MONMOUTH, Or., March 20. (Edi tor Oregon City Kntorprlso ) The Htuiletit I lody of tho Oregon Hlatn Normal School at Monmouth rei(iieIH a hearing through your loIuii.iis, In regard to thu Normal scu'eil contro versy. Wu feel that our school nnd Ha (acuity and Nludeuta have been grossly wronged not ouly In thu full- uru of tho Legislature to provide sup port, but In tho unjust and titilruo statements published In many papers. Tho Monmouth achool lias been op erated ainru Jauuary 1, 1 D07, without funds, lu addlUun, great publicity was given th" fact that thu Hoard of Ki-foiiU bad closed tho lustltutloa In July, 1SKI7. fur lack of funds ami llllki uotica takn of the fact that the auuiu Hoard au-i-pted largo donations from friends of the Normal, and re opened it lo -August, 19U7. Tiwso facts, coupled with the uaturai four of studeuia and their parvnta taal the acbxMU uilgkl be unable to complete thu yvar, combined to ahakw conA deiuw and made a bundlcjgi almost lUMuoerabto, la spile of all these admrsos, tho old "Moemouth Spirit" raso to the occasion and alumni and trlimds rais ed and .paid Into thu Stale treasury sbt thoasmid dollar to usable tho re Si iits .in carry ou the acliool during the ywir 1WI7-8. Tho Jocal acluKil dis trict doubled Its special tax and added lve thoiiHand dollara. Tuition ro receljits amounted to urnre than three thoimund dollara. Tb .faculty donat ed In salary reduction flvo thousand dolUirs, making a tuial irovlsiou of iilneieun thousand dollars for the (liar's budget. Hut otuj cent of which was supplied by the stuito. .A similar plun was followed for the present year, l.loKU.,only of nco Mislty the resourt-i,a wero more limlt ul. The local scbxxd district paid the salaries of tho l'rlorpal of the Train ing Department and of (he four critics, 4itul other expenses to the amount of live thousand dollars,. Seven addition al Instructors were employed, flvo ac cepting the mere jdMnuco of fifty dol lara a month and two, President Res sler and Mr. Duller, donating their aer vices. The teacher"' salary sacrifice this year amounts to nearly six thou sand dollars. Tuition receipts will bo above twenty-five hundred dollars, the cash donations will amount to over three thousand dollars, making a total for the year of about seventeen thou sand dollars, with not a penny from the statu. Utst year, MonincmUi students paid twenty-five dollars tuition, double the charges made at the other State Nor mals nui at tho Slate .I'lilverslty and Agricultural College, This year, the students liave cheerfully paid the samo fee aud when tho repulur session of the Legislature adjourned without milking an appropriation, a student mnss meeting was called, where one hundred and ten students subscribed over fourteen hundred dollnrB In or der that tho school should not be closed. Practically all of us are self siuuiortliiK and yet we gladly put up onr liurtl-earned money .both becauso wu watit Normal training and because we juuan to stand by our dear old sclsKd to the very last. We are also sclf-rcspcctlng and re sent bitterly tho unfair and untrue cliargea against our school. We know and evry ,fuir-nilnded person may know by the least Investigation that Monmouth Ih and has been a bona fide Normal School. Under the adverse conditions, .forty-eight gradnntua were sent out last year and there will be over forty the coming June. ,Qf last year's Senior clnss, forty-five are now- teaching, two are students iu cullego and one la married. Ninety-three of last year's one hundred and seventy- four students are known to be teach ing. Most of tho remaining have re turned to school this year. Ninety-one and eight tenths per cent of the grad untes during the past five yean are still teaching and the percentage for tho wholo twenty-i)evenKyear8 Is over sixty. Theso and other reliable aud au thentic statistics have been published from yeur to year and aro available. to all. Our school aud Its good name nnd reputation aro the capital of grad uates und students, nnd the loss of this capital through abuse and mis represent ut Ion means bankruptcy. Monmouth cannot bo crushed. Like Truth, "though crushed to earth, she will rise again; tho eternal years of Cod aro hers." Gentlemen of the press, give us a "Bquar deal."
