Sufllco It to say that our citizens havo on occasions wit nessed political rows, back-biting, sec tional Jealousies nnd political revenges burst out In unexpected quarters with out any relation to tho real business in hsind, and whilo tho "fight" was on reason, justice and common souse wore cast to tho winds, At any rate this commlttoo has as surances that tho broad-minded dtl sonshlp of the Stnto of Oregon Is not interested in tho criminations and recriminations of tho past and is anx ious to pass upon the issue on Its morits honestly nnd conscientiously.

"One of tho first requirements of a suc cessful teacher is a strong body." No school In Oregon can offer as much along tho line of healthful con ditions as can the Southern Oregon Normal School. It Is situated In the foothills of the Siskiyou's whero the air is ever clear, pure, cool and brac ing. Tho sparkling mountain water from the melting enows of ML Ash land, having been protected from the contamination by the Federal Govern ment for 23 years, has been piped by the city, two miles to the grounds af fording an abundant pure supply for all purposes. Tho city Itself Is health ful, morally. Aa one approaches these Normal grounds they are Impressed by the large, well kept lawns, with the fine native trees giving one only glimpses of the profusion of flowers and the buildings beyond. The two large mala buildings stand to the front. Behind these is a large gymnasium and the two dormitories. The people of Oregon have but to say the word and these carofully kept buildings and spacious grounds will bo covered with strong, earnest, ambitious young people, eager for the training that will make them efficient care takers of the boys and girls of today the men and women of tomorrow.

Campbell, of the University of Oregon, opened tho aft ernoon, session with on address. His subject was 'The Quick and the Dead." To be alive, he said is to have the powers of initiative, imagina tion and determination to carry out projects. Studying tho State of Ore gon as a whole on tnese topics, Mr. Campbell showed Orogon to be very much alive. The state, he declared, should have threo good normal schools. One Is not enough because of the training departments that are essential whose efficiency decreases wita Increase of numbers. Three schools, he sold would have a maximum capacity of 200 students and the demand in the state is now S00. He showed that the state lias the best agricultural college In the West, and then took up the work at the University of Ore gon. The aim of the university, ho said, will be to extend its facilities to tho poorer classes, to cut down tho living expenses to ?200 a year, and to establish a student loan fund. WHAT WILL IT COST7 Ono ot the pertinent questions in connection with the Southern Oregon State Normal School Is "What will It cost?" A referenco to Uio bill will show a provision for a tax of 1-25 of a mill, or 4 cents on each 11000 tax able valuation. No citizen can afford to deprive his children of the oppor tunity of Normnl School trained teach ers for the meagre sum of 4 cents Tho tendency ' to vote against any thing and everything that involves a tax must bo overruled and the ques tion vlowed In the light of benefit de rived as an Investment. t f 7 im MlUiiiwum p !!
