A student entering the normal school
to become teacher must first decide
where he will teach If in the rural
schools, then he studies trapping, dairy
ing, plain cheap living sind how to hog
ize the children, and he is assigned to
the care and tutorship of Prof. Ritman.
Such teacher is not to acquire skill, de-
velopment Of the faculty and the tact
of aiding the pupils to acquire the rudi,
ments of an English education that will
qualify them to investigate, to insonn
and educate themselves for the impor-
tant duties of citizenship and FOR life s
struggles,
But l can only touch upon matters
in this brief expose. This Segregation (;
this rural department of our normal
school to which Prof. M. s. Ritman has
so generously devoted his life and ef-
forts as set out in his letter to Chap
man Voter (pedigreed by oul state
supreme court) is an anomaly and an
outrage and voices his confidence in the
assurance that "more suckers wear
breeches ths1 swim in the creek"
Abolish these departments; call in
these portable county rural normal
schools; cease longer to abuse for such
Iyenal purposes these rural training
schools; conduct the functions and op-
erations of our state ..ormsl az Mon
mouth educate and qualify students en-
tering them for the laudable ambition
of teaching in the course and curriculum
of our public schools. Employ iroi. vi.
s. Ritman as an instructor in the nor
maj at Monmouth or discharge him.
Prof. Ritman's letter to the Voter from
the far east threatens to return to Ore
gon soon and take Up this rural work
of further hogizing the children of the
country schools.
Now, in Mr.. Oleott's budget he lists
the needs of the state normal as $11,-
$50. Drop and discontinue this rural
department and all other departments
and the 1-25 mill voted in 1908 upon
promise that no more would be asked
and that this provision would take the
normal out of politics will probably be
ample for the normal's financial needs.
But this system Of hogizing (Garyiz-
ing) our public schools or or iccolng
hogs from our pay rolls is expensive.
Hog feed is very, very dear now.
Upon any reasonable adjustment and
allowance the budget amount can pe ro-
duced in the sum of $4,000 and that
would help pay the governors guard.
The scope and growth of this education,
al diversion and operation is such that
in brief expose one can only touch
upon the evils.

SHIP SUBSIDIES.

There are going to be some tall problems to settle
in American shipping before long They are forced into
notice bit prematurey by the sudden reduction of
ocean freight rates by the British.
We have very respectable ocean fleet now, public
and private 1t has been built up under the necessities Of
war and the stimulus of rates. The ships have
been tremendously expensive to build Many of the old
have been bought at huge figures Our sailors wages
are the highest in the world 1t looks as if ships will
be more expensive to operate than those of any other
nation.
This does not matter great deal as long as there
is scarcity of tonnage and every ship still get
cargo at reasonable rates. But this situation will not last
forever The emergency is passing the tonnage is in
creasng other maritime nations trying to regain
their old trade.
1t is very fine and very advantageous commercially
for the United States to possess ships enough to handle
our own foreign trade under own flag But it may
prove costly.
We shall probably hear the plea that it cannot be
done without liberal government subsidy for our pr
vate shipping and that government fleet will have to
operate at loss The American public has never yet been
tolerant of the ship subsidy dea 1t is question whether
it will tolerate subsidies now

CRIME AND WALL PAPER.

The lecturer on art subjects was talking about the
effect of harmonious environment upon human charac
ter:
"a man who had been in charge Of five penal nsttu-
tons said that in his whole experience had ne found
a criminal who came from happy home"
The happy home from which good man comes may
be most humble, but it contains elements OF harmony
which make him desire to be force in the creation OF
harmony in life rather than discord The home may not
satisfy him. But there constructive forces working
there making him desire improvement, giving him nope
rather than driving him dspairngy into ways OF destruc
tion. 80
It may seem absurd that bad wall paper can drive
peope to crime But there is some truth underlying the
statement The chioce of wall paper indicates the type
of mind The person who chooses badly designed wall
covering full Of big ugly patternng sprawng over the
pIace who half covers this with chosen pictures IS
sure to make mess of the rest of the and the room
reacts upon the character Of those who live in it. helping
them make mess of life The mind of the chooser IS

rather than distraction.
