Spokane frequently call upon Pendle-
ton for the best of her teachers, Pen
dleton in turn calls upon the best that
are to be found in the small towns
and country districts with the result
that the direct loss is passed on to the
latter. The small towns and country
districts are therefore the ones which
will be compelled to put up with non-
trained teachers.
In discussing the proposition this
morning, City superintendent Landers
declared that the need of system Of
state normal schools is unQuestionable.
He was of the opinion that the states
educational standard will suffer un-
less some provision is made for the
training of teachers at state expense.

GREETED WITH CHEERS
DESPITE GUILD HALL
Ex-President Dwclls Upon Scientific
Subject Before Students of Famous
University-Accompan by Am
bassador Rcid-At Magtlalen Col
leec.

oxford. Eng, June 7.-Before
large gathering at Magdalen college,
Oxford university. Roosevelt deliver
ed his lecture today. The audience
gave enthusiastic applause frequently,
If any i'll feeling was created by the
Guild hall speech it did not appear
here. Roosevelt arrived at ten, ac-
companied by Ambassador Reid.
In opening his address Col. Roose-
welt said in part:
AN American who. in response to
such an invitation is l have received,
speaks in this University of ancient
renown cannot but feel with peculiar
vividness the interest and charm of
his surroundings, fraught as they are
with a thousand associates. Your
great universities, and all the memor-
les that make them great, are living
relics in the minds of scores of thous-
ands of men who have never seen
them and who dwell across the seas
in other lands. Moreover, these as
sociates are no stronger in the men
of English stock than in those who
are not. My people have been for
eight generations in America; but in
one thing | am like the Americans of
! tomorrow rather than like many OF
/ the Americans of today, for I have in
my veins the blood of men who came
! from many different European races.
The ethnic makeup of our people is
: slowly changing, so that constantly
[ the race tends To become more and
more akin to that of those Americans
4 who. like myself. are of the old stock
I but not mainly of English stock. Yet
| think that. as time goes by. mutual
respect. understanding. and sympathy
among the English-speaking peoples
grow greater and not less. Any of my
ancestors. Hollander or Huguenot
Scotchman or Irishman, who had come
t. oxford in the spacious days Of
great Elizabeth" would have felt far
more alien than |, their descendant,
now feel. Common heirship in the
things of the spirit makes a closer
bond than common heirship in the
, things Of the body
More than ever before in the
worlds history, we of today seek to
penetrate the causes of the mysteries
that surround not only mankind but
all life, both in the present and the
past. We search. we peer. we see
things dimly; here and there we get
a ray of clear vision as we look be-
fore and after. We study the ire
mendous procession of the ages. from
the immemorial past when in "cramp
elf and saurian forms" the creative
forces 'swather their too-much
power" down to the yesterday. a few
score thousand years distant only,
when the history of man became the
overwhelming fact in the history of
life on this planet; and, studying. we
see strange analogies in the phenome-
ma of life and death, of birth. growth,
and change, between this physical
groups of animal life which we de-
signate as species, forms, races, and
the highly complex and composite en-
! titles which rise before our minds
