CITY OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER.
SPELLING AS AN ESSENTIAL in the education of the child is one
of the main features of the reform plans that the new superintendent,
Professor J. E. Calavan, has for the county schools. He believes
that the average child in the schools of the county is woefully lacking in that
training that enables him to readily and quickly spell the words that he wants
to use.
Some of the examination papers that have been received at his office in
the past few days emphatically prove this belief of the superintendent. In
most of them, the words are consistently jumbled and the spelling is worse
than poor. Throughout the files of papers that he has received, the spelling
of the children is the most vital defect that strikes the eye. It impresses it
self upon the reader at first glance. The grammar is often poor and the
sentences loosely worded.
But the county superintendent is not so much distressed over this fact
as he is over the neglect that he sees in the training of the child in matters
of. spelling. He believes that every practical word should be taught to the
child. He can see no use in teaching to the pupils of the schools those words
for which they will never have the slightest demand. In his instructions to
the teachers, he has told them to teach only those words that they themselves
are frequently called upon to use and to insist that the child thoroughly learns
them before passing on to the next step.
The spelling book is not the only source from which the teachers are to
get the words that the child should kpow. Hereafter, every important and
frequently used geographical name is to be included in the list of words and
the child will face them as he faces every other portion of his school work.
In this one important feature, the schools throughout the county have
been deficient. But Clackamas county is not the only place in the state where
the schools have not carefully carried out a rigid program of spelling lessons.
The children who graduate from the institutions of Multnomah, Marion,
and every other county of the state have shown the training that they have
received while they were there and the neglect that is evident from the ex
amples of their work.
There are other commendable features of the superintendent's program
In the first place, he wants to train the child to asily and naturally all of
the words and phrases of his native language without any oi u.; many stilted
and bombastic expressions for which the high school student shows the great
est affection. Most of the children who pass through the grammar and high
school grades of the schools cannot realize the importance of the simple words
and the clearness of thought carried by the shortest sentences and phrases. In
all of the composition work that the office has received, the child adopts those
sentences that strentch through line after line, evidently believing that he has
just so many words to write and so many lines to fill and that the longer are
his sentences, the easier will be his task.
Professor Calavan, however, thinks differently.- He believes that as
soon as the child begins the study of grammar, he should be taught that the
short, simple, meaningful expressions are best. Bombastic sentences and
stilted pharses are not wanted under the new program.
The records of the superintendent's office show enough evidence to sup
port the theories that he has announced. The plans that he has are com
mendable and the schools will be much more of real, practical value to the
child if thev at once adopt these policies of work.

which competition could itself impose, was less a factor in the
railway problem than discrimination and combination, the two things most

to be much the lesser evil of the two. Regulated combination was even ad-

mitted to be a possible element in rate-making; advantageous to public interest
What was asserted was the necessity of stricter supervision, not only to pre
vent discrimination and suppressive combination, but such exploitations of the
investing public as had been clearly shown, and of which we have since seen
more recent examples.
This was said more than -half adozen years ago. It is all justified in re
sults. Stories of financial exploitations of railway lines point the wisdom of
laws for making thembre difficult. The United States Supreme Court has .
more than once spoken, in the meantime, in plain enunciation of the public
policy involved in regulatory laws of the restraint of oppressive combination,
and in marking a rule of reason for the proper limitation of such activities. .
There is a growing understanding of the fact that railway rates, fairly and
evenly laid, without discriminations favoring some concerns and municipali
ties against others, and without discriminations in traffic facilities, do not
make large items in final bills of cost. Addressing the company at the an
nual dinner of the Pennsylvania society in St. Louis Monday night, President
Bush of the Missouri Pacific seems to have put the fact and the figures in a
nutshell, in a fair and conclusive way, in saying: "A unit of freight is one
ton carried one mile, and a passenger unit is one person carried one mile. An
increase of only one mill per unit would not be felt by travelers or consumers,
but, because of the vast quantities in which the transportation companies deal,
it would mean to them $300,000,000 annually in increased net revenue."
This "talks like business." There have been times, not remote, when
railway managers told the public that railway problems were beyond the com
prehension of all but railway men. The public, made up of men engaged in
other pursuits involving elements of cost, distribution, selling price, operating
expenses, profits, contigent funds, interest charges, and everything pertaining
to exchanges in commerce, would not believe that a human institution had
been evolved for business dealings with humanity in ways transcending hu
man intelligence. And here, at last, we get a concrete business proposition
f rem a great railway manager, one which every man of any business sense can
grasp in a half a minute. If any portion of the public has been deluded with
a notion that shipping rates loom big in the high cost of living, it has been
barking on the wrong side'of the tree on the other side of which that greater
public believing that protective tariff rates were responsible has been long
heard. The octopus is up another tree entirely. The tariff barkers are now
beginning to find this out. But whether the railroads can get the advance
they are asking, and to the extent they are asking it, will depend in large
measure upon their attitude toward regulatory legislation still pending. The
public has acquired a distaste, amounting to a genuine grouch, against paying
anything, however small, for the enrichment of railway financial wreckers. .
- Your money is safe here." You can
get any part of it when you want it.

You like to know before you go
and see the play. The paper
whets your appetite.
The advertising in a live news
paper like The ENTERPRISE
acts as a similar index tq what the
stores have for you.
It tells what is being sold and
where. It hints at the new styles
the new colors, the new shades
it pictures things to be seen.
Advertising, of course, some
times talks with the voice of un
restrained enthusiasm.
But it is always interesting al
ways up to date and each day it
becomes a more and more im
portant factor in your life.
reople read advertising these
days just as they Tead the news,
because it keeps them informed.
Its appeal is intensified accord

WATER SAMPLE ANALYSIS
To avoid delay and inaccurate re
sults, all persons wishing to have the
State Board of Health to examine
samples of water from wells or other
sources, should follow out these in
structions of the board
"Upon application, bacteriological
analyses of water will be made for
any resident of state. Sterilized con
tainers will be sent with instructions
for obtaining the samples.
"The directions must be carefully
observed if a true condition of the wa
ter is desired. It is a waste of time
and material to make on analysis of a
sample of water carlessly taken.
"In case water is to be sent In oth
er containers, the following directions
should be observed: i
"In securing water for analysis, a
new bottle and a new cork must be
used. To sterilize, place the bottle and
cork in a tea-kettle or other receptacle
and boil for one hour. In removing
the bottle and cork great care must
be exercised that the fingers do not
come in contact with the mouth of the
bottle or with the part of the cork to
be inserted in the bottle. This pre
pared receptacle is ready to be filled
with the water for analysis, but ex
treme care must be taken that tne
water does not touch the fingers or
any other object before it enters the
mouth of. the bottle. If from a well,
a fair quantity should be pumped out
before securing the sample. If from
a spring or stream, the bottle should
be submerged for filling. Cork cue
fully; tie the cork securely; keep in a
cool place, and transmit as soon as
possible. For a bacteriological an
alalysis, four ounces is sufficient.
When ice is procurable, take a small
box, place a good layer of sawdust in
the bottom, then a thick piece of ice,
cover this with a thin layer of saw
dust and lay the sample or samples
of water on top, then fill the remaind
er of the box with sawdust. Before
sealing the box, cover the- sawdust
with paper to prevent its sifting out
in transmission.
"Samples of water should reach the
laboratory before Saturday, as other
wise it involves Sunday work." i
When prepared in this way, the
samples may be sent directly to the
State Bord of Health, Portland, Ore
gon, and the results will be sent back
as soon as possible.
