Bl/ Dewey The southwestern part of Ore gon is again honored by estab lishing of another state park to add to its attractions. People of the northern and eastern sec tions seem to be more proud of these state parks than we home people. Why? That question has put me to wondering. THURSDAY, JULY 7. 1949 BROOKINGS-HARBOR PHOT. BROOKINGS. OREGON The World's Best Climate People must have not read the time in Oregonian the past two Sundays regarding the inadequacy of Oregon’s high schools to meet the demands of college entrance. Several of the Pilot readers have taken me to task for mentioning this through this column. They said it wasn’t exactly part of the Pilot’s business. Anything that affects the future of Oregon, regardless if it makes too much difference to this com munity, affects the Pilot. There was once a day when this fact might not have meant what it means today. Communities as late as the turn of the century were much more self-sufficient than today. In this day of specialization and and interdependence, things have been altered. What was consider ed a fair education a generation ago, is far from being ample to day. Unless a boy or girl today expects io following anything but the most common of labor, some higher education is imperative. A glance at the want-ads of any big daily will prove to one that a trade or a college degree is ab solutely necessary. Once there was a day when a person could “read law ’ in any hue office, and listen to court, to get his license to practice law. Later that was changed to make the aspirant lawyer attend law school, without regard to a high school education. Now, it takes a ('allege degrt e before one can enter laic school. The medical profession is just as particular about the educa tional qualifications of one wish ing to practice medicine. The insurance companies now wish to hire only college graduates for their agents. All professions re quire college degrees, and later no doubt, these requirements are likely to lie raised. College have advanced, but the high schools. it seems, have been stationary or have slipped back ward in many states, including Oregon. These ar twits appearing in the Oregonian have awakened people that something must be done, and that soon. Perhaps it is along this pattern th it state board of education is demanding more and more from each district in the state. Artists unit tell you that dis tame lends enchantment to tile view. Perhaps that may be the case with us. Wr see Azalea pari: daily, We see Harris Park every time ire go along the highway, to the north, and they have become common place to all of us.

I ('an picture people in most any section of Montana giv ing any big sum of money to be able to get an azalea started in their yards. In the far eastern part of Montana people would give a small fortune just for a tret just any tree. People born in western Oregon may laugh at me for this asser tion. but it is the gosjud. Ask any person who has lived in that des olate country, and see if I have exaggerated any. About the only trees that seem to grow are the scrubbiest of willows, and along some creek or river.
