The Teachers Institute holl hrro lit La Grande last week calls to our attention the Normal School Measure, No. 308 on the ballot at this election. About 13 per cent of our teachers are graduates or a Normal School. The time' is going to come when training in matters of teaching will bo a condition precedent to the hiring of a teacher in our schools. It is an old saying, that "Practice makes perfect," we learn this holds eood with re gard to teachers as well with anyone nlcv Touchers must learn to teach by teaching. If any person desires to enter the teaching proiession, suc rpss can onlv be assured where they have been trained to. teach. Students from Eastern Oregon are going to State Normals at Idaho, Washington, and even to California, because Oregon has not an adequate supply of schools. Monmouth is good so far as it goes, but the facilities for the accommodation of students are limited, not only 'by the buildings and population, but also by the supply of pupils necessary for practice. There are 35 counties in the state and half of them lie east of the Cascade Mountains, yet the counties east of the Cascade Mountains only receive 10 per cent of the Normal graduates of our school at Monmouth. Our ed ucational needs, therefore, demand an additional Normal, and Eastern Oregon should be big enough to lay aside any local prejudice in the mat ter, and vote 308, yes. Very Trulv Yours, GEORGE T.

I.ou-Tellegen, the famous romantic actor, will be seen at the Arcade to day and tomorrow in the Jesse 1.. l.asky production of "The Victory of Conscience," written especially for him by Margaret Tunibull from the Ktory by Alexandra do Jannelli. Mr. Tellcgcn will be supported by Clco Kidgley and an all-star Uisky cast. This Paramount picture is the first photodramntic product ion in which l.ou-Tellogen has appeared since his marriage to the famous Geraldine Farrar. As (he young Count wlio has passed from sinner to saint. Mr. Tellegcn will be seen at his best and he and El liott Dexter present one of the most thrilling duel scenes ever witnessed on (ha screen. Mr. Tellegcn has the distinction of being the champion swoidsni;;.-. of Europe, and Mr. Dexter is well known for his prowess with the foils. Many scenes, taken in a mili tary hospital during the present war, me realistic in the extreme, and wenc supervised by a wounded French ma jor now convalescing in the United States. Miss Kidgley will bo remembered for her .splendid performances in "The Golden Chance," "The Selfish Woman," and "The House with the ' " ' int fciiiniii imiii iummi Wimni 1 Golden Windows." Others prominent in the cast are Elliott Dexter, Thomas Delmar and Laura Woods C.ushing. The story has to do with the snirit- ual and mental awakening of Louis, : Count de Tavannes. The Count and ! his handsome, harum scarum com- panion, Prince Dimitri Karitzin, ! steal a little dancing p-irl from a French tnveni. The girl falls in love with Louis but he casts hr aside, and is nearly killed in a fight with her f ormer sweetheart. Upon recovering, the former sinner enters the priest hood. How he again meets the dancer, wins her admiration and induces her to enter a monastery, is brought about in a way that has never been seen before by the photodramatic audiences. To say that this play is unusual and sensational, is but a mild description. Cleo Kidgley, as the dancer, has been given one of the best roles of her entire career, and she has risen to the occasion with all the energy and abil ity at her command.
