With a large crowd, of l.a Grande people and officials and educators of Oregon and tho Northwest in ut lendance, (lie U '.stern Oregon Nor mal school was formally dedicated j here this afternoon, with the laying of the cornerstone and a dedication program, the latter held In the auditorium. Governor Patterson, Secretary of State Hal K. Hosa, Hudgct Director Sum Kozer, (. A. Howard, superintendent of public instruction, and members of the J Oregon Nor mal School hoard ot regt ntn were present for the dedi cation. , . .. , . . . v The dedication address was given by Or. Stephen II, I,. Penrose, pres ident' of Whitman college, who Is one of the leading speakers of the Northwest. Dr. Penrose, in an ex cellent address, emphasized the significance of the ivw institution to the statu of Oregon and to the northwest and pointed out the cdii cntiomil iidvaneeiuMit that will re sult from the new noi mat school. "One bundled years ago there was not a normal school in the IT tilted States," Dr. Penrose said. "The thought had not been born. Teachers there were but they were born, not made. They came out of the unknown and although schools were many and teacher.- needed for them, the supply of teachers was left to the grace of find and the whim of the individual. Those who could do nothing else were free to teach. The result of this carelessness as to the, profession of teaching was that no profession ol teaching existed. There were teach ers bet they had not professional consciousness. They taught eith er because they loved to leach or could not live except by teaching and they fell into the two classes of great teachers and small . . . The first normal school at Mridue water, Mass., In 18311 marks the dawn of a new era in the public consciousness of educational re sponsibility." "The normal school appears as the symbol of a new social con sciousness in which the state rec ognized its responsibility for the education of its youth, in order to guarantee Its future. This con sciousness in.wn.-t a new era in the life of mankind. Henceforth the commonwealth which desires per petuity will lay solid foundations for that perpetuity by the careful education of Its youth, for educa tion is not simply the means by which a benevolent state enables Its future citizens to gain a liveli hood, but rather the far sighted device by which it ensures Its own stability. The character of the next generation Is determined by the education of today. "As we dedicate this new ami mngniricent building for the Ore gon Stale Normal school, I hope that the people of Oregon will un derstand the significance of what w- are doing and will accept, the responsibility which It involves.

'FARM RELIEF AGREEMENT IS REACHED Debenture Plan Elimin ated From Measure at Conference Today. HOOVER FAVORS REVISED MEASURE Bill to be Submitted to II o u s e a n d S e n a t e Again Before Going to President's Desk,; WASHICVrON, June B (At5) A" farm relief bill with the export de benture, plan eliminated was agreed upon today by tho annate and house, conference committee, on the meas ure. The revised relief measure, com posed from tho tw'o farm bills pass ed separately by tho senate and house, will be formally engrossed by the committee tomorrow and Immediately submitted to the house foe consideration. (iocs Hack to Senate After tho house had acted tho measure must go hack to the sen ate Tor consideration. In the conference committee all of the houso membfei-s voted to eliminate tho debenture plan. Three of tho flvo senate con ferees, McNary of Oregon, and Capper or rtansas. republicans, and Itansdelt of Louisiana, democrat, voted to eliminate. Senators Nor ti.i, republican, Nebraska, and Smith, democrat, South Curollnu, voted against elimination. Aceepinhlo to Hoover , The measure as finally agreed upon after moro than a week of conreriMU'PM , Is held by conforonco committee members to he accept able to President Hoover. Thero were no material differences ex cept for the debenture plan In tho seiuity and houso hills but the measure framed by tho conference group follows more nearly tna houso measure. The committee decided tho mea-., sure should ho known as "tho agri cultural marketing act." Dual Function The preferred hill would give the I stabilization corporations a dual 1 function such as was proposed In jthe senate measure, and would per mit tho corporations to acquire and store surplus ami also act as a super-marketing agency for coop erative marketing associations, j The hill would provide $1,500,000 i for administrative purposes in ad dition to an authorization of $f00,- 0(1(1,000 to carry out the function of tho proposed farm hoard, Representative Haugen of Iowa, chairman of the houso agriculture-, committee, said ho believed it like ly that the house would approve tho conference hill tomorrow. Chairman McNary of tho senate agricultural committee, said debate probably would preface a vote in the senate because of tho nlimlnu lion of the debenture plan. Ho thought, however, that final action this week or early noxt weok was likely. Sentence Woman I To Life in Prison SONOMA. i June 5 (AP) -Mre.
