He is a Winntr.
The race for Mayor of Oregon City on next Monday promises to be
a hot one and at the time of going to press on Thursday the results is
very much m doubt. Mayor bimick says the race is "easy" and that
he will be re-elected by an increased majority. John J. Cooke who is
running against him says that he will )vin with plenty to spare and the
friends of each candidate are equally, confident. Each has filed his
petition of nomination with Bruce C. Curry and no nominating conven
tion will be held. That either candidate will make a good safe and con
servative official is conceded by all.
No more active or progressive citizen has, ever lived in Oregon
City than John J. Cooke. . He is now in the prime of his manhood.

The Novembe meeting of the Ckcka
ma3 county leacber's Association was
held in the Barclay school building,
Oregon City, last Satuiday.' 1 he at
tendance, although enod, was not up to
i he usual standard, due to a delay in the
issuing Of the program. The meeting
was called to order at 10;30 a. in.,
Superintendent J. C. Zin er in the
chair.
The ruinates of the previous infetinu
were read end approved . Ti e superin
tendent then hpoke of the delmhtful
meeting at Orient, mentioning Prof.
Bolland and other epeakers oi the day.
The program for the nueiing was then
duly opened by Mis Murtlm Smrrhlrr
with "Home lieonrnphy" a her subject
She brought before the teachers, that
the first word in Geography was purely
nature studv and oral -oik; that the
child should be led to see rmnething.

subject when she advocated the teach

The subject was ably dismissed by
Superintendent Zinser, who explained
tlmt the teacher relied too much on
bonks and not enough on his own in
divivnality. Teaching is causing the
cp ild to h ink. he said. The superintend
ent i-howed the teacher that she muct
dwell nn home seogianhv. as the well
developed types commenced right there
Tiits subject was hpo discussed by Miss
Borii g Prof. McCann, Prof French and
Prof Kault.
"Manual Work" was the topic assign
ed Miss Boring, and she explained that
a child inu't. receive something more
than mental education ; that he natural
ly delighted in the product of his own
hands, and why not encourage him?
it was clearly demonstrated that
mamml training did away with a great
deal of drudery i..cideniS to J'fe in the
scnoni room, jhips Hiring then in

paper folding,
TIif noon kour rolled around only too
soon, and th s highly interesting subject
had 'to be con' in lied in the afternoon
session, as the association adjourned
untill:30p ni.
Before the appointed time f r the
meeting to open in the afternoon,
teachers were seen with rarhia in one
hand and the needle in the other, learn
ing to make mats of various kinds. The
Mght reminded nue, of a colo y of ants

upon her work in the afternoon it was

Fin Hy it was moved and carried that
teachers should do something lowiid

some future date at a time and place to
be named by the superintendent.
Intermediate Geography, by Prof.
Eccles, of Canby, was the next subject
on me program . tie caned tor general
work, not too much detail. His mental
pictures of the grand divisions were to
pronounced that one fancied lie saw a
life-sized picture of Europe or Asia, as
the case might be. Prof. Eccles' talk
was an instructive one.which covered his
subject thoroughly, and was highly np
preciaieu.
A Practical Education" was the
subject of an interesting paper by Mr.
Dreeser, oi this City . He explained that
tne teachers should make bis plan as to
what he was going to make of the boys
or gins of his school. While this gentle
man was of the opinion that the future
of the child his avocation, etc., de
pended largely on the teacher, yet he
was willing to admit that the teacher
had her side of the case too, for she had
an I inns oi material to deal with. Mr
Dresser stated farther, that a practical
education would eventually do away
wi'b saloons and other engines of evil.
his tain was well received, as be was
speaking from a business man's stand
point.
Prof. French closed the program with
a paper on the National Educational
Association. He outlined a few of the
happy thoughts which he had carried
with him from the Association. Among
them were these.
"A teacher should be a true scholar to
be loyal to bia calling."
"The education of the son and daughter
of a farmer must be aLng the line of his
environments."
"The country school patrons must
realize that the school is a, common
interest."
"A short distance intervenes between
a child's admiration and his imitation
' The best book in literature and in
law is the Bible, which it not to be used
in a sectarian way."
The teachers were glad to hear from
Mr. French, and they hope to hear his
familiar voice again.
It was moved and carried that the
election of officers be postponed until
the next meeting.
A vote of thanks was extended to Prof,
trench and to Mr. dresser lor their
able and interesting talks; to Superin
tendent Zinser for the instructive
Bulletin, and to the officers and teachers
for their courteous treatment mid
cordiality to the teachers of the court.
On motion the association adjour ed,
to meet at the call of Superintend!. nt
Zinser.
Oregon Cily needs a public library
and needs it badly. That a town of be
tween five and six thousand people,
should be w ithout a public library of any '
description in this up-to-date weBtern
country, seems incredible.
J. C. Zinser, Superintendent of County
'chool8, lias been agitming the matter
for sometime, and through his efforts it
may be that libraiy wdi be established
which will till a Un g fell want.
A committee lias been appointed to
take the niHtier in han! and it is to be
sincerely hoped that they will 6oon ac
complish something alcing tins ;ine. The
committee appointed is as follows: J.
O-Zinser, Eva Emeiy li'e, 0. H. Cau- -Held,
C. B. Mooie. A is. DreBter, Mrs.
Adams and E. E. Chaiman. 1
Just w hat steps w ill be taken to pro- -mote
the libiary we ate not as yet in
formed, if, indeed, th commitie ihem-
selves are aware, tint ihat something :
definite will be done there seems little-"
doubt. A prominent leciurei and an -authority
on library niatteis irom San
Francisco lias been invited to make an,
addreBS here at an earl date aud we
are informed that lie baa accepted the
ii.vitation.
There are between twelve and fifteen
hundied worlii g people in Oregon City
people who earn their living hy their
day's wage, and they are a class to-
whom a public library ought to appeal
more th tn to aiv oilier clas-i. Tl.ey are .
a people that a public 1 brary will prove,
of great bent lit to, and for their sake,
more than lor any oilier persons, we
hope that a library, which will be free
to the public will be established in this
town. Mr. Zinser thinks that Mr. An-
diew Carnegie could be interested in the
matter aud would perhaps make a lib
eral contribution, if the people of Ore--gon
Cily would put up their part.
