With Appropriate Programs
BY Public Schools,

Il. Il. Alderman, state superintend
ent Of public instruction, sends the
Press the following pertaining to the
Department of Education Lecture
Course as proposed for the public
| schools of the state. Mr.. Alderman
says:
'The purpose of this course is to
Offer free to the general public d
course of lectures by public spirited
men aud woman of tho State. The
lecture will be on topics of state aud
national interest, such as modern san
itation, industrial education, tax re-
form, and Others of kindred nature.
These will express the new ideas of
the leading men OF Oregon, best quail.
ided to speak on such Subjects. A
complete list of the subjects thus far
chosen is given at the close of this
article, but the list will bs constantly
enlarged by subjeots of the lecturers
own choosing.
ut is customary in many places to
secure lecturers from afar for such
work. They are usually interesting
speakers, but being unfamiliar with
the problems which confront US here
in Oregon in our daily work, the net
result of theiV labor is to take from
| the community large sum OF money.
"Our plan Is to secure from each
community through the help of tho
county superutendent and the city
perintendent, number Of our own
citizens who will deliver a course of
lectures under the auspices Of the
public schools on ropios of vital inter
est to all of our people.
"Each city superintendent. prin-
oipal or teacher who wishes to plan a
course of lectures should write to this
department, telling us how many lee
lures he can arrange for during the
school year. He should also choose
number of subjects from the list
given at the end of this article. The
only expense will be the travelling ex-
penses of the lecturer and entertain

it will be necessary for the principal
Of the school to plan the details of the
visit Of the lecturer. Where prac-
ticable 1t would be well for two or
three districts to join. The time and
the place, the name of the lecturer

oational possibilities of such a cause
cannot ke over Estimated. The sue
cess OF the undertaking in each com
munity depends largely on the schools.
There should be 40 admission charged.
In many of our towns the commercial
clubs would be glad to take care OF
the expense. The school board would

Johnson of Effingham was in the CITY
today with negro, Harvey Russell,
charged with the murder of his faith
er, Isaiah Russell in that neighbor-
hood on Friday. 4
1t seems from what can be gathered
from the inquest that was held by
Judge Johnson, that the old man had
owned little place near the depot
and had been farming on it with a
younger son. who died some time ago
and after his death the older son.
Harvey, came and took possession Of
the little farm and began TO treat the
old man very cruelty. He finally
drove his father off the place and it
was because of his coming back on
it that he was killed.
The old man returned for some of
his little personal effects and the boy
ordered him not to touch them. AS
the old man persisted. the boy struck
him in the head with a hoe.
The old man lived long enough to
go to a neighbor's house, where he
was being taken care of, as it is under
stood until the boy came for him and
removed him TO a cabin on the place
Later in the night he died and the
neighbors found him dead and the
boy Harvey asleep at home.
