Portland looks good from Bower
mans point OF view and supplies him
with his immediate purposes, which
chime in beautifully with the devel-
opment of Portland's avarice
1t is the experience of the two or
three one-normal states to hunt up
the big cities that are so large and
wealthy they need have so little re-
gard for the proprieties they place
their "helPs half acre" and White
Chapel districts at the union depots
so as to give the stranger the proper
impression of the place?
On that program Colorado would
have chosen Denver in place of the
little town of Greeley. In place of
Iowa massing it's enormous normal
school plant at the little village of
Cedar Falls, it would have gathered
its educational machinery at the big
city of Sioux Falls Yankton's only
rival for half century as the wick
edest atmosphere in that quarter of
the union, or at Des Moines, which
has something like Portland's class.

mends itself as sound, it will be ac-
cepted by the people, and there will
be an end of the everlasting agitation
on the subject.
The Journal has not at any time
approved the plan of abandoning all
the schools and establishing instead
a single school to be located at Port
land. There are many reasons why
a change of that kind should not be
made, notable among which would be
the cost of the site, the expense of be-
ginning everything anew and the loss
that would be involved in abandon
ment of buildings already provided
The Journal regrets that provision
was not made for support of all the
schools now IN operation at least un-
til the end of the current scholastic
year. The teachers are under implied
contract, the classes on the verge of
graduation and certain measure of
obligation rested upon the state to
at least carry them through the re-
mainder of the year. The failure to
make such a provision, of course, was
due to a disagreement tha arose be-
tween the senate and the house, {
disagreement that ended in adjourn
ment and nothing for the normals.

THE NECESSITY FOR
NORMAL SCHOOLS

(Salem Daily Capital JournaL)
Those who contended for one nor
NAL school as against three or four
concede that there is a necessity for
such an institution.
The difference between one or
three or four is theory.
There Is then the objection that
three schools of this character form
la combine.
But that is not an argument
against on institution for training
school teachers.
Can the training Of public school
teachers with safety be let to Sec
tartan colleges?
The worst enemy Of normal schools
will not admit that.
Can the Methodist, Baptist, Pres
byterian or Catholic colleges supply
all the trained public school teachers
that are needed?
If they could would that be de-
sirable?
Must not the state establish the
standards of public education?
The only charge that was made ir
the legislature was that they formed
political combination to get appro.
priations.
But the same charge was made
against the scalp bounty bill. th'
Crater lake road bill. the pilot bill
the Eastern Oregon asylum bill.
1t would be useless to tell th'
Honorable Senator's, whose only CT!
was "wipe out the normal school,

A SINGULAR SOLUTION"


i"SSloIl i@Ce1uSI, ICD. 1o'J
Upon what meat hath fed the state
senate of Oregon that it hath grown
so abnormally swelled with a sense
of it's own Importance?
This peculiar body has:
ignored the action of the last pre-
ceding legislature, which left the set
tlement of the normal school question
to a state board of control.
Ignored the recommendation of this
board, which with the exception of
one regent, Mr.. Aver, decided that
three normal schools should be main
tanned in Oregon, at Monmouth, Ash
land and Weston, and that a dormi-
tory is needed by each school.
Ignored the action of the lower
house, which by large majority vote
appropriated $106,000 for each OF
these three schools.
Ignored the wishes of the state SUI
perintendent of public instruction,
Mr.. Ackerman, who is familiar with
the work of the normals, and has
earnestly expressed himself as in fa-
Vor of their maintenance.
Ignored the recommendation OF
Governor Chamberlain. who declared
in his message in favor of three
schools.
Taken no thought of the work OF
years in building up the normals tc
their present state of efficiency
work accomplished despite a weight
of opposition and hardship unknown
in any other state in the union.
Shown no consideration for hun
dreds of normal school graduates
whose diplomas will be objects OF
ridicule when their parent schools are
killed.
Attempted to deprive eastern Ore
gon of it's only state educational in
stitution, whose usefulness is showr
| by the fact that it has a larger at
tendance than ever before, and larger
than that of any other normal in thu
state, although it was closed for one
year by the referendum, and has hat
to fight for its very life at every ses-
| sion of the legislature.
Ignored the wishes Of the people a:
| expressed at the polls in June, 1906
when they sustained the general ap-
preparation bill by three to one on &
referendum vote in which the norma
schools wer the only issue of i'm
portance.
| Voted to abandon school plant

purpose except as home for tn

"A Queer Reason.
(Weston Leader,)

The real reason why the normal
schools have been abandoned lies in
the belief that there is no reason to
educate and graduate school teachers
at the expense of the state. 1t is be-
lieved that school teachers, as others,
preparing for professions, should ed
ucate themselves. The state doesn't
educate plumbers nor boiler-makers,
nor sheepherders. Yet all these and
many more, are essential to the state.
Besides, it is believed there is too
much merely literary education these
times, and not work enough to fur
nish supply of milk, eggs and butter,
pork and beans. Again, members OF
the legislature, moved by the crowd
OF normal advocates, were trying to
trade and to log-roll everything, tc
get what they wanted.-Portland Or
egonian.
So? Then why should the state
at the agricultural college and uni.
versity, educate those who are "pre.
pairing for professions?" And will
the Oregonion gindly be specific an(
point out single example Of vicious
legislation that the normal schools
have "log-rolled" through the legis.
lature? They have fought for theil
lives, it is true. Would the Orego-
nian have them whine and crawl like
craven dogs under the lash?

THE NoRMALs.

(Oregon Daily Journal, March 2.)
1t is the lack of orderly and sound
arrangement in the normal school
policy that keeps the schools constant
ly in an unsettled state, and constant
ly before the legislature in a half
starved condition and begging for the
means of existence. 1t has been a
bad condition for the schools, as has
been seen in past times when there
was lack Of provision for some of
them. The thing that is needed, and
that ought to be supplied, Is a SEN
sible and stable arrangement of the
normal school policy, based on the
needs of the state, and taking into ac-
count that supreme factor of what
the people Of the state are willing to
pay for. If it be policy that COM
