student, will be able to place them to
the best advantage to all parties con-
cerned.
Suites of rooms shall be provided,
or small cottages, or tent houses, for
the use of families of married people
who enter the school. The children
of such families shall attend schools
conveniently located which shall be
part of the public school system of
the state. And all expenses of the
board of such children shall be paid
by the parents, either in cash, if they
are able, and if not, then in labor
on the same basis as their own food
is supplied.
Some of the achievements expected
of this school:
/. 1t will solve the problem of the
states unemployed, by providing
temporary homes, food and shelter
for them.
2. It will serve as the most salu-
tary prevention of crime and degen-
eracy now resulting from destitution
and starvation. In this respect alone,
it is believed, it will save the state
enough to pay for its establishment
and support.
g. 1t will not only save men and
women from crime and degeneracy,
but it will develop in its students
thus saved every latent element of
good, thus contributing vastly to a
nober future citizenship. The jails
and penitentiaries of the state will
thus be saved large percentum of
their victims.
A. 1t will provide means of edu-
cation for all young men and women
of the state whose financial circum-
stances are such as to prevent them
from attending any other school. No
one will have an excuse for his not
having a good education in the state
of Oregon.
5. 1t will provide means of edu-
cation for all adults, either young,
middle aged or old, who have hither-
to been deprived of the education
they desired. Here they can attend,
whether they have money or not, if
they are able to work few hours
a day and apply their minds to the
renewing and Quickening activities
of intellectual pursuits. 1t will save
many citizen from premature old
age, and unnecessary disease Of both
mind and body.
G. In its domestic science depart
ment it will train every young
woman in the state who wants such
training as an expert in that line, fit
ting her for the duties of the home
or for a position in service, thus
doing away with the problem Of un-
satisfactory hired help.
Many other benefits will accrue to
the people of this state from such an
institution, but they need not be
mentioned here.
The fundamental idea of this pro-
posed institution was suggested to
me by my friend, Mr.. Nils Ahlstrom,
now 81 years young.

According to Caretaker Graves of
the city dump, the city is to furnish
one barrel Of oil for each carcass
burned, in addition to one barrel a
month for garbage. Last year he
burned thirteen carcasses and one
dog. One dog is good for one-half
barrel of oil. According to Mr..
Graves contract he was supposed to
receive twelve barrels of oil a year,
and last year by careful use saved
the city eleven barrels and asked
that, in view of the small compensa-
tion which he receives, he be paid for
taht which he had saved. The re-
corder dug the contract out of the
city archives and read it, and the
matter was referred to the city attor-
ney, who will decide the matter of
whether under the contract Mr..
Graves was entitled to the surplus of
oil.

As a result of action taken by the
council, Fire Chief Robinson and
Driver Guiley will each have one day
off duty each week and a substitute
will be hired to take the place of the
absent men. 1t is understood that
the men are to take their days off
one after the other so that the SUBJ
stitute will have his two days Of
work together. Twenty-four hours
a day seven days out of the week is
irksome in the extreme, and the new
system is much appreciated by the
firemen.

Obe
Peoples Forum
Education and Economies.

Editor Tidings: Allow me to offer
the following new suggestion in edu-
cation and economics:
The state shall enact a law for the
establishment of a new school of sci
ence and practical education, to be
known as "The State School of Sci
ence and Industry"
One million dollars shall be appro-
priated from the school fund for the
establishment of this school, one-half
to be used in the purchase of suitable
lands and grounds, and one-half for
buildings and equipment
This school shall be opened for in
struction in all the departments Of
practical science and industry, and
shall be open to both sexes on equal
terms.
Students of all ages, married or
single, shall he admitted on their
application; classified, assigned to
class work, and to a definite number
of hours work on the farm, or in one
or another of the industrial depart
ments.
No money for board or tuition
shall be demanded Of any student,
but each one shall have an account
opened for him and shall be charged
a definite sum for all he receives, in
cluding board and tuition; and
clothes, also, If the student be not
able to otherwise provide himself
with suitable clothes; and he shall
receive a definite wage per hour for
all productive labor done by him.
The student Of this school shall
not be charged more than the actual
cost of what he receives, and shall be
paid the full amount of whatever his /
labor produces.
Sufficient farm lands shall be pro- |
vided for the school, and thereon
shall be raised all the farm products |
needed by the school and as much T.
more as can be profitably produced .
by student labor.
The school shall establish indus
trial departments wherein the stu
dents shall be taught scientific
of work, and these depart
ments shall aim to produce market |
able things, such as furniture, cloth
ing, etc, the sales to go toward the
support of the school.
This school shall be so managed,
as nearly as possible, that each stu
lent's personal account shall balance
n debts and credits, and thus make
he school and the students self-sup-
porting.
The several departments of this
school and those of the State Agri-
College and the State Uni
now established, shall be so
adjusted and hormonized as to avoid
I'll unnecessary Implications and to
establish harmony of action between
hem.
Rich and poor shall be admitted
o the school on an absolute equality,
Zach one working his way through,
Ill alike, and receiving the best in
the state can provide in all
he departments Of science and in
lustry which are now taught in the
pest schools and colleges of the ma
ion.
The schools facilities shall be ex-
.ended, as the need arises, so as to
provide for all who may apply for
Suitable primary and preparatory
departments shall be established to
meet the needs of those who have no
elementary education, and of those
who are menatlly dull, but of sound

Fight Still Rages
Over Location of
Federal Structure

The fight started last week, following
the activities of those who circulated
q petition to the U. S. treasury depart
ment, asking that the new federal
building be not erected on the street
site, shows no signs of abating in its
fierceness. Each side stands to Its
guns and thunders in communications
to the daily press, seemingly without
furthering either cause.
From the trend of street discussion
it would seem that the majority OF
Aberdeen people deplore the fuss,
mainly because they fear that it will
result in an indefinite postponement
of work by the government on the
postoffice building. Press dispatches,
on the other hand, indicate the govern
ment will go ahead with its plans for
building the G street site.
@ The petition favoring retention OF
the Benn site will be held open by
E. B. Benn until Saturday evening,
when it will be forwarded to Washing
ton, D. c., with, as estimated by Mr.
Benn, all of 5000 signatures.
