Grande can feel gratified at the stage of completion of the T Vattt' om, new. permanent highway shops on lower Adams avenue, 'trad- en steei Designed and built for the purpose of handling highway business in this district and caring for a great quantity of highway equipment, the new shops are a great improve ment on the old quarters and add to the city's appearance. The grounds will be improved when spring weather permits', the lawn will be properly cared for and landscaped. No one can fail to feel well pleased that such an improvement bus been possible this last year. There are many cases of "flu" in La Grande, Don't think that a light cold or a "touch of the grippe" is something of minor importance. Doctors urge the utmost care when the slightest symptoms of influenza appear. They especially urge that the patient go to bed and stay in bed to effect the speediest recovery. Although no great number of serious cases have been reported, doctors say that the greatest dan ger is from getting up too quickly and suffering a relapse.! Watch children. Don't let slight colds and first signs of fever go without immediate attention. A bad general epi demic can best be avoided by care on the part of first indi vidual sufferers from the disease. lbs..

J2 '" T1IK IMI'OHTAXCK OF KDITATION The annual report of the Secretary of Commerce dis closes the fact that attendance in our high schools has prac tically doubled durinjj the past decade. This, undoubtedly, is due largely to our increased prosperity, which has given larger numbers of people the time and the money to pursue education: and it represents an extremely significant trend in our civilization. From Maine to California, cities and towns are taxing themselves to provide new quarters for their high school .students. Kveiy college and university in the land is Inking hard put to it to accommodate all of the people who want to enroll. There is a stir in the air; a iitiickening of the spirit, as increasing thousands of youngsters strive to get the broader horizons that a higher education brings. Here is a development that we often overlook. It is one of the most important things that has ever happened to us. President Pavid Kinley of the University of Illinois, in recent statement, shows why this is so. lie says: "Who among us can speak or think intelligently, without some higher education, on such great topics of the day as immigration, the elimination of war, taxation, our economic relations with other nations, and contnil of education? The very .scientific character of our civilization raises these prob lems and makes a more widespread higher education neces sary for our people." A few decades ago this was not true. American life was still relatively simple. There was vast natural resources to exploit, vast sections of the country to settle, many miles of railroad to build. The problem was not especially complex. If a man jmssessed the average intelligence K. t.ol,i, CI!,H with it. Hut today simplicity has leon replaced by complexity. As President Kinley said, it is growing increasingly difficult for the poorly-educated man to understand the major problems of the day. If the country is to make progress, it must have mi ever-growing abundance of trained minds. We can hardly spend too much to .see that this is accomplished. To be sure, there are undoubtedly -many youngsters in nur schools and colleges who are not going to learn a great deal. Hut I hey al e in the minority. The heartening fact is that the country is developing and training the intellects of ilie men and women who will guide it In the futlliv. r ilV sfflfl 1 m but a day away 17. the fust t ruins of the Slxsta Route 'Put tlutui to Culiforniu A short, -k'.iN.im trip jKurJ comfort-famous turns and you ti-vcic the cilcnJar.
