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

wants and comfort; also how the forces
of nature can best be directed by man.

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

. 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

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

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
