through the center of the county?
And when the road is built one half
of the maintenance will be paid
from state funds. Is this worth the
price7
We believe II is, but II is up to
the people to decide. Something
must be done, Some definite ac-
tion must be taken. We cannot sit
idle and let the offer langulsh. We
must act. but how? That is the
question.
TO get the matter before the peo-
pie The Argus would like to give
publicity to opinions OF Interested
men, taxpayers. in the cities and
towns, interested ranchers along the
road who will be served, and any
others.
II the highway commission would
entertain a plan OF deferred pay
ments, say $4,000 this year and
$4,000 for four years, from the
road funds which are levied any
way; perhaps that would be the
best plan. II not the only other al
tentative which suggests itself is a
bond issue.
Which plan do you favor9 On
the front page of this issue is a
coupon upon which these proposi-
tions are set forth. We would like
to get an idea OF the sentiment OF
our readers on this important pro-
position, and would appreciate n
general expression from everyone.

have been specifically prepared for
specific position.
Our Commercial department has
over 80 students who are taking
courses In either typewriting, book
keeping, shorthand, commercial law
and etc When the second years
work has been done by these people
they will be prepared for ordinary
office positions as clerks and stem
ographers.
Our class OF IS young men who
are studying Vocational Agrleul-
ture both In our class rooms and
on the farms and ranches surround
ing Ontario. will. by the time they
have completed the four year course
undoubtedly be better farmers and
ranchers than they would otherwise
have been.
over 40 young women are taking
courses In domestic science and art.
As soon as this department can be
reorganized under the Smith-Hughes
Vocational act, many other house
hold topics, beside sewing and
cooking will be added. The young
women who complete the Course
will be much better prepared for
the vocation OF home making than
those who cannot receive this
training.
The boys who take our course In
Manual training gain a knowledge
OF tools and mechanical ability that
will stand them In good stead
whether they ever become carpen-
ters or not.
These five special features are
mentioned to show that the Ontario
Board OF Education is alive to the
demand being made that school
work be practical and vocational, as
we'll as academic and cultural.
II is true that many improve
ments could be made In the work
We are doing II the funds were
available. Higher priced and more
expert teachers can be secured TO
teach Commercial courses, Agricul-
ture and Teacher Training etc.
More expensive equipment can be
bought which would add much to
the courses taught. II Is the policy
OF the Board at the present time to
make no further increase In the
cost OF operating our schools, even
tho additional funds could be spent
very advantageously. They expect
to economize at every point where
economy is possible. They realize,
being taxpayers themselves, that
most taxpayers wish every possible
economy made. They are serving
the public interest to the best OF
their ability or else they would not
give their time and effort, without
any pay whatever. for this purpose,
They are hoping TO keep our schools
at least up TO their present stan
dard during the year TO come, hop
Ing that before long we may further
Ontario's position as the
center OF southeastern
Oregon.

BY J. NJ. Mcdonald, Supt. OF Schools
The public schools OF this country.
along with so many other funda-
mental institutions, are undergoing
a process OF change and adjustment.
There is a feeling abroad In the
land that our public schools must
be more responsive TO the chang
ing demands that are being made
OF the boys and girls who complete
the course leading TO graduation
More and more, the business world
Is demanding that high school
graduates be prepared TO do some
thing In particular when they fin
ish their school work. We are be-
ginning TO insist that schools give
young people practical as we'll as
cultural training. II is argued that
since over 80 percent OF our high
school graduates never finish a col
lege or University course. the high
schools OF this country should pay
less attention TO preparing young
people for college entrance, and
pay more attention to fitting them
TO earn a living when their school
work at home Is finished.
The Ontario schools have been at
tempting, within the limits OF the
means at their disposal, TO follow
this general policy In so far as they
can. We have not lost sight OF the
fact that cultural education is nee
essary. We require every student
who graduates from our school TO
study English and Composition all
four years OF the course. We re-
quire that two years work In
mathematics be completed; one year
in American History and Ciyies; one
year in Science. Other subjects.
strongly recommended to our stu
dents.
In addition to courses OF this
type. however, We are offering
courses which are very practical
and vocational In character. When
We remember that our high school
is located at the extreme eastern
edge OF the state, In the largst
community of any size In quite
large territory, we understand what
an unusual responsibility is ours.
There is no college or University To-
Gated near enough TO our oommun-
ity that many OF our boys and
girls may readily attend. Conse-
Quently the large majority OF them
must get all the schooling that they
will ever receive, right In our local
schools. For this reason we should
all be doubly anxious to make our
local schools as strong as we can
afford.
There are several departments In
our high school which are meet
ing in part, the demand for prac-
tical instruction. This year We will
turn out a class OF seven young |
women who have completed the
course in Teacher Training, They |
will receive certificates to teach in
any grade school in the state. They |

