(e r II ee, OUR CdMHON SCHOOLS The Observes! is glad to noU that an eftVwt kt being made by our state super intendent of public schoo's to remodel the course of study therein, and put the taathcri to work instructing the children. more than at present, abo jt that which will be not only interesting but useful in life work. We want to educaU our children, not as dreamers or imitators t f a long dead civilization, but so that when they leave school they will have their minds stored with facts that are useful to know, and wilt qualify them to enter upon the everyday duties of home fife with intelligence and enthusiasm. In addition to facts their mental iawnt should have, the habit well established of observ ing the things about them and the relation the one bears to all others; ani hw the elements earth, air. sunshine and water ean best be made to contribute to man,s wants and comfort; also how the forces of nature can best be directed by man. with mechanical co.itrivance tn u human labor in providing the homes of the people with ail the requisites of modern taste and requirement. Our schoolmen talk much about science. but with an air of mystery that appals the child and leads it to look upon science as a great mysterious something that is exclusively kept in guarded vaults of the great universities by austere-professors as were the secrets of ancient creeds held in crypts. Let us dissolve this veil of obscuration that has been spread over science, bv giving the definition given it by a practi cal farmer who has won fame and power. Secretary o Agricultrr Wilson. He says. "Science is human observation re duced and rendered child who observes the - things about it is doing scientific work. . This is an agricultural county, the soil is a reservoir of wealth f rom which our home comforts are directly or' indirectly drawn. What assistance .does our com mon school course give a child to tap this store of riches? What does our common schools teach' our children about how plants grow, and ripen or whai elements they draw from earth, in doing o? Our present test books give our children no hint as to how to make a good durable country road, or how much more a pair of horses can draw, over a good country road than on a poorly graded and finished one. Oar text .books give our children no suggestion as to how to find out the best way to prepare the gathered crop for market A farmer's child leaves school to go borne and work with a variety oi maenmes. ana what has it teamed at school about the forces that drive these machines, or how to most economically and profitably manage them. The list of things not taught, that if taught, would prepare the children for their life work could be extenced greatly. We predict that the records of real estate transfers for 1906 will equal the combined sales of 1904 and IdOS. - Many of the stores are -tri- '.begin ning to take on ahoBday a'p.irance. There will be an unusually Jarg. irfioay trade this year. .... The railroad activity in 'the north end of the valley will result in patting into circu lation, in Union county, thousands " of dollars during the winter and next spring Nineteen hundred six promises to be a banner year of prosperity for La Grande and Union county. Already the retards are beginning to show an increase in real estate transfers. During the summer months of this year everything was Lewis and Clark fair. Many in this citv d.f.rr-.i building until next year, consequently all of the -planing mills are preparing for a busy season in the spring.
