bread to keep them alive for two

In thinking over the citizenship Of
Richland as far back as we can re-

instance OF a native OF this commu-

this very remarkable record and look
we'll to the reason for this record.
The reason is this: You have re-

youth and cultivated those things
that stand for truth and righteous

OF boy or girl, so let us keep their
minds and souls away from wicked
influences and direct them to higher
and nobler things. Temperate, god

School interests in our country are
advancing. The youth Of to-day
have many advantages that were not
available to the youth that attended
the old academy that stood near the
church.. 1t was the effort Of Richland
to get the best teachers available

and refined. May it ever be so with

'ric Citizenship of Richlnnd.
(By Marshall S. Stribling.)

Ladies and Gentlemen: On the
nil Just above us, to our left, stood
Richland Academy. Though it may
have been small in dimensions. it
was Il mighty factor in the in
lluencc it cXcrtcd on the youth OF
this community. 1t was our privi-
lcgc to be a pupil and later to be a
teacher in that academy.
The committee on entcrtainmcnt
at the reunion of the teachers and
pupils OF Richland Academy asked
me TO make a few remarks on the
citizenship Of Richland. Our life is
Il busy one, and since receiving this
request we have had but little time
to think on this question, as our
thoughts were directed TO business
matters that required our immedi-
ate attention.
We were born in Richland commu-
nifty and our life was spent here un-
til we left home for college. We
fought summer school here in
1877, after having completed the
freshman class in Newbcrry College,
After we graduated we taught here
three ycars--from 1852 to 1885,
and we have been in close touch with
this community until this day
itichland has always paid special
attention to the educational and re-
ligiOus influences OF her citizenship
She looks upon the home, the school
and the church as the very best
foundations Of our government. both
national and State. Leave und0nc
any one OF these, and the very foun-
dations Of our nation will begin to
decay. The influence Of the homes
Of this community has been distinct
~ that Of Il Christian home. The pco-
pie here have attended church we'll
as far back as we can remember, and
the ministers Of the Gospel have al
ways been welcome visitors in these
homes. That the teaching in the
home and the preaching from the
pulpit may have full influence there
are other things that are necessary
We shall attempt to illustrate this
by planting crop. TO make a crop
certain things must be done before
the crop Is planted: The land must
be cleared, the soil broken up, and
better II the Stumps and roots are
removed also. So it is in a commu-
nifty. All the adverse influences must
be rcmovcd--all those things that
tend to corrupt the youth Of the COM
munity must be KEEP: out These
things have been attended to in your
community If we wished to fire the
blood Of Itichland and raise a storm
OF Indignation we would attempt to
put up bar-room in your midst. We
would be put out Of your midst in
short order. AS long as You keep all
wicked influences out Of this COM
munity, and plant and cultivate the
seeds OF truth and righteousness,
R!chland will continue to be noted
for its moral and Christian influence
and good schools. Eternal vigilance
Is the price. Pay it and YOU will
continue to prosper
Another thing we do not think
You fully appreciate. There is no
purcr Anglo-SaXon blood in the
world than we find in our beloved
Southland, and especially in this
community This race seems to be
Gods chosen people to cvangclizo
the world. AS long as we keep this
race pure our Southland will pros
per, and we think it has the bright
est prospect Of any part Of these Uni
tea States. The present generation

of this class is most universally good.
l have been profoundly impressed in
districts of this class with the eX-
IRENE scarcity Of evidence of turbu-
lence among the pupils, and of con-
%tentions. fretful dispositions among
the teachers. The wellnigh univer-
sal rule seems to have been good will
between pupil n teachers. In this
connection, it is interesting M sig
nificant to note the disappearing hos
tility Of children to schools. Whereas
a generation & the boy who was
fond of school work was a sort of
monstrosity, today there seems To be
very little pronounced dislike to
school. All this must make for an in
creased ability of the neighbors of the
future to get IN we'll together.
Subjects such as history and geog-
raphy, particularly, 1 found to be
taught with a constantly increasing
emphasis upon an understanding of
the facts presented as distinguished
from mere memory of such facts. Vast
Improvement still needs to be in this
direction, but in this better class OF
districts improvement seems to be
steady.

