TIME FOtt CONCERTED ACTION La Grande, as a growing city Ipng pnded itself .upon .its wealth of assets its lumber, hiilroad shuns: it huntihir and fishing facilities, its f; area, its rietabv scenic beauties. And, 4t is true, these 'tiAVA vptiimprl rriiich to the community rri 'the .wav of nay- foils', wide . and fyvoWiWc publicity, and attracted many new families' to this city.' , . , Yet, after all of these assets are named, th(y;e still remains n'eVen' ,gVeatei'oiV& iind one that will, if properly fostered, grow as the yeau's pass, not deteriorate as some of the other Assets' by nature must do. ' , l"Thi's asset; is the Eastern .Oregon Norntal school, an insti tution that hits brought and js 'stilj fringing mich 9f.val.i1e not only to this community, its home city, but .to all 01 this eastern half of the' state. ' Already it has proven itself, a 'splendid addition to tlie'life in this section, both economically and culturally. It has opened the youth ot union and noaroy counties to ti;og, yet .tuese uVen.vie.s' in'? ,till incomplete. It. has conti'tbuted .mightily ,to .rttafbgf e.v6.ry phase' of life in' this territory, and from a colMlooded dollars and cents sta'n'dpoiii.t,' it has . more . than helped carry JL Grande through a perjiod pf hurS .timqs Where other assets fell off,' its enrollment increased and con sequently, more student and faculty dollajre poured into local trade channels. ' . Throughout the nation, communities wherein an institu tion of higher learning exists, yithstpofj the' period of de pression 'far better than their neighbors witTipt s,uch ad yftntages. " History of former warps in the prosperity chart show t)iat this always has Jieen true. ; Records show that there.. has been a ,62 ppr cent increase n junior college students at the lowii iustitutiou, in tle J$ two years. Every .term enrollment figures show consistent gains. People throughout tin; Eastern Oregon district, with the E. 0. N. showing its superiority in many ways, are sup porting it inoie generally, are urging .their children jto enroll here nvoie frequently. Yet, with such a' fine record, there are still sonic ,wljo, uniijfprnied of this .true situation, are 1only half hearted in .their support of the Normal school, jf jLhey support it at all. ."What the school needs mpre than anything pise at present, is an enlargement of facilities, ,sp it may more adequately Serve its territory. The needed measure ity.su'ch an enlargc Jnfciit exists in the moveriiient for. ,the proposed $130,000 training school yet ultimate success seems difficult pf attainment. With the training school erected, there would pe ample room for teaching practice, there would be more rooiji n the administration building through vacating of rooi;s now used by Ackerman students, and the permtiiiency of the institution 'would' become much more assured. ' 1 ' Right now, the training school is tit a standstill. Back in September, the project was approved by the Oregon P. VV. A. board and forwarded to the public works administration pf fices in Washington. Yet the public funds then available were exhausted Without including thjs in .the . successful projects. ;O.Ui,er far less important projects "dyer 'the state, hiost of them submitted after the training school proposal Was in Washington, were successful. It would seem that somewhere in the scheme of thing's there must be back in our national capital an influence either working against thp development of the E. O. N.'.'of at least carefully ignoring it. One's finger fright be. placed on tjie obstacle, or possibly not, but there is one sure way to seek to' overcome it. People in public offices are put there by the people of their own districts. In .the final analysis, these officials are ans "werablo to these xople. The constituencies are all-powerful When they act concerted!'. 1 The Kotary club showed the w ay yesterday when its mem bora unanimously pledged themselves to work in every wav possible to obtain favorable settlement of the training school project Supposing every organization in the section of fcfstern Oregon which the E. p. NV serves were to do like wise, and with every interested individual were to put forth Strong demands to the proper persons for Uiis project. We brieve there is little question but that such a move would bring real results if anyone lias been asleep at the cross roads, it certainly would awaken them to what the district needs and demands ! B??v.a t 01' nt. the future of the E. O. N. is still in the doubtfu class, and will be until additional development is Ohtainwl. Ihere is tremendous need now for concerted action! It you want a Normal school to remain in Eastern Ch-egon and to Continue to serve your best interests, don't put off longer giving it your support.
