Normal School Troubles Reviving.

Neither will electors of Oregon gain
satisfactory solution of the normal
school trouble through direct legisla-
ton. Bills are being initiated for
re-establishment of the institutions at
Weston. Monmouth and Ashland
Voters have no choice of alternative
location. They must take back the
old schools or none. Of course, they
are at liberty to select one of the three
or two Of them, but that would not
remedy geographical misfts which
have been so long disturbing forces
in the politics and the legislation of
this state.
The Oregonian realizes full we'll that
this criticism will incite resentment in
certain localities. But in common
with most of the citizens of this state,
the Oreognian would like to see
normal school education established on
an enduring and efficient basis. 1t
would like to see one, or at most two
schools properly supplied with funds
and equipped with facilities and locat-
ed near geographical centers. This
seems a reasonable view of the matter.
The question ultimately is to be de-
cided, after all, not by local prefer
ence, but by statewide choice.
Yet no measure is to be initiated,
evidently, that will accord with the
general interest of the state. Instead,
the electors are to hash over again
the old-time normal school mess. The
Legislature last session was dead
locked between House and Senate on
the normal school question and ad-
journed without appropriating funds
for either of the three schools. This
was an unfortunate outcome. The
state has lost two years for training
of teachers and for establishment of a
new normal system. Now comes the
initiative, threatening to make matters
worse. For if by criss-cross voting,
all three schools or one of them should
win plurality vote, then the cry of
the "will of the people" would be
heard forevermore, although it is
manifestly the will of the people that
old normal abuses should be forever
abolished.
What is needed is legislation framed
in the interest of the state instead OF
in the interest of localities. Ore
gOnian,

Pity the Poor New Yorker.

A New York paper laments that no
ready made dinner is so savorless as in
these latter weeks of spring when
strawberry shortcake" appears on
the menus, printed there for taunt.
And it describes pale, yellow
material in two layers topped with a
lonely strawberry, stuck into some
suspicious white substance, and all as
dry as chip. That jaundiced writer
should come out to Oregon and see
and try the strawberry shortcakes that
would be set up to him honest, fat,
fresh, sweet, juicy, bulging with the
great luscious red berries as big as
walnuts altogether a delightsome
nourishment, a thing of beauty and
of joy to eye and palate, something
fit for a poem by j. Whitcomb
Riley. Portland Journal.

Strawberries.

Ripe luscious Oregon Strawberries
that for weeks to come will be abun-
dant, are so delicious to most palates
that probably few people worry about
what should be eaten with them as
sauce or dressing. When fully ripe
they need nothing to aid their dis
appearance, or at most nothing but
sugar. Many people cover them with
not only sugar but cream, but sup
posed dietary authority says that this
is a bad practice, as the acid of the
berry and the cream are mutually
hostile, and proceed to fight as soon
as brought INTO contact, to the discom-
fort of the stomach containing them.
French and Italian people dash wine
glass of claret over dish of straw
berries, and in Spain, this writer
says, the juice Of an orange is squeezed
upon the berries, which he thinks
makes them more palatable ard
wholesome than a blanket of cream
and sugar
A southern California editor has
suggested that the juice of grape
fruit would be good addition to a dish
of Strawberries. But it is not clear
why another acid should be added to
that of the berry, which seems to be
about right all by itself. However,
let everybody suit herself-observe the
feminine form of the pronoun, and let
mere man agree with her.
Strawberries are an ancient and
an almost universal fruit. Along with
the grapevine, clover and the honey
bee, it has been remarked the straw
berry is a close accompaniment Of
civilization These products may
have grown even before the dawn of
civilization, but they seemed to de-
light in the civilized state and to be
in harmony with its refnements.
1t was celebrated preacher who
was quoted as saying Doubtless God
could have made better fruit than
the strawberry, but he never did. :" He
must have eaten some Strawberries
nearly as good as those of Oregon. But
if he had eaten of the best of 0regon's
possibly he might, have doubted
whether omnipotent creative ability
could have eXcelled this rich red
queen Of the berry kingdom. 80. Portland
Journal.
