God is the King of all the
derstanding. Psalm 47 :7.
QUAINT BELIEFS
The people of Nepal, that mysterious Himalayan kingdom
north of India, believe that the recent Indian earthquake was
.caused by the flight of three British aviators over Mount
Everest last spring. The gods of this mountain, according
to the people of Nopal, are jealous of their peak's isolation,
and get angry whenever presumptuous men try to climb it.
When the British airplane went sailing over the summit, the
gods decided things had gone far enough; so they jarred
India with an earthquake that took 15,000 lives. This quaint
tale is believed devoutly by the superstitious and unlettered
people of the Himalayas, and it all sounds very childish and
ignorant to enlightened folk like ourselves.
Yet we have our own troubles in straightening out mat
ters of cause and effect, especially where great national dis
asters are concerned, and in some ways we don't seem to
be much better at it than the skin-clad tribesmen of Asia.
We had our own earthquake, a matter of four years ago, in
the form of a depression, and it jarred us clear back to our
eye teeth. And if there ever was a land in which people did
more frantic running around in circles trying to figure out
the cause of an earthquake, the history books don't mention
it.
; Some of us blamed tariff and some of us blamed the war;
some of us blamed the foreign debts and sonve of us blamed
Wall Street; some of us blamed our lack of faith in God and
some of us blamed the sun spots; some of us blamed Stalin
. and some of us blamed Andy Mellon. And we are so far from
being agreed on the cause, even now, that we can't agree on
how to handle our domestic economy, our foreign trade, our
' currency, or our international relations, to keep it from hap-
, pening again.
And there is something rather frightening in all this con
fusion. It suggests, somehow, that we are, all of us, en
lightened, at the mercy of forces which we can comprehend
. Jittle better than the Himalayan peasants comprehend nn
earthquake. Perhaps, indeed, we shall have to accept the
Himalayan explanation. We flew over a high mountain and
the gods were vexed.

I obtain traveling and living clear
across the state In either of the two
' larger Institutions of higher learning,
stated Dr. Inlow. This Is proven, he
added, by the fact that there has
been a 02 per cent Increase In Junior
college students at the local Institu
tion In the past two years.
further, he stated, the local Insti
tution Is proud of the fact recently
disclosed In survey that 83 per cent
of Its registrations are from the
"upper hair' or above average high
school students and S3 per cent of
that number are those who stood
among the "first quarter" of students
In their high school wora. In other
words, the conduct and opportunities
offered by the normal here are such
as to attract a fine class of students.
Another Important Item that has
attracted attention of students desir
ing normal educalon Is the known
fact that the local school has placed
a higher percentage of Its graduates
Into employment than any other like
Institution In the state. Of last years
trrftrliiMt here 76 per cent found
employment. Indicating a fine co
operation and recognition of this
Krhnol by the school authorities of
the state In giving preference to
Eastern Oregon Normal graduates In
teaching vacancies occurring.
Dovolopment here of a normal
school and Junior college to the ex
tent that It will render adequate and
complete services of higher educa
tion In those two branches for the
B3.000 population represented In Its
area of five Eastern Oregon counties
is the ambition of the local Insti
tution, said Dr. Inlow.
Need of the training school build
ing and equipment here Is Immediate
if the La Grande Normal is to be
adequately equipped to give the ut
most In educational service and facil
ities due thta territory, said the
speaker.
