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. I

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.
