OUR GRAND OPENING of last
Goods, everything in Ready-to-Wear
The need of a new high school
building In La Grande has been the
absorbing topic among parents of the
city for some time, and has also been
tho subject for many theses in thi
high school rhetoric classes. Follow
ing is one of the papers on this sub
Ject, which was prepared by Mlxs
Lillian linker of the high school:

need of a new high school building
boy op el a doubt by any one hnvlnr
looked Into the matter. In the firs'
place, the building now occupied
could never have been Intended for r.
high school. The rooms are arranger
as the rooms of any grammar school
and four of these on the lower floor
complete the dignity of the hlg
school. These rooms are small, th
largest one having a stating capacity
or only 4S. Tho other three roomr
Hie very smnll. one being the library
filled with tables and chairs for tin
benefit of the commercial students.
While classes are reciting, suii"ient
are trying to study In the same room
Take, for Instance, If an American
literature class was reciting, and the
were discussing sump prominent Amer
ican author, In whom the student vu:
Interested, would not the pupil, n.
matter how he tried to concentrate hi:
mind on his work, become Interested
anil forget his own study entirely? If
there were recitation rooms when
there was nothing but words or ob-

Jects pertaining to the subject to be
studied, the results would be much
better. Not only is a pupil at a great
disadvantage, but the teacher as well.
Ho Is compelled to divide his attention
between his class and those who are
In the room. If he had the class alone
could he not cover more ground and
explain subjects much more thorough
ly?
There Is no laboratory for the pur
suit of scientific studies. A student
could derive three times the knowl
edge If he had the apparatus with
which to work and not merely a text
book. Take the library. It Is true, there
are rows upon rows of good books,
but where are they. They are cooped
up In one corner of a small room,
stuffed with two tables, surrounded by
chairs, occupied by commercial stu
dents until it Is Impossible to get a
glimpse of it. The students are not
allowed to enter this room for books,
for fear of disturbing the classes.
They must choose their books by titles
from a catalog, hand In the number
on a slip of paper and the books are
handed out to them. But how often
ire they disappointed, for one chooses
Trom the binding and print of a book,
.is well as a title.
La Grande has a Booster club. If
they wish to bring a class of Immi
grants that will be a credit to the
town, what will be demanded of them?
The water system and the educational
ulvantages are among the first ques
tions that are asked. What advan
tages can we show the newcomer
along this line? The water system Is
not to be discussed here. The present
high school Is the only place of higher
education in La Grande. Is it such
that the people wish to offer as an ad
vantage? I think I am safe In saying
It Is not. With a population upwards
of 6000. why cannot we show our ad
vancement along this line as well as
others, and have a high school of
which La Grande, as well at the sur
rounding country may be Justly proud?

PRIMARIES
New Tork, March 81. Primaries of
the republican, democratic. Indepen
dence league, prohibition and socialist
parties are being held this afternoon
throughout New Tork states. The pri
mary polling places were opened at 2
o clock and will remain open until .
Delegates will be elected to the as
sembly district conventions, those of
the democrats, to be held In this coun
ty on April S. while the conventions of
the republicans will be held on April
7. The republican state convention
will be held April 11. in Carnegie
hall, and the democratic state conven
tion on April 14. at the same place.
The state convention of Hearst's Dartv
the Independence league will be
held here on May 2.
Greatest Interest In today's primar
ies centers in the attempt ex-Governor
Odell has been making In this city to
wrest the control of the local repub
lican organization from Herbert Par
sons. Followers of Parsons are at-
lemntln. to mI1
the Intrusion of the Newburg politician
with prospects of success. Efforts to
elect true Hughes delegates at the pri
maries In the Twenty-ninth assembly
district have precipitated a bitter fight
between the Hammond-Parsons fac
tion and the men who want the dele
gates to be for Hughes from sturt to
finish. -
All la apparently peaceful In . the
democratic camp, with Tammany In
full control of the situation. Leader
Murphy has gone on record for an un
Instructed delegation to the Denver
convention, and the delegates selected
In today's primaries will probably re
flect this sentiment.
