Thanks to Mr. fledges for this gift is the spontaneous com ment. The exhibition which is to be given by the high scohool ImB all boon ar ranged and wilt probably he given sometimg iu the first of Arpil, Teach ers and students alike are working hard to make it a Huccens. The sophomora clu-s 'of the Oregon (Jity high school have decided to have green aud gold for their class colors. The pupils ot the Oregon City high school have organized a debating so ciety. Dr. Houiau, president of the Willitin ette University, addressed the stud ents of the high school Wednesday morning at their weekly assembly. Jiace Tracks was his subject. The necessity for pursuing educa tion beyond tho high school was em phasized by Dr. Homan and he made the point more emphatic by a story of a certaiu horse he had heard of. This horse, it seems, would go l'ko tho wind for just so far and thou nothing could make him go any faster. The term appliod to this horse was a "quitter" aud tho speaker urged the students not to bocotue quitters but to stick to it aud go through some higher insti tution of learning. To be able to keep up in education aud other things one must have a good previous training. Dr, Houiau told of a track meet he once attended when a man from his college was going to run iu the inilo race. This man had cnly one antagonist to fear and Dr. Honmu said lie was surprised when the man oanio on the field. The run ner from his college was a big man aud the othor was very small but very siuowy. The mile wasjnn all but the last lap, and until the last hundred "yards the little man was in the rear, but then with a great spurt of energy he reached the goal ten feet ahead of the other men. In find ing out about his proviouB history the speaker said that the man had been trained on a farm iu the middle west and was working his way through college. Iu Training to ran the race every ounce of superfluous weight was worked off so that when the day. for the race came he was iu splendid condition. That each one should have a good previous training on the prob lems of 1'te as well as athletics was emphasized bv tins illustration. A hard workor always makes a suc cess, was the next poiut. A reference to the story of the haro and t ie tor toise showed how every one if Jie wishes to reach a goal has to work for it. . - Everyone lias a certain amount of reserve power wi ioh noeds to be brought out, as the horse who was a thorough-bred and no one could make him go as fast as he was expected to. Finally his master in a tit of anger whipped him until the horse realized that only by trotting at a good pace could he escape the whip. We all have that reserve power in us and Dr. Homan said jokingly that he thougnt "We are opening up something new every day now, but owing to delay in the progress' of the work which is transforming this into a modern store-room, we are some what handicapped in displaying our splendid line.

Kogukr fchort theme in English, by Frank Clark. " Use of Elactrioity iu Farming:" About thirty years ago a Swedish professor endeavored to explain the Aurora liorealis by ueans of an elec trical current passed through vacuum tubes. Several of his experiments were conducted in a greonhouse and he noticed that the plants near by were more flourishing tliau those at a little distance. This led to a careful study and it was discovered that with two groups of plants the one which was electrified had the bettor growth. Poles are place! about oue-hnudred yard'i' apart and one post to the acre; special high tension insulators are placed ou them and wires are strung high enough to be out of Jhe way of the usual farming operations. The electricity may be generated by a com mon dynamo and it is then passed through a transformer to raise the tension. Tho negative current is then passod into the ground and the pos itive is pa?sed out over the overhead wires A discharge of the current im mediately begins and the plants ab sorb its through the leaves. As the electricity may be generated at very little cost, it is highly prob ably that in the near future farmers all over the country will have elec trical apparatus and people will hear of the extraordinary crops the Ameri can and English farmers have raised Mrs. E.
