Sheriff

HAVE HERETOFORE formally an-
nounced my candidacy for the
nomination for Sheriff on the Re-
publican ticket to be voted upon at
the coming primary election May
10, 1916.
l have held the position of Dep
uty Sheriff during the past four
years. 1t is unanimously conceded
that a marked improvement has
been made in all departments of
the Sheriff's office during the in
cumbency of the present Sheriff.
The records in the office at the be-
ginning of the present administra-
tion were considered the worst in
the state. They are now consid-
cred equal to any and better than
most.
The work of tax collection has
been systematized so that quicker
and better service is now being
rendered, and taxes collected at a
much less cost than heretofore.
| am fully conversant with the
duties and needs of the office for
which l aspire.
II | am nominated and elected
pledge myself:
lst-To maintain the office in
Its present efficient condition.
2nd-To endeavor to further
improve the service to taxpayers
and to minimize the cost thereof.
3rd-To impartially perform all
duties and enforce all laws.

HiQh School Notes
By JOHN ANDERSON
Ia.al..a..a.af.se..1.sa..Y.sa.IR.a

The chemistry class finished it's
spring house cleaning last Thursday.
They began washing test tubes, beak-
ers and other paraphernalia on Tues
day, but did not finish the job to
Professor Ruch's liking until Thurs
day. He said that there were tear
drops on them yet which would have
to be washed off. OF course there
was much equipment charged up to
them which they, or no one else for
that matter, will have to wash. There
was a pile Of broken glass in the
waste-paper box that would have
done justice to a glass factory. At
the beginning of the year there were
about sixty beakers in the building,
while now there are only about thir-
ty. However, the class has done fine
work and this breakage should not
be begrudged Some of the members
Of the class are doing extra work in
quantitative analysis.
]. A. Churchill, state superintend-
ent of public instruction, spoke be-
fore the teachers training class dur
ing the first period Wednesday after
noon. His topic was rather general,
dealing with the preparation of teach
ers. His main points were as fol-
lows: The aim of the educational
department of the state is that all
teachers in Oregon shall be fully pre-
pared before they begin to teach
the rural as much so as the city teach
ers. The practice teaching is the
most important part of this course.
On 1t chiefly is based the giving of
the certificates. The would-be teach
ers should get the correct assign
ments and use them. The state wants
teachers who are exact in their work.
To Illustrate this point he conducted |
language lesson for two weeks (fig-
uratively speaking), telling just how !
he would use the time, giving the ex-
act assignments, etc. He talked |
about the rural teacher and told some
of his aims as head of the educational
department, The class found his lee
ture very entertaining and educa-
tional.
The typewriting test given Friday
before last was rather difficult. Only
one student who had not previously
passed test made the requisite forty
net words. This was Morris P'ymate.
Several others made that number of
words but had already passed a test.
The main thing which is being
worked for is accuracy.
The ANIMALS will probably be on

sale next Friday. The price connect
ed with acquiring one is so cents.
They will be we'll worth the price and
a quick sale is expected.
The seniors have been working on
the high school scenery almost every
day for the last week. They are CIV
ing some of the scenes fresh coat
of paint to get them ready for miss
Hobbs" which is to appear next
Thursday. They thought that the
play was too good to use the scenery
as 1t was-and l guess they were
about right. The play is a four-act
Scream" One of the members of
the cast said that it contained several
interesting love scenes which would
give rare chance of an education to
the younger students. They say also
that they will guarantee anyone a
laugh. N. B.-"Chick" Farlow is
very wrathy because through some
oversight his name was not given
last Thursday with the cast. He is
to play the interesting role of
"Charles." Now what his last name
is | do not know. l have an idea
that he, himself, does not know.
The physical training classes of
both the grades and the high school
are to stage May pageant in the
park, May 13. Among other things
will be the winding Of the May pole.
The high school orchestra is to
play for miss Hobbs"
This week has been a week of
speeches. Beside Superintendent
Churchill's address, Professor Sweet
ser of the U. of o. spoke to the as
sembly on Wednesday and Rev.
Mathis on Thursday. Prof. Sweetser
spoke in the gym and used the Ian
tern. He at first showed some slides
of reproduction of plant life-differ-
ent devices to insure pollination or
in some cases to prevent self-pollina-
tion. He spoke quite fully on this
subject. At the end of his lecture he
showed about fifty slides of Oregon
flowers and told where they are
found and other facts about them. 1t
was very interesting lecture.
AS an introduction to Rev. Mathis
lecture Mr.. Vessey sang several selec-
lions. Everyone liked both him and
his songs and wanted him to sing
some more. Rev. Mathis spoke most
y on the battles of life. He told of
Oavid's trials and used that as a sort
If text. The lecture was good.
Everyone liked it. He announced
hat there would be a high school
