USEFULNESS FIRST.

In his address to the high school
graduates Wednesday night Profes-
sor Ressler spoke of how educational
courses are being remade and old
ideals shaped to meet the newer needs.
1t is a great evolution that is TAX
ing place and there are many who
do not yet see the reasons for it and
appreciate the full strength of the
movement.
The change underway means an
absolute reversal of the old idea in
education. The old university cours-
es were shaped back in the middle
ages when the nobility ruled and the
children of the upper clases alone
were educated and their training was
wholly of a cultural nature. 1t was
not gentlemanly or ladylike to work
So welded was the world to the old
ways and customs that it was long
after the advent of democracy before
public men began to demand educa-
tional reforms. 1t was not until Sc
or 60 years ago that the new idea
took firm root. About that time
Huxley pointed out to the English
people the faults of their educationa
policy and warned them that unless
a great change was made Germany
would some day surpass England IL
lines of industry and commerce an(
consequently in national greatness
1t was about that time in America
that Senator Justin S. Morrill, intro

THE TITANIC BAND.

The Roundup band will contribute
money towards the fund to erect
monument to the members of the Ii
tanic's band and if the movement
meets with the success it deserves there
will be enough money raised through
out the country to commemorate in
splendid manner the heroism of
the musicians who calmly did their
duty while the great ship was sinking.
OF all the reports regarding the IT,
tanic wreck one of the most thrilling
was that telling how the strains of
Nearer Ny God to Thee" floated
across the waves as the lifeboats
pulled away to safety leaving 1900
others behind to drown. The story of
the bands heroic work was first
made known the evening the Car
pathia landed in New York with the
survivors aboard. At first many re-
garded the story as a piece of senti-
mental fiction. But the sworn evil
dence given before the senate board
of inquiry confirmed the report.
When the musicians might have been
struggling to save themselves they
stood true to their duty and rendered
selections for the purpose of calming
the people and softening the horror
of the disaster. That they did much
good seems certain and it may be
that the chivalry of the men on board
was prompted in a large measure by
the fine example set by the band.

MUST GUARD THE PANTS.

A few years ago well known young
Pendletonian came perilously near
losing his pants while he was calmly
sleeping in a Pullman berth home
ward bound from Portland. 1t was
a tramp who. was after them and he
dropped them on the rear platform
when chased from the car. So no
loss was inflicted. A New York man
recently met with the same sort OF
trouble only the thief did not drop
the garment in his flight. He got
away with them and when morning
dawned Mr.. New Yorker was minus
the neither portion of his outer cloth
ing. Just how the traveller managed
1t without his missing pants the re-
ports do not say. 1t is possible he
had another pair along for purposes
of safety. His ire was so aroused
however that he brought suit against
the Pullman car company to recover
the price OF his pants. He won the
suit, the court ruling that 1t is the
duty Of the Pullman company to pro-
tect its patrons from robbery.

\ TRUE BEAR STORY.

Il had proceeded in this way few
steps when suddenly 1 saw, about
eight feet away on the curving border
of the spruces, running directly at me,
what appeared to be a large bear. 1
had just time to push forward the
butt of my rifle aud yell, when the
bear collided with me. knocking me
down. 1t seemed to turn slightly to

FOUR KINDS OF NOVELS.

There are four kinds OF novels.
First, those that are easy to read and
hard to remember: the well-toid tales
Of no consequence, the cream-puffs OF
perishable fiction.
Second, those that are hard to read
and hard to remember: the purpose
novels which are tedious sermons in
disguise, and the love-tales in which
there is no one with whom il is pos
sible to fall in love.
Third, those that are hard to read
and easy to remember: the books with
a crust of perverse style or faulty
construction through which a reader
must break in order to get at the rich
and vital meaning.
Fourth, those that are easy to read
and easy to remember: the novels in
which stories worth telling are well
told. and characters worth observing
are vividly painted. and life is inter
preted to the imagination in endur-
ing forms of literary art. These are
the best sellers which do not go out
of print-everybody books.
In this fourth class healthy minded
people and unprejudiced critics put
the novels of Charles Dickens. For
millions of readers they have fulfilled
what DR.. Johnson called the purpose
of good books, to teach US to enjoy
life or help US to endure it They
have awakened multitudinus laughter
, and drawn forth innumerable sym
pathetic tears. They have enlarged
and enriched existence by revealing
the hidden veins of humor and pathos
beneath the surface of the everyday
world, and by giving ''the freedom of
the city, TO those poor prisoners who
had thought of it only as the dwelling
place of so many hundred thousand
inhabitants and no real persons.
What city it was that Dickens
opened to US, London. of course. in
outward form and semblance-t

duced his bill providing for the agri-
cultural colleges of the United States.
Since that time practical education
has made great advancement in this
country and its advance has been es-
pecially noticeable of recent years. In
Oregon this progress is shown by the
great growth of the Oregon Agricul-
tural College and the immense and
increasing popularity of that institu-
ton. A few weeks ago Carl Gray,
head of the Great Northern railroad
declared O. A. c. to be this states
greatest asset. His compliment was
prompted mainly by the nature of
the instruction given at Corvallis and
it was well deserved.
But the change in educational
methods is not yet complete. 1t is
but fairly started. The old system
dies hard and it is natural it should
for it has been in vogue for many
centuries and men educated under
the plan are slow to see its faults.
But the change is on and it will con-
tinue until the idea of a useful edu-
cation entirely supplants the idea of
education chiefly for culture. In a
democracy mans first duty is to work
and with the advancement of politi-
cal freedom it is inevitable the coun-
try will move more and more tow
ards industrial democracy also. The
country will not permanently main
tain a leisure class but instead the
time will come when all citizens
worthy of the name will be workers
too. AS the country draws closer and
closer to this Golden Age so will the
change go on in our educational
world until the transformation be-
comes complete.