DO WE WANT sioO,oOO9

DO the people Of Malheur County
want the additional 100000 which
the Highway Commission has offer
ed them to be spent on the highways
of the county west from Cairo2
II we do not want this money, It
is certain that there are other
counties that do, and the offer will
not be permitted to stand for an
indefinite time.
Furthermore since this money
comes from the funds secured by
bond sales OF the state, which are
financed by the auto licenses the
acceptance of the offer means that
Just that much more of the auto
'i~enses paid by the people Of the
county will be returned to this sec
tion.
II il certain something must be
done about the road from Cairo to
narper Given another winter such
as the one just past and all that
region will be practically Isolated.
All the money hitherto spent on the
roads In that region will have been
thrown away, the grade will be
gone. as has the surface already and
some day the county will have to
start all over TO rebuild the high
way; while II the commissions Of
fer is accepted Il Is probable that
the entire road can bo built on
permanent basis. The manner In
which prices are declining justifles
this belief.
The people three years ago voted
bonds for the road from Vale west.
Five years ago they voted a direct
tax OF $4,000 from Vale west so
that there In available $4,000 now
to match tho states offer. All that
is needed is TO secure the other
1000.

THE EFFECT OF ENVIRONMENT

In Portland roses grow every
where not only in the parks and
upon the lawns about the homes.
but also along the parkways OF
many OF the streets. Roses are
common in Portland, so common
that everyone may have them, and
apparently everyone loves them.
As the result OF this general
diffusion OF roses no one thinks OF
stealing flowers" In Portland.
Flowers are so common and the
love OF them has been so generous
ly instilled by their presence every
where that the people may plant
them out on the parking strips
and know that they will not be mo-
Tested.
Contrast this picture with that
which obtains In Ontario. Here
there are few homes about which
flowers are cultivated. In fact the
home thus blessed is the exception
rather than the rule; and those
who do thus improve their homes
cannot feel safe In their possession.
Night after night OF late some OF
the prettiest flower beds OF the city
have been raided by yandal hands.
swhilo this indicates love OF the
beautiful II indicates no respect for
the rights OF others.

Editor OF Argus:
The owners OF land holding water
rights controlled by the Power Co.
may seem apathetic, but It is the
apathy OF despair. IL seems to be
the intention OF the Power Co. to
gain possession OF all the land de-
pendent upon them. The utilities
commission utterly ignore the needs
OF the farmers. They must know
they cannot support such expense II
they know anything concerning ex-
listing conditions. Senator Borah
stated in a speech in Congress that
Power charges on the American side
OF Niagara Falls were almost double
those OF the Canadian side. Is II
any wonder our farmers are leav-
ing an interest-ridden country for
one where laws are enforced with
Justice?
The Editor OF the Argus speakes
OF a fair and impartial valuation"
as means OF lowering taxes. How
may that be obtained2 The writer
owns a dry homestead which will
not produce enough TO feed n dozen
hens, yet the assessor doubled the
assessment last year notwithstand-
ing protest He had never seen the
place nor asked for any information.
II he had he gave II no considera-
tion. IL must be the object OF the
tax officials TO drive settlers from
Malheur Co., and they are making
a success OF II. Is Ontario keeping
pace with Idaho towns in growth

not an active inducement to property
owners.