"A Stubborn Cinderella,

Mr. Mort II. Singer, with the aid Of
the successful authors. Messrs.
Hough. Adams and Howard, has pro-
duced numerous successful musical
comedies at his beautiful Princess
theater, Chicago. notably The Prince
Of Tonight" THE Golden Girl"
Honeymoon Trail" 1.-The Goddess of
Liberty" etc, etc, but the greatest
Of all was his musical show. "a
Stubborn Cinderella" in (which Mr..
Homer B. Mason Is the bright, partic-
ular star and which will be seer at
the oregon theater on Tuesday, March
30.
This clever play had a run of over
one year In Chicago, continuing on its
merry way a year ago last summer
after the torrid weather compelled
the closing of the doors Of every the
alter in the city. Last summer 1t du-
plicated its Chicago experience in
Boston.
"a Stubborn Cinderella" is woven
around the fairy tale, and in the sec
ond act is introduced a dream minu-
ct that is the feature of the play. A
short scenario Of the play follows:
Lady Leslie l. the daughter of a
Scotch earl and is travelling under
espionage in America. Very innocent
of the ways of the world, she falls in
with the boys and girls Of Columbus
College. meets Mac" who is the life,
and in fact the whole works" of the
college. and, deluded into the belief
that he is a great sculptor, falls in
love with him, unknown to her guard
ian. The sculptor travels with the
party and, in a beautiful scene in the
second act, he weaves the Cinderella
spell over her. In the freight Lady
Leslie sees the minuet. Her sweet
heart leads her through it, only to
disappear. But my prince came
back" is her dream. And then fol-
lows the awakening. In the last act
Lady Leslie is to pledge her hand to
her royal sutton, Grand Duke BOWS
Of Russia, by drinking from the loving
cup, but she turns from II impulsive-
ly and gives her hand to her poor
sutton. The scenic effects are mag
nificent and novel. The second act
set IN the Mexican border is worthy
Of Belasco. The hotel natatorium
scene in the third act is an orange
symphony. The local management
gives every assurance that the same
big production seen at the Princess
theater, Chicago, will be shown here
in its entirety, requiring three bag
gage cars to transport all its scenery
and effects.

An interesting account of the con-
dition and progress of education in
Oregon was given by State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction J.. H.
Alderman. at this mornings session
of the Inland Empire Teachers asso-
citation. The subject under discus
sion was educational tendencies and
Prof. Alderman had been preceded by
representatives from Washington,
Idaho and Montana.
He spoke in part as follows:
The existing organization of public
education in oregon is the result of a
long evolutionary progress reaching
back to the date of the legal estab-
lishment Of our school system 1t
has been adapted at this point and
hat to existing needs as public in
terest in education has waxed and
waned. 1t contains some adaptations
to needs which no longer exist, and
new adaptations to existing needs are
slowly being made, both through leg
islative progress and through changes
in the work of the school room.
I will attempt no historical study
of this progress of evolution, but will
confine myself to mentioning some of
the existing results of the progress.
In any statement of progress it is
difficult to separate means from ends
actual items of progress believed by
the speaker to be progressive. In an
effort dealing with such highly COM
pick sociological problems as does the
public school system, becomes almost
impossible to say with assurance just
what gains have been made in the
ultimate purpose Of the system, name
ly; the making of good citizenship. If
however. we set out to accomplish
results without public school system,
We are at least bound to scrutinize its
parts n see whether they are work
ing as contemplated. For instance, II
w find that a large proportion Of pu-
pills are attending school, a larger
proportion remaining in school and a
larger proportion entering and grad
uating from the high school, then we
know that the public school system is
at least leaving its mark upon a larg-
er proportion Of our prospective citi-
zens.
Attendance at Schools.
The first question which naturally
occurs is, How large a percentage OF
the total number Of children Of school
age are going to school? The statutes
Of Oregon do not constitute any range
Of ages as school age" unless the
census requirements between the
ages Of four and twenty constitutes
such a school age. Under the former
system of reporting attendance, the
