IL I Classified Ads work while you sleep; you will find them a very quick medium for your wants 308 X YES IS A VOTE FOR YOUR CHILDREN SQUARE DEAL FOR EASTERN OREGON If you are In favor of a square deal for the country East of the Cascades you will rote for and work for THE PROPOSED EASTERN OREGON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL AT PENDLETON, OREGON. Oregon has but one Normal School. This school Is located at Monmouth and is not able to supply more than TEN PER CENT of the teachers re quired in the public schools of Oregon. Of the more than six thousand teachers in our public schools, BUT 13 PER CENT are graduates of Nor mal Schools, it is a matter of simple justice to the country East of the Cascades to establish a Normal School East of the mountains to furnish thoroughly trained teachers for the schools of Eastern Oregon. TRAINED INSTRUCTORS WANTED Every resident of Eastern Oregon has a vital In terest in the passage of this measure for Eastern Oregon pays HIGH SALARIES to her teachers and is entitled to the services of TRAINED INSTRUCTORS. ONLY COSTS 4 CENTS PER $1,000 The annual cost of maintenance of the proposed State Normal School amounts to BUT ONE 25TH OF A MILL OR 4 CENTS ON A THOUSAND DOL LARS of taxable property. Isn't It worth this to you to have your children trained to become USE FUL AND PRODUCTIVE citizens? STRONG ENDORSEMENT t. J. A. Churchill, the State Superintendent tg Public Instruction, voices the sentiment of the educators of the state when he says: "Oregon's greatest need for its rural schools is the teacher who has had full preparation to do her work. Such preparation can best come through Normal School training. "I trust that the voters of the state will assist In raising the standard of our schoojs by establishing a State Normal School at Pendleton. The location Is central, the interest of the people of Pendleton in education most excellent, and the large number of pupils in the public schools will give ample oppor tunity to all students to get the amount of teaching practice required in a standard normal school." The educators of the State insist that Standard Normal Schools be located In towns of 6000 popula tion or more and having ENOUGH GRADE PUPILS FOR TEACHER PRACTICE. t BE LOYAL AND VOTE RIGHT' Show your loyalty to the best Interests of Eastern Oregon and of the whole state by working for this measure and by voting YES FOR NO. 308. By vot ing YES for No. 308 you will help to GIVE TO THE SCHOOL CHILDREN OF OREGON THE SAME ADVANTAGES ENJOYED BY THE SCHOOL CHILDREN OF OUR NEIGHBORING STATES. Eastern Oregon State Normal School Committee By J. H. Gwlnn, Secy., Pendleton, Ore. (Paid advertisement) The Supreme Court on Tuesday of last week handed down its de cision in the case of brewster against Crook County, in which every ruling of Judge Duffy in the trial of that ease was carefully gone over by the Supreme Court and sustained. A part of the Supreme Court's decision is as follows: "A de murrer by plaintiff to the further and separate answer was sustained and defendant predicates error upon such rutins:. It seems too plain for argument that the al legations of the further and sepa rate answer did not add anything to nor change the denial of de fendant. If there had been any error cr want of approval of the claims by the superintendant, the defendant could have shown the same under the general denial and the demurrer was properly sus tained." The Supreme Court further says in its opinion: "The. trial court judvre (Judge Puffy) thoroughly explained the issues of the case- to the jury nd plainly submitted to the latter the following questions: (1) Did the plaintiff perform nis work upon the order of the super intendent? (2) Did he present claim to the county verified by oath? (3) Did the claim have the approval of the superintendent? The jury found these three thinss in . favor of the plaintiff. The charge given properly submitted the questions of fact to the jury. The instructions of the court were in strict conformity with the statute and were not erroneous. The interests of the county are care fully safeguarded in the statute and it is our guide. Finding no error in the record, the judgment of the lower court U affirmed."

PORT UNCOMPLIMENTARY TO STATE'S SCHOOL POLICY. Pendleton, Ore. Oregon Is one of the most poorly equipped states In the Union for the training of teachers, according to the United States Bureau of Education. Only five states in the Union have less Normal equipment than Oregon. Oregon has one Normal School and forty states have more than one. New York has 18, Pennsylvania 18, Massa chusetts 12, California 8, Washington 3 and Idaho 2. The report of the Bureau of Educa tion shows that even the little state of Idaho, with a population only half ac large as that of Oregon, Is spending more than twice as much for Normal Schools as is this state. The same report urges that Normal Schools be located In the railroad centers with public schools sufficient ly large to give teaching practice to the Normal students. State Superintendent Churchill's an nual report shows that of the 6055 teachers In Oregon last year but 791, or 13 per cent, were Normal School graduates. The same official estim ated that 1000 new teachers are need ed each year and the present Normal school is turning out but 150. The majority of Normal trained teachers are shown to be teaching within a small radius of Monmouth, although Eastern Oregon pays on the average of $10.41 a month more, for teachers than does 'the Willamette Valley, The City A total of 65 high schools in Oregon have signed up for the de bating league this year. The total number of schools that were regis tered in the league last year was We Want Your Tire Business You Want Our Tire Service We are Agents for ear AND Goodrich FTTO Jl ares Why not Make Your Mileage Adjustments Here Which You Can Do by Dealing With UsSend Us Your Vulcan izing, Battery and Electrical Work Inland Auto Co.
