Our Reply to Dean Straub
Our old mid highly esteemed
friend, Dean Straub, of the OreKoii
unlvcrHlty, answers t ho questions
we propounded to the Portland Ore
gonlan recently rulutlve to result"
being obtained by what is termed
the higher Institutions of learning
in this state.
Bill in nnsworlnK them the worthy
Deal) Indulges in suih remarks h
"collego graduates won tho late
war." These who have not been to
Dealt Struub'8 college or other eol.
logon hesitate In making sueh re
mark for it has been tho belief of
the common noonlo that all tho hoys
who onllitod won tho war. Union
codnly had twelve hundred in tho
war, Home were rollego boys nnd ma
ny wore not. They till did their
bcBt and wo fail to seo or under
stand, where the V'nllfKO graduulo
did any more lu wlnnliiK the great
conflict than any other soldier.
The college tiuestlon is one that
Is going to be discussed regardless
of whether the Dean il mi I run It or
not. . Vcopln have begun to think
Tory earnestly on Ihia important
jnallor.
- Men who strive hard and raise a
child to work are wondering whe-
thflr It lu tint Iw.ll.,,- In onnlniil Mini
child witli a good eighth grade ed
Ucutlon and a trado rather than lake
a chance in sending him to one of
the colleges and have him lonio
back addicted to tho social whirl
and tho, sport Tad of the worklesa
majoilt)'. That In tho problem.
Dean Htrauh, which lu canning anx
iety much more and murH deeper
(niloty Ihan ! lie) money it feuiren
tb run the colleges.
Many have mute to the belief that
ouf "riilltges" nro not getting the
rMtHRtlutt a large percentage of
their proijui't in not what It should
be, and for that rcamm the future
will not be iih lenienl on everything
put forth tiudrr the name uf edu
cation a.t II has been. The time ban
loino to make the colleges show why
lliey eslsl; the time lias rnmo to
liring the school men or the stale
forward slid Join ' them in looking
the. situation siiuarely hi the face, j
In the deepest of HertmiHtiess,
Dean Slraub, our belief Is lhat too
much "cducaMng" at the top Is be.
Ing done anil mil enough at the bot

been compelled to eat nt the se nml

1 cat way without complaining, but
the tlmo has now arrived when 11 11 1 -verslly
and agricultural colloge
tralniug, are bolow par look at
your graduates by - the score
seeking minor office jobs
while the normal school giad.
uates are In demand as teachers for
the young over the state.
To our mind the very best edu
rational move that Oregon can make
Is to draft J. A. Churchill as head
of the Monmouth normal, take funds
from the wasto and Impractical de
partments of the ''two colleges" suf
flclent for him to build a normal
school of some size. Let the state
command hi ill "to build us a nor
mal that is a normal a normal
school lhat will train teachers so the
boys and girls whose parents cannot
afford to endow thcui with an 'al
lowance' to iillond the university
or the agricultural collego may have
the advantages of a good grade edu
cation lu the rural districts und the
country towns." In other wnrdH,
nay to Mr. Churchill, "build us a
normal like the ono at Kmporla or
Greeley."
No, Dean Slraub, the writer Is not
against education ho is for educa
tion that glvoslho boy or girl good,
wholosomo Amorican training so
that ho can make his way in the
world, but h is opposed to tiio ex.
pensive, Impractical methods which J
so many colleges practice in trans
forming a working hoy into n loungo
llzzard who comes home and, In
stead of helping his fnthor carry the
load, demands thut his ''allowance"
