OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, MAY 1, 1908.
WOMEN'S COLUMN
EDITED BY OREGON CITY WOMEN'S CLUB.
The Woman's Club of Oregon City
fcassed a resolution endorsing the ap
propriation for the University of Ore
gon. We hope that every club wo
man and every mother ot a bright
boy or girl will give this subject some
good, serious thought, and try and In
duce some man to vote for the appro
priation. One argument against the
appropriation Is that the added tax
would be a burden to the poor people.
The additional tax would be 25 cents
on a thousand dollars. The small tax
payer would not feel It, and the heavy
lax payer can anora iu u coincident with establishment of pub-
8o small to mean so much to the iu- j llc scn00S-
tUOreinhis Vuat'w.klng from a long.' "The education of child is a costly

system of public schools, bringing edu
cation within the reach of all, is the
universally accepted explanation of the
present might of the German Empire.
The victories of Sedan and Gravelotte
were the triumphs not of Bismarck
and Von Moltke, but of the German
schoolmaster.
A century and a quarter ago nearly
all education was private. It was the
privilege of the governing few. Rus
sia's condition is typical of educational
conditions in those days. The curch
of freedom is coincident with the
spread of education and education is

any state, but how about our higher
institutions? How do they compare
withtother States?
The Agricultural College is a credit
to the state. The work being done
there Is of the most Importance to the
state. The results show In the improv
ed methods of farming, and along many
other lines that we haven't space to
mention.
The Normal Schools are doing
splendid work.
The University has accomplished
much. There is not a section of the'
State that has not felt its influence,
many of our brightest men In all the
professions owe their education and
training to the University. The Uni
versity and the Agricultural College
should go hand in hand and produce a
generation of men and women supe
rior to those of any other State. Both
schools are dependents of the State;
why should one be refused proper
support? It is not necesary to go Into
comparative statistics with our sister
states. We will Just mention Wash
ington with a fine Agricultural Col
lege and a State University that they
appropriate liberally for each year.
One danger that threatens our State
is when our young men and women go
to other states for the education they
should have at home, they are likely
to form new ties and remain in other
places, thus depriving our state of the
Intelligent men and women who prop
erly belong to It
. It is not the dull boys and girls who
go to college, but the bright, up-to-date
ones, particularly those who have
to earn their own way through school.
A sure way to pass the appropriation,
is for every woman to influence one
vote for It. There Is not a woman in
the country who cannot have at least
one vote to her credit, thereby sav
ing the State the humiliation of prac
tically losing one of its greatest in
stitutions of learning. One of Ore
gon's great heeds is people. What can
we say to desirable settlers when
they are looking about for new homes,
if we cannot offer as good a University
as other states without as many natur
al advantages as our own fair State?
Women, get to work and we will
be able to show what can be done by
women and when the vote is counted
in June the majority for the appro
priation will be so overwhelming that
our University will be on an equal
footing with any in the Union and a
pride of every citizen of our progres
sive state.
to give more than the most rudlmen
tary education at their own expense.
It Is of interest to the state and so
ciety that all should be educated and
that the means of a liberal education
should be within the reach of all. The
money value of the individual to the
state depends on his education, but
the investment, unlike the time spent
in learning a technical trade, may not
be realized from except after a term
of years and therefore only the rich
can afford to make the Investment."
TOM MORTZ BAD MAN.
Flourishes Knife and Eludes Officers
by Taking to Woods.
Tom Mort is wanted by the local
authorities on a charge of assault with
a dangerous weapon, but so far he has
managed to escape the officers. Mortz
has been working in the paper mills
and several days ago he took a crazy
turn and went after Frank Bullard
with a knife and also conceived a vio
lent dislike for Mr. Cole, and it was
deemed prudent to take him into cus
tody, as he is a former inmate of the
State Insane Asylum and mentally ir
responsible. Last Wednesday con
stable Bradley, accompanied by spe
cial Officer Miles and one other, went
to West Oregon City and got a line
on Mortz, who took to the woods. The
pepper boxes were forced In to action,
with the expectation of frightening
Mortz and compelling him to stop,
but the aill timber was too inviting,
and although Miles fired six shots and
Bradley five, the fleeing man never
looked back.
First School in Clackamas County.
The first school in Oregon in Ore-,
gon City, was founded by the late S. i
W. Moss.
In 1845 Mr. Moss asked John P. I
Brooks to get the settlers' children to-1
gether in a log house that he owned, j
and start a school. Mr. Brooks de- j
murred, saying that the emigrants j
were "too poor to pay any tuition." j
Mr. Moss replied, "Who said anything I
about tuition. I will pay the bills, you j
teach the school and I will do the rest"
which he did for some time, until ar- j
rangements could be made for a per-
manent school. '

Name Our Homes. j
How many times have we heard
the remark, Why are there so many '
homes in the country without names? '
About the only way one can find where '
any one lives is by the name on the
mail boxes. I
There are so many beautiful farms
and country places that should have J
a suggestive name. i
This subject has been agitated from
time to time without much result '
Now there so many people coming
into the country to make homes, I
would it not be well for the older
farmers to set a good example by hav
ing a name for their farm, displayed
over the entrance gate, so that In a
year or so every farm will be known
by a name of its own.
The following extract of an article
in the Club, Notes by Mrs. D. C. West
enhaver, will be interesting at the
present time. "What is . the best
method of, providing education? Which
is the best system of schools, one
owned, maintained and operated by
governmental agencies as a state func
tion at the public expense, or a sys
tem of private schools, owned, main
tained and operated as a private busi
ness at private expense? Stated thus,
the question answers Itself. In this
rlar and feneration nn nprsnn Ik hrnvn
enough to assert that education of !
any kind, good, bad, or Indifferent,
can be provided at all (except for a
limited number), otherwise than
through a system of public schools.
To assert a preference for a private
system is to assert a preference for
aristocratic government over1 popular
government Schools for everybody
provided by the public go hand in
band with the evolution of people
from despotism to liberty. Education,
as a private enterprise, makes it the
privilege and ornament of a class; and
that class is the ruling aristocracy
whether of birth or wealth.

history. The establishment in Ger
