\ DESERVED TRIBUTE.

In South Carolina the legislature
,is providing for monument 10 the
heroic women Of the Confederacy
and the New York Tribune. bitter
critic of the south in the years gone
by, commends the action in these
words:
However, the people Of the coun-
try may differ as to the issues in
volved in the civil war. there can be
only one opinion regarding the bill
introduced in the legislature Of South
Carolina providing for a monument
to the women Of the Confederacy.
Full recognition of the heroism Of
these women has been unanimously
accorded by northern as we'll as
southern writer's, and It is fitting that
future generations should have a Wis
ible reminder Of the self-sacrifice Of
that part Of the population which
did its heroic work during four dark
years, not to the inspiring music of
the military band or in that excite
ment of the battlefield which leads
to self-forgetfulness, but on the de-
serted plantation, in the midst of al
most inconceivable hardships
No one will begrudge the wo-
men Of the south the monument which
the men Of the south are proposing
to erect in their honor 1t is one more
merited tribute to an example Of he
roism which has few equals in the
history Of civilization"

NEIGHBoRLY ASSISTANCE.

(Athena Pross.)
Eastern Oregon is entitled to q
Normal school, and the one at Wes-
ton has accomplished remarkably
good work despite the uprooting pro-
cess that comes once every two years.
when for political purposes and the
requirement Of sectional emolumen's,
the Normal schools are dug up AMI
used as trading pawns for almost
every conceivable measure. In the
past these schools have borne the
brunt of battles as chief roustabouts
in securing legislation, good. bad and
Indifferent. They have been flayel
to satiate the greed Of the "Salcm
hog" and they have helped to elect
United States Senators, the support
ers of the schools in the legisla-
ture to gain the pitiful pit'ance for
maintenance having been known to
"come through" with support that
changed a toka from the shoulders
of one man to another

LET THEM SQUEAL.

The Portland Oregonian howls like
stuck pig about the appropriations
being made by the legislature. 1t is
especially vicious in its opposition to
the voting of money for normal school
maintenance. One would imagine
from reading the stories being pub
lished in that paper that this is a half
famished, flea-bitten commonwealth
instead of the prosperous state that
it is.
In voting money that is really
needed to support the institutions Of
this state and to further the states
development the legislature is doing
right. 1t is doing what the people
would have it do. The average tax
payer farmer or merchant does not
begrudge the money he pays to build
vp the educational institutions of the
state. Nor does he begrudge the
money that goes for other meritor-
ious purposes. The average Orego-
nlan Of this day and age is a PRO
gressive;" not "mossback;" he wants
to build up the state, not retard its
growth. \ few foreign cory 7rations
that are milking the state may OBJ
ject Let them kick.
What the legislature should do is
to prune away every needless ex-
pense. It Is doing right in putting the
state printer upon flat salary. In
the years gone by Oregon has paid
out absolutely needlessly as much
money in state printers fees as is
being asked for by all the colleges Of
the state. Why does not the Orego-
nian howl about the state printer
graft?
Then there g the salary grab
scores ri bills for advancing the SAL
aries Of county officials have been
introduced for the benefit Of those
now holding offices. The legislature
should by all means stop this prac-
tice I, should leave the regulation
Of salaries to county courts. There
viii then be no advances until they

WHERE THE FAULT LIES.

or late there has been much crlti-
cism Of the normal schools because
the attendance is small and therefore
the per capita expense of turning out
q normal graduate Is heavy
But this is the fault of the state
and not of the normals. For years
the normals have been insuffciently
supported and their very existence
has been constantly threatened How
can YOU expect students to attend
such schools? Is It any wonder young
ladies from Pendleton go to Ellens-
burg to receive normal instruction.
Then, under the laws of oregon a
normal graduate is shown no pref
erence over those who have had no
such training. \ diploma from an
Oregon normal school means moth
ing in this state. One who has had
no normal training and has not taught
school a single day is eligible to a
position. Under. such a system an
inexperienced teacher with a pulp
may come nearer securing a teaching
position than can a competent nor
NAL graduate.
If there is any virtue in normal
school training, and there unquestion-
ably is, then this system should be
changed. There should be a state
law requiring that public school
teachers be selected from among nor
NAL graduates or at least that pros
pectlve teachers show they have had
a certain amount of normal school in
struction.
If the state will adequately support
Is normal schools and then insist
that those who are going to teach at
tend them, there will soon be no COM
.,alnt about lack Of attendance at
the Oregon normal schools. Three
schools are not too many for Oregon.
n view OF its natural geographical
divisions this state needs three nor
mails.
