not only the introduction of man

and agriculture into the course,
but the reconstruction of the
method and material of such
branches as geography, history,
arithmatic and language, with a
view to their practical application
to the life of the present. In
other words, the schools must
prepare their pupils for practical
efficiency in the ordinary voca

majority must earn their living.

vision for the "new .education."
Educators have recognized for
years that the course of study in
the elementary and high schools
has been constructed and ad
ministered with the idea that all
children would enter institutions
of higher aducation after com
pletion of the common school
course. As a matter of fact,
less than ten per cent of the
children who finish the element
ary school enter the high school,
and less than five per cent go to
the higher institutions. 1

The city council held another
special session last night and
this ordered plans and specifica
tions for paving Jefferson street
from Third to the city limits,
the street at the rear of the
O. A. C. Armory. This action
was taken in response to a peti
tion from a majority of property
holders owning or having in
charge a majority of the foot
frontage, as follows;
J. W, Foster, E. D. Jackson,
J. M. Nolan, H. S. Pernot, A. J.

church, J. A. Bexell and N. R.
Moore." Others in favor who
have not yet signed are . said to
be Gustav Harding, Masonic
Lodge which owns the Manuell
Knight property, and Mrs. Etta
Lee.
Thus is the paving idea bound
ing along at a merry rate. A
few days ago steps preliminary
to the paving of Second street
were taken and on Mondav
night a petition for the paving
of Washington street to the
Union Station was acted on fav
orably. Paving arranged for to
date reaches a total of about 30
blocks. Enthusiasts on Monroe
are circulating a petition for the
paving of that street to the city
limits, and it is confidently ex
pected that a majority of the
property owners on Madison
will send in a request. This
would make a grand total of
from 50 to 55 blocks of street
paving to be contracted this fall.
It is not expected that a great
proportion of this paving could
be done this year, but Second
street can probably be finished
and matters so arranged that
work may .begin again in the
spring. The greater, the con
tract let the cheaper the paving
can be secured. The council has
no disposition to force paving
where a majority do not want
it, but is inclined to grant all peti
tions for paving.
Hassam Man Here
A Mr. Lewis, representative
of the firm laying the Hassam
paving, was before the council
last night" On Monday night
a bitulithic "man extalled the
virtues of that sort of paving
and last night the details of
Hassam were gone into; Mr.
Lewis showed the method of
construction and presented
some phQtos of Hassam streets
throughout the U. S.
The council adjourned to meet
next Saturday evening.
Mr. Nolan was out at seven
o'clock this morning as usual tak
ing his early walk. He and his
family leave for Corvallis today.
Prof. E. F. Pernot is quite ill
again with his old attack of asth
ma and pleurisy. He has been
confined to his bed for the past
two days. "
Quite a number of the Corval
lis ladies have formed a sewing
circle here, and they go to beach,
gather around the big "logs and
sew and converse during the afternoon.
Jolly crowds from Corvallis
have been making trips to the
Devil's Punch Bowl and the
light-house and have been on
numerous fishing excursions.
Mrs. John Senger leaves here
for her home in Corvallis today,

R. S. Showers, living near
Blodgett, met with an accident
yesterday morning that came
near having a fatal termination.
While leading a big, full blooded
Jersey bull out to the pasture the
animal, which had always proven
most tractable, suddenly and un
expectedly attacked him, throw-
ing him to the ground and at
tempted to gore hnn, while at,
the same time trampling him
with its sharp hoofs.
Bv an almost superhuman ef . -
fort Mr. Showers managed to es

and to climb over a nearby fence
before the bull could again reach
him, Overcome by his injuries
and the.terrible struggle he had
undergone, Mr. Showers collap
sed and when found by his wife
and some neighbors, who had
heard his cries for help when
the bull attacked him, he was un
conscious and covered with blood
from his wounds.
He was at first thought to be
fatally injured, but upon being
carried to the house and cared
for he revived and when Dr. J.
