MODERN EDUCATION
MANDED.

To some extent the educational
institutions OF the country have be-
gun to realize the necessity OF teach
Ing more practical methods. The
old style college held back its gradu-
ates to the methods OF hundred
years ago and allowed those who
had taken a course In an ordinary
business college TO pass them In the
race OF the business world The
New York Herald some twenty
years ago said that Il was the col
lege man who was pacing the streets
out OF Job, Some said that these
unfortunates were over-educated but
the College course was impractical
and turned out to be useless to one
who possessed II, The truth is that
few OF our great captains OF indus
tries were graduates OF a college,
The most Of them received their edu-
cation In the school OF business and
graduated at Knock About Unlyer-
sity.
The hard working lad hnds the
old fashioned college beyond his
reach and so he goes TO the moro
practical Agricultural, Mining or
other Special school and those who
lack the means to attend these In
stitutlons OF learning take a couse In
a correspondence school, The old
style college Will, II is true, be kept
up by the growth OF the country but
will be largely patroniIed by young

men because this or that particular
college was the Alma Mater Of their
father ana grandfathers.
We are glad to note, however,
that the men who run our schools
Of higher education are finding out
the twentieth century demands and
are making an effort TO meet the
modern requirements.
To show that the leading college
men have awakened to the necessity
of teaching the practical, let us
quote from President Hadley Of
Yale University:
Whatever form the education Of
the next generation may take--and
there are many unsettled questions
before the work OF our colleges--of
this one thing, we may be sure:
They will and they must educate
men to take the leading places who
will have from the beginning the
conception which has been attained
In business life Of business success
as a trust, Of power and influence In
the country as duty to the country
and to God"
Let us be thankful that there Is
an awakening among our university
managers and that we may expect
better things Of them In the future.
We should keep before US the one
important thing and which is that
each OF our states and the nation
must depend on the intelligence or
our youth for safety. The higher
branches OF education must be made
desirable and available to every
youth who may seek the fountain Of
learning

LET US HAVE GOOD ROADS.

Good roads are a blessing to any
community and the men who make
them are in reality, public benefac-
tors. The Romans are the founders
Of the good road system and from
their country the idea spread into
England, France and other
countries. England's good roads
were long time coming but during
the last century they have made
fairly good progress. The good
roads idea 90 years ago took Arm
root in New England and the re-
suit is that all over those states
good roads abound. 1t would be
hard to find person in any of New
England states who Is not a firm
advocate OF improved highways.
il any man or woman OF Josephine
county will go to New England and
travel over the roads of those states
they VIII come home a firm sup
porter Of the good roads movement.
The trouble Is we do not fully real
lie the fact that good roads not only
add to the value OF our agricultural
land, but also to our products. To
become interested In good roads Is
long step toward a liberal educa-
tion and helper In the course of
higher civilization. This move
ment should receive the support OF
every man and woman In this
county for II is the very founda-
tion upon which we must build our
agricultural districts and great busi-
ness centers.
Don't hedge yourself about with
the narrow idea that people who use
the automobiles should build the
roads. IL you own a farm you
should never be content until there
is a good road leading from your
door to the town and then you and
yours will extend a hearty welcome
to those who visit you or pass your
door In an automobile.
Your wife and your children have
a right to the best that can come to
them through the good roads move
ment. The days of the back woods
have passed away forever and peo-
pie must realize that they live In
the twentieth century. One thing
we have to be thankful for and that
is the fact that we have the material
In abundance for good roads; there
fore let us make the best use OF It.

A number Of state legislatures are
now In session, and 1t is safe to say
that many trust corporations and
railroads, with very vivid remem-
brance OF past legislative action, will
be on the anxious seat for the next
few months. Still they may take
comfort in the thought that II they
have and do act fairly, they have
nothing to fear, for as a rule our
legislatures are fairmlnded and reas-
enable.

Guiding. of course, Western America
(but demands from Europe and the
Eastern states for the privilege of par
ticipation very shortly enlarged its
scope automatically. and it became
worlds fair in every sense of the word,
1t was financed in day. On Oc-
tober 2. 1906. a. 100000 issue of stock
was announced, and it was oversub-
scribed by S15O,000 before nightfall,
Seattle citizens offering every dollar.
The issue was increased to 100000
and the remainder was taken as rapidly
Later there was a bond issue for $780,
900 and it. too. was taken overnight.
The state of Washington appropriated
the sum of 100000 with the proviso
that not less than 100000 of the
! amount should be expended upon per-
manent buildings which should revert
to the state university, California, Ore
gon, Idaho, Japan, China and Canada
came most generously to the aid of
the project with ample appropriations
, of money and with buildings and since
then, with advertising and moral sup
port. Later New York and other states
throughout the country made appro-
priations and erected buildings, with
the result that the Alaska Yukon Pa :
cific exposition is more widely repre-
sentative than have been many of the
| larger affairs of the kind.
| Unlike other eXpositions, not a dol
! lar of assistance was asked from the
United States government, yet Uncle
I Sam is playing larger part here than
he has at any exposition ever held
Congress appropriated 100000 for the
erection of buildings and to give to Ha-
wall, the Philippines, Alaska and the
ploitation. AS a result, the govern
