Punishment easily can be found in
requiring tasks of children, or de-
priving them of something which
they otherwiso might have enjoyed
The best punishment is that which
can naturally be related in the mind
or the child to the offense which has
been committed
I have five children and I have
tried whipping: but 1t doesn't work.
Let's substitute love and flrmness

CoNvICrs ON THEIR HONOR.
Chicago News.1

(Chicago News)
II one happened upon gang OF
forty-five men working on road
near Dixon. in Lee county, Illinois
one would receive no visual sugges-
ton that they were convicts lately
locked up in Joliet penitentiary. They
do not wear the prison stripes. They
are not anchored with ball and chain
They are not even watched by armed
guards. And they are to work for
two months cutting a state highway
through a hill.
Not more than ten years ago. per-
maps, the idea that prisoners might
be allowed so much freedom of action
would have generally created scorn-
ful laughter. But the honor system
applied to convicts has been tried in
other states and has proved it's
worth. 1t has been demonstrated
that when men of certain types who
nave been locked up give their word
that they will not run away If allow
ed their liberty to perform work in
the open their word IS kept in a great
majority of cases
The explanation lies in the fact that
| all the good is not squeezed out of a
man merely because he has commit
ted some offense against the state and
been sent to penal institution. The
| chief probation officer of the state of
Oregon where the honor system is in
operation, defines it as that system
of treatment of prisoners in which
we recognize some of the dependable
qualities of the men and put these
men on honor to use these qualities in
service for the state, and in which we
substitute for kicks and frowning
guns, so far as We are able, other in
centives to be somebody and to do
something" In this way, he says. new
emphasis is laid on that part of the
constitution of his state which de-
clares that laws for the punishment
of crime shall be founded upon the
principle of reformation and not of
vindictive Justice"
! When a mans loyalty, his friend
ship, his sympathy and like traits are
appealed to, the man will ordinarily
| respond. even though he has been
convicted of crime. 1t pays to return
/ him to society a decent citizen, but
| this is virtual impossibility when
'vindictive Justice applies. So the
| warden of Joliet penitentiary shows
! wisdom in seeking a judicious exer-
else of the honor system under a new
/ law of this state

In his talk last night Prof. Holden
gave in slightly modified form the
argu ments which
The Gospel is DIR. wit h ycombe'
Taking Hold. Prof. Scudder and
associates of the
agricultural college have used for
many years in order to discourage the
single crop farming idea.
The chief point the better farming
advocates seek to make is that 1t Is a
mistake to raise but a single product
such as wheat II permits Of use OF
the land only half the time. 1t will
in time impoverish the soil whereas
diversified farming will enrich the
soil and will mean larger profits to
the farmer.
The talk of better profits is the one
bat will win the day. The idea Of
appealing to farmer to change his
methods for the sake Of sentiment
will accomplish nothing. Nor is there
anything to be gained by criticising
farmers for moving TO town as Prof.
Holden criticised them last night. A
farmer has as much right TO move to
town as anyone else He has right
To- go duck hunting too when he wants
TO and he knows it, It is nonsense to
tell farmer he should stay on his
ranch out Of duty or out Of sentiment.
The farmer will judge for himself as
to to his duties ami as to his personal
desires regarding where he should
live.
But the talk Of better profits to be
obtained from better methods is bust
nesslike talk and it should be effec-
tive. That the experts are right upon
this point cannot be doubted. The ex-
perience Of farmers in many parts OF
the country bears out their statements.
Rotation and livestock make for soil
fertility; the raising OF one crop con-
tinuously depletes the soil. That is

therefore have not
had the benefit of thorough training
for the work they have to do. Of the
teachers in the schools of Pendleton
about 80 per cent are not normal
graduates.
| The above figures are from the rec
ords of County Superintendent /. f.
Young and City Superintendent ]. S.
Landers. There are approximately
1877 teachers in the schools of the
county outside of Pendleton. OF this
| number there are but 73 normal or
college graduates. OF the remainder
there are 54 high school graduates
while the others, 20 in number. have
had but little work above the eighth
grade
In the Pendleton public schools
there are "a teachers all told and of
these "a are graduates of normal
schools. The percentage of well
trained teachers is higher here than
elsewhere in the county because the
superintendent and the board insist
upon normal graduates save in cases
where a teacher who is non-gradu.
ate has had conspicuous success in
teaching.
From the foregoing the conclusion
may be easily drawn that normal in

that there are so few normal gradu-

Tow without normal instruction in

that has been established in the Pen

Is 1t any wonder our schools are not
