The director said that he did not

that incident he received five appli.

that part Of the proceeds were to go

that the persons des!rous of giving

CUCKOOS AND CUCKOOS

IA ORTLAND papers need
- not concern themselves
too much about whether
the East 0regonian is a cuckoo
and whether the cuckoo is a
desirable bird.
If those papers will turn the
spotlight upon themselves they
will find excellent opportunity
to study the subject at closer
quarters. The theory that all
journalistic greatness origi-
mates in Portland is founded on
conceit, not facts.
Most of the good causes that
have succeeded in Oregon have
been championed by the East
Oregonian, before their success,
not afterwards. Some of these
moves were advocated by this
paper before the Journal came
into existence. Some since that
time. Wherever the Journal
has followed the lead of the
East OregOnian it has generally
been right. If it would follow
closer on certain subjects and
with more speed it could be-
come a still greater newspaper.
1t might lose money by the pro-
cess and again it might make
more.
AS to the Portland Oregoni-
an it could be called the great
est cuckoo in the state. 1t now
echoes sentiments expressed by
this newspaper 10 years ago
and longer. 1t has been a fol-
lower at all times, never lead
er. 1t never comes to the bat
until the game is won and there
is nothing left but the shout
ing. 1t is a trailer, not a guide.
1t never initiated a worthy
movement in its life and if If
should try something of that
sort it would have the cramps.
The Oregonian's favorite role
is as bootwiper for special priv
ilege. It defends the existing
order regardless Of what
thievery may be underway. 1t
has never lifted hand to pro-
mote the real progress of Ore
gon, socially, politically or in
dustrially. 1t comes on the job
after the work is all done. 1t
is a cuckoo Of rather slow gear
but a cuckoo just the same. If
the point is not clear to them
they should use a gimlet.

IN PREPARATION FOR LIFE
TOLLOWING closely upon

~ n a. Wy

TOLLOWING closely upon
the steps of other public
- men, DIR. Charles A. Wag.
ner, state commissioner of edu-
cation of Delaware, has given
his views as to the possibilities
of adopting system of indus
trial education in Wilmington.
without waiting for unani-
nous consent" said DR.. Wag-
ner, every city and town COM
munity must take some action
in this matter of teaching stu
dents that prepare for voca-
tons. The facts positively de-
mand it.
What are the facts? In
New York city alone, | know
positively that approximately
10000 boys between the ages
of Ia and 16 are in occupations
in which they can never earn
more than 50 or $40 a week !;
that is, without education that
has vocational accompani-
ments. Boys and girls leave
school and take the first Job
that offers, to find themselves
in a blind alley, a pathway to
despair, before they ever reach
maturity.
Another fact: 85 out of
every 100 children receive lit
tie or no education after the
fifth or sixth school grade. Sta
tistics prove that this percent
age is about right. They drop
out of school to go to work
and thereafter stop almost all
mental development. They
may be able to read and write,
but taste, appreciation, enjoy
ment of the distinctly human,
the mental and intellectual
pleasures is never reached. We
have SO many children in Della
ware who must be in such a
short time confronted with the
necessity of earning their daily
bread that it seems a great pity
that something cannot be done
better to prepare them for life's
struggle than merely teaching
reading, writing and arithme-
tic. am quite sure that if the
subject is approached from the
proper angle those in charge of
the education of our children
and those charged with the
making Of laws governing edu-
cation cannot help seeing the
tremendous necessity for the
introduction of industrial edu-
cation into our school system.
~S-S~O>~~~
New laws to the extent of
$50 or more have just gone in
to effect in Oregon. These
measures did not carry the en-
ergency clause and hence had
to wait 80 days before becom-
ing effective. Most people
think our legislative law fac
tory overdid the job. But in
California a total of 2877 bills
were introduced during the ses-
sion and a total of 969 were en-
acted into law.

Influence of the "Grsat Circle" on the
Journey to Manila.
II you wanted to go from the Pana-
ma canal to Yokohama which of these
two would be the shorter route? First,
across the ocean to Hawaii and from
there to Yokohama, or, second, up
along the coast to San Francisco and
then directly across the Pacific to Asia
Nearly everybody would answer in
favor of the Hawaiian route. But the
navigators tell us the journey is 266
miles shorter by way of San Francisco.
The great circle" does 1t. Its infiu-
ence on distance sends ships from San
Francisco to Manila by way Of the
Aleutian islands. Actually our vessels
would go much farther north than they
do but for the encouragement of the
United States photographic bureau at
Washington, which advises a central
route, more than 200 miles longer than
the great circle, in order to escape the
fogs and ice of the far north.
The Hawaiian Islands are frequently
described as "the crossroads Of the Pa
cific." Their people are naturally look
ing forward to wonderful commercial
development. They will doubtless en-
joy substantial progress as a CONNER
cial center because many conditions in
ocean currents and in prevailing winds
and In fuel costs favor Honolulu as
way station route. But it is well to re-
member that these islands were plant
ed a little too near the equator to be

A CRUSH OF WORLDS.
How Our Solar System May End and
New One Be Born.

How Our Solar System May End and
New One Be Born.
The whole OF the present solar sys-
tenn Is ultimately to fall into the sun,
causing an explosion that may result
In a new solar system. Such is the
theory put forward by Professor Philip
Fauth, a well known astronomer,
whose reputation has rested principally
upon his researches into the conditions
on the moon.
The novel feature OF DIR. Fauth's the
DRY is that IL Is based upon the suppo-
sition that a great part OF the known
solar system. including especially the
planets Jupiter, Uranus and Saturn, are
not composed Of mineral matter at all,
but are tremendous masses Of Ice or
balls OF ice surrounding a mineral kerr
nell Furthermore. he declares, part
Of what is now known as the MILKY
way Is not mineral or gaseous, but "a
ring Of ice dust" masses OF particles
of ice suspended in space. the other
planets receiving constant addition
to their Ice mass from this source.
Professor Fauth declares that the
world already at some remote periods
has had similar experience, resulting
in the death OF nearly all animate ma
ture, and that all species of life as we
know it have arisen since then. Even
tually the planets swinging through
their narrow orbits will fall into the
sun, causing u new explosion and per
haps the birth of a new solar system,
but for thousands of years before that
time, all life. either on earth or else
where, will have disappeared.-Kansas

And the result of this scheme of

gain, and a big one, for the railroad,
but the men profited even more. There

Feat of a Cat.

There is nothing especially striking
about the feet of a cat except it's abil-
ity always to land on them. Hold a
young cat by it's feet short distance
from the ground for a few seconds and
then let go. The cats back, being
heavier than it's feet, should strike the
ground first. But it doesn't. Just as
the cat is being let go it gives quick
upward thrust with its chest, and as
the feet are freed they swing under
it SO it lands on them. In the case of
the young cat that has never expert
enced this before it doesn't know that
it is going to be dropped. If it were
long drop there would be time to think,
but in the short drop the cat must
act. and act Immediately. In fact. it
is really forehanded. The natural con-
clusion, then, is that this faculty in the
cat is located in its feet. 1t is inherent
in them.-Atlanta Constitution.
