From railroads and automobiles to morals, a certain recognized efficiency, durability ami safety constitute a standard What ia more necessary than a "standard” school? The perpetuation of (govern ment, science, srt, law, medicine, mor ality, all depend upon the training of the child. Surrounding» that are "standard" or "ideal" will surely help In a great measure in forming correct habita. Children arc creatures of en vironment. Why not make the en vironment standard or ideal? For some time past superintendent Smith has been working toward "Stand ard” schools for Marion county. His work can only bo commended by the thoughtful student of human nature. According to a chart furnished by the Superintendent to each school the fol lowing points arc considered. Building; well lighted, heated and ventila ted, also in good repair with u good coat of paint, both exterior slid interior and the Hag flying according to law. Room; clean and tidy, alove well blackened; blackboard clean, teacher’s and pupils' dcxka in order, several flowering plants. Wstcr;plenty of pure drinking water, individual cups. Grout**’; clean from rubbish, some trees am shrubs, plenty of playroom, substantial walks, »anitsry toilets. I’upils; attendance % per cent, tardi ness not over 1 per cent, orderly,clean ly and respectful. Furnishings; ample supply of desks of proper height ami correct position as to light, good teacher's desk, several good framed pictures, dictionaries sup plementary readers. (Superintendent Smith might well have added here, ' Free Text Book Law." Every other progressive state has it, and it is a success, why not Oregon?) Library; a well selected collection of books with card and pocket system of recording, good book rase. Organization; register and reporta well kept, program posted in room, course of study, monthly reports. Teachers; at school house by 8.30 well planned work, carefully assigned lessons, current topics. Under the last head might have been added the magic word "personality.” The successful teacher m u s t have the coveted Midas touch of making dry lessons flower into interest before even a "standard,’ school will turn out the finished product. Let every citizen of our little city talk itnd vote for a standard and recog nized high school. We need it, we must have it, if we arc to keep our ambitious young people here. No mat- if you have no children to send, every child of school age is the ward of the state and education must flourish or civilization will decay. —E. M. O.

SUPT. ALDERMAN SUS- PARCELS POST SYSTEM TAINS A BROKEN LEG IS OF VITAL INTEREST I.akeview, Ore., Oct. 7.—As he was speeding along at a fast clip on his motorcycle, near hero Saturday, Super intendent of Public Instruction Aider- man hit a rock while dodging another in the road, with the result that tonight he is suffering from a broken leg. Mr. Alderman had been nero attend ing the Teachers' Institute, and was nearing Albert Luke, enroute to Burns, to attend the Harney county institute. He was brought back to Lakeview. Mr. Alderman will leave for Salem Monday via Sacramento. WANT CHANNEL IMPROVED Concerted action by delegates from the various cities of the Willamette Valley was taken during the past week at Albany to bring about the improve ment of the channel of the Willamette nver so that sufficient depth will be attained for the operation of stcamc rs the year through between up«r valley points and Portland. A six-foot chan nel was discussed and the Government will be urged to carry this project to a successful conclusion. Of vital interest to the people throughout the northwest, particularly to those living in the small towns and on the farm, and also to the country merchant, is the parcels post system which will go into effect on January 1, 1913. It is thought that its inaugura tion will awaken new kinds of competi tion in trade. With very cheap rates on packages of eleven pounds and un der, the country merchant will probably be first to feel its effect, because, say postal officials, the business expected for the parcels post is to be largely farm and factory products. It is here that the mail order houses will come into rivalry with the county merchant, whose only recourse will be to adopt the methods of the business houses of the larger centers. Under the new system a postmaster can furnish ser vice fur a C. O. D. shipment when de sired. Jacob Spaniol installed a Leader wa ter system and did the other plumbing for J. W, Nipple in his new house at West Slayton. Mr. Nipple’s house is modern in every respect and is a credit to our neighboring town on the west.

HIGH SCHOOL FUND LAW IS A SUCCESS IN LINN CO . i Below is an open letter from Super intendent W. L. Jackson of Linn county relative to the success of the High Schrol Fund Law which is to be voted on in Marion county at the general ction. “ In reply to your request rH. tiv o the Fund law, which has been .. oper i tion in this county for the past four years, may I briefly state in answer to your letter that the concensus of pu'. lie opinion, after a trial of four years, is strongly in favor of the law. It has proved to be a step in favor of the in terests of the masses of the people at d more especially to the rural communi ties. All classes of property is assessed to create a fund ami in this county the tax has not exceeded a one-half mill for a maintenance fund.” "We have sixteen high schools in the county and one other being organized by combining nine districts, however, the law may be applied to either the single district or to the union of dis tricts." "The rural high school is a promote» in every sense of the word as it holds people in the country who would move to town, and it also brings the h <h school in reach of many poor people who could not give their children hifeh school privileges. ’' • 4 •>:
