THCSWirTPCifC CO., AiUUiTM3 GA, state university. Whitman College, to Drake University. What it the reason? It it not hard to find. I suspect that there is not a school board in all Oregon thai wouia not pay more to a superin tendent or principal who was a graduate of oar state university than to one who was a graduate of on of our normal schools. Would any body prefer for a doctor one who had graduated at a uni versity to one who had graduated at a medical school? I trow not. Fellow teachers, fellow normal graduate, don't you see how low we have fallen? Is it not humiliation enough that such a senti ment should be abroad in the country with out the added humiliation of knowing that here is justificatiot for it? 1 noticed in the newspapers Mut in the next legisla ture an effort will be made to have a law passed compelling all teachers in the state to hold normal diplomas. My ad vice is "Don't do it." Don't try to compel the people to buy your wares until you have something to offer. Better expend the same amount of energy and effort in raising the standard of our normal schools. These are not the most popular institutions in Oregon at the present time and it would be foolish to bring on another ap plication of the referendum. Several re cent editorials in the Portland dailies up on this subject have amused me and yet I have felt as if I were almost guilty of sacrilege in smiling. One argument ad vanced against requiring all teachers to hold normal diplomas was such a law would prevent many worthy boys and girls from earning a living by teaching. Shades of the great Horace Mann! Do these all-knowing editors imagine that our schools are to be places for people to make a living? Are ignorant quacks to be allowed to experiment upon onr child ren until they learn something of teaching? Have these editors no better conception of teaching than that? And yet gentle men and ladies, is not this opinion of our work pretty general? Are noc all our schools, from the universities down to the humblest district school, too often regard ed by those in authority simply as places in whi;h impecunious friends and rela tives may find employment? Another argument advanced was that Mr. Rigler. city superintendent of the schools of Portland had said, "Many of my best teachers never attended a nor mal school." No one will dispute the truth of Mr. Rigler's statement. We all know from experience that it is absolutely correct. But what is the import of such statement? It is simply this. Ournormal schools are doing the work that they should do. Would any body ever dream of finding the best doctors among those who never attended a medical school? If our sciiools did their duty nobody could hope to be the peer of a normal graduate in teaching. There was a time in which quacks without professional training were allowed to practice medicine but the pro duct of the medical schools soon became su much superior to the home-manufactured article that every state in the Union passed laws eliminating the quack. Let the normal schools furnish tte proper article and they will not need to ask the legislature to put a premium on their pro duct. It might be well to say that this is not intended as a criticism of those diroctly in charge of our normal schools. In their eagerness tojget students they may not have kept the bars as many rails high as they should, but the fault is in the legis lature. It must provide for a more ex tended course in our normal schools if we are to have one. I have brought this subject to your attention because it is more likely that at the coming session of the legislature the law in regard to normal j schools will be changed. The recent re ferendum has brought the sutject to the attention of our people and if as a result there shall come a higher standard for our normal schools we should rejoice. As teachers we aie vitally interested in this question. If we are anxious for the elevation of our profession; if we desire better pay for our work; if the future of the schools of our state is of importance to us. if the educational fare of the boys and girls of Oregoc. lies near our hearts, let us do what we can to influence the coming legisUi"n upon tM ubject.

AMUSEMENT j TONIGHT Faith, that giant stronghold of the Christian belief, is eloquently upheld in Wilson Baretl's intensely dramatic work, "The Sign of the Cross." The devotion and heroism of the early Christians under the wanton cruelty and persecution of the Emperor Nero in Rome is presented with such striking realism in this play, which brot it at its first produc- 4 1 ill ,! - V, j f . rr --SB, f it c tion at once to the notice of clergy, church people and students of religion. It has had for the years of its enormous success the voice of the pulpit at its strongest advocate. It has had too, and still has the univer sal admiration of the theater gomgbhedn. There ib no play in which the triumph of right over wrong is so nobly expressed. The story plays upon all the emotinr- and the consequence of thrilling incidents keeps the audiences in a stats of h t-h strung attention and exciterrer.t. Tre scenes of the Roman court are r ch and gorgeous in the extreme and all the costly scenes, costumes, armor ind ap pointments are presented with absolute fidelity to the requirements 0'" h stry. The original London production of " The Sign of the Cross" will be seen at S'ew ard's opera house, Tuesday. Nov. 2 7 The cast contains many prominent Eri-:,si and Americin players. MAUD FEALEY Whiie reading of Shakespear's r.e-c 'ts :f sixteen paltry years' who pcssniej all the fervor, and passion, and po se. and maternity of modern forty, the t ine a-d environment are taken into acco.int. tut there is of necessity much of intere-t in a s.xteen year old girl of today who ca r. play Juliet with success before an A'rer ican audience. Th.s is what ,'.:ud Fei" has dune and a'tho her playing o' S 'ar ts pear's heroine was presented a ln-.nr. ago, she has done much of vale n htr work since. She has btan taair woman with Irving, and is now nr:,ca.! n: in a modern comedy and is a i ;n a.l vne of the most interesting young :r.e.i or, tbe stage. LEAVES A GOOD TASTE.
