STATU C1!X)I, Ql'MITIOX. X Ixwal AUormny IImo rrrplcxiug Vamtioa la Del all. La Grande, March 11. (Editor' of Observer.) The recent drsstlo treat ment of the Normal school quostlou by the legUluture haa left the subject la a rather unsatisfactory condition, and settles nothing unless it be this, that the people of the atate have de termined to aubmit no longer to the "logrolling?., ;h(MnMi.. jC. .v-. 4la.)nwtl- Ulea ni Individuals to maintain high schools at the expense of the taxpay ers of the Ut at large, under the guise of State Mornial schools to train grammar grade teachers. ' , The public school system Is main tained by the state on the principle that society at, largo 1 benefited by having Its future citizens, educated and enlightened thereby advancing the moral and Intellectual standing of the community and. benefiting all the peo ple, rather than that the Individual IS to be paid a debt belonging to him from the public, or put on the road to personal success. This being true, the duty of the state is to so shape Us ed ucational system that the greatest good shall be done to the greatest number, and the flint and paramount duty Is to see that every, boy and girl become proficient and be properly trained in such subjects as will best fit them to be useful cltlr.ens, and this has given growth to the free grammar grade school system of, the country. -, Jt la hotter for the government to support good grammar schools and no colle giate Institutions, than to have, poor grammar schools and colleges at pub lic expense for the limited few, T!in ta a difference of opinion as to the ex tent tho state Should go In .'affording higher and technical . education free to the young, but whether such train ing best conserves the public gooa, or Is, simply a gift to., .the .taxpayer to the Individual for his exclusive be;nef.it, It is practically agreed by all the states that it Is the duty of the state to sup port the three classes of , public schools, grammar grades, high schools and a collego, or stute university, and no one wants to ee Oregon lng behind the other slates In these matters! The higher education being upheld on the Assumption that while, a comparative few enjoy such advantages, yet the greater efficiency for public good ac quired by. the-Individual Justifies the public expenditure for collegiate and technical training, especially for that training which is used for upbuilding others and increasing the. natural wealth of the state, such as teaching and cultivation of the soil." ,.'t- The chief cause of complaint seem to he the attempt to duplicate at state expense the high school and grammar stehool work In the Normal schools and the Agricultural college, which arc supported by the taxpayers for the purpose of tnjining teachers to teach In the lower grade schools and far mers and machinists, while the school districts and counties which support high schools, are also compelled to pay their proportion of .Hie cost of maintaining thpse state schools, du plicating the high school work. ' There Is no reason why the Normal work done In the Normal schools of Oregon, and a large portion of the work done In the Agricultural college should not be done In the local high schools of the state at homo! and the money taken away kept at home, and the support and energy of the young people turned toward upbuilding the home institution; for It Is a well known fact that a iarge part of school studies ,some even In , the grammar grades, and that fney do not go to these institutions for pursuing the courses for which they are primarily maintained by the public. Many of the high schools of the state are already giving Instruction. In branches outside of the usual curricu lum, such as commercial courses, typewriting, music, eft., and it Is no more the duty of the district to main tain- such instruction so as to pre pare the pupils' for specialized pur suits of this kind, than it is to fur nish Instruction to specially prepare them for teaching and scientific agri culture of the high, school grade, and no one can say that the public at large would not be even more benefited; and every int'-lligent man knows that the average high school teacher is fully as competent to teach these things as the average Normal school teacher. Why would it not be a good plan to let each county or district decide opon'what of these subjects should be tauehf ath.-'m- In itn own fc?gh si:fcjl7 By a clean-cut clashiiication jt schools that tho district. c". . ' ' d state shall maintain. tV -; -'ib-Ject could be wonderfu --f v'lfi'd, and the disgraceful logro'i schemes occurring at each legislator avoided. If the district and cousrty, assisted by the irreducible, school fund of the state, would maintain re grammar and the high .schools, tffher with the pro femilona I and technical courses of those grades, and the state at large maintain only the collegiate grades In a college of liberal art at Eugene, a college of agriculture at Corvallls and a Normal college located somewhere In the state, all under one board of regents, without 'unnecessary duplica tions of studicn, and all requiring the equivalent of a high school course, to enter, the standing and grade of each could be Improved and expenses great ly curtailed; and last, but not ' the I leant, the spirit of .making' (hi). )mu high - school the bext- poiwlble. would be fostered, and o more cnref-.tl exam ination of Its needs given . by Its patrons.-.' finch a rlnsMi'tcatlon .' strictly adhered to would remove the Induce ment of "letting down the barx'" in or der to get number:; rather than schol arship, which numbers of the legisla ture complain of being systematically pursued by soino of these sctioo'S, so as to get larger appropriations. Tet ter schools and more economically ad ministered, Is what we want. ' Respectfully submitted, . . JXO. 8. IIODtUX.'
