MAYBE YES, AND Councilman Tooze
THEN MAYBE NO chairman of the
pure water committee of the city
council, in reporting before that body
this week, said that it was the inten
tion of the investigating board to
make a report upon the several water
sources found to be available, and
then place the matter in the hands of
the people for final decision. The
people have to drink the water, and
they have to pay for its procurement,
argued Mr. Tooze, so they should
have the final say as to whether they
would drink river, water,.' artesian
well water from the Ladd tract, or
water piped in' from Canby.
At first glance this seems reason
able enough. But as it also seems
likely that there is to be a choice of
three sources, it might be unwise to
submit the matter to popular vote for
decision. It might be better to employ
experts to analyse the three sources,
and then to have the council select
the source that seemed the best un
der scientific investigation. If the
people do not approve this decision,
there will be ample opportunity for
protest.
Were the matter submitted to pop
ular vote, it is not at all impossible
that the majority might vote for a
continued use of river water. Once
" an epidemic of sickness has passed,
people are quick to forget the dangers
that lurk in such a supply, and the
estimated cost of the other sources
might force the majority to favor a
foolish economy. On the other hand,
with the matter submitted to popular
vote, personal inclination and prefer
ence might enter so largely into the
choice between the artesian water
and the Canby water that the scien
tifically purer might not be selected.
Drinking water is something that
ought not to be mixed up with politics.
personal preference or any other un
certain factor. Oregon City needs
the best water that it can get as
does every other community and in
selecting its supply it will be safer to
abide by the verdict of scientists and
Our Educational System
Must Include Voca
tional Training
By President SIDNEY E. MEZES of the University of Texas
'HE industrial revolution,
business in its various manifestations, have GREATLY
DISTURBED OUR OLD EDUCATIONAL IDEALS.
Now we are brought face to face with the growing belief
that educational institutions, particularly those that derive their op
portunity from a tax on all the people, must FIT MEN AND WO
MEN FOR SPECIFIC VOCATIONS and must also render back
to the people direct and immediate service.
WHETHER WILLING OR UNWILLING THE UNIVERSITIES OF
THIS COUNTRY MUST ASSUME THEIR SHARE OF RESPONSIBILITY
FOR VOCATIONAL EFFICIENCY ,BY EXTENDING OUR EDUCATIONAL
8YSTEM SO THAT IT WILL INCLUDE TRAINING FOR ALL THE
IMPORTANT VOCATIONS.

experts than it will to accept the will
of the majority. All people will, of
course, want the best water-but
what may seem best to them may not
be actually the best from a chemical
or sanitary point of view. The coun
cil is to be trusted in this water mat
ter, and should select the source, of
supply, making its selection solely
upon the grounds of purity. There is
no economy in using water that may
be tainted, or the supply of which
may give out.
ANOTHER BRIGHT A correspond
AND NEW SCHEME ent writes us
that the establishment of a "ladies
improvement club" in the - neighbor
hood has had several unexpected and
beneficial effects. "Some of the
members' husbands acknowledge a
decided improvement in their wives"
dispositions," says the correspondent.
This is really not as strange as it
might at first seem. Presumably
this "ladies improvement club" is
concerning itself with community
problems, and is thus affording the
women a chance to investigate faults
and problems of their home . town.
This gives them an insight into mat
ters which heretofore have been dark
mysteries, and with understanding
has probably come both a determina
tion to better things and a forgive
ness for the men for allowing bygone
conditions to exist. Hence it has
been observed that their dispositions
have improved.
Where heretofore hubby has come
home half an hour late for dinner, and
has tracked mud all over the kitch
en floor, later to be taken to task for
his carelessness; in the future on
such occasions he may expect to be
greeted with smiles-and: "I know it
isn't .your fault, dear. The condition
of the streets is shocking, but that is
because you men haven't known how
to better them. We women of the
improvement club are going to start
a movement to tile the roads, and af
ter that is done the surface water will
drain off, and you can get home early
every night."
Here's hoping that the "ladies im
provement club" keeps up the good
work, and that it betters both local
condtions and local dispositions. If
the women make the town a model
one, and if they improve their own
dispositions by removing causes of
worry and discord, there will be no
excuse for the men to fail to improve
and pretty soon the place will be a
veritable Heaven on earth. And' as
its fame spreads new settlers will
rush in, and so the future of the com
munity be assured.
