A HOME IN THE MOUNTAINS
(Continued from page 1)
All the groceries are bought from a wholesale de
partment. It is stored in a storage room for the winter.
The food is not fancy, but plain and wholesome. The
Christmas presents are bought on the last trip to town
and packed away until the holidays.
Mr. Colman was injured in the war. He receives
fifty dollars a month compensation from the govern
ment. Their income is not large so all means of
economy must be used. They live up here because
the cost of living is not so high as in the city and be
cause the air is healthy for Mr. Colman.
They have two milk cows, two work horses and one
saddle horse. Mrs. Colman has fifty chickens. She
ells eggs and butter to a forest rauger who is stationed
about six miles away.
A victrola helps to pass the evenings. Each mem
ber has the kind of records he prefers. The bookshelf
holds books of adventure for James, books for Marjorie,
and books for the mother and father. A book on
“Attractive Homes” and “Carpentry” for Marjorie
and James are on the shelf.
Roger has a teddy bear, paint set, and a small car.
James has a football, skis, skates and a sleigh. Mar
jorie has skates and a sleigh. The family rejoices
in the wonderful health and happiness that all have
attained in the outdoor life that is enjoyed. They
have proven the phrase, “Home can be home without
modern conveniences.”
SENIOR NOTES
By Charles
Morgan
Leander Wilson, an old classmate, has just spent a
few days on the campus visiting friends. Lee is re
turning to his home in Southern Oregon.
If employees or students know of old students or
old-timers of Chemawa who are making good, we wish
that your list be turned in to the Senior class.
There has been a continuous rumor for the last few
days around the campus to the effect that we were to
be reseated in our big ‘ ‘eat house. ’ ’ Our dreams have
come true, as we have been privileged to sit with whom
we please.
The old print shop, which is to be quarters for
school guests, will soon have its interior remodeled.
It will be a very conspicuous building because of its
position on the campus. Boys from our carpenter
shop are Mr. Davis’ helpers. They are learning quite
a bit of carpentry which will help them in the fu
ture.
Mr. Ross is very busy on a campaign, but it does
not happen to be tuberculosis stamps or anything of
the like. It is a campaign on moles that are constant
ly digging up our beautiful campus. Mr. Ross be
lieves in the preservation of the beauty of our lawns
and is putting forth all efforts to remedy this mole
problem.

the great reading room of the public
JI library I peer over the top of my book
jPg at a thousand students gathered round
” the tables. How varied they are! Some
of them men of business, pursuing an
illusive fact; But most of them young men and
young women, bright-eyed and spirited, reso
lutely conquering dull textbooks and ardently
burrowing into the lairs of truth. A strange
delight comes over me in that almost silent
crowd: I feel . . . the vast process of trans
mission through which the past pours down into
the present its growing heritage of knowledge
and wisdom, of art and courtesy; the trans
formation of animals into men goes on before
my eyes.
It goes on today more than ever before. What
libraries, what schools and colleges, and univer
sities so numerous that he who runs may be a
Ph. D.! Watch the crowds entering the Great
Hall of Cooper Union in New York City on a
Friday evening, and judge how many men and
women, the country over, have realized that
education, rightly seized, is not a task but a
deepening exhilaration.................QI understand
that there are more students in the high schools
and colleges of America than in all the rest of
the world combined. If this is so, then I can
accept all the sad news that the pessimists bring
me about my country, and bear it with fortitude
and equanimity.
