Physical Culture
Urged for Children

What shall we do for our chill
dren during vacation? This Is a
question which the city. the churches
and the homes usually fail to ask and
to answer intelligently at the begin
ming of the long vacation. In our
large cities the institutional church
es, the ministerial associations and
child welfare organizations have
sought to counteract the evil of the
long vacation by providing play
grounds with supervisors, by provid-
ing daily vacation Bible schools, and
by providing for extended outings in
the country. What has Ashland done
along these lines?
The Chautauqua has conferred a
great and lasting benefit on our chill
dren. Led by Professor Larimore,
the children have been given sugges-
tions that will help to make them
physically. They nave been taught
lessons in team work. They have
had a grand time playing without the
usual quarreling. Some have learned
to swim, and may thus some day be
able TO save their lives or others.
Our girls have learned to whistle, and
the boys were actually led into sing
ing. And perhaps more than we
think all have been led nearer to the
way of their Creator.
Now why should this good work
be limited TO nine days of the year?
1t will not be. Prof. Larimore has
left his dumb-bells, Indian clubs
trapeze, rings and horizontal bar with
Mr.. Blackstone of the Baptist church.
These will be used in the basement
of the church From now on to the
end of vacation, classes will be held
for the boys and girls of Ashland.
We shall secure the best leaders that
we can. Glasses for girls will be
held on Wednesdays and Fridays be-
tween the hours Of ten and twelve.
The boys will meet on Tuesdays and
Thursdays at the same hours. Boys
and girls must come on time. There
will be no fee, unless we buy more
equipment, in which case each pupil
would be asked to have small part.
Our daily program will be as varied
as we are able to make 1t. Calls
themes, drills, marching, singing,
storytelling and practical talks will
be the order of the day All will be
dominated by the Christian spirit.
This issS not denominational
move. The Baptists believe that
there is something bigger than the
Baptist church-the Kingdom of God.
In the interests of the kingdom and
of the boys and girls of Ashland we
inaugurate this movement. We in
vite you to send your children to take
advantage of this opportunity. We
may have to call on the entire city
to help in this work. We hope so.
II you would like to see or help, come
to the church any morning from ten
to twelve. -

Russia is Ready
To Aid SerVia

London, July 3O.-The st. Peters
burg correspondent of the Morning
Post says he Is in a position to state
positively that the momene the Aus
trians cross the Servian frontier Rus
sian mobilization orders will be pub
lished, and Russia will take the field
with all consequences involved in
such action. The correspondent adds:
"As matter of fact, Russia took
preliminary steps at mobilization the
moment the council of ministers de-
cided on July "a that Servia's sover-
eign states must be protected at all
costs"
The Daily Express gives promi-
nence to an uncomfortable rumor that
Baron Won Greissinger, the German
minister at Belgrade, has been assas-
sinated, Recent kilograms stated
that the minister, accompanied By
other foreign ENJOYS, went to Nish on
July 25.

GET 1T AT
POLE
Need of Trained
Educators Great

The last five years has seen a
marked civic revival. 1t is spreading
and every village and hamlet is feel
ing the touch, as well as the great
cities. AS earnest men and women
study the problem they realize the
kernel of the situation lies in the
rural districts. Here lies the balance
of power; here the people must be
trained to meet the conditions. We
must not change our representative
form of government if we would
achieve the results we seek, but we
must educate the men and women
of the farms to meet their immense
responsibilities. 1t will take money
and it will take self-sacrifice, but the
people will respond to the demands
made upon them.
We must follow the methods of
nature. We cannot create intellect
but we can supply the environment
and the right conditions that will
train it into efficiency and ennoble
it. The greatest factor of all is the
teacher. "A log, with Johns Hopkins
at one end and the student at the
other, may be university" as has
been so aptly said. Teachers of to-
day are earnest and desire as greatly
to give the best there is in them as
equipment must be greater than ever
before. Nature must supply the tact
and the quality of mind and heart
for an ideal teacher; nurture must
make these qualities effective.
knowledge without power of express
sion is of little value to the world
1t must have wing-the teacher must
be taught how to teach. He may
learn by years of experience, but
what parent is willing that his child
should be the teacher? Tuition
comes too high when paid out of the
mind, heart and soul of our children.
Let us profit by the mistakes and
successes of those who have gone be-
iOiS' "hN a man "OLluh
highly resolves to consecrate his life
to the exalted profession of teaching,
the state should put into his hands
the key that unlocks the great store
house of experience. This calls for
normal schools.
Few persons realize how absolutely
the normal school holds the key to
the situation respecting the develop
ment and efficiency of the great pub
lis school system. The trained teach
er, the person who has been taught
how to handle the plastic material
put in his charge, the person who has
been trained to mould the child dur
ing its most impressionable years,
therein lies the secret of the success
or failure of the whole fabric. Why
waste the taxpayers money in schools
doing only half the good they should?
Economy means obtaining efficient
service, and that is impossible with
out the trained teacher.
No one thing before the people of
the state of Oregon today comes near
er their real lives, their most vital
interests, than the question of nor
NAL schools for the proper training
of the teachers into whose hands they
place their children.

