School DlreuntrN, Attention.
Those Interested In the public
chols of this city (and anyone who
is not so Interested should leave) will
rejoice to know thut Superintendent
Churchill has finally accomplished
what he has long hoped to do plac
Ing a course of manual training In the
schools. .
In this day of modern education no
chool Is complete without the manual
training, and It U a credit and an
honor to this city, Its board of educa
tion, and Its general population, to
approve of Mr. Churchill's recom
mendation In this matter.
The fact that Baker Is the second
city In the state to adorit th mnai
training, Portland being first, Is proof
k us merit, and also proof of the fact
mat this city lets nothlna remain
done that will aid In training the
cniia ror some Important part In the
world's work.
In selecting Prof. J. N. McNeil In
. struotor of the new course, there hns
been wisdom displayed, for Prof. Mc
Neil has made manual training n
clalty and ranks among the real first
Class instructor, of that lino of work
m trie inlted States. Were this not
true It Is hardly likely that such men
ror. Harvey, who Pleads no
tlonal educatlnnnl association, would
recommend him to SiinerlntnnH.
Churchill, as a man fitted and capable
i "tart the work In eastern Oregon's
mr.r..poiis. He Is also highly recom
mended by Oregon's state superintend
ent of public Instruction.
As has been stnted before In this
paper, the gymnasium will be used
for the training department and It
111 be fitted with eelctrlo power, tools
of different kinds and all accessories
needful for the work. In using the
, "gym" economy has been adopted,
which Is all right until the work gets
fairly on Its feet. After Baker has
had the manual training department
Working for two years. th,.r -Mi i...
nothing In reason that the department
nmy aK Tor that It will not get.
Fathers and mothers will notice with
much satisfaction a new Interest
Prlnglng up In the hearts of their
boys for school work, and especially
for the manual training department.
. nen some of the product that have
iii.mMisciurert In the Maker
schools are taken to the home of the
children who, with their own hands
made them, no price could be named
mat would cause parents n r,.-..
removal of those products from the
nome.
The mechanical drawing which will
U taught Is also something of great
Importance lo all hovs who have a
desire of entering civil or eloctrlcal
nglneerlng. and these two profes
Ions are calling some of the brlght
t minds In the land today, ake It
, a whole. Prof. Churchill has added
another Jewel to hi. crown as a thor
ough and competent school m,ni by
keeping constantly at It until he has
witnessed a manual training depart
ment In the schools of this city. Ba

Don't Ml the Maws Meeting.
Do not miss an opportunity to In
form everybody of the mass meeting
to be held here Saturday evening to
talk over the Irrigation project. . This
is ,one of the biggest undertakings
every attempted In Union county. It
Is not, kir should not be the most dif
ficult. It should be one of the easiest
projects ever secured, and we believe
it will he, but it is something that
must be talked over from Its various
standpoints. The more It Is Intelli
gently discussed, the easier It will be
accomplished. '
Water would subdivide the oreaent
large holdings. This would mean but
ter rurul social conditions, better
schools, better roads and better homes.

In tho circuit court today when the
case of Mrs. Eliza Nodlne against W.

ever, It was not a hearing In techni

by Attorneys Cochran & Cochran for

the plaintiff. Messrs Lomax A An.
