College Course Popular

More pupils are preparing for
college each year as shown by the
11S students in the College Pre-
paratory course, compared to the
50 in the Industrial 80 in the Nor
NAL Training and the 81 in the
Commercial course. The total num-
Der of students in the high school
including four who are taking post
graduate work, is 316.
Not only are there more students
in the College Preparatory work
but these students stay throughout
the four years while the other
courses, particularly the Industrial,
drop many students after the first
two years.

WOMEN IN DIPLOMATIC
LIFE

N FTER the war began Eng
II lish SuffragetteS dropped
their militant methods and
turned their attention to aiding
their government in carrying
on its titanic struggle.
For this course they are in
line to gain more for their own
cause than they gained by mi
litancy, if a recent diplomatic
appointment carries the mean
ing it seems to have.
Miss PreSSly Smith has been
appointed secretary of the
British legation in Norway. 1t
is a post of extreme import
ance and the appointment of a
woman to the place is an unu-
Sual recognition of the sex.
How unusual may be seen when
it is said that even the United
States, where suffrage pre-
pals in many states, has no fe-
male legation secretaries in
any country.
England has found its wo-
men valiant helpers in the war
and in Miss Smith will quite
likely find that wOmanhood is
no bar to good work in the di-
plomatic service.
In passing it may be re-
marked that had all European
nations allowed women a voice
in diplomatic proceedings prior
to the war there would have
been no war.

~ NE by one the dire predi-
W ctions made as to what
would happen under the
Wilson administration have
gone glimmering.
1t was a favorite theme of
leather lunged orators that
hard times would ensue; but
under this democratic admin
istration the country enjoys
unparalleled prosperity.
The price of wool would de-
cline under free trade and the
sheep business would be ruin
ed; but the price of wool un-
der a free wool tariff has gone
to the highest point in history.
The tariff problem would be
bungled and our industries laid
open to ruinous foreign COM
petition, it was claimed; but
the tariff has not and is not be-
ing bungled. The administra-
ton is providing a non-parti-
san tariff commission, to seek
out facts and guide congress
in a scientific handling Of the
subject. The federal trades
commission will have power to

wares upon our market.

Oregon needs another normal
Is because Monmouth is a small
town with a small grade pupil
enrolment To start another
normal in another small town
thus inviting the same diff
Guilty would be ridiculous.
Oregon has passed through
the little town normal stage
and finding such schools un-
satisfactory has wiped them off
the slate-with the exception
of the Monmouth school.
The reconstruction period is
now at hand and the Pendle-
ton measure offers a sane and
meritorious solution of the
problem.

WHY WESTON is ELIMI-
MATED

n F eastern Oregon obtains
a normal school it is 60
ing to be established in
one of the large towns, having
an adequate number of pupils
for practice teaching needs,
good transportation facilities
and community accommOda-
tons suitable for such an insti-
tuition.
The normal school at Weston
will never be revived, nor will
Oregon ever again establish
such school in any small
place. The best educational
authorities are strongly against
locating normals in small
towns. The chief reason is the
lack of sufficient pupils for
practice teaching.
For instance at Monmouth
this year there were 163 men,
bers Of the normal graduating
class. In the public schools at
Monmouth only $50 grade pu-
pills are enrolled. Hence there
were less pupils for the train
ing school than there were nor
NAL seniors to teach them. The
students were enabled to teach
but a half a day once a week
whereas the requirement sug-
gested by the United States bu-
reau of education is one halt
day each day for a long peri
cd. The bureau Of education
insists that for a class such as
Monmouth had this year there
should be from 500 to 700
grade pupils for the practice
teaching work. The number
of grade pupils at Weston dur
ing 1876 was l79, or about
one third the number neces-
sary to serve d class such as
Monmouth graduated this
year.
These facts may not be
known to some people but
they are understood by the
5000 teachers in Oregon.
They are understood by the
state superintendent, the board
of normal regents and all other
men in close touch with affairs
In consequence those people
are a unit in urging that a
normal for eastern Oregon be
established in Pendleton. They
do not suggest the Weston
school be reopened. In Pen
dleton last fall the teachers Of
Umatilla. Morrow, Wheeler
end Gillian counties passed a
resolution unknown to local
businessmen and without sug-
gestion from them advising
that normal school be estab-
lished here.

