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.

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.

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

old valley can deliver the goods at the most opportune time.

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.

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.

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

One of the prettiest parties of the
season was held at the K. of P. Hall
on Saturday evening. 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.' A favor dance In which
the caps featured made the floor a

orange and black which were artis
