University of Oregon; Eugene, Oct. 16 A big job in organization is ahead of Herman Tschanz, who left last week for Long Creek, Grant county, where he is to act as principal of a lew union high school that takes in sixteen districts. For the first year Mr. Tschanz will be the only teacher in school, and accordingly educational job ahead as well. The merger of the 16 districts has just been voted.

(United Press) That organized labor will have to face one of the most fiercely fought contests in its history during the ses sion of Congress which meets in De cember is the conviction of those labor men who have been watching the course of the railway managets since the passage of the Adamson bill. The indications point strongly to the acceptance by. the railroads , of . tho principle that Congress Bhall fix the wages of all railway employes, as it has fixed those of the trainmen by the Adamson bill. But having accepted that, the railroads will doubtless at tempt to induce Congress to go fur ther and to fix tho hours of labor, to abolish the mileage system of compen sation, ana make it straight time basis, times better results, are obtained by planting in partial shade.

Read what those you have elected to handle the affairs of your state and who are thoroughly informed regarding school conditions in Oregon have to say concerning measure 308 on the ballot at the coming election: By James Withycombe, Governor ef Oregon: "Oregon is unquestionably in need of more normal school work ami Pendleton in the logical place for a school of this cluss in Eastern Oregon..' By J. A. Churchill, State Superintendent of Public Instruction: "I trust that the voters of the State will assist in raising the standard of our schools by, establishing a State Normal School at Pendleton.'' By P. L. Campbell, President of the University of Oregon: "At least one additional Normal School is urgently needed In Oregon. " By W. J. Kerr, President of the Oregon Agricultural College: "Since the people of Pendleton are Initiating a measure for the establishment of a Normal School at that place, , It will give me pleasure to support this measure." By J. H. Ackerman, President Oregon Normal School, at Monmouth: "A coreful analysis of the situation will convince any one that Oregon needs a Normal School in Eastern Ore gun and Pendleton fills all the government requirements. By the County School Superintendents of Oregon: "Resolved, that It Is the sense of the County School Superintendents of the Slate of Oregon, In convention assembled, that the best interests or the schools of the State demand Increased facilities Tor the training of teachers, and that we, therefore, endorse the initiative , measure to establish u Normal School at Pendleton." By Mrs. Charles H. Castner, President of the Oregon Federation of Women's Clubs: "I most heartily endorse the location of said Normal School at Pendleton " Prof. Robert C. French, Former President of tho Normal School Located at Weston: "An Immediate establishment of such a school at some central point such as Pendleton would prove a great asset to the State of Oregon " B. F. Mulkey, Ex-President Southern Oregon Normal School: "I shall support the location mt an ttaatern Oregon Normal School at Pendleton." State Board of Regents of Oregon Normal School declares that "the necessity for additional Normal school facilities in Oregon is apparent." Portland Chamber of Commerce endorses measure 308 and say Pendleton most logical location for Nor mal school in Eastern Oregon. 308 X YES IS A VOTE FOR your children Kastern Oregon State Normal School Committee. (Paid Adv.) By J. H Owlnn. Secy , Pendleton, Ore. (By J. L. McBrien, School Extension Agent, Bureau Of Education) The further we delve into the ques tion of rural school attendance in its relation to the length of rural school term the more evident it becomes that we need an aroused public opinion for a better rural school attendance and a more rigid and effective enforce ment of compulsory attendance laws to make sure of this better attendance many cut flower roses may be propa not along for the betterment of the rated n this wav .ih.lrj.nn 4k.wit.nl.rni.

Climb ing roses are propagated mostly by hardwood cuttings made in the fall, Be children when the authority that levies and collects the tax from A al lows B to keep his children out of school whether it be through indiffer ence, ignorance or selfishness. Furth ermore, it is a crime against B's chil dren to let him keep them out of school. Whether poor attendance of pupils comes from indifference of par ents, a sleeping public opinion or a lax enforcement of compulsory attend ance laws or from all of these things tho penalty falls hardest and most directly upon the children in their lost opportunity to obtain an education, though society must pay a heavy toll in the end for its sinning against such children. As a concrete example of the mag nitude of these problems in some states, take Pennsylvania. The enroll ment in her public schools for the year ending July 5, 1915, reached the colos sal figure of 1,461,937. The average daily attendance in her public schools for that year was 1,166,513 making her average daily absences climb to the startling number 295.424. The cost of enforcement of the compulsory at- , tendance law in Pennsylvania fof the I same year was $198,991.71. These fig- j J ures cover both rural and urban 1 1 schools. The latest available statistics i on separate attendance in urban and rural schools of Pennsylvania (1910) show that the number attending daily in every 100 enrolled in the urban schools of this State was 82, while in the rural schools it was only 76.6. It is evident, therefore, that the rural school of Pennsylvania had a larger per cent of pupils in the 295,424 daily absentees than did its urban schools. Yet Pennsylvania is one of the six States with the higher daily attend ance. ! . "1 Statisticians claim that every day a pupil attends school is worth nine dol lars to him. On this basis the 295,424 J pupils daily absent from Pennsylvnn- I ia's schools last year cost over $2,655.- j I 000 daily, of for the school term of 170 I I i days, over $450,000,000. For the na- i tion at large the 5,000,000 boys and I therebv on a school term of 160 days, i $7,200,000,000. "We must educate or , J wc must perish," said Beecher. Hardwood cuttings are taken when the plants are in active growth. To make a hardwood cutting, good strong, wellripened shoots of the past sum mer's growth should be selected. These are, better if cut between the time the leaves fall and freezing weather. If left until after cold weather there is danger of injury from freezing. They should be cut into pieces of 5 or 6 inches, with the upper cut just above a bud, and should be tied in bundles with raffia or with string that does not rot easily is exposed to damrnesB. After labeling plainly they should be buried in moist sand, tops down, and placed in a cool cellar of buried in the open ground below dan ger of frost. They should be planted i.i the open ground in the spring about or a little before corn-planting time, so that one of two eyes, or not over one inch of the cutting is above ground which will leave 4 or 6 inches in the ground. Care must be taken not to injure the calluses that have formed while the cuttings were buried.
