Ackerman, super intendent of the Oregon State Normal school at Monmouth, and in this news comes deep regret, for the loss of this ifood man will be keenly felt in Oregon and the northwest. Mr. Ack erman was for many years .state superintendent of public in struction and for the past ten years he has been at the head of the Monmouth Normal school, successful in each undertaking. . This state will miss him for he threw his influence on the practical side of education. He believed we needed strong teach ers for the young and he therefore worked in normal work. In this he was correct and as time goes on we'shall well know his wisdom, for the normal school is the foundation stone of common school education, while the university and other schools of alleged higher learning do not fit the student so thoroughly tor the teaching profession. Mr. Ackerman was a substantial citizen and has devoted Iub life to the teaching profession. The normal graduates over the state will today feel the loss of this old gentleman as much fts though a member of a family had departed. Like all school men who live the life of sacrifice in order that the younger generation might be, taught, Mr. Aclierman did not gather together much of this world's riches, materially speaking, but he did have that wide friendship which counts for more than money or lands. by JtJUIOB PROVED TO BE TIE.

A bromide, a muudlin sentiment you say? Not so, we urc extremely m't ish. The big, the basic thought we hold, is the identical thought you hold; we want to be happy, and we have urrived at the conclusion that the only way we can get the most out of life, is by giving the most to life.
