T-TEACHERSNEET
Educational Authority Talks on Farm
Life and Character Building.

Following the two chorus numbers
as rendered by the high school girls
glee club and vocal solos by Miss
Warren, County Superintendent E. c.
Brick talked to the parents and teach
ers at the high school last Friday
evening, and while his address was
brief, it contained several things of
keen interest. &.
Agriculture was Mr.. Bricks subject,
and he spoke of education and its eff
feet on making farm life attractive.
The country boy should be helped in
every way said Mr.. Brick, and taught
that his vocation is a noble one as
we'll as being vital to the welfare of
the country. Mr.. Brick spoke of the
enormous increase in population and
how at the present rate the United
States will lave nearly two hundred
million inhabitants in another genera
ton. Intensive farming, more and
better stock, more prolific grains and
grasses, and in general increased
production, is the problem ahead of
the boys and girls of to-day who will
be the farm men and women of the fu-
ture. Mr.. Brick does not feel that
the immediate present is the proper
time for establishing an agricultural
department in the local schools, al
though many communities in the coun-
ty have them. The Livingston, Mt.
munities have agricultural schools,
and Patch Grove is arranging for one
in conjunction with the new school
plant now under construction.
Consider the matter carefully, dis
cuss it thoroughly and after while, if
the sense of the community seems to
be toward local agricultural course,
go in for it and go it hard! Mr.. Brick
seemed to feel that the high school
agricultural course was to be pre-
ferred over the county school as the
students entering were of like age
and school training-a condition not
obtaining in the county "aggies."
Chas. L. Harper, of the State Super
intendent of Public Instructions Of
flee, but formerly Grant county
man, followed Mr.. Brick and, after
telling of the hardships of early days
in Wisconsin, took up a general talk
on the relation of agriculture to the ma
ton and social center work and it's
influence on country life. Mr.. Harper
pictured the result should the country
have three crop failures in succession
and advocated smaller farms and
more intensive farming as the remedy
for scarcity of food supplies. Manito-
woo county farms average IA acres
in area, while Dane county farms
average 154 acres-a distinct differ
ence prevails in the appearance of the
farms in the two counties: Manitowoc
farmers having better buildings, bet
ter kept land and in general seem to
feel that their farms are ample in
size to handle properly.
Twenty-Five thousand social center
gatherings were held in Wisconsin
in the year 1913, $4,000 in 1915. and
this year promises to go even higher
'All these things lead to better COM
munity feeling, and more "pull-to-
gether," said Mr.. Harper. The meet
ing dispersed at 10 o'clock with a gem
eral feeling that the time had been
well spent, and a regret that the
speakers could not have been allotted
more time for discussion

The next step of the tabulatiOn runs
to marriages, and we find that th1r-
teen couples embraced matrimony dur
ing the period mentioned. -~@
But one case of second marriage is
recorded and that was on the part of
man. The average male age is 26.6
years and the average female age is
/ "A years-thus the ancient rule that
husband should be older than his wife
is carried out and preserved.
There were eighty children born in
Grant county according to the month
ly reports, and of these 81 were fe-
male, and 43 were male Only one
case of twins is on record and, I'M
fortunately they did not live. The
children were all born of white par
ents, and in thirty cases were the first
children born to the homes they
grace.
The average size of the Grant county
family, using the record as a base and
counting in the first-bOrn children, rs
a little less than three children to the.
family-2.8 in fact, although it would
take a Solomon to make the division,
AS this counts the number of children
born tC the mother, and not those act
ually living, we find that in the lat
ter classification there are 2.5 child
rem in the families where births oc-
Cured during the period.
Among the families appearing on the
record those of John Pankrac of
Muscoda, and George Ready of Wyalus-
ing, are the largest. Mr.. and Mrs
Pankrac are the parents of child
rem, and Mr.. and Mrs. Ready, ten
children, all of whom are living. Both
of these men are farmers.
1t might be noted that the last aver
age relating to the size of family
must not be taken as a general aver
age as in the majority Of cases the
recorded birth was a frst-born child.
This would decrease the general aver
age as may readily be seen.

When the Willamette Glee clubs give
their combined program on the evening
of May 5, one of the charming soloists
who will take part is Miss Leila Belle

of Liberal Arts
Miss McCaddam is a singer Of no lit
tie fame; coming here from Rathdrum,
Idaho. in 1913. she sang for several
months in the First Presbyterian
church. While living in idaho she was
frequently in demand as sOlOist in
Spokane and she always sang to a
pleased audience. Miss McCaddam has
not yet finished her musical education,
although she has studied under some of
the greatest teachers in the northwest.
Previous to the arrival of DR.. Frank
Chace, who now has charge of the Col
lege of Music, Miss McCaddam studied
under Jasper Dean MeFall, of Portland,
and frequently appeared as a soloist at
the Sunnyside church and Westminster
Presbyterian church in Portland. For
the past year, however, Miss McCaddam
has studied under Dr. Chace and is now
one of his most advanced students and
also the leading soloist at the First NJ.

popular with the music loving public Of

rich deep lyric voice and carries well

CAN ONE Be SUED FOR
SLANDER|NG ADAM?
Man On Trial for Slandering
Washington Brings Up New
Legal Question

Tacoma, Wash, April 29-Hoary
statutes Of the Romans ancient Ger
man law volumes and musty English
cases OF centuries ago have been res
urrected by Attorney p. l.. Pendleton
and will be introduced as evidence in
the defense of Paul X. lIaffr on trial
for criminally libelling George Wash
ington, when the trial is resumed in
superior court Monday. The state con
cluded presentation of its case last
evening.
In denying motion by the defense
for a dismissal, Judge Card ruled that
under the statutes of the state, and
person is liable to arrest ON charge
of criminal libel for the criticism of
deceased persons, even as far back as
Adam The statute fixes no limit to
the time within which the possibility
of libel ceases, ne held and the ques-
tion of whether malicious intent is in
volved must be tne deciding factor in
each ease,
The ease is without parallel in the
annals Of American jurisprudence, and
no modern precedents of any sort arm
available, attorneys agree.
Attorney Pendleton S chief argument
for dismissal was that unless the opera
tion Of the state libel statutes were con-
fined to the matter Of libeling II de-
ceased person within the life time of
his family, prosecutions could be car
.ricd to an absurd length, and practic-
ally no person be free from liability
of arrest.
"Ths is the most preposterous ease
! have ever heard Of, ~ Pendleton said.
''There mas never been anything like
it, except one old English case that
was dismissed. If we can have the
libel Of Washington, we can have also
the libel Of Adam, Jesus Christ, Napo,
leon, any one who is dead, and have
cases in court every day just as silly
as this one. ~

Grant COrby Is Urged
for District Attorney
On Democratic Ticket

The name Of Grant COrby for the
democratic nomination for district at
torney has been suggested by prominent
democrats for some time and today Mr..
Corby stated that he would accept the
nomination if his name were written in
by the democratic electors at the polls.
The chairman of the democratic state
central committee has also notified the
democratic voters of Marion county
that Mark WeatherfOrd, of Albany,
will accept the nomination for repre-
sentative in congress from the First dis
trict if his name is written in.
Chairman Bert Haney, of Portland,
will notify all of his Marion county
democrats of the selection of COrby for
district attorney and Weatherford fol
congress and will request that these
names be written by the democrats
at the primaries.
