It is to be hoped that the approaching
examination wiil reveal clearly and in no
uncanain lermsio cnoss wio are exam
ined, tne urgent and press in need of
be.ng firmly grounded in tne rudiments of
a common school education. Some of our
pupils who are in pursuit of a common
school education, will later find that it is
meeed very common. Five c five and
one half hours at school with little or no
thought on studies is not sufficentto give
a child even a common education. Those
who do the best work at school and there
are many are those whose minds dwell
upon their work, their futur and th
serious things of life, when out of school.
These are the people who could act as
leaven and leaven the whole lump. And
it is because of this fact, in a large meas
ure at least, that cause people to say
that the product of the public school is in
many cases incompetent. It is said that
tney do not know the practical things,
that is have hot the ability to compute.
think out every day problems and so on.
We hold that a boy before entering' high
school should be able to do the following:
Wr.te a legible hand.
Spell all words in every day use.
' Speak and write correct English.
CSmpos an interesting social letter.
tempos and writ a pointed, correct
business letter. i
Add correctly and rapidly a column of
figures. '
Make and compute the amount of an
ordinary store bill.
Deduct a given percent from the face
of it.
Write a receipt, or rece;pt a bill. ,
Write without misspelling, an "ad" for
a local paper. ,
Writs a promissory not, and compute
interest or discount for days, months or
years.
f Draw an ordinary bank -check, and
know what to do with it to get it cashed.
Mafce neat and correct entrtss in a day
book or ledger.
Compute accurately the yards of carpet
requ'red for a room.
Compute accurately measurements In
lumber and word.
Compute the bushuls of grain, or gal
Inns of liquid in a gjven space, and the
value thereof at current prices.
Compute the cost of 7850 lbs, of coal
at current rates. '
Talk intelligently about the most well
known subjects in current events, politics
h.story, literature and science.
Some time ago when a trial was made
in the high school, it was found that only
eleven could, (or did, which i th tame
uungt solve a prhblem in simple interest,
and perhaps six could solve a common
store-keeper's bill with a few fractions
involved therein. Some of these in the
h'gh school and grades are wiser than we
older ones, and undertake to show us that
tney can be up late at night, abuse their
stomachs and nerves freely and still be
in1 full possession of their faculties, . each
day at school. Every business ,man in
this city who employt young men, ' young
women, boys or girls, knows that this is
not so. yet some of our mammas and
papas have allowed the child to rule in
this matter, and allow the child to treat
the school work lightly as a pastime, thus
preparing the way for Incompetency in
after life. The boy who feels that he
must "keep up"' with his fellows, and
move at a swift pace, in th matter of
smoking, spending money and having t
"time" generally, is on the wrong track,
and it is the mission of the school and
ths parent to side-track him if it is poss
ible to do so. The young man in the city
of La Grande who gets the sleep his sys
tem needs, ' is temperate in hi habits,
steady trustworthy worker, lives within
his means, and shows up for work every
morning with a clear eye and healthy ac
tive body and brain, is the man the busi
ness and professional men of La Grande
are looking for. They want employees
whom they can absolutely trust, and who
can throw a strong personality into the
business. They have worked hard them
selves for a business start, and when they
wish to lay off some of their burdens
they demand the reliable and safe young
persons, who in the days of youth have
not sold their birth-right for a mess of
pottage. They demand the young person,
who in school life has shown a high pur
pose and a devot o.i to du'.y. T ie index
ible legic of history teaches us that every
leader in any phase of human achieve'
ment was successful because of devotion
to duty, and because he at some time in
his life made a preparation for success by
incessant toil. The period of life which
the child spends in school, while it is
fraught with manifold opportunities is al
so a period of choices. When thi parent
does not insist on controlling these choices
the child may and often does choose the
easier and wrong way a way in the end
vastly more costly. There are in every
suh.o! room of the La Grande school;
from th lower grades to the last year of'
the high school, children who are leaders
in the making. And what is the reason
for this fact? These children have rass
ed this psriod of choices, and either alone
or by th insistent aid of :he parent, have
chosen the harder way, knowing full well
at this youthful age, that there is no royal
road to lofty achievemtn . With many of
lho;n th great 'quss'.io.i o' success or
failure in life has come up for considera
tion, and has been decided in favor of
success. At home they study. Their
parente tee to this. These young people
have chosen to avail themselves of ths
training which the state provides for thi
child, and they are willing and able to
pay the price of years of struggle and
toil. They are dreaming dreams and see
ing visions of the future, and have chosen
the only way by which these may ever be
realized, namely, by tread ng the path
way ot struggle rather than some easier
way. Ye verily, success or failure is a
matter of choice and some choose to be
come hewers of wood and drawers of
water.

PHIOIIOII
As has been announced previously, the
coming mid-year examination is the last
that will be held as mid-year promotions
have been abolished by action of the
school board. That the manner of trans
ition from the semi-annual to annual pro
motions may be clear, the following state
ments are made. , Each teacher beginning
in the fall will teach one camp'ete year of
school work until June. No classes will
be started in the middle of the vear.
Each child will study (if he is regular)
one year of work under the same teacher.
At the June promotions those who are at
that time (June) promoted so at to enter
what is now B, or low grade work in the
fall, will be regular and for such there
Will k.'.A ... J'
... w - i,.uiiMik nuu, fur All
others there will be a readjustment. By
examination or by investigation of past
records of grades mad by each pupil, it
will be determined whether he may be
conditioned and be allowed to enter th
class next higher, or whether he will be
held to enter th B work of the grade he
is then (June) in, when he begins school
in the fall. If he is required to do this
latter he wiil be put forward at any time
in the year that an examination shows
him to be qualified to enter the next high
er grade. No child, who is a real worker,
who is interested in his work and who has
a reasonably high degree of capability,
will be kept in a lower grade than he is
qualified to work in with reasonable
work, A searciing. rigid, but entirely
fair examination wiil be the means to de
termine the ability of the child to carry
th work of th next higher grade. There
will no longer be any A-class or B-class.
In the fall every child in the city will be
gin a year of work which will be complet
ed in June if he is punctual and regular in
attendance until the close of the year.
It will not be possible for a child to begin
a year of study at the middle point of the
school year, because no c'asses will begin
at that time. Yet a child may enter
school at any time of the year and find
work suitab'e to his advancement, which
may be pursued wan profit. This ar
rangement will ,?t sj.Tie bjck a half year
in their worV, !i is true, But tiws who
wil' "jj thus afTected will be bettered by
it. And those who are hard workers, apt
in t.-ieir worn, and do more or less horn
stuiy, having parents who are in lym-
pa-.ny wnn meir worn, win gam, hair a
year, In all this it is our aim to secure
tne nignest possible efficiency in the
school work, and make the organization,
development and growth of the LaGrande
schools commensurate With the growth of

THE NEW Yt)RK PRESS SAYS
usieopamy, me arugiess science in
meaicine, is oniy is only about 1 0 year
old. The word is not even in the Century
Dictionary, edition of 1895.' Its practice
is going hand in hand with bloodless sur
gery, so in time we may expect to be
cured without pills and without the knife.
Some principles are: "Health means
perfect physical adjustment of all parts;"
health is natural; disease and death, be
tween th time of birth and old age, are
unnatural"; '"All bodily disorders are the
result of mechanical obstruction to the
free circulation of vital fluids and forces."
The characteristic generalization of Oste
opathy in a nutshell is: "Most diseases of
spinal origin."
If you wish to learn whsther Osteop
athy can acomplish something for you or
for on of your friends, tak th sensible
course and go to the Osteopath. He wiil
