displays.
Mr.. Maris was present at the meet
ing Of the Commercial club Monday
evening and addressed the members of
that body. The Back TO the Soil
Movement, " he said. SIS meeting
with the heartiest interest throughout
the state. Anything should be gravely
considered by the people of Oregon
that will tend to cause more young

He stated that he had conferred with
officials of the Club and that the plans
had met with their approval.
A committee, composed of Professor
G. d. Thompson, Geo. K. Castuer and
Joe ID. Thomison, was appointed by
Chas. N. Clarke, president of the
Club to confer with Mr.. Maris and
decide upon the plans for the School
Fair. The committee met with MIR.
Maris in the rooms of the Commercial
club Tuesday morning and instead of
four smaller county fairs to be held in
the different districts, it was decided
to have one large central fair, which
will probably be held in the city of
Hood River at some date during the

great many oak trees. TIE aeorns
from these make excellent hog food.
In some parts Of the state they are
used ext nsively for such purposs.

School Notes.
By E. Il. Coad.

Appropriate Lincoln Day exercises
were held in a number of the rooms
Monday afternoon. The High School
students and the Seventh and Eighth
Grade pupils assembled in the High
School building to listen to an address
by Rev. Edward A. Harris. His
tribute to Lincoln as man and as an
ideal for youth to look up to was ap-
preciated by all who heard the address.
AS time passes the character of Lin
coin stands out more wildly and young
people appreciate him more than any
other national hero.
Samuel adler has resigned his posi-
ton as eighth grade teacher and has
returned to his home in New York
State.
The influence of music upon human
beings is tremendous. Why should it
not be given more prominent place
in our school work? Not all teachers
are prepared to teach music The in
tluence of music upon formative
character is of sufficient Importance to
Justify special teacher of music in
the Hood River schools
MIR. Critics and the Basket ball team,
who went to Goldendale last Friday,
report double victory for Godendale.
They won the ball game over Hood
River. The other victory was more
importat though, even if it was not
victory over the Hood River team. IL
was a victory for better sportsmanship
and better scholarship. The faculty at
Goldendale have been making a deter
mined effort TO require a passing de-
gree of scholarship from their athletics
or keep them off the teams. This is a
new philosophy to the students and
many of the t0wnspeople it seeus.
But it prevailed and the delinquent
student was barred from the game in
spite Of the fact that he was conceded
to be their star player. When athletics
rather than scholarship determines the
policy of school it is time to call
halt. Goldendale is to be congratu-
lated That victory continuously won
will be worth more than all the games
they can ever win. And it has not
been so very long since this was a new
philosophy to Hood River as we'll. The
writer incurred the everlasting enmity
of a few people for the stand he took
and has maintained regarding this
question. But all thinking people who
care for the welfare of the schools will
back the proposition that the schools
exist primarily for the acquisition of
knowledge, power, and skill And the
High School Student Body stands back
of this proposition now and demands
its enforcement.

crush the women movement
The only witness today was Dr.

tary for the colonies. His remarks
about the American wife and woman
