looked rustic and stupid. On an av-
erage, though he had fair intelligence,
and no end of capacity for the days
work.
He was not very ambitious, but was
gifted with philosophical tempera-
ment. He and the hired girl ate at
the first and only table with the fam
lily; the food was good and abundant.
He was sure of his future. AS he
spent little for clothes, and nothing
for amusement, he usually had fair
savings bank account. A farmer was
remarking the other day that this type
is about extinct. Instead, he now has
to depend on rowing young fellows.
At the best they look at farm work
as mere stepping stone to something
else. AT the worst they want to earn
money for extravagant spending. Last
summer he had a young man who left
him with 500 in the bank. A month
later he came back and asked for
work again, saying that his money
had all been spent.
In many localities foreign-speaking
help is all that can be had. If you
send them for rake they get monk
ey wrench. Those that have much
intelligence usually prefer to buy a
little land on mortgage and be their
own boss. Also they prefer to re-
main i'll the company of their own
people. One is rarely contented un-
less there are others speaking the
same tongue near by.-Fort Wayne

FIRST WOMAN-TAUGHT SCHOOL
Was on Banks Of La Creole in the
Late Forties.

The Oregonian: Emulating the ac-
complishments of her ancestors, Miss
Winifred Dixie Curry, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. George L. Curry, of
this city, has taken up teaching as
her life work. Miss Curry was a
member of the 1914 class of Jefferson
High school, graduating with high
honors from teachers course. She
expects to attend a higher institution
of learning, where she will complete
her studies.
Mrs. Curry's grandmother, Chloe
Boone Curry, crossed the plains in
1916 and established the first Ameri-
can school to be taught by. woman
west of the Rocky mountains. This
school was located on the banks of
the La Creole river in Polk county.
Chloe Boone Curry was a great-great-
granddaughter of Daniel Boone. She
made the trip across the plains to
follow the trail of her ancestors, par
ticularly that of Chloe Boone Curry.
She gives this as her reason for study
ing to be teacher. Her grandfath-
er. George L. Curry, also was an early
day pioneer of Oregon, being Gov
ernor of this state in 1853-54 and
again from 1855 to 1859.
Comparison of the log school in
which Chloe Boone taught with the
6S-room jefferson High
school. in which Miss Curry received
her advanced education, indicates the
rapid growth of school education in
Oregon.

THOS. EDWARD GREEN'S
CHAUTAUQUA ADDRESS.

1.-THE Burden of the Ma
tions," at the recent chautau-
qua, probably attracted more
attention than any other plat
form effort during that week.
It was a most scholarly effort,
and the facts and figures were
comprehensively given. The
address was originally deliver
ed at the fourth National
Peace Congress at st. Louis
a year ago, and had been re-
vised and enlarged by The
American Peace Society, whose
headquarters are at Washing
ton.
At the time Mr.. Green de-
livered his interesting and in
structive address here, The
Observer published a brief
synopsis thereof. So great
was the demand for this in
complete speech that all ex-
ira copies were soon exhausted.
1t is now the purpose of The
Observer to print the entire
address, supplied it by the
American Peace Society, and
therefore 1.-The Burden of
the Nations will appear in
it's entirety next Friday. Those
who desire extra copies of
The Observer of that date
will please advise this office
beforehand.

GOOD ROADS IN IRELAND.
improvements Made In Order to At
tract Automobile Tourists.

tract Automobile Tourists.
Ireland is awakening to the necessity
Of putting her roads in order for Amer
lean and other automobilists whom she
wishes to attract as tourists. Irish
roads until recently were notoriously
bad. and In many parts Of the country
they still deserve that reputation, says
the Brooklyn Eagle. The chief reason
for this condition of affairs is financial
The roads are maintained by local
bodies which have never very much
money to spend and very often are al
most unduly economical.
Yet there IL large sum Of money
actually allotted for this purpose by the
government. most of which has not
been spent. Since its establishment in
1910 the road board has been granted
$1,2OO.OO0 to spend in Ireland, but Of
this sum only $450.OO0 has actually
been distributed. The reason for this
strange state of affairs lies in the sys-
TEN Of divided control over main roads.
As a result the road board finds that
1t is hampered in its work by having
to deal with a large number of small
local bodies instead of with the county
councils alone. as In England
A movement has now been set OF
foot by the automobile association and
the motor union to effect an improve
ment In this direction. Their sugges-
tion is that the main roads should be
taken away from the control of the
smaller bodies and put under the coun-
ty councils. The consent of parlia-
ment would Of course. be necessary to
the change. hut there seems to be no
reason why 1t should not be easily OBJ
tanned.
