MONMOUTH PRESIDENT TELLS
PORTLAND OF NORMAL NEED

normal schools you should bear
mind three things. For a nor
NAL school to be most successful in
its service to the public, it should be
situated In city where there can be
guaranteed at least l0O0 pupils in the
public school for training purposes; It
should be at railway center where
II can easily be reached from the ter
ritory it serves, and II should be In
the center OF a locality that has high
schools enough developed to supply
students to it.
Nearly every normal school in the
United States Is hampered because 1t
is placed In a small town in which
there cannot be obtained enough chill
dren to meet the demands of the
training school. This condition has
confronted us in Monmouth. and we
are trying to use aIso the pupils Of
the schools of Independence to make
up the deficiency in training school
pupils.

In talk before the Portland Ad
Club at luncheon yesterday noon,
President Ackerman of the Mon
mouth Normal school, made an earn
est argument in behalf of the meas
ure for an eastern oregon normal at
Pcndelton, likewise asserting that in
time similar school should be es-
tablished in southern Oregon
In his talk President Ackerman
said.
mo matter how well situated 4
normal school may ye, 1t can serve
only a limited area a radius Of 100
miles about the cltS where normal
school Is situated indicates the source
from which 1t draws Its supply and
the territory to which it returns its
trained teachers.
The young people of eastern and
southern oregon are just as eager to
train themselves as the young people
OF the Willamette valley, but they
cannot well go to the normal school
unless the normal school is brought
to them believe the time must
come when there shall be three nor
mai schools in oregon, one for the
Willamette valley, une for eastern

STERLING BRIDGE AGAIN DE-
LAYED.

Report comes from Sterling that all
the false work for the new bridge has
again been washed out by the high
water. This is the third time the
bridge company has lost thousands of
feet of lumber and the result of weeks
of labor. Two of the steel caisson
piers, partly filed with concrete, have
also been washed away, and lie in the
bed of the stream. These probably
cannot be recovered, and new ones
must be ordered in their stead. The
Midland Bridge Company, of Kansas
City, is held to the performance of its
contract by certified check for 81 900,
deposited with the county commission
ers last summer, otherwise it is likely
the job would have been abandoned be-
fore this time. The contract was as
sumed by the company last summer
and the work should have been COM
pleted before January !, 1916. Already
