THURSDAY EVENING JUNE 16. 1904
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
j The Ohaerver received Wed-
I nesday morning by mail the
I annual oniuiogue ui u Agri
cultural College of the state of
! Oregon for 1903-04.
I This institution is located at
Corvallie, Benton County, and
baa been in operation sixteen
years; commencing with 97
students in 1888, and eloiing
the last term in 1904 with 630
students. .... . , -.
: This college gives to the vouth
of Oregon - an opportunity to
receive a good education, largely
at the expense of the state, and
in addition to opening the way
for the young men and women
to receive an education, it keeps
a number of learned men and
women and special experts
constantly working on the
experimental farm near Corvallis
on which about 100 acres are
devoted to scientific and experi
mental farming fur the benefit of
tbe older p rtion of 'he people.
On this farm improved breeds
of all kinds of domestic an raals
are tested, and grains, grasees
uud vegetables of all kinds ere
grown, results noted, published
and sent out to all who requeut.
' The history of this state school
begins. "By an ait of congress,
approved by president Lincoln,
July 2, 1862 a grant of land was
made to each state iu the union
in the amonutof 30,000 acres, or
its equivolnnt, for each U. S
N a V FAIT
Company.
Banator and Reperseiitativi- t
which the state was entitl- d bv
tbe census of 1860. This gve
Oregon 90,000 acres. It will be
recalled that President Lincoln,
on Hay 26, 1862, 42 days before,
bad offered hi signature to the
Homestead law, a lav that creat
ed the opportunity for million?
of homeless people to securf
homes. Following the gift of
a homestead came an eodowmeu i
for a school for the homesteaders
children.
Every county in the state wt
; represented this tchool year of
the total a tendance of 53 i
students, 483 were from Oregon',
the residue were 3 from England
4 from Calif, 1 from Colorado, 5
from Illinois, 6 f otn Iowa. 2
from Mo , 7 from Nebraska, 2
from Utah and 18 from Wash
ington. : At the recent graduation
exeicises at the Weston State
Normal the graduating class
consisted of ten girls and not
a single boy. This would go to
show that tbe boys in this normal
district are not thinking , very
strongly of . becoming teachers.
There must be a reason for this.
It would seem that the profes
sion of teaching is to be turnr d
over to the woman of the lend
and that the men are looking to
other things for au ocoupatior.
The reason is plain. The wag s
paid to teachers iu this state is
not sufficient to tempt the men.
They figure that they cannot
ffprd to in nke a life work of
teaching when tb're is co pro.
spect of receiving a rewurd
sufficient to justify tlio effort. If
Oregon wants men teachers she
must pay better wages.
Tbe pavement recieotly placed
in. front of Hills drug store is
certainly a good example of this
kind of side walk, and Mr,
Gardners example should be
followed by others. In fact the
city should pass an ordiance
prohibiting the building of any
more plank walks in the busi
ness district. The cement pave
meut is a litt'e more expensive
at the start but not so in the
long run, La Grande has out
grown the age of paths and
plank walks and it is time to call
a halt to construction of any
more such relics of "ye olden
times."
-fhe county seat will help some
but we have many opportunities
undeveloped that if we would
spend one half the energy and
one fraction of the money spent
on the county seat, would build
our city much faster. One thing
at a time is a good idea We
have now secured the county
seat. INow let us bend our
energies towards enterprises that
will furnish a market for our
resources and cieate a demand
for labor in their manufacture,
