Some boys and girls in Eastern Oregon go away to college and get advantages of
higher education and special training but hundreds who want to go and who would profit by
going must stay home because the distance is so great to state educational institutions that the
expense is prohibitive.
Four hundred miles lie beween La Grande and the educational opportunities of the state.
Four hundred miles must be traversed by the Eastern Oregon boy or girl if he or she is to take
training as a teacher in the schools of the state. Scores of our young people would like to
benefit both themselves and the people of the state by entering the teaching profession. With
a normal school in Eastern Oregon with educational opportunities more nearly equal those af
forded young people of Western Oregon this would be possible.
M
Only 16 Per Cen
onmouth Normal Students
Live East Of Cascades!
The normal school at Monmouth is crowded with
young people who wish to fit themselves for teaching
positions. Yet it, and the Ashland normal, can pro
vide only half of the trained teachers we need in the
schools of the state. ' And in the Monmouth enroll
ment only 16 per cent of the students reside east of the
Cascades only, 16 per cent are able to stand the ex
pense necessary to get the education they need and
desire.
The Eastern Oregon Normal School will help fill
the need for Oregon-trained teachers in Oregon
schools. It will give Eastern Oregon young people
more of an equal chance in education. And it is a
project fully approved by school executives and teach
ers throughout the state. It is our one opportunity to
provide more adequate opportunity for our high
school students, more adequate training for our grade
students.

Will Let Us Enjoy What W
Are Paying For
Vote for the Eastern Oregon Normal so that this section may enjoy the educational opportunities we
are already paying for. Our taxes help support other state normals, other state schools. Their distance re
duces the advantage to our young people and to Eastern Oregon. A normal school in this section will not
be a heavy tax burden; it will be supported by the entire state. It's for the boys and girls of Eastern
Oregon, for better schools and better teachers, for better a::d more equal opportunities. '
