opening, last year, Of Lithia park
and by their presence and addresses
did much to give eclat to the gather
ing. Another official of the road in
the person of Mr. Chas. S. Fee, pas
senger traffic agent, although person
ally unknown to me, has done many
good turn for Ashland, notably in
furnishing the Ashland Commercial
Clubs rooms with magnificent photo
graphic views-one of Mt. Ashland
itself and another Of the beautiful
Perozzi fountain In Lithia park. A
chorus of voices attest the fact that
Mr.. Fee "holds down" his job with
that faithful efficiency and good re-
port that makes man every inch a
man amongst his fellows
It would be cruelty itself to omit
mention of the fact that no more
capable and devoted agent to the
sterling interests of the road and
Ashland itself could be found than in
the person of Mr.. Kramer, whose
"yes" and mo" in all business trans
actions have a timely significance.
Mr. Kramer has powerful lever in
Mr. Wright whose sleight of hand at
the ticket office enables him to gather
in, day by day, bright array of twen-
ty and ten dollar gold pieces, in sup

NORMAL GRADUATES ONLY.

Ashland's old friend, Ben Sheldon,
is still boosting for more normals. In
an editorial in the Grants Pass Cour-
fer Of August 7, after commenting on
the action Of the Grants Pass school
board in employing competent teach
ers, he says:
Teaching is Just coming to be
recognized as a profession. And 1t
certainly is a most important one.
The time has passed when school
boards may feel Justified in putting
the children of the community, in the
years when their minds are the most
pliable, the most susceptible to
moulding influences, into the hands
of teachers who have not been train
ed as to the handling of those minds.
Time was when any young woman
well or fairly well educated was con-
sidered capable of teaching children
Now the fact Is recognized that teach
ers must be taught how to teach
There is a real science of child train
ing, of developing minds, character.
ambition.
"It is little short of a crime to put
the children of our citizens, their
most precious possessions, into the
moulding hands Of those who are lily
prepared for such an important task.
The results of mlshandling are too
important. The art of teaching, of
handling children, of making the sub
iects taught interesting, of stimulat-
ing a desire for more knowledge, Of
teaching the practical application of
what is learned to every day affairs
OF later life; all this Is a part of a
competent teachers training which
can be obtained only in a course CIV
en- In normal schools, designed speor
Tally for that purpose.
at Is, therefore. one OF the hope
ful signs Of the times that school au-
thorities are recognizing the impor-
tance Of employing teachers who
know, through specific training, how
to teach This means the normal
school graduate. Would that such
normals could turn out enough
trained teachers to fill all the posi-
tions in all the country's schools"

Use to FOREST service.

The forest service is interested in
these roads because they will make
the work of administering the work
of the national forests easier and
more economical. They will also in
crease the receipts from such sources
as special use permits for summer
home sites. and bring more people to
know what a playground we have i'll
the national forests.
This view of the use of roads
from a recreation standpoint must
not be lost sight of. The roads Of
Southern California are a legitimate
investment for they return their va
ue many times over in the use they
get. and also in the revenue which
they bring to the state from the tour
ist travel. 1t is estimated that this
tourist travel in California brings at
least one hundred million dollars an
nually to the southern part of the
state from this source In the state
of Colorado it is estimated that the
tourists leave at least forty million
dollars annually in the state. If the
state of Oregon should expend ten
million dollars in the construction of
roads and thereby attract to the state
one million dollars per year of tour
ist money, it would be thought
very good investment. and yet that
is not one per cent of the amount
spent by American tourists in Eu-
rope before the war. These tourists
would be interested most in the mag
nificent scenery. They must be able
to see these mountains. however.

section. the forest service has been
seeking a way to meet this need. They
began by concentrating their efforts
on the Mckenzie river road in the
central part of the range, and doing
what they could with the limited
funds available from the receipts of
the national forests sum of from
SEQ, 600 to $4,000 per annum. Not
al this fund could, however, be ex-
pended on this one project so that
the amount which ii has been possible
to eNpend there has only been about

been necessarily slow, and only a

Barlow Road. in order that he might
avoid the dangerous passage of the

The line of least resistance IN ore
gon has always been along north and
south lines. Since the days of Joel
Palmer the Cascade mountains have
stood as the same barrier. and even
today the crossing of these mountains
on any road is a feat accomplished
only by those who are willing to take
the risk.
The development of roads across
these mountains has been slow for
many reasons the main one of which
is the difficulty and expense of such
development. The taxable resources
of this state are small Distances are

of no value. due to the fact that the
cost Of Transporting the lumber
would be greater than the value Of
the lumber itself with no means
of communication the area surround
ing the Cascade mountains would be
valueless. and in private ownership
could not be developed for years to
come. and then only by a destructive
development leaving the country even
