ADAMS DEPT. STORE OREGON CITY'S BUSY STORE WANT NEW NORMAL Pendleton Sponsors for Training School Point Out Its Need Fred Lockley, former Pendleton newspaper man, has been delegated by the citizens of Pendleton who are boosting for the establishment there of another state normal school, to present to the public the necessity of such an institution in order that the state may be properly equipped to turn out trained teachers for the chil dren of Oregon. Mr. Lockley Was in Oregon City on Saturday and discussed the proposed school. He points out, in the follow ing interview, the lack of preparation of Oregon teachers and shows the ad vantage of having a teachers' train ing school in eastern Oregon. "In looking up the law relative to the location of the proposed eastern Oregon Normal school at Pendleton a rather interesting situation was dis covered by the sponsors of -the new school," said Mr. Lockley. "It seems that the constitution of Oregon pro vided that all state institutions should be located at the state capital. The constitution has never been amended, so there is no legal authority for the location of the Soldiers' home at Rose burg, the state university at Eugene, the state normal school at Monmouth or the Oregon Agricultural college at Corvallis. It was thought best in se curing the location of the eastern Ore gon State Normal school at Pendle ton to amend the constitution to vali date the location of the state institu tions, which are not located at the state capital and to authorize the lo cation of the Eastern Oregon State Normal at Pendleton. "In submitting the question of es tablishing a State Normal school in Eastern Oregon the sponsors of the proposed measure give some interest ing facts in connection with the pres ent Normal school situation. "Among the facts brought out are the following: During the year just passed there were 6,055 school teach ers employed in the public schools of Oregon. Only 791 of this number were graduates of a Normal school. This means that only 13 per cent of Oregon's teachers had received normal instruction and adequate preparation for the important work of shaping and molding the plastic minds of our chil dren. The country schools suffer most from this dearth of trained teachers for the graduates of the Normal Uniting Learning and Labor THE OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE In its Six Schools and Forty-eight De partments is engaged in the great work of uniting Learning and Labor.

WAIKKR( President. THOS. F. Vice schools, on account of the greater so cial advantages and the higher pay, prefer to teach in the cities. "Oregon is remiss in the matter of providing adequate facilities for the training of teachers. As a matter of fact only five states in the union have less normal equipment than Oregon. Forty states have more than one Nor mal school; California has eight; Mas sachusetts 12, New York 18, and Pennsylvania 18. Idaho has about half the population of Oregon yet Idaho spends twice as much money each year on her Normal schools as does Oregon. "Oregon teachers have long realiz ed the need of more adequate facili ties along the line of Normal instruc tion and have passed resolutions call ing for the establishment of a Normal school in Eastern Oregon. At pres ent many students who have decided to take up teaching as a life wark are leaving Oregon to attend the Normal schools in neighboring states. "The Normal school at Monmouth is greatly overcrowded and Monmouth being a small village there are but few pupils to be utilized in the Nor mal training classes. "The establishment of the proposed Eastern Oregon Normal school at Pendleton has been endorsed by the leading men of the state including such men as Governor Withycomb; President Kerr of the O. A. C; Pres ident Campbell of the state univer sity; President Ackerman of the Mon mouth Normal; J. A. Churchill, su perintendent of public instruction, and many other noted educators. The question of the establishment of this school is to be submitted to the vot ers at the election next November." R. L.

LAND OPEN TO ENTRY Five Thousand Homesteads May Be Taken Out of Grant Within the succeeding year and a half at least 5000 homesteads will be carved out of the Oregon-California grant lands and entered upon by homesteaders, and the commencement made towards breaking up the wide extending wilderness that has been held intact for half a century by the Oregon and California and the South ern Pacific railroads. Louis Sharp, chief of the field di vision of the geral land office, will Sale BATHING CAPS RYAN, President. JOHN R. HUMPHRYS, Cashier. leave with a large force of men during the coming week to begin the task ef classifying the agricultural land of the Oregon & California grant. He will commence his work close to the California boundary, in Jackson or Josephine counties, and work north until all of the 2,300,000 acres of the grant have been examined and put in the classifications in which each parcel belongs under the terms of the grant land act. It is guessed, for no one knows at this time, that approximately 800,000 acres of the grant lands will fall clearly within the agricultural classifi cation, and this acreage will furnish 5000 homesteads of 160 acres each. It is probable, however, that the clas sification will result in many 40-acre tracts being added to this, so that the total number of homestead entries which will ultimately come from the grant will be much in excess of 5000. It is announced by Mr. Sharp that the agricultural lands will be opened to entry as rapidly as they are clas- sinea, under the unit system. Under this plan aa soon as Mr. Sharp and his crews finish the classification of a designated unit of land, this will be reported to Ue general land office, checked and accepted by it, and the local offices be notified to open the tract to entry. It is expected that the first unit will be ready some time dur ing the fall of the present year.
