Editor News:
The Oregon Dally Journal, In an
editorial says:
"Ninety-three per cent of our chil
dren have their training limited to
that of the public school. Kveii of
the remainder the teaching of the
high school fails to Berve as appren
ticeship to actual J If e work.
"OT the public school scholars a
small percentage graduate. The
rest Jump at the first chance to work
through the errand hoy or cash girl
route. Why can't wo take a lesson
from ' our German friends, and
scheme out the whole business of the
schools, primary, grade and high
schools, as a preparation for actual,
effective nnd efficient work? From
the kindergarten to the manual and
the technical school should be one
unbroken course." ,
If one Jooks caretully Into the
course provided by the school board
of Hoseburg, how much genuinely
useful knowledge will he find being
caught? Has -a boy ever been taught
to use his hands properly In connec
tion with his brain. How many boys
have come out of the Hoseburg -school
(and all, the other schools of Oregon
that do not teach manual training)
equipped; for life work? When a
young mun goes out Into the world
seeking a position he Is asked "what
can you do?" Suppose he can decline
a Latin verb and name 10 plants In
digenous to Oregon soil, possibly re
cite a German poem and tell when
Carthage was destroyed, how much
In wages will this knowledge bring
him? By comparison, suppose he can
handle a saw mill in a skillful man
ner, lay brick properly, or do that i
class of work will his knowledge of
tools and their uses affect his earn-,
lug capacity? The answer Is obvious !
We spend thousands of dollurs an-;
nually educating, boys to what pur-i
pose? Largely so that they can re-!
peat a few lines of "Evangeline and
name the Inventor of the cotton gin.
How many boys naturally adapted to
the proper use of tools have had any
education along the useful lines In
the Rosebufg schools?
The average girl of these later days
nan make fudge, translate a s few
French phrases, and wlrte a gradu
ating essay on the subject of "the
economic value of the Panama Canal"
but mighty few of them can make an
outfit of clothes for the whole fam
ily, or even broil a beef steak In an
artfatic manner. How would you like
to eat a whole panful of biscuits made
by the average high school girl gradu
ate? HImmel. The writer once upon

a time could classify the whole ani
mal kingdom, analyze , a dandelion,
locate the TonBtellatlon of Taurus,
j and give more dates in history than
he ever made with his girl, but after
25 years of "real life" fails to see
the object of his being compelled to
oasemble any such array of knowl
edge. A very brief dally lesson in
the proper use of tools would have
been many thousand times more val
uable. One year 12 young people
graduated from a certain high school,
and Inquiry developed that 10 of
them were working In a cannery the
next VH along side ofv dozens of
others who could not boast even a
griunmer school education. Tile mar-'
ket Tor Latin verbs and Trench
proverbs Is over-stocked, but tho de
mand for skillful young men In the
trades and for educated nnd trained
house keepers and home nmkers in
the homes is far from supplied. Why
not educate our children Instead of
veneer them yith a smattering of
useless information?

NOT WORTH OPENING."
Can't you imagine some wantt. ads being
really worth more to you than any telegram or
registered letter you have received in n year
or that you arc apt to receive in the year to
come? ,
Are you not able to imagine how some want
ad of four or five lines of type, may if investi
gated and followed upinfluence the whole trend
of your life? Some opportunity for work, for
buying or selling, or for investment may have
such far-reaching results for you as to shape
and direct your comings and goings, your prof

Is it not DEEPLY WORTH "WHILE TO
