Keptoiutor iJSrd a vacancy arurrtHl through Mlsa DcLaabmult resigiilng and going to Eugene to teach music, and Prof. Pratt told Mlsa Long- acre to take the place In the Park School under Prof. Lilly aa principal. She did good work for two weeka, and leased both parent and children so well that they encouraged her to think that the board would select her to nil the piMlllou pennant 11 tly. Then the board of directors met. Il appear that a lady teacher had been displaced, whu was a Catholic, Mlsa Hlttliiiter. and i.r frlenda sought lo have her re instated, and tbe board waa divided, wo wanting Mlsa Hltllugcr, two Ml liOtig icre and one on the fence, con sequently there could tat no election, So auxlous were the children to retain Mlsa Lungicre that they got up a peti tion askliig that ahe ie retained and w ithout the knowledge of Mlsa Long- acre sent It In to Prof. Lilly. He took It to Director Roby, and it (Inured mile largely lu the contest. Tue board had quite a stormy session, but ilually Director Ijmla?rl the director on the fence promised a new candidate, aa a compromise, and she waa elected, through Miss Lougacre's support voting with Mr. Lambert. When the school children learned of he action of the director I hey went In a Ixaly to Chy Supt. Pratt's oflloe and remanded their teacher, but lie In formed them the directors had taaen action and he could do nothing, Mlas IiOiigacre made many warm friends while the coolest was going on and had ahe chosen to have remained 11 Portland and waited, waa assured he would get a position, but ahe con- luded to awpi the position here In ndepeiideuce, and arrived last week. She received an offer from Marahllcld, 0 Coo county, to leach lu the puhdc sclnsil there as assistant principal at wages $15 a mouth higher than she receives here. She felt It to be her duty to keep her word here. ImmI week Mia Longacre received a do.eii letters from her little pupils, and the photographer here will probably profit from them as they all wanted her picture sent them. M laa Longacre Is a very bright girl, energetic, enthusiastic and up to mod- ru methods, and ahe gains the love ud respect of her pupils. It was a disappointment to her to one the position, as there was no fault found with her work, in fact it gave excellent satisfaction. The wages 11 the Portland schools are much higher than lu small towns and besides there are chances for promotion. However we nre glad this quarrel enabled Independence to gain the ad vantage of her services, Tlie ETiuigellcal Revival.

Tuemlay of laat week the editor of hla pa-r accepted an Invitation from 'rca. P. L. Camplll, of the State Nor mal to vialt that Institution. Arrived at the college building at a luarter past eight, we found the prvsl- lent busy distributing the new style f excuse car-Is to the studcut; J. 11 V, Iluller waa busy writing rmlpta and W. A. Wauii, In some other ofllclal work, lu the pleasant business office of he scIkkiI. At 8ui' la the chapel Mlas Emma .anuiiar pnstidlug at the piano struck up a march and prcMcutly the student came Into the room marching two by wo with measured treat!. Thla reminds us of a ridiculous blunder a certain udge In Polk county made when ad- Ireaslug the school after seeing them uarch In. He intended to say "I heard lie tramp of the coming generation" ut Instead said ' I heard the genera tion of the oomlug tramp." There was au audible titter. After I he school was seated, the young ladles ou one able, and the young gentlemen on the other, the Mil was called by section, a captain of each suction answering for (hose absent. We could not help but notice that the school this year has un usually good material physically for he making of a splendid growth of teachers. Pres. Campbell read some Scripture and oflered prayer, and Miss I tone Hansel t, the music teacher, led the singing. Mlsa Hitssett hue a very pleasing manner, la very attractive In appearance, sings well and It seemed 10 us, waa very much lu the minds of many of the young ladles, from the way they kept their eyearlvitcd on her. It struck us as worth mentioning the evident charm she hail for her own sex. Prof. Frank Campbell gave a lecture ou English giammar, taking he position that a full knowledge nl grammar Is one or the greatest ssentiala lu an education. After some aniiouucemeuls by Pres. Campbell the pupils marched out again. There are ibout three girls to every two boy In the school this year. Wo then viaited Mlsa Mary Conta in her model achool of little ones, lu the 1st grade. They sang several songs very nicely, while we were there. The former Monmout h public school build ing was then visited. Here nre some more grades of the model school pre sided over by Prof. W. 11. Allen, of New York, and Misa Edith Ciissiivitnt, :is critic teacher, Misa Cnssaviint's 4a'cliil work la the phvaittlal training of the school, In which alio la very pnv llcluut. Her methods ure very success ful, In the seven rooms were seven teachers, mem not e or the senior class of the Normal school, who take forty minutes each day in the training school. MIssGraee St. Heleu of Portland, hud her pupils at work writing all they could remember about a caterpillar, which lay ou the desk he fore her. Miss Her! ha Davis, of Linn county, had her little ones at work on aome other object of nature, we did not learn the iinme. Miss Jamca, of Mou row county, vus hearing her grade tell about a crawfl-.li, a Beclmen of which was before them, Miss Furnstill, of I'oi'tliitul.wuH hcurlnga grammar clans Mlsa Woods, ol J icn ton county, was hearing a class in leading. Mlaa Emma Lammars, waa hearing her grade recite the history of the pioneers of the United States. The bell now rang and the teachers were changed, new ones to leach forty more minutes. Each teacher la fully Instructed by the critic teachers before entering on the work, and the training they receive In the school Is of great value, and tbe children are seemingly, making rapid progress In the school. We never saw better order anywhere than waa shown by the 170 pupils assembled thera, t rom Douty fe Jocke. We had ust a few minutes before lbs return of th motor (0 hear Mlsa Rose liaM'tt Instruct the several grades In vocal mush;, aud she evidently thoroughly understand her work and how to keep the alien tlou of all. Tbe practice song they sang was eniltlud, "Hweet Rose." The aclnsil at Monmouth Is now a Normal school and nothing else. The course lu Uaikkeeplug called tbe"coin merclal" has been dnipiajd aud the Normal course lengthened to three years.
