to womankind in
any town, and especially SO to
the farmers wives who have no
place to go for a rest and to care
for their children and babies when
their trading is done and they are
waiting for the man of the house
to finish his business.
Especially in winter is such a
room needed, for no woman likes
to enter a store and with her little
ones stand about the stove, il
there is one, there to be stared a,
by other customers and made to
feel that she is in everybody's
way. Many a woman has had
such humiliating experiences and
many a one breads the day il
