SRLF-INTERKST FIRST.
1 In Pembroke, Wales, the good citizens have enlisted the
aid of Lloyd George in efforts to retain their navy yard,
which the British government has decided is no longer cs
sentiul to the national defense and in the interest of econ
omy should he dismantled.
The patriotic people of the little Welch town do not deny
that there is need of retrenchment in governmental expen
ditures or that the Pembroke navy yard is unnecessary to
the country's protection. Their impassioned plea for con
tinued maintenance and operation of the yard is that it is
their principal source of employment and that its abolition
would mean a virtual evacuation of the town by its residents.
If the British government abandons the yard great hard
ship will be worked upon the town-.and its people. If the
yard is preserved the government will have ignored an op
portunity to reduce the burden ef its overtaxed people.
Which should the government serve a nation or a village?
At Pembroke two good reasons for actions directly 'op
posite are in conflict. But such conflicts are not uncom
mon. iF.ven the United States is-never, without them. Every
where the "pork barrel" is an object of denunciation by
everybody except those getting the pork.
PROVIDING LOW-COST EDUCATION.
The effort that is being put forth for an Eastern Ore
gon normal school to be located in La Grande represents
one of the most important activities of this section during
the coming year. Hut we must bear in mind that it isn't
so vital a matter where the school is located as it is that
it be provided for when election time comes 'round. Broad
minded citizens are more interested in securing this means
cf giving adequate low-cost education than they are in
simply working for the benefit of a state educational in-i-tilutiun
established in this valley.
With existing facilities for higher education Oregon is
graduating only about a fourth of the number of potential
teachers required by the schools of the state each year.
We shoi'ld provide our own teachers to a greater dcgiea
than that, but we should also provide a school where many
boys and girls of Eastern Oregon could gel an education
at reasonable cost and within a reasonable distance of their
homes. Many young people of this territory are now de
nied the advantage of more education because their par
ents cannot afford to send them Tour or five hundred miles
away to attend a stale school Svhere expenses are not in
keeping with the standard that could well l; established
in a normal school here. Theso young people deserve a
chance at this additional education. And we, the ei!.i;:eiis
of the state, owe them that oppoi t unity. The cost, al
though of some size in the aggregate, would be an amount
unnoticed by any individual taxpayer and can be easily
afforded in view of the advantages it will make possible
for our young people and the incidental saving! it will put
within the reach of parents.
OI course La Grande is the logical location for a norma
school in Eastern Oiegon. This city is the geographical
center of '.III per cent of the population of Eastern Oregim.
It has adequate railioad and highway faci'ilies. It has
I'dequate residential features and is not handicapped by the
presence of any demoralizing atmosphere at certain period;
of the year that might prove undesirable for young stud
ents. The location of a noinial school here would mean
lynch to La Grande a bui'ding program, a permanent
mips of teachers. li.M) to :'..-0 students, etc. Yet that is,
after all, an incidental matter. The primary tiling is to
i -co that the state provides this better educational facility
for our boys and girls. It will come up for the voters to
decide at the next general election.