Dublin, May 14.lThe great modif.
cation In the regulations of martial
law gave the people Of Dublin today
freedom of movement, strongly con.
trasting with the restrictions imposed
since the rebellion. All may now come
and go as they wish between the
hours of in the morning and mid
night. During the remaining four
hours they must keep within doors.
It is generally understood that Pre-
mier Asqufth is responsible for this
relaxation. The premier's study Of
conditions and the sentiments Of the
people apparently convinced him that
there was no great element OF rebel
HouS spirit remaining.
What Asquith Is Doing.
Mr. Asquith's chief occupation since
his arrival in Dublin has consisted in
seeking method for the adjustment
of the Irish crisis and in ascertaining
whether it would be advisable to re-
turn to the former system of govern
ment or to adopt a change OF rule
| more in accordance with the wishes Of
| the people. The premier has also
given some attention to minor factors,
these having to do with the disposal
of the remaining rebel prisoners and
compensation for the material dam
age done in Dublin.
Neither Of these questions has yet
| been solved, but Mr.. Asquith had an
opportunity to see and question a
number of rebels in the detention BAR
racks and today again visited the ruins
of the buildings destroyed in various
sections Of the city. The information
he thus obtained may be Of great SER
vice to him when the subject is
brought before the cabinet on his re-
/ turn to London, which Is expected at
an early date.
Future Government.
Nationalist and Unicnist circles are
animatedly discussing tentative sng-
gestions respecting the future govern
ment Of the country, with hope but
without certainty, that change fol
the better viii be brought about. Mr.
Asqutth's present here has lent colol
to the belief that the prime minister
had some project in mind and that his
study Of conditions on the spot would
help him formulate a definite plan tc
place before parliament.
! Armed Volunteers.
The view widely prevails that Mr.
Asquith will propose to incorporate the
Nationalist and Unionist forces OF
armed volunteers into the auxiliary
| troops of the imperial army and thus

avoid the admittedly perilous problem
Of disarming everybody in Ireland not
belonging to the recognized military
organizations. AT the same time, the
opinion grows apace In favor Of q real
Irish executive council formed of Irish-|
men, entirely conversant with the pso-
pie and their aspirations and needs.
Concessions Of Extremists.
All the newspapers whatever theirl
politics, express the desire that the.
best should be made out Of the situa-
ton and call for concessions by the.
extremists of both sides, who they de-
clare, do not represent the true feels
ings of the Irish people.
Anxious TO Settle Differences.
The vast majority Of Irishmen, IA
conyersing on the present position.
avoid any wild talk and appear anxious
to appease the differences existing be-
tween the various parties by agreslng
on any plan which offers a fair chance
of a stable government in which al
could have confidence.
Deep Sorrow Prevails.
Deep sorrow prevails among xha
people OF Dublin. many Of whom lost
relatives either among the rebels or
troops during the fighting or among
the civilians who suffered death from
stray shots. Many reports are current
concerning the alleged harshness Of
the troops, but so far as can be learn
ed these appear to have arised from
exaggerated stories passing from
mouth to mouth.

crews Of the Appam, the British pas
senger steamer brought here by q
German prize crew and several other
foreign vessels. A few minutes later
the Mayhower weighed anchor and
steamed away for Washington, pass
ing several battIeships in Hampton

PURCHASED POISON
PRIOR TO HUSBANDS DEATH
Rumored That Mrs. GiIIisan's Hue-
bands Body is to be EShumed.

Hartford. Conn, May 15.-Import-
ant developments in the investigation
into number Of alleged suspicious
deaths at the Archer Home for Elder
ly People at Windsor are expected
within a week, it was learned tonight
Just what these developments would
be could not be learned from any Of
fetal source, as the authorities still
maintain their attitude Of secrecy.
1t has been learned, however, from
q. reliable source, that the police in
days before Michael w. Gilligan ored,
in February, 1914, his wife, who is
charged with numbering one of the in
mates of the home, purchased ten
ounces of poison at a Windsor drug
store. The poison is said to have been
| the same kind that is alleged to have
caused the death of Franklin r. An
drews, with whose murder Mrs. Arch
Gilligan is specifically charged.
The police would not comment on 9
/ widespread dumor that Mr.. Gilligan's
/ body had been ordered exhumed and
/ an autopsy performed. Neither would
| they discuss rumors that number OF
bodies would be exhumed in Connecti-
/ cut cemeteries.
Tho state police had another active
day today in their search for addi-
tional evidence to support their claim
that a number of persons at the home
had met with violent death.
1t was said here today that counsel
for Mrs. Archer -Gilligan had engaged
detectives to work on the case and
that the detectives were working al
day in Windsor.
The accused woman spent a quiet
| day in Jail and had no visitors.
