WORK AND ESTHETICS.

Don't for one moment entertain the
false notion that children will study
better in an utterly bare room where
there is nothing to distract the at
tention begins a writer in the South
ern Educational Journal. Work that
is done amid pleasant surroundings is
pleasant work and therefore nearly
always good work. Here is a little
story I found the other day that IL
lustrates my point:
"A party of women once had the
privilege of inspecting a factory de-
voted to the manufacture of thread
Their cicerone was the proprietor of
the factory, one of the largest in the
world
What most impressed the visitors,
however was not the size and evident
prosperity of the plant but the beau
ty of the place. Not only was every
sanitary and commercial comfort at
tended to. but. as far as possible, ev-
cry esthetic consideration was observ-
ed as wei. Around each wall of the
spacious. we'll Widowed apartments
where the work was done, ran
broad exquisitely painted frieze The
figures upon the frieze were dainty
dancing company. beautiful in color
as in form. and fit to grace the walls
Of a dwelling rather than a mill.
Finally one of the women. a prac-
tical plain-spoken dame, asked the
owner why he made beauty such an
object
"I don't see the use uf a frieze
like that in a factory she said, blunt
ly. why do you have it?'
THE mill owner smiled. Well.
come TO think Of it. it is very prac-
tical reason he said. I find it makes
better thread
And so you will find that good pic
lures on the walls of your schoolroom
will make better pupils. For beauty
is spiritual force and always has the
power of making good"

EDUCATION COST.

Based on statistics recently set
forth by the Sage foundation, the Chi
cago Dial's account of the standing of
the various states in education is en-
tightening. The relative place of each
state is determined by the amount of
money paid yearly to teachers and by
the total capital invested In school
buildings. The argument is that
the people spend money for shows
what they care for; and on the whole,
it does not appear, the Dial seems to
think, that America loves education
so much as Is supposed. The sums in
vested. in educational enterprises are
said to fall too far below the amounts
spent in other directions.
Massachusetts, for each Of her
school children, has put s115 into
school buildings and grounds. An
other Of the states has spent only 81
in this way for each child. or course
the comparison is not wholly fair, be-
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1913-06-19

cause land in Massachusetts costs
much more than it does in some other
places, and perhaps the cost of the
buildings may not always represent
the actual amount of good teaching,
that is done in them, But Massa-
chusetts stands well up in the list in
the average amount of salary paid to
teachers. If here again the money
standard is really the test of good
teaching
California and Arizona average re-
spectively 1918 and $S17 a year per
teacher, and New York and. nd.Massachu-
sets come next with 1913 and $751;
a year. 1t can hardly be said to fol-
low, however that the teaching in the
state where the most money Is paid
Is the best teaching. Perhaps It is
necessary to pay we'll in Arizona to
get teachers to leave their city homes
for the newer region. In California.
teachers may be scarcer than they are
in the East, and this would initiate
for higher average wages. Wrong
though it may seem to be. the de-
mand regulates the price of most
things. Massachusetts turns out
many young women every year who
wish to spend their lives in teaching
and there is, moreover. not the fire.
quent change of teachers which Is to
be found in some communities.
And yet it is profound fact that
teacher in small school who is earn
ing only $500 year-for $3.50 is the
average amount and there must be
many salaries much smaller than that
may really be doing better teach
ing than some one who draws $4,000.

County Judge ]. W. Maloney is at
tracing attention over the state by
his policy Of re-
Judge Maloney fusing to consider
And The app cations Of
Widows Pension. widows for PEN
sions when made
through the medium of an attorney.
II is not the intention Of the Judge
TO deprive lawyers of legitimate fees
but he does propose to save needy
women from paying for legal ser
vices entirely unnecessary. His pol
icy is one that should be adopted
throughout the state If the purpose
of the new law is to be fulfilled.
Commenting editorially, the oregon
Journal has the following to say:
Judge Maloney of Umatilla county
has ruled that widows with children
who wish to take advantage of the
widows pension law must make ap-
plication in person and not through
lawyers. Judge Maloney proposes 10
save attorneys fees to the widows
and at the same time avail himself of
opportunity to better judge the merits
OF individual cases.
IF at any time there should be a
case where it is impossible for the
mother of children to make personal
application for her pension, special
agent will be sent to see her and as
certain the facts about her case.
Judge Maloney's ruling is in line
with the purpose of beneficient laws.
A court that dispenses justice may
require the assistance of lawyers to
locate justice, but too often lawyers
are a hindrance rather than a help.
II Judge Maloney is willing to con-
tribute his time and energy in be-
half of worthy widows, Intervention
of middlemen is unnecessary and
wasteful.
The widows pension law was not
enacted to provide fees for lawyers.
An unnecessary fee taken from
widows pocket is defeat of the laws
purpose.
Diversion of any portion Of a
widows pension from the widows
support is rank robbery Of public
beneficence."

Forced out of its conservatism by
the wide and rapid growth OF the new
labor movement known as Industrial
ism or Syndicalism. the American
Federation Of Labor has announced
its determination to engage in "a ma

organizing all the unorganized work
ers. and to enroll immigrants as soon
as they land In this country" To ac-
complish this, the federation will dis
tribute 100000 pamphlets, printed in

o, shortly after the canal is opened,

United states will go through the ca
nal direct to the coast and thus the

for they say for oregon ana Wash
ington that the lands of California. for
instance, are too high in price for the
Immigrants and are pretty well work
ed and devoted to special crops any
way.
This claim or hope is fortified by
the belief that immigrants will be
able TO reach the Columbia river coun-
try at a smaller cost than would be
required to reach the prairie states
l. is even contended by some that the
floods of immigrants, with their car
pet bags and bundles and sometimes
with their little trunks on their
shoulders, will rapidly disappear from
our metropolis and from the tourist
sieepers creeping westward to Chi
cago and then out over the plains"

Statistics compiled by Superintend-

tilla reservation show that So per cent
of the allottees of the Umatilla tribe
are dead, Sc per cent of the Cayuse
allottees and but 40 per cent of the
Walla Wallas. All of the Umatilla
and Cayuse allottees were full hoods
while 60 per cent of the Walla Wallas
were mixed bloods. 1t would seem
that the mingling of white and red
blood has produced sturdier race.

Local anglers will rejoice in the
announcement that they may fish
within the boundaries of the Umatilla

all except those few who have a poor
enough claim to common rights to
say nothing of special privileges.
