A comparison of the course of study in the Salem public schools for 1904 and 1911 will surprise anyone at the advances made. The pamphlet setting forth the work of the school seven years ago is about thirty pages four by six inches. The new course of study for 1911 recently published by the board of education is 158 pages about five by ten inches. In 1904 there were three lines devoted to drawing and the course for 1911 contains thirty pages for this work alone. Four general courses are outlined language, general or sci entific, commercial and manual arts there is no classical course. The course in English is very thorough, and there is a six page course in cookery a plain word for domestic science. There is a very thorough course in domestic art other wise commonly called sewing or needlework. There is a very thorough course in morals and manners it is called ethics in the vocabulary of educators. Eight pages are given to 'nature study and agriculture and four pages to physical exercise. When we become fully civilized we will get the latter while we are learning the former. Six pages are devoted to music ana only two pages to phys iology and hygiene on the theory that the singing bird is not troubled with dyspepsia. There is no better advertisement of the progressiveness of this community than the present public school course of study. It ought to be an inspiration to any citizen to realize thai Salem has been put in the front rank as a public school city. For a man who does not get before the footlights very much City Superintendent Powers is to be congratulated, but the Salem school district is also to be congratulated in having Powers. Salem has again a prohibition paper, and a socialist paper is also to be started. All such publications are welcome. They employ labor and present radical views that are not exploited in the regular party press. Prohibition cannot well be made an issue. It is the duty of every city to maintain good order and minimize the vice of drunkenness and other wices as much as possible. The city of Salem can doubtless be improved some in its moral and social conditions. But it cannot be done by tying a bandage over the sore place and driving the virus all through the body. A higher socialization of the community is what must be aimed at, and that can only be brought about by intelligent co-operation of intelligent people working along the lines of the least resistance. To that end all good men and women should labor, laying aside prejudices and striving for all the uplift possible alon educational lines. -c THE RECALL OF JUDGES. The theory that judges are not to le subjected to the recall will not bear investigation. The people now have a chance to recall a judge every four years, or when his time runs out. Of course, it is understood the man in office has an im mense advantage over all others in keeping in office. The power of the recall over judges is a silent influence that will prevent the arbitrary use of their powers. Power in some men develops the tendency to tyrannize and become dictatorial in the administration of their office. If the people are not to have the recall of judges, then they might as well be elected or appointed for life. The power to recall once in four years is just as dangerous as the power to recall for cause. The commission charter did not provide the Des Moines nor the Tacoma plan of making nominations. It permitted em ployes to be dischargee without hearing and without cause. It gave the laborer no protection against "unfair competition from non-residents and contract labor. The amendments urged by the Capital Journal are for a direct primary that shall be non partisan and to give the people the benefit of the Des Moines and Tacoma plans combined. The limitation of contractors to employ home labor, or at least to give home labor the prefer ence, is for the upbuilding of the city by giving men who have homes and families to support a chance to live here. The labor ing man vho makes Salem his home, whether he has a family or not, is entitled to the first chance at public work. It is his ballot that makes city government possible and he has the same right as the business man to be given the preference in the disposition of what he has to sell. IMPORTANT AMENDMENT TO THE CHARTER MAYOR LACHMVXI) SAYS IT WIIX SAVE THE CITY HALF A MIL LION WOl'LI CHANGE MODE OF LETTING PAVING WORK. With but seven of the city alder men In their regular places, theJ council met last night to consider unfinished business left over from Monday's session,, and to consider proposals for amendments to the ex isting city charter. Councilman Lafky's motion that the city immediately purchase a Stu debaker street sweeper was objected to by Mr. Huckestein. and amended to read that the matter of purchas ing a street sweeper should be fur ther Investigated by that body before the particular make should be de cided upon. The regular monthly payroll of the street department wa3 ordered ppid and the city fathers proceeded at once to consider the proposal of the Ellis amendment to the city charter of Salem. Mayor Lachmund stated that thig was the most important measure to come before the people at the coming election in December, and that its adoption would save to the people) of Salem $.100,000 annu ally as well as a vast amount of troublo and inconvenience. The pro posed amendment reads as follows: "Section 1. That section 26 of the charter of the city of Salem, Oregon, of the act of the legislative assembly of the state of Oregon, approved February 15, 1901, be amended so as to read as follows: "Section 26. The council In Im proving any street or streets, or any part or parts thereof within the. city of Salem, Oregon, shall require from the city engineer plans, specifica tions and estimates for two (2) or more kinds of appropriate improve ments, at least one of which must be of a non-patentable kind, and the probable total cost of each class of improvement, and the city engineer shall file said plans, specifications and estimates in the office of the city recorder of the city of Salem, Ore gon. If the council shall find such plans, specifications and estimates to be satisfactory It shall approve thfi same, and shall determine the limits of the street proposed to be im proved, and the council shall, by res olution, declare its purpose and in tention of making said Improvement and determine the portion of the street to be improved. The action of the council in declaring its Inten tion to Improve any street or streets, or any part or parts thereof, approv ing and adopting the plans, specifi cations and estimates of the city en gineer, and determining the portion of the street to be Improved may all be done at one and the same meeting of the council. Upon the passage of such resolution by the council, the recorder shall duly give notice by publication for not less than five (5) successive days in a daily newspaper published in the city of Salem. Oregon, inviting bids for making said improvement. Each bid submitted must b? accompanied j by a certified check equal is amount to 10 per cent of the amount of the bid.
