MURPHY,

Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Ruch were
visiting friends at Murphy Sunday
e. L. Churchill, Of Grants Pass,
and a party of friends were visiting
at Redlands vineyard Monday.
Mrs. Grace Lawton, of Southern
California, is visitor at the home
Of her mother, Mrs. F. M. Hayes.
Sunday was a very quiet day at
Murphy this week, there being no
ball game. Buggy riding seemed to
be the order of the day, as we OBJ
served several young sports out with
their best girls enjoying the fresh
air and beautiful scenery

Gave Street and Number Address.

Grants Pass has earned a new dis
tinction, and most strange OF all, IL
is that of having the greatest number
of prominent citizens, comparatively,
in the United States.
Upwards of 5000 is given by the
postal authorities as a conservative
estimate of the number OF promln-
ent citizens in Grants Pass. The au-
thorities complain because there are
so many. 1t is explained that every
one who considers himself of any
prominence expects the post office
clerks to know him, and as a result
does not take the trouble to have
his mail addressed to his street and
number or post office box. Esq"
is sufficient for the majority.
Because of the fact that a number
of new clerks unacquainted with
the $4,000 esquires are being en-
plOyed, the result Is that frequently
some citizen is provoked because he
is requested by the carrier or by a
stamp on the face of the envelope to
have his mail addressed properly
Every day now the distributing
clerks are compelled to send dozens
of letters addressed to a like number
of prominent citizens to the directory
clerk because of the lack of address.
A delay in the delivery of the mail
follows
(NOTE.-The typewriter who

take in the name of the town This

and the travelling public the old
structure toppled over and fell into
the stream over which it had carried
thousands of people safely during
many years past. A very few mo-
ments before the old bridge fell
number of people were out on it, but
they walked off just before the rot
ten structure went down. The new
bridge is 1864 feet long. The first
span on the south side is 1860 feet,
the draw span is 100 feet, and the
span on the north side is 244 feet.
Our old bridge trembles and
sways, even when a dog trots over
it, and why it does not go down
when an extra heavy load of lumber
is on IT will probably never be ex-
planned There will be great rejoiC-
ing when the hour comes to turn the
tide of travel over the new bridge.
This Is likely to be at an early day.
This coming event reminds us there
should be some action taken at the
formal opening Of the new bridge
and the county board will do well
to allow the people an opportunity
to express their pleasure in possess
ing the best steel bridge in Southern
Oregon When the time comes we
can have half holiday, some
speeches and music, as well as a big
picnic dinner in the park.

will have charge OF the census, and
1t is expected that by September the
1st they will be ready to do the pre-
liminary work. Each supervisor,
under the new law, will receive a sal
ary of $500. This will be augment
ed by 81 for each 1000 names found
by the enumerators. 1t is the bonus
which will induce the supervisors to
be enthusiastic on the job and see
that everyone is accounted for. In
their turn, the enumerators will be
paid 8 cents or 5 cents for every
name, depending on the density Of
population in the district to which
they are assigned There is big pay
for enumerators who are active and
industrious and who overlook no one
on their beat.
This pending census will be con-
fined practically to population alone.
There will be a few special subjects
taken up, but these will receive spe-
cial attention from the departments
interested. The supervisors men
will devote themselves only to tabu-
lating names and personal data re-
quired by the bureau. 1t is the de-
sire of the census bureau to clean up
I the work in three weeks. From Sep
| tember, when the supervisors are in
harness, until the enumerating be-
gins next year, the intervening time
we be devoted to laying plans for
the enumerators so that when the
enumeration starts, every name-get-
ter will know exactly what to do and
will work with system.

educator OF aDlllIy, III dh auuI S0S ="
Gently made some practical sugges-
tions regarding school work and the
ends TO be sought through education.
He said
1--WE have too many people Of leis-
ure; we have produced too many
people who think that there are on
" a few select kinds Of work that
they ought to do, and are strongly
ayerse to all kinds Of manual lab
or. This Is direct product and
fruit Of the aristocratic idea that we
got from England, and allowed to
grow in and iniure our educational
fleld--like the tares among the
wheat
Down through the history OF edu-
cation in New England from the days
of the old preparatory grammar
schools, pupils were invited and
coaxed toward few choice callings,
and the schools in large measure
fitted them for these calllngs. The
system of education encouraged peo-
pie with certain ambitions and gave
less help 10 others. It helped those
who were to get living by their
heads and gave less encouragement
and sympathy to those who we're TO
get living by their hands, and
thus educated the people away from
many kinds Of technical, Industrial
and agricultural labor,
80. therefore, as | have tried to
show I'm this brief address, we have
had In the growth Of our educational
system these two opposing forces or
ideas, lnharm0nious and conflicting,
the Dutch idea Of democracy y-ever
proclaiming the doctrine Of the
equality Of all in the schools the
English, or arstocratc idea, which
regulated the internal work and
kept ever pointing toward a fashion
able and genteel kind of life as the
grand prize or goal Of an education
al career. This aristocratic idea de-
splses democracy and continually
urges pupils to abandon the common
ranks and seek living in what are
termed the higher callings.
"Our schools, 50 far as they have
allowed themselves to be influenced
by this idea, have thrown their in
fluence against democracy, against
all those common vocations and
trades that have always been the
pride and the strength of evey ma
tion, and the support Of the common
people from whose ranks have come
the men OF inventive genius who
have made the laws OF nature bend
TO the service OF man; who have
drawn hidden treasures from the
dark caverns of the earth; who have
spread the white sails OF commerce
on the seas; who have amassed the
nations wealth, have fought her
battles and won her victories.
Nov in a republic where we claim
that all are equal before the law
and entitled to equal benefits from
the law It would be difficult to show
