INVITING- SCHOOL REVOLUTION
W'li .ever nuikes the .rn-riiiii f'r tin' present day
Kflmol ('(lucatinii is inviting a iwolut inn in scIhmiI work.
This hciMiino; nunc iiniiiirciil cm-ii clnv when one sees 1IU'

M-lii,.li in iiii-ii criiwils onl 1 1 1 - cinii-l'ete. substantial ideas
i,1 rcsponsiljility and rciuleriiiK scrvic-' to 1 lie wofld.
Down in 'alil'iii'iiia the state is aroused over the ex
tramiinary cxpciisc in tutoring the " repeaters." A re
jieater is a pupil who eould not'inaUe the urade the first
tiinp and he is compelled' to drop hai-U ,-iiwl try it aaain.
This is not the fault of the child, nor in all probability
is it the fault of the teacher, hut the Manic rests with pa
rents mid with the ones who outline the work for the
schools.
Continuous entertainment, such as we have now aftei
a niiiiil leaves 1 lie eighth "Tad'e hreeds no desire on the
part of the youiitf to. carry responsibility and without re
sponsibility a child is worthless.
Track meets and hih school plays and a lot of other
entertainment flap doodles have displaced hooks, sunk t In
former -discipline, t ransjornicd the schools from institu
tions of learning t pla,v houses whose motto seems to he
"Take the path of least resistance and yet hy."
. Thie; K veiling Observer would like to see Superintend
ent Churehiiriiefiin wielding a big stick in Oregon. It is
in him to do it, and his heart is right. If he can be weaned
away frcin custom' and invite the wrath of a few enraged
parents who may take exceptions to such a program, we
believe (hero is hope for the educational institutions of
the state.
lint the burden rests with M r. Churchill. ,Xo .one else
can start it. No one can do it. half so well if b'.' did start it,
so, as the hori.oii looks today our State Superintendent
will eithli-r jerk the schools back into line and make of
them , institutions of training rather than jollification
establishments, or we will in tiiii".1 suffer that revolution
from the people, which will be righteous but extremely
severe , -

CLEAN UP THE ROT IN LA GRANDE.
We bewail this and that, and iiite properly for there
are a lot of things that' are wrong in La ( frantic no more
so than in other cities, but there "is always a plenty. How
ever, there is one thing no one seems to have raised a fin
ger against. It is the vicious, lascivious, lustful, rotten,
filthy magazines which are sold to the. young..
The Kvening Observer would like io see a connnit
iee from the I'arent-Teachers Association inspect the dif
ferent pieiVs of literature that are offered and' sold to
the boys and girls of l,a (Irande.
In Denver and Cheyenne the railroad news stands
will not sell the little cess pool magazine's which are now
flooding the country. Why should l.a (Irande M-rnrit the
sale of an article that poisons the mind with more deadly
poison than drug or moonshine poisons the stomach'? We
are making a state and nationwide fight against the sell
ing of dangerous drugs, yet we sit complacently by and
see lli. lyoung mind sillier :i mm the printed word that
is printed to sell for a high price and intVnded to arouse
sexual kick which may do greater damage than the co
caine sold by the itinerant drug vendor or the illicit
hooch which is made at Sunny brook and peddled through
out the land.
Tlu-ie is nothing a disgusting as the morbid filthy
magazine whose editors haw wreaked their imagination
to put into print stories of the sexes, dirty paragraphs in
tended for jokes ami unclean interviews with supposed
painted ladies who never laid claim to decency even in
the days when Hob Service moiled .for gold ini'the Klou-1vke.

is no futile regret for the Past, no

forebodings for the fale of the race.
It is an inspiring outlook on life that
this octogenarian represents.
Yes, the wmhl has been pretty good

because he has been pretty good to
the woiKk el'ople have liked him be
cause he has liked people. His body

good when most men find it bad.
