ONE STATE INSTITUTION What (Southern Oregon Needs and What She Is Asking. , Hvory town In tho Southern Oregon country boa Its high school; but there la not ono college or university Jn all Its voat territory. Tho ono Normal school is Its only state Institution and without It tho graduates of tho high schools who deslro to secure Normal training must go outside tho atato; porhapa Into California to securo what should bo maintained wltbln our atato. Thla section of tlio stiito Is well supplied with local hltih schools woll equipped nnd with strong men nt their head. The need of tho hour Is an Institution equnl In rank to tho col logo with tho special duty of training teachers. ii.vif'1 imitttp ai I rv rn i rn WITH COLLEGES. Professor J. H, Horuor, of tho O. A. C, In an address at the Albany High School dedication the other day, said: "I have carefully atudled tho geog raphy and history of the valleys of tho Ilhlno and Khone, tho Solno nnd tho Thames, aa woll o tho densely populated districts of this country, and have coino to tho conclusion from tlio ovldonco boforo mo Uiat thoro are moro colleges, universities, churches, organs and pluno In tho Willamette Vulloy botweon Eugene and Portland than In any othor dUtrlct of like alio In the world. In this narrow stretch or territory, 123 miles long by rail way and covering loss than 3000 boc tlona of land, thoro nro sixteen col logos and unlvorsltlos, and as many buslnoss colleges nnd nnd acadomles. lSvory hobltahlo foot of land la ac cowlblo to a good public school. Sev-onty-flvo of theso public schools tench high school studios, and many of thorn already afford high school buildings. "In this llttio tract of territory Is ono-thtrtloth of all our colleger and universities In this country; nnd these Institutions of learning train about 1 80 of tho oollego and university mou In tho government.

CAN YOU AFFORD ITT Tho Normal schools of tho atato will coat Xour cents on onoh ono thou sand dollars, valuation for oach of the Bchools. This la a small amount, but l onough to run good schools, Thoro la no argument against having Normal boIiooIb exoopt the cost. U your property 1b assessed nt athou sand dollars, can you afford to vote four conta -two poatngo tarap to support n Normnl school T Automobile Fatality. NBW ORLEANS, Oct. 31. A. M.

Misleading statements madorto ln. fluenco public opinion, ought not to go unanswered, Public Welfare de mands truth and facta, A statement has lately gained cur rency that "Ono Normal School" of Oregon, grnduatcd Its nenlora nt a cost of 12,D00 each. It Is stated by aomo who seek to excuse or apologize for tho statement that tho ways and moans committee of tho Legislature at the session of 100.1 so roportod end that tho Into- Normal school at Drain Is llio ono referred to, Hut thla statement was not true of Drain and unvor could bo true. Tho year referred to Drain gradu ated throo seniors nnd tho ontlro fund that year at tho dlaposnl of tho Institution wan J3.7G0. U Drain Nor mal did nothing olso than education these throe, tho cost of ouch would be 1,250, Tho fact Is President Domvator that year planned to graduate no class at nil with n view to raising tho course of study to coutorm 'with tho course of other ntatea. Tho graduates came from aomo four-yoar high schools nnd wero graduated aa a moro Incident, Succeeding yeara showed tho good ef fect of Mr. Dempster's policy. Tho .'!,7i0 was used In developing a stu dent body of mure than a hundred. Theso three graduates coat no more than 300 each, nnd tho avorago coat of each of tho Oregon Normal ScTjooIb hni been f 210. It la unbelievable that men will stnto that the average cost of gradu ates of Normal schools la I12.G00, when It has novor boon groator than 21G. B. F. MULKEY. DEMAND FOR NORMAL TRAINED TEACHERS. Tho report of the Country Life Commission awakened Interest In tho rural school:. ' It Is ono of tho most Important rec ommendations of that commission Unit tho country school bo made a hotter school. No longor can tho boy or girl who ban managed to pass an ox umlnallon In tho "fundamental" se curo a teacher's certificate and se curo n school for tho asking. Today tho pcoplo In tho country schools are asking for tbo beat teachers, teachers well trained, nnd well and broadly educJtod. They want toachera from tlio Nor mal achoola who thoroughly under stand tholr profoaslon. Tho country schools are entitled to, and will havo well-trained teachers from tho best Normal nchool. SOUTHERN OREGON WANT8 A NORMAL SCHOOL. This section of tho atato Is as large as Now Jersey, Dolawaro, Connecticut and Rhode Island combined, South ern Oregon consists of tho grent Klamath Haaln and Lake County, tho Iloguo and Umpqua Valleys, and tho Coos Hay section. This territory Is as largo aa tho State of Maryland and twlco tho alzo of Massachusetts or VormonL Tho Roguo lllvor Valloy Is tho ccn tor of this great ectlon, and Is thoro foro tho logical -place for tlio Southern Oregon State Normal 'School. Tho development of Oregon has but just begun. Nothing so aids in tho development of nuy county, state, sec tion or oven city as good schools. Tho tour above mentioned states support twolvo Normal schools. Ono school in Southern Oregon would bo but a small beginning for so largo a scopo of coun try with Its vast vosalbllltles, THE VOTER'S TROUBLE8.

Tbo first of tbo -jwpular o acort wuh given at thoNntutorium Sunday afternoon. It was unfortunate I hot tlio time for tho entertainment bul to bo changed at tho luat moment from evening to nftornoon. tl via un avoidable, howovor, nB tbo Pasmorc trio woro unablo to mnko thmr Mon day'H date, unless thoy loft Medford Sunday evening on tbo 8:45 train. A very good crowd, howovor, was in ntlondance, nnd they woro tbo real lovers of music. Kvery member of tbo urogram was received with eu thusiam. In fact, the cotnpuny was called upon ho often to respond to encores thai lights hud to be turned on before the program was finished. The entertainment as n whole wus ono long to be remembered. Tho Pnsmoro sisters arc particu larly ccctivo in the soft and delicate passages. Thoy do not force them selves upon you by brilliant technique nud never resort to musical tricks. Their playing seems to invito n hush and quiet. One instinctively leans forward in the listening attitude, as if to catch the tender tone waves. This, was particularly noticeable in the plnying of the Traummcri. The instruments were softened with mutes mid the 'cello and viuling seemed to breathe Schumn'tin'h weird melody, whilo the entire nudieucc sat in rap tured silence. , It is n great compliment to Mrs. Andrews to say that her voice blend ed perfectly with the instrumental accompaniment to bur songs. Gou nod's Ave Mnrin, with the vviolin, 'cello nnd piano accompaniment, is one of Bach's melodies, nnd Gounod's adaptation. Gounod wns a man in whoso life religion played n grent unrt. His master corts were sacred music, nnd his Ave Mnrin is n musi cal prayer. Tho introduction, con sisting of tho full theme, 'is played by the instruments, nnd nt tbo point here tho voice is introduced, the whole becomes rather n quartette than a solo. The four ladies formed a pretty picture, and the combined melody of voice nnd instruments wn so dcvotiounl that one instinctively bowed n bend. It i to be hoped' that the manage ment of the Nntntorium will cive ti1 more of tbee delightful chamber concert... It is eood to forget, even for nu boir. the heydny nnd bustle of our busy town, rind to Inpe into the dreamy mood nnd feel the awak ening of the beter part of our na tures.
