the high school should be such as to
fit them in as far as possible for the
work they are to do later. The the
ory is now discarded that schools
should seek only to impart culture to
students, That theory is n relic of
the age when schools were intended
only for the leisure class-the upper
crust. The theory of the new school
.of educators is that an education
should fit young man for his es-
sential duty in the world-which is to
work. 1t is recognized that useful
subjects develop the brain just as
much as do subjects that are no long
er of use. True culture may be de-
rived from the study of useful sub
jects just as well as from a study of
the dead languages. If one only
knows it there is more science involv-
ed in the study of soils and plant life
than in questions relating to the So
lar system.

SPEAKER RUSK.

OF the eastern oregon men in the
legislature the most interesting fig
ure this year is John P. Rusk, speak
er of the house. Rusk is big fellow
with an attractive personality and he
is aggressive. In politics he is a pro-
gressive republican. He was reelected
as joint representative from Union
and Wallowa counties over DIR. Hook
ett, who had the assembly endorse
ment. In the race for speaker he re-
lied mainly upon his anti-assembly
record and on the fact that he was a
statement man. His chief support
came from the anti-assembly forces in
the legislature.
Thus far Rusk has followed a very
fair and straightforward course as
speaker and the indications are that
he will make good" He has splen-
did opportunity and if he measures
up to it there will be further and
higher honors for him. Eastern Ore
son has need of men of his type. So
has the entire state. Oregon is throw
ing the old time machine politicians
out of doors and is backing upon the
! men of the new school. OF these one
of the most distinguished at present
| is Speaker Jerry Rusk.

YOUR OWN ANCESTOR.

MY child, in the day of resurrec-
ton they will ask you what you have
done in the world, and not from
whom you are descended" runs an
old Persian proverb.
And that's just it. We must am
cunt to something on our own account
if we receive the rewards of merit
There are a lot of US who are ex-
ceedingly proud of our ancestry.
We either trace it back through CEN
| turies of proud record in the old
world, or to descent from some of
| the hardy first settlers in this. But
what does it benefit US if our ances-
tors came over in the Maylower, If
} they were among the early Dutch of
| New Amsterdam, the English cav
alters of Virginia and other south
ern states, the early makers of Penn
sylvania and New Jersey, if we do not
do something on our own account, IL
we do not make our own personal
standing of real worth?
1t is fine thing to have the blood
of the interepid adventurers-for that
was just what most of those early
corners were-coursing through our
veins. 1t is a fine thing to know that
the blood bounding through our ar
teries is mixed with that of men and
women who did the heroic thing in
colonization, of men who fought and
bleld in the great war for independ-
ence, and of those later heroes who
placed their lives in sacrifice in the
great internecine strife of so years
ago, but it is a far greater thing to be
| creating both a character and a rep
utatiOn to which others coming after
US will be able to point with pride.
1t is great to do the ordinary things
of life well in the ordinary environ
ment.
The parable of the vineyard tells
us the rewards for just such labor
If you remember, not a single per-
son among the laborers was asked
to do the extraordinary thing, bu
he was expected to do the ordinary
things in the right way and TO the
best of his ability, so that the stew.
ard, when the Lord and Master OF
the harvest should come for his ac.
counting would be able to give a sat.
isfactory report.
Therefore, not a worker in tn,
vineyard could fall back for justifi
cation on the record of one of his
fellows or on that of some forebeal
who had labored there. There wa!
only one record that could be con
sidered-his own.
Now every one of us is in the ex
act position Of the men in the vine
yard Of the parable. We must stant
absolutely alone in the matter o
achievement, and the only real en-
couragement and reward we shall
ever receive will be in the knowl
edge of having done our best. NJ
man or woman who acts in that llgh
has reason to fear the powers of thi
world or the powers of death, becaus
in the spirit in which their work /
done they not only rise superior bu

. lative result of the work of earnes

THE NEW YORK sENAToRSHIP

1t is interesting to note some fea-
lures of the New York senatorial ell
ection. The people of New York do
not elect the senators as do the peo-
pie of Oregon and as do the people
of most western states these days. II
seems up to Boss Murphy of Tam
many Hall to pick out man. Jus;
whom he viii select is not yet known,
butt it will not be Edward NJ. shep-
ard. Shepard is a good and able man
and is therefore Ineligible.
Shepard has been warmly endors-
ed for the senatorship by Mayor Cay
nor and by other reform democrats
of New York. In a letter published
a few days ago Gaynor declared that
for a generation New York has been
represented in the senate by "merc
lobbyists from the north or by cor
ruptionists in politics" He wants a
change but plainly doubts that it will
be forthcoming.
Speaking for Tammany Hall, Boss
Murphy announced that the organi
zation is against Shepard. Therefore
he is against him. So it appears tina
Shepard has little show of election
and that the democratic party of New
York will throw away its opportunit!
or placing a big man in the senate
It is natural it should do so for while
New York is boss ruled strong sena
tors are not wanted. Unless perhap.
it be some man like Root who il
predisposed to favor the interests.
But if New York had direct elec
ton of senators as has Oregon th'
people might be able to send som,
good men to Washington. They fire
quently elect good man as mayor o.
as governor. Witness the cases 0
Gaynor and of Hughes. But thel
New York will likely be the last stat
In the union to adopt direct election
of senators. New York is the sea
OF big business interests that do no
favor having public officials subserv
tent only to the people.
