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.
