R08SBURQ, OREGON, MONDAY, JANUARY 29, 1923. CHOICE OF STUDY A high school principal in a recent address complained that too many children in his school tended to select classical studies. He believed the majority of pupils should take more practical branches, and that there is not demand enough for classically trained young people to absorb all who are taking the form of education. Yet in other cities one hears how the great majority of the students are choosing business studies, and going in for book-keeping, stenography and type-writing. The chances are that both of these fields of effort aro being somewhat overdone. There is a limit to the number of professional men and women that are needed. The great majority of young people must go into commercial, factory or farm work. And yet too many young people are studying clerical branches and not enough are going in for manual and technical skill. The world needs more skilled artisans and farmers, but it probably has all the book-keepers and typists that it needs. Classical education is superior in one way, since it gives young people a broad intelligence, which tends to make them good citizens . The great need today seems to be for scientific studies that shall make young people close observers of the facts of daily life, and manual skill that shall make them in . genious and efficient in doing all kinds of practical work. The ; if to that can be added general training in history and civics, m that young folks shall grow up intelligent citizens, a form of edu cation has been attained that will meet the need of millions ol young folks. The city of Oak Park, Illinois, recently did an interesting thing in giving Its children instruction in municipal affairs. About 2000 of them were taken to the municipal building, where thoy attended classes in municipal affairs. Heads t c the various de partments addressed these young people, telling them about their work, and offering suggestions as to how children could be of use in city affairs. The results are considered so good that it is planned to make such instruction a yearly event. By such means or somo other plan working toward the same end, the effort should be made to arouse the interest of children in public affairs. They need to realize that they can not get the best out of life, unless they have good schools, ronds, health services, police work, etc. Their bright young minds should be set to working on these problems at an early age. o Well, the suppt itioii is that the state legislature will get down to business this week and put over some constructive legis lation during the next twenty days. With the session half gone there is little time left for quibbling and if somo real, good work is to bo accomplished for the state the "boys" will have to hurry. o Wasn't that a beautiful blanket of snow that covered the Umpqua Valley Sunday morning and today? Talk about real winter weather, with all the trimmings, we certainly had a fine ( cample during the past two days. It just goes to show that this old valley can deliver the goods at the most opportune time. o We are beginning to wonder what Senator Hall's consolidation bill will look like when it gets the various proposed amendments attached to it. It will probably need a set of false teeth to make it effective. These are great times of efficiency when a fellow can graduate from a bootlegger to a law-enforcement officer. The coal and wood man will now have his inning. Pear Folks : In my box of priceless treasures are two thinirs I'd lmt. to lose, for there's much of inspiration in my worn-out baby shoes. They aremall and scarred and dingy, showing signs of wear ami tear in the days when 1 was romping through the world without a care. Iiut they bring thoughts of my Mother and of what she hovi! I'd le, when I used to snuggle t losely i Hr arms upon lu-r knee. When she dreamed of what the future would bestow upon hrr son just as soon as days of labor txk the place of days of fun. I can see her now as clearly as I did so long ago, vlion slir struggled hard to start me in the way that I should go. Full tl faith, and love, and patience she was ever by my side, and her face was alway s smilinjr with a look of tender pride. On a pedes tal she placed me and she fought to keep me there. Kvery o vi of strength she gave me though she had no strength to spare, lor she planned through happy hours as a Mother only can, on the things that I'd accomplish when I grew up to a i n. It's the memory of a Mother and her inspi ation bo, that have guided men to action in the things they ought to do. What a world 'twould le to live in if our Mothers could but sv in our selves the men and women they had hoped and prayed we'd be. Cordially yours T. V. K.

Quite a few of the boys were out State Press Comment THE WAV TO ItKM'fH Of the score or more tai reduction proposals which liava bva poured into both houses of the legislature this session, there are but two which, if enacted 111 make any preemptible inroad upon the cost of state, county and eity government. There are proposals before both houses which would llfhten the tax burden on real orotierty by tapping new sources of revenue, and there are those which would lop off a few dollars here and a few dollars there. The income and aeverance tax pro nnaala do not contemplate a reduc tion in taxes; they aim at a redis tribution of tha burden. Hut the bills which hare been introduced by Senator Dennis of Vnlon county ana Representative Camner of Gilliam Sherman nnd Wheeler counties, aim to accomplish In a general way what the legislature has been Instrueted to do at this session by the voters. Senator Dennis proposes that the taxes levied during the years ivts nnd 1924 by all of the (ax levying bodies of the state, counties ana municipalities, be reduced a flat 10 per cent, the reductions to be based ou the 1922 levies In trie same tax lne units. In order that there may be no question as to the constitu tionality of such legislation, lories to meet sinking fund or interest re quirements on bond issues and for the payment of salaries of constitu tionally created offices are ex empted. What such legislation would mean in the matter of directly reducing taxes can be gleaned from the cal culation that Its application to Mult nomah county alone would result in a reduction of salaries of all TODAY'S MARKET HEPCRT wearing tn.ir army l""' state employees, without discrimlna- whlch have lately been mado the ,. . tho n.. le nrevalent . r-j w hornet for moths Inatead of cootiea. ft r.iitt'Mm r-anMAM u. j itienn those who ree'd a volley of anowballe In thei strong arguments being advanced In prior to January 1, 1919.

January 27th, when, at the Invitation of a group of ladies, the Interested members of the classes of '22, '23, '24, and '26 met and organized a Dancing Club. The lofflcers elected were Miss Mary Reams, president; Mr Phil Singleton, vice-president; and Miss Rostna Porter, secretary-treasurer. The Club voted to admit to membership the alumni of the classes of '20 and '21 as well as those of '22. The alumni of these three classes will be welcome to tha next Club party which will be on Saturday, February 10th. ilfter the business of organiza tion waa completed, the remainder of the evening was spent In dancing.'
