THE LEGISLATIVE ('ill ME OF juou.
Destruction of a part of the .slate's educational sys
tem, the legislative clinic of the recent session, is a sorry
deed for a progressive; people to point to with pride and
yet it is upon the wanton and uncalled for attempt to mur
der the normal schools of Oregon that the senate Itases
its chief claim to fame. The, normal school is recognized
as an essential branch oi education in every state in the
Union as important as cither university or agricultural
college, for it is there that teachers of the rising generation
receive their training.
Oregon's normal school system has never heen on a
proper basis. The normals have been shabbily anil dis
gracefully treated Irom the outset. They have been al
ternately fed and starved and made political footballs
out of. In order to secure funds to keep open, it has fre
quently been necessary for legislators from normal dis
tricts to sacrifice other legislation that a crust of the state's
fluids might be thrown insl it ill ions t hat prepare those who
guide youthful Oregon.
The more money a slate spends on education, the more
enlightened and civilized the state. Any attempt to check
or destroy an educational system is recognized as an an
achronism, a survival of the ignorance and intolerance of
other ages, out of place in the modern world The attacks
upon the normals, the state university and agricultural
college are symptoms of the unprogrcssiveuess that has
cursed Oregon for so many years.
The mossbacks of Oregon, under the guidance of that
monarch of mossbacks, the Portland Oregonian, fight all
forms of higher education. They would slay the state uni
versity, the agricultural college and the stale normals.
They belong to the era when a knowledge of the "three
Its" was considered ample education. Because grandpa
went to bed with a candle, they would bar electric lights.
The upper br -h of the legislature made no effort
to settle the normal problem in a satisfactory manner.
The normals never received fair consideration. Certain
leaders, thinking to curry favor with the mossbacks and
win the plaudits of the )regonian, which had u crcifully
derided them, set out to slaughter the normals and blocked
all legislation to this end. These members should remem
ber that the day of mossback majorities in Oregon has
gone by and that the support of the Oregonian is equiv
alent to a defeat.
The Oregonian and other mossback journals have for
vears carried on a campaign of Nullification, falsehood
and misrepresentation regarding normal schools. They
have never been fair. The normal scl Is have been har
pooned continuously and unrighteously, their work lied
about and belittled.
The normals will now make a final fight before the
people, and appealing to the spirit of justice that governs
the majority of humanity, they have little fear of the out
come; for if Oregon is to advance, she must provide the
best of educational I'acilil ics of which normal schools are
among the most important.
And Oregon must and will advance and normal schools
must and will be a part of her educational system, despite
the legislative crime of !! .
