MORE UPON This matter of the THE 8AM E schools, and what is wrong wtth them, teems to be tak ing up considerable of the public at tention. Mr. Gary, county school su perintendent. Is himself not qulto satisfied with the manner In which the modern young Idea Is taught tD shoot and from time to time com ments thereon. One of his latest epi grams on the subject is "school Is not preparation for life. It Is a part of life." Mr. Gary has observed and he knows whereof he speaks. School Is life, and It Is mighty poor life theas days. It is so poor. In fact, that we no longer hear that time honored platitude about school days being the happiest ones of alL Mod ern school days are not happy for anybody concerned. They are not happy for the students, because the boys and girls are confused with a mass of studies of practically no value to them in everyday life; they ara not happy for the teachers, b cause the Instructors realize that 1 there Is little enthusiasm among the pupils, and because they know that much of the teaching is worthless; they are not happy ones for the par ents, because many of them can ill afford to have their children purxl lng their minds over so much useless matter. Wherein lies the remedy, is the question that confronts all. K Is not thought satisfaction will be found entirely by return to tne olden-day courses, when reading, "riting and rlthmetlc were the standbys for tie years of school life. The hope of the future, according to the general opinion, lies In the vocational school; In courses of study designed not only to he helpful in later life, but to be a part of the life of youth Itself. Chil dren will learn the necessary things much more radlply II they are taught them Indirectly. While it is true that they have to be rigorously drill ed in some of the simpler subjects, such as spelling and the art of writ ing now almost a lost art much cf the other work can be furnished them Incidentally with instruction of real interest Arithmetic, for instance, can be made a part of almost any vo cilloiiii stoiy; it can be co-orilsatcd with manual training, and even with domestic science. History, geography, science, as well as grammar and other studies, can be taken up Indirectly with vo cational work. History and geog raphy, in particular, can be made In teresting to even the dullest dunce If taught by story and not by rote. Manual training and domestic science can be made the basis from which more advanced scholars can branch out into botany, agriculture, physics, or a host of other things; and they can be so taught that the children will welcome the hours In the class room or the laboratory, and will not go drudgingly from study to study as prisoners go from task to task. The truth of the matter Is that while every other phase of modern life has undergone a great transition in recent years, school work Is still hide-bound by the binding cords of the past The desVs of the modern school are more comfortable than the benches of former ysars, blackboards are less of a strain upon the eyes, classrooms are hotter vontilated and bjfter lighted bvt tl:e curricula is et ill a monstrcus t'ain which is Jam med willy-nilly dawn tv.e throat3 or the youngsters like a distasteful medi cine. Schooling la presented to tha child as something that has got to be suffered, Instead of being offered as a tempting pathway to new fields seen vaguely In the distance. Everything outside of school has been made more attractive, child life Dividends of We aim to make each transaction a pleasure to the man in front of the counter and the man behind it When you give this bank your busjness, you receive material benefits, conveniences for carrying on your financial matters with safety and accuracy.

Tho Bank of Oregon City OLDIST BANK IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY haa heon rcrardod as a thing that should be made ploasant but school lire has lagged behind with some few other remnants of bygone eras. The change must come and come speed ily else we will become a nation of undor-educated folk, a land of Illiter ates, a people of superficial shams. It Is woll that the public mind !s turning to this matter .for only through public agitation will a bet terment be brought about. A QUESTION Every now and then OF VERACITY something bobs up that casta discredit upon the North west, and when the matter is run down It Is found that some too ardont booster has been exaggerating facts, and that some over-keen Easterner has nailed the He, and hns therefor concluded that all news of the Jlorth west is of the same calibre. There are two cures for this sort of thing: one is to "tame down" all boosting news so that the Northwest will un derstate Its resources, and the other Is to tell the East some of the weird yet apparently impossible truths about this section of the country, an.l to convince them that they arj truo. Once they learn that the apparently Impossible Is really true, they will be apt to believe everything. For In stance, If the East was finally con vinced that on the Oregon coast It Is possible to break out solid rock from tho sna-cllffs and find living shell fish imbedded in the material as is a fact It might be easier to get them to believe the somewhat less surprising statement that four and sometimes five crops of alfalfa can be harvested In one year from the same field. Or if the East was once definitely made to understand that the velocity of the Nisqually river In Box Canyon was so great that the stream actually "runs up hill" for a