The effort to re-open the Southern
Oregon State Normal School at
Ashland seems to have secured the
uite general support of the coun
ties of Southern Oregon. This fact
should help that effort, for the peo
ple of the state have too long con
adered the state's schools as means
a passing out "spoils" from the
atafte treasury to the several locali
3e? where they are situated.
The schools were in operation
under biennial appropriations from
the legislature for fourteen years,
to the session of 1909, the appropri
ation bill after passing the house,
failed in the senate, and the regents
were without authority to continue
She school. The plant consists of
two main school buildings, women's
fsrmitory, men's dormitory, gym
nasium, library, heating plant and
onsiderable equipment all of this
the property of the state of Oregon
and free from indebtedness or in
tumbrance of any kind. The school
is under the state board of normal
school regents, a board appointed
irom citizens of counties having no
3tate educational institution, hence
its management in the interest of
je entire state is assured. No
ftizen of Jackson county is on the
ioard.
The committee behind this effort,
eomposed of prominent citizens
irom each of the seven counties of
Southern Oregon, emphasizes three
points in their argument for the re
tstablishment of the school.
They point out, first, that a Nor
jnai school is not a school of high
education, but is for the sole pur
pose of training teachers in the
common schools-
Second, that the state spends over
13,000,000 annually on its common
schools, and that from a standpoint
of economy alone, this school should
be maintained that the common
jtthools may have trained teachers
.In other words, that this $5,000,000
of taxpayers' money shall be spent
through teachers who know their
business The efficiency of our
common school teachers should be
of prime concern to the citizen. He
employs a clever lawyer; he is par
ticular about the doctor he calls in.
How much more particular he should
be with the ability of the trainer of
his children.
President Campbell, of the State
University, says: "There could be
no greater extravagance than that
of spending large sums of money on
public schools which are 'kept' by
untrained teachers."
Third, it is pointed out that the
history of every state in the Union
proves that all normal schools (and
the same is true to some extent of
the colleges) are decidedly local as
to their spheres of influence. For
instance, the normal school at Mon
mouth has only thirteen pupils from
the seven counties of Southern Ore
gon, and only thirty-three from the
eastern half of the state.
In vain have the eastern states
undertaken to make one large cen
trally located normal school serve all
the state. The attendance has come
mostly from its immediate neigh
borhood, and the rest of the state
has been without the influence of
normal training in its common
schools. The result has been that
state after state has changed to a
policy of taking the school to the
people. Oregon is the only state in
the Union that ever reduced the
number of its normal schools. Cali
fornia has eight normal schools and
85 per cent of her common school
teachers have had normal training.
Oregon has one normal school.
Eighty per cent of last year's appli
cants for teachers' certificates had
no training above the eighth grade.
It is pointed out that the various
collateral facts pertaining to a
proper location for a normal school
are decidedly favorable in respect
to Ashland. Climatically it can
not be surpassed. The size of the
town (6,000) gives the school a local
constituency, which furnishes a sub
stantial basis on which to build as
well as to maintain a thoroughly ef- j
ficient training school. Ashland has
one of the finest high schools in the
state. It is the eldest high school
in the state outside of Portland.
The committee wisely makes little j
ado about the attitude Jackson
county has taken toward other edu
jational interests in this state; but
it is fair to call attention to the fact
that in the normal school vote of
1910 Jackson county gave the larg
est county majority for the normal
school at Weston and the second
largest (Multnomah only exceeding)
for the Monmouth normal. In 1912
the Agricultural College and U. of
O. millage bill received the second
largest county majority from Jack
son; and in 1908 and 1913 the Uni
versity of Oregon appropriation
bills received their third largest
(Multnomah and Lane leading)
county majority from Jackson. The
vote of other Southern Oregon
counties was proportionately as
strong. Their people believe in and
support state schools.

The German plan of setting out fruit
trees along the highways Is to be tried
in Missouri What Is known on the
Hlue Book route, extending from the
MlHgourl river at Kansas City to the
MlBulHslppl river at Louisiana, Mo.. Is
to be planted to peach trees and will
be hereafter known as the Elborta
route, as it Is to be lined with trees of
that variety. A law Is to be passed
which will Insure the protection of the
trees, while the fruit produced by them
will become a part of the road fund for
the upkeep of the highway.
ofllces of like manner in all coun
ties. Mr. Irving states in his article
thit he is willing to show that taxes
will not increase by chopping up the
present county. We wish to be
shown here, for example, who will
donate three county court houses
and grounds for same. We also
wonder whereby the chopping up
of the present county would benefit
the taxpayers of same as was at
tempted to be proven bv the same
article by saving the taxpayers
trips to the proposed county seats,
wherever they may be located. The
distance will be very little less in
any of the proposed counties, as for
instance in saving witness fees.
Then you may figurs the three
sets of county officers that will be
required, also the extra bunch of
deputies. And further, the com
mission government as provided by
the state for each county, even
though its area is but a square
mile.
This is a small matter when com
pared with the great expense neces
sary to erect the county buildings,
We would estimate each building in
each county at about 1100,000. This
alonewould mean an outlay of over
a quarter million dollars, besides
the expense of grounds for building
purposes. This would mean a grind
ing on the taxpayers for the next
twentv-five years.
The writer would thank anyone
who could show by facts and figures
where the present proposed county
division will reduce actual expenses
by this chopping up of dear old
Crook county. Very respectfully,
