House Has a
Noble Bunch
of Farmers
HORNY HANDED SONS OF TOLL OF
MULTNOMAH LORD 1T OVER THE
RURAL MEMBERS-SOME LEGIS.
LATIVE GIGLETS.

One of the oldest sights of the legis-
lature is to witness the Multnomah
delegation, those horny handed sons
of toll, butting in on legislation on
good roads and other matters of vital
importance to the rural and agricul-
tural districts; actually taking the
lead in the debates on such bills and
setting themselves up as agricultural
authorities in general, Raw, raw, raw.
And yet these dozen horny handed,
and headed Portlanders cut a big
swath on such matters with their votes
no matetr If their talk only puts heated
oxygen in the atmosphere. In fact,
their dozen votes usually decide the
fate of bill
Why, probably not one of them could
tell whiffle tree from noble oak;
bunch of alfalfa from a growing sage
brush; or a gentleman COW from one
that produces milk. Noble toilers by
the sweat of their brows, these gentle
men, several of whom took the lead In
getting the bill passed over the gover-
nor's veto, which compels all farmers
with land abutting on public highways
to keep such roads clear Of weeds and
this ties. Olson, Upton, Macarthur and
Latourette, lawyers; Abbott, job print
er; Nolta, real estate dealer; Spencer,
civil engineer, Lawrence, printer;
Murnane, stationary engineer; Car
pentor, private detective, and so on,
One wonders why the house men,
bers from the rural districts don't
combine and smite these Multnomah
Overall Boys, who know not tho differ
ence between metropolitan street
sweeper and a rural road scraper,
from off the face of the earth. Why
don't they? One big reason is that
tho rural district members are not
promo to combine in close organization
for the rural good, and another big
reason Is that each rural member fears
to incur their ire. He wants the or
ganization support for some Of his
own pct measures.
Meanwhile It is a sight that ticltles
the gods.
Last week when the legislature ac-
cepted Rogue River apples and pears
from the Medford Commercial club
and ate them with much relish, 1t little
rocked of the evil results that would
follow with the letting down Of the

What chance would criminals con-

noon, during the debate on the steril-
lzation bill. mo more, no not as
much as a yellow cur.
81 discovered yesterday while visit
ing the penitenuary that the criminals
confined there wear rags for socks and
underwear. They have to. Why, they
have had no change of underwear for
IS months. They bathe and then have
to put on the same old underwear,
those that have rags that can be
called that. Why, many Of these men
are almost shoeless, work on the roads
with feet wrapped in rags.
Fine way for the great state of
Oregon to treat its confined criminals
because Of the lack of sunlclent money
appropriated to supply their absolute
ly necessary needs. Shame! Why
out there, by reason of our laws, these
men are treated worse than beasts.
ITS not the fault of the penitentiary
officials or the governor. The legisla-
ture and the people are to blame. So

tentiary criminal have in an appeal 10

and the superintendent Of the institu-

Grated on surgically."
Mr.. Mitchells address, which was
delivered with fire, electrified the
house and presaged such long debate
that motion to adjourn and take up
the bill again at 1870 this afternoon
quickly prevailed. There is wide diff
ference of opinion as to the justice and
wisdom Of passing such law.
The bill provides for the steriliza-
ton of habitual criminals, moral de-
generates and sexual perverts who
may be found in state institutions. II
the superintendent Of such an instltu-
tion discovers such a case he is to re-

[ he Needs
Of Asylum
Are MANY
Legislative Committees Find
Branch Asylum at Pendle'
ton Shy Of Milk, Eggs and
NearlyAII Other Fresh Food

The $50 patients and so officers and
attendants at the new state insane asy-
Aum, at Pendleton, are living on con-
.densed milk, and there is also woe
aul lack Of fresh eggs and butter,
Even the so Ill and bedridden patients
are being given the condensed milk.
IN fact the entire asylum population Is
virtually camping out.
This is the report brought back by
the joint legislative committee, which
inspected the new institution Satur-
day and Sunday and which returned
to Salem this morning. Their trip was
to look into the needs Of the asylum,
which was only recently opened, in the
way Of equipment and appropriation.
There is a woeful lack Of necessary
furniture and other equipment, which
the legislature is expected to remedy.
There is no barn, no dairy herd, no
hennery. The grounds are badly lit
tered up with rubbish, and there are
various other faults. The sudden adj
dition Of 400 or more to Pendletons
population has made 1t somewhat diff
ficult TO get proper fresh food sup
plies, members of the Joint committee
say.
In general, however, the committee
was favorably impressed with the big
institution and its modern arrange
ments. The buildings are Of rein
forced concrete, and practically inde-
structible.
While the joint committeeman have
mot yet considered what appropriations
they will recommend to supply the
institutions needs, one thing sure that
they will recommend the establish
ment of herd Of milk cows. Super
intendent McNary, Of the institution
will be here Tuesday, and the joint
committee will take up the matter Of
appropriations ip detail.
One thing that Superintendent Nc.
Nary will ask for is an appropriation
for a new wing to the institution
which is already filled to normal ca.
pacity. There is only room for %
more patients. 1t was understood
however, that the majority Of the CON-
mittee are not in favor of building
the wing, but think that the institu-
ton should go along without 1t fol-
several years, even if the asylum has
to be badly crowded.
The committeeman, who were ban.
quoted at Pendleton on Saturday
night, travelled to that city and back
in a special car attached to regular
trains. In the legislative party were;

ILLITERACY AND THE
COUNTRY SCHOOL
1t Is Not immigration but Lack Of Edu-
cational Opportunities That Is
Responsible for the Former.

Not immigration. but the lack of edu
cational opportunities in rural districts
is chiefly responsible for the relatively
high rate of illiteracy in the United
States, according to bulletin by A. C.
Monahan of the bureau of education
1.-THE rate OF rural illiteraey is twice the
urban rate, despite the fact that approx
imately three -fourths of the immigrants
are in the cities. Still more significant
is comparison between children born
in this country of foreign parents with
those born OF native parents. THE IL
literacy among native-born children OF
native parentage is more than three
times as great as among native children
of foreign parentage," says Mr.. Mona
han, 'largely on account of the lack of
opportunities for education in rural
America
The bulletin is of special value at this
time because it is brief, clear, nom
sensational statement of the rural
school problem. 1t does not attempt to
gloss over unpleasant facts. 1t gives
| full recognition to the positive advance
that has been made in many rural dis
tricts, and to Improvements now under
way, but in general finds conditions far
from satisfactory.
Among other things, Mr.. Monahan
finds 100000 one-teacher schoolhouses in
the United States, of which 5000 are
log buildings still in active use. AL
though more than 60 per cent of the
children in the United States are enroll
ed in country schools, the rural aggre
gate attendance is only 81 per cent. The
school buildings and grounds in most
country districts are in a condition that
is only approached by ''homes of the
most shiftless residents of the district"
and the average teaching in these one
teacher schools is of very low grade.
The bulletin is illustrated with pho
tographs of good and bad rural schools
from the log schoolhouse to the consoli-
dated school,; right and wrong heating
in a country school; canning factory
and school garden connected with a
Louisiana school; and a map showing
the system of local school supervision as
it prevails in the several states. The
purpose of the map is to show how real
the need is for the kind of business like
of the country schools that
has led to such efficient results in the
city.
With the help of recent appropriations
made by congress the bureau of educa.
ton has understaken to make q careful
study Of the needs of the rural schools,
and the bulletin just issued is one of
the first definite results of the work. 1T
is in no way either complete or exhaus
tive says Commissioner Claxton, but
it is the best possible under the circum
stances and with the facilities now at
our disposal. Incomplete as it is, this
bulletin makes very valuable contri- |
button to clear understanding of the
rural schools as they actually are" The |
publication will be sent free upon APP
plication to the commissioner of educa
ton.