PMe Blood
Cattle for Herd

A shipment of forty-two fine pedi-
greed Herefords came into the Ash
land railroad yards Tuesday evening
from Salem, where they were pur-
chased recently by Benton Bowers
and sons. We are informed they are
the property OF Ben and Jim Bowers,
who will go into the pedigreed cattle
business on the Bowers ranch across
Bear creek.
Twenty-eight cars of cattle aggre-
eating over seven hundred head spent
Tuesday night In the Southern Pa
cific stockyards at Ashland They
were en- route from Chico California
to the Fry-Bruhn Company at Seattle
and were unloaded here for feed and
water and rest. They went north
Wednesday morning.
Seven thousand, three hundred and
nineteen former residents OF Idaho
were in Ashland from Sunday after
noon until noon Monday-being un-
loaded from twenty-seven double
deck sheep cars for feed and water
and inspection before being shipped
into California.

Finds Mt. LaSSen
Crater a Blk

Our conclusion that climb to the
top OF Mount Lassen Is too big price
to pay for what you see after getting
there was not formed at the base of
the mountain, but at the peak, says
the editor of the Red Bluff News. We
have climbed it. The foolishness of
the venture came creeping over us
when about half way up; it burst
upon US with terrible vividness when
We got our first glimpse of the hole.
One cannot look at the crater, or
around the top of the peak, without
feeling that the old mountain has
been charged with a great many
things that it never did. Certainly
it has never lived up to its reputa-
ton and gives no justification for the
warnings that have been issued at
sundry and divers times to keep miles
away from it. At the rate of damage
the explosions have 30 far wrought II
will be many years before the people
as far up as the timber line need
have any apprehension for their SAT-
ETY.. This conclusion, of course, is
based on what has already happened,
and not on what may happen. Most
newspaper reports concerning the
eruptions have been founded on OBJ
servations taken at long range, and
the longer the range the more thrill
ing the account. 1t was New York
city that reported 10000 people
killed in Red Bluff on the day that
towns around the base of the noun
tain failed to note the eruption at all.
OF course, Lassen may become great
volcano some day, but so far it is a
tame affair.

French Ready;
Officials on Guard

Paris, July 30.-The French gov
ernment and people appear to be
quietly preparing for war. The gov
ernment is simply awaiting the de-
cision of Russia.
Troop trains are ready and repre-
sentatives of the army are on duty
in the telegraph, telephone and post
offices. Large posters on the bulle-
tin boards in the postofflces, city
halls and other public buildings will
apprise the soldier citizen of exactly
the hour when his instructions be-
come effective.
The cabinet met late this after
noon and received the reports from
ministers. If any decisions were
reached they have been kept closely
guarded. Abel Ferry, under secre-
tary OF foreign affairs, who took part
in the cabinet council, is on his way
to Dunkirk tonight to meet President
Poincare and Premier Viviani, who
will arrive there at dawn.
According to what is believed to
be responsible opinion, there remains
the possibility that when Austria has
occupied some Servian territory she
will in day or two announce her
intention not to proceed farther, but
to hold what she has taken until Ser
via gives competent guarantee that
she will observe Austria's wishes.

SAYS BEST SPENDER
IS WORKMAN'S WIFE
Suffragist Hence Draws Moral
That Women Should Handle
Nations Cash, Too.

London. April 25.-That the working
class wife is more efficient spender OF
the household accounts than her middle
class sister was the contention of Miss
Lucy Yates at a recent meeting OF the
Women's Freedom League. She declared
that the principle Of a woman having
complete control of the house was always
recognized by the working classes, but
higher in society there came sort OF
dual control. Through this responsibility
the working wife learned administration,
but by leaning on some one else the mid
die class wife never learned.
The wife, Miss Yates said. should have
complete control Of the whole of the
money set aside for household expenses
Including housekeeping, dress and educa-
ton. There should be no audit OF her &C
counts unless by her request She should
be provided with a checkbook, as more
likely TO prove successful than the pro-
vision of loose coins. which might ne
catoled out Of her purse by tempting
bargains.
The speaker declared that spending was
2 finer art and much more difficult than
earning. Women should also choose the
house. and IL was high time, according
TO Miss Yates, that the women took over
the spending Of the money for the nauon'
