East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1916-08-12

and if Pendleton is unsuccessful no
ether city will be willing to try for it.
Whether eastern Oregon has a state
normal school will depend on whether
Pendleton gets 1t or not. Pendleton
has shown the right hustling spirit to
go after it and eastern oregon should
get behind it in its efforts. There
are many other things that can be
brought to eastern oregon by other
cities but as long as Pendleton has
made the start let Pendleton make a
success of it if that city can.
The Baker view is that it is
NOW or never" as far as an
eastern Oregon normal is con-
cerned. The view is justified.
Pendleton has a far better
chance than any other town Of
securing a normal. We have
the location and are making a
vigorous campaign. If Pendle-
ton cannot win, no eastern Ore
gon town can do so and it is i'm
probable that any will try. If
PendletOn does not win this
time it is not likely the town
will touch the subject again
and eastern Oregon will remain
indefinitely without normal in
struction and with poorly train
ed teachers. The idea that the
school at Weston may be re-
habilitated should be dismissed
for good. Weston cannot hope
for a normal school unless it
