THE COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, SATURDAY, MAY 3, 1913 EVENING EDITION. m 1 OUR AGE Some Interesting Thoughts On Present Conditions j ATEIt reports from tlio battle- Hove the onerous requirements of an I ground of tlio U.-ukcn Stntes would seem to indicate a possl blllty that complications may even tually tcmlnntc In n great European conllngrntlon. The united efforts of the powers to forestall such an out come of the war may bo blocked effectively by the stnnd taken by the armed peace It some bloodletting took place. The problems of the day seem to require much of the men who nre to solve them satisfactorily. They present not only their practical but also tholr theoretical phases. That the people of tlio United States did MontcncKrlns to surrender Sen- not fall In recoKiilzliiK this, was tnrl, a citadel which they conquered plainly manifested when It elected a nt so big n price would In their schoolman to stnnd at the helm of eyes, bo blank foolishness. It be- the ship of stnte. Unfortunately, longs to them by right of conquest. President Wilson found upon enter Tho combined European bluff fall- ing olllco that a number of very In ert of Intimidating tlio munll but In- trlcntu and vital problems had al trcpld nntlon. Deserted by Its allies ready assumed proportions that did SCHOOL CLUB IS okkickhs klkcthd ijy pah- KXTS-TKAl'll IMS' ('Mil HKV. LMWTAS SC'OUKS EIGHTH GKADE STATIC EXAMINATIONS It dcllcs the combined demands of thu mighty powers. The spirit of valor displayed cannot but cause great ad miration. In tlio general run of evontB, how ever the weaker must submit to the (lemnnds of the stronger, or suffer the consequences. And there Is no particular reason for expecting it re versal from that principal In this case.' Instead there Is ground for an ticipating a united and determined demnnd to bo i.indc by the powers that thu heroes of Scutari fame shall immediately and peaceably surrender their newly acquired stronghold, or face the stern features of a decis ive war with the combined forces of nrnicil Europe. This would present tho unprecedented spectacle of mighty, dominant, European powers unsheathing the sword to cover and forco n Llllputlnn nation Into obedi ence to their dictates. Tho chances, however, aro that It would be but u question of tlmo before tho woll-nourlBlied Jealousies, known to exist between thu powers, would bring about some kind of dis agreement which In Its turn would end concerted action. And this might effect the whole of Europe as the application of a lighted torch to powder magazines. It Ir evidently n delicate work of diplomacy that must bo carried out In the face of such possible calamities. earn estly hope that a general European war may be hannllv averted, nl. though It would perhaps greatly ro easily predict tho necessity of an early solution. Judging from pres ent Indications, ho will not have much reason to deplore a lack of ad ministrative strcnuousness. Things nre pushed forward at a tremendous pace nowadays and the present administration tuny mark an eventful era In tho history of our country. Meanwhile, It Is assuring that tho President Is a ninn thor oughly versed In tho theory nml prin ciples of government. So far ob tho practical phase of It goes, he will get all the opportunity necessary (o acquaint himself with this as ques tions of varied Interests from time to time demand his ntteutlon. At present the nttltudc of Califor nia anent tlio ownership of land by aliens Is a question of grave concern. It remains to be seen, If tho elo quence and diplomacy of the Secre tary of Stnte and tho scholarly pru denco of tho President can solve the problem so iin to eliminate all dan ger of threatened International com plications. Wo may rest assured that thoy will leave no effort undone that may happily avert friction with other nations. There may not bo very much danger thnt the .Iapnne.se will dcclnro war against our country, but It Is of vital concern to the chief ex ecutive and the pnrty to which ho belongs that pcaco and prosperity may contluuo to unfurl Its ling throughout thu length and breadth of this land of freedom and progress.

Wrlcht Wilson: vice-president, A. L. Barker; secretary, .Miss JIarlo T. Moloney. Tho next meeting will bo held on May 23, when a program will bo given under tlio direction of i A. Tledgcn, Mrs. Ora McCorty and Miss ljstlier Silverman. Yesteruny there was only a fair attendance, not nearly as large as two excellent tnlks by Superinten dent F. A. Tledgcn and llov. John Lewtas Justified. Hov. Lewtas spoke briefly and dovoted It prin cipally to an arraignment of the Oregon system of eighth grade ex aminations. Ho said that these ex aminations resulted In mid requir ed nu unusual amount of "cram ming," and were not for tho pupils" good. Superintendent Tledgcn said that them was a movement to change this system or examinations and thnt It would probnbly be accom plished In the not distant future. Superintendent Tledgeu's talk was along the Ideals of the public schools, or what wiib being nccom pllslied and what he Is trying to accomplish. He said tho object of the Parents-Tencheis' Club was not ono of reform, but one or co-operation to pave tho wny ior tho In troduction or new ideas and de velopment. Ho said that the Marslilleld public schools were far ahead of the size of the town and wero laid on a Imsls ror a city tn roe or four times as largo. Ho spoke of tho condition at present requiring tho principals to devote their efforts largely to discipline and tho superintendent to supervis ion of tho grade teachers, tho hit ter's diversity or subjects not per mitting thorn to he the specialists mat were ougnged ror high school work. Ho said tlint ho made It a rulo to go over tho grades or each pupil before his promotion, that In caso a pupil wacs not doing good work, an appeal was mado to his honor to improvo and only as a last resort wero notes sent to the parents. Ho said that It was his holler that superintendents who had a fatherly Interest iu tholr pupils accomplished the best results. Ho said that although this Is tho ngo of manual labor, ho believed that tho development of character 111 tll.l llllllllu Ulw.lll. 1 l,n ...n t ,1... ... wu .'. ii.iwiimi nu UIIU Ul IIIU I principal alms of the school. To do this ho said that ho round music In the schools, pleasant rooms and attractive surioiitidliigs, etc., nc- conip.lshpd much. Ho snld that a visit to a mill or nliint. a trln through tho woods outlines accom plished more In n pupil's education than could ho nirocted In any other way. Ho said that not all learning came from books. Ho said that ho believed that tho teacher's personality was another great inctor In uducatlon and re gretted thnt thoro wero not more men employed In tho high schools. Ho said that Marshllold was for tunate In this respect, hnvlng three men teachers. Ho snld thnt tho Marshllold school board was acting wisely In advancing tho pay of teachors. becnuso Jn order to retain good tencliors it wiib absolutely nec essary to pay thorn well. Ho 'point ed out how comparatively small tho cost or Instruction Is. At present, there Is an average or 30 pupils lo a room and tho tenchers' pay nverago about $i) a month, which means that the cost to each pupil ror eighty hourx of liiKin.nimi i about ?2. or nt the rate or two and one-hnlr cents per hour. Mr. Tledgen said that tho high school is now tho peoplo's collego Ho regretted thnt there woro ovon as many as thoro aro or Marshfleld young noonlo koIiic nwnv tn c,.iiio which aro not superior to tho local high school. Ho said thnt tho .Marshllold High School is now ac credited with tho loading colleges. Its giaduntos being given direct outrnnco. n0 mu that an en deavor wns made to keep in touch with Marshllold pupils Iu the higher Institutions 0r learning. Ho said tint ho was greatly pleased with the Marshllold High School at pies out nml that ho believed that thoro was loss silliness to tho squnro Inch among Its pupils than iu almost any other school Iu the country. Ho said thnt It was unfortunate that some pnrents allowed their sons to drop out of school morel) to earn the money to buy them n motorcycle or something of less value.
