IT SEEMS TO ME

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.

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:
