The Voice OF The West

THE Pacific northwest somewhat infrequeny breaks into

attention The northwest divided between interest
and amusement over suggestion by mayor Baker, Of
Portland Ore. that league of western states should be
organized Of obtaining adequate consideration Of
the demands of the Pacific coast region and prompt
action In response to its representations.

contends, walking away with everything they need

psychologists in the last few years.

The less difficult subjects Of reading.
writing and arithmetic are then

with more speed.
Almost none OF our people are
greatly benefited by the high schools.
The majority have dropped out long
before they reach the upper grades
and II they do not receive manual
training and the best teaching in the
early years the schools can have but

: More Truth Than Poetry
THE OPTIMIST.
By JAMES ]. lIONTAGUE

WHENEVER yOu feel Ike selecting an OAR
And aiming the same at the weather
Like cussing the snOWst0Fm or Windstorm or bob
For hours and hours together.
Consider the robin, who sits on a limb
While snOWflakes impnge on his gizzard.
No grOusing growing or grOuching for him;
He cheeHly sings to the blizzard
EIE might still be lOafing around at Palm Beach
Or munching luciOus banana
Afar from the frostladen elemenfs' reach
On a nice little tree IN Havana
But the call Of the North set his pulses a-str,
His love Of the tropics departed,
And swinging aloft with flash and a whnT,
He glanced at his eOmpass-and started
A Nd now, though the Spring has adjourned for time,
And the wind bowls about something fearful
He never repines for a saaShiny cline
But meuly tries to be cheerful
And you who are moaning that sYerythings wrong,
As the cold, cammy snowdnfts you Eample,
Just listen a while to this optimists song
And study the robins examplel