part of its wav to th? sea. It might be more simple to get them to believe that salmon leap over waterfalls, and that land Is often sold for more than $2,000 an acre, and is worth It. HARD TO In seeking a competent SATISFY cruiser to discover how much Btanding timber there was in Clackamas county, so that the taxes could be levied with greater fairness to all, the members of the county court were forced to procure a gen tleman from beyond the county lim its. There may have been good cruis ers living within the county, but they were not available at the time; and as competency was the chief factor to be taken Into consideration, the county court employed an outside man. For this they have been harsh ly taki'n to task in a certain quarter. ' In making alterations and repairs upon the county court bouse, the members of the county court let the work to residents of thiB county, after deciding not to accept the bids made by firms and persons who were not residents. For this they were harsh ly taken to task in a certain quarter. It seeuis to be a case of "be damned if you do and be damned if you don't,'' with no satisfaction possible. It would be interesting to know what would please the Road .Builder from Cuba, who pays less taxes and makes more noise than any other member of the disgruntled trio. FORUM OF THE PEOPLE Denial By Mr. Smith MACKSBURG. May 28. (Editor Enterprise) I read In The Enter prise an article on the recall meeting at Needy, in which my name Is con nected, that I wish to state is un qualifidely false in every particular, so far as I am concerned or connect ed, and I ask you to publish this de nial. I would state that I do not live in Needy precinct, have not been there In many months, had not signed or circulated a recall petition; could not be a road supervisor In that precinct if appointed; would not take the ap pointment in my own district of It was handed to me in a frame, and I was not even present at the meeting. I would further ask that The En terprise confine itself to the truth so far a. I am concerned hereafter, an1 not dras me In with a string cf u1 terly false and absurl statements. The people are more Interested In the recall charges than In the false statements about me. Let The En terprise defend the charges of Mr. Olds and others, and If It cannot, then I would suggest that it at least confine Itself to a few truths, so that the statements might be given a lit tle credit. If The Enterprise knows any truths about me that are deserving of critl- Satisfaction clsm, then U may put me on ta roaster. If I have ever done anything In po litical or business affair to be shamed of, 1 have forgotten It, and would like the public to do likewise. , J, W. SMUTH. ROAD DISTRICT 50 WILL GET HIGHWAY Iu a suit filed by A. H. Schmidt and l.lxsle Koch agalust the members of the county court, and reviewed Tues day by Judge Campbell In the circuit court, the hteher tribunal uphold the decision of the county court and d.v nled the right of the plaintiffs to halt work on the highway In road district No. 60, determination of which was first fixed July 6, 1910: In the complalut In the ease It was sot forth that a petition for the loca tion and establishment of the road had first boon presented In July, 1910, and that "one K. Schoppert protended to put up written notices of such pe tition," that the only proof of this notice was Schoppert s affidavit, that on September 7 the county court made an order declaring the road a comity highway, and that the plain tiffs had boon damaged thereby: Schmidt to the extent of J.100 for the value of a strlp-erf-mnd 30 fot wide and half a nillo long needed for the road, and Koch to the extent of 1210, for a strip of land 30 feet wide and a quarter of a mile long. It was also alleged that payment of these dam ages had never been made, though viewers had fixed the valuation. Evidence waa introduced to show that funds were on hand all the time for the payment of these damages, but that no demand for thorn . had been made. Petitioners for the road, through J. E. Hedges, contested the action, and convinced the court that the 'county court bad Jurisdiction in the matter and that tje road was a necessity. Following the hearing Judge Campbell dismissed the action, and the county commissioners will now proceed wth the construction o( the highway as orlglnall petitioned. EXAMINATION PAPERS AFFORD WEIRD ANSWERS County School Superintendent T. J. Gary and his assistants are theso days working hard on the annual ex amination papers from the various schools. In a day or so they hope to have all the papers marked, and will then announce the results. In t!3 meantime life Is one long grind, broken only occasionally when some paper Is reached in which the pupil, under the strain of examination, wrote down something that was not exactly what he or she meant to say. Some of these mishaps do much to add relief to the tedious task of cor recting papers. Among the surprising statements found in the answers are the follow ing: "Arbitration has something to do with trees." "First aid In drowning Is laying a person flat with the head flatter." "Subsoil Is the dirt on top of the earth. All the rest of the dirt is earth." "Four good crops for rotation of crops are peas." "Rotation of crops is to take some thing out of the soil and put it back." WARM TIME WAITS CALIFORNIA FOLKS The Royal Oaks, the unique organ ization of live wires of Oakland, CuL are coming north 200 strong by spe cial train to capture the Portland Rose Festival.
