TTTE "MORNING OREGOXIAy. WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 28, 1914. FARM MID FACTORY DISPLAY ENTICING CITY'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE SNAPPED AS HE CAST HIS VOTE IN RECALL ELECTION. WOMAN APPEALS FOR NORMAL SCHOOLS TAX LEVY Mrs. Lowell Says Distances in Oregon Justify Expenditures at Weston and Ashland (Eva P. Lowell, in Sunday Oregonian.) FOREST GROVE, Or, Oct. 23. (To the Editor.) May I add a word, among the many, to enlist the sympathy and the votes of the people of Portland and the great Wil lamette Valley, in the effort which the citi zens of Eastern and Southern Oregon are making to re-establish the normal schools at Weston and Ashland? My home is in Pendleton, and I know, the needs of the great interior counties in the matter of trained teachers. 1 am sure that the south ern counties are in the same situation. It is nearly 300 miles from my home city to Monmouth, and about the same distance from Monmouth to Medford. Is it not un reasonable to expect that teachers can af ford to travel that distance In any consid erable numbers to seek special training? Yet. Pendleton and Medford are near neigh bors to Monmouth .when one considers coun ties like Malheur and Lake, and their dis tance from the one school npw maintained. I want to make special appeal to the sup porters of the many colleges In the counties from Lane to Multnomah to rally to the ' two initiative measures restoring the East ern Oregon State Normal and the Southern Oregon State Normal. The added tax is a mere bagatelle. If we are to maintain a public school system, we must prepare teachers therefor. The demand of the age is for trained men and women. No money thus expended is wasted. The better the public schools the more of the young; people will take college courses, and the colleges thereby reap the reward ultimately. MRS. EVA P. LOWELL.

The show was packed so full of spe cial and regular features that there was enough to keep everybody's neck craning and enough to demand several subsequent visits by those who desire to see all the show. In Manager Buckley's office the rush of applicants for entry blanks for the old-fashioned baby show became so great that it was necessary to open a branch office at Lennon's, on Morrison street, and Mr. Buckley expressed an opinion that the total entries, which already have risen to 300, will pass the 600 mark in a few days. , Sandfly School Delegates Gather.

The first thing one encounters as he enters the main hall is the dem onstrator in Albers Milling Company's booth, ready and eager to serve him a pancake, and as he advances through the maze of booths a whole world of sandwiches and sausages and cookies and cakes and cider is opened up to him.

"PROMS' FACE CHARGE Alleged Corrupt Practices Violations to Bo Put Up to Grand Jury. District Attorney Evans will call the attention of the grand jury today to alleged violation of the corrupt prac tices act in the publication of a cam paign circular in which charges are made against County Clerk Coffey. Failure to serve Mr. Coffey with a copy of the circular 15 days before its pub lication is said to constitute a violation of the law. Mr. Coffey received formal notice yesterday after the . circular was al ready in circulation, it is stated. Mr. Evans was told of it and pronounced the act a direct violation of the law. County Clerk Coffey is charged in the circular with having taken illegal steps in having ballots printed both for the coming election and the last primary election. The circular is signed by the "Out to Win Prohibition Party." District Attorney Evtns says all who Issue political propaganda should con sult the law before they commence operations, as there are always a num ber of illegal apts that run counter to the corrupt pl-actices statute before every election. He promises to put a stop to them wherever they are brought to his attention. BROWN ROT TO BE FOUGHT Kight on Prune Crop 3fenace Aided by State and Federal Forces. VANCOUVER, Wash., Oct. 27.

They will be just to their children and fair to all Oregon by voting to revive, not only one, but both of the state's Normal Schools, unwisely abandoned by the Senate in 1909. An enlightened self-interest demands that Oregon maintain three Normal Schools. California has eight and Washington three, and have never questioned their value. Should Oregon content herself with one only, when more than 1000 teachers are needed annually in its public schools ? Remember that the Eastern Oregon Normal will cost the taxpayer but 2y2 cents on each $1000 of his taxable property, and when restored will be taken out of politics. NORMAL. SCHOOLS ON NEW BASIS Some of Most Important Differences Outlined by Supporter (Henry T. Sheldon in Morning Oregonian.) PORTLAND, Or.. Oct. 22. (To the Editor.) The attention of the voters of the state should be called to the fact that the normal schools, if re-established, will be on an en tirely new basis of efficiency as compared with the old schools of 10 years ago. Some of the most important differences are the following: First, the1 new schools will be under the entire control of the General State Normal School Board. Consequently, there will be no possible lowering of standards to attract large numbers of students who have no in tention of teaching for the purpose of boost ing business in the particular towns where the normal schools are located. The pres ent State Board has made a distinct success in Its administration of the existing Normal School at Monmouth, which has attained a standard of effectiveness comparing favor ably with normal schools in other states. There is no reason to believe that its policy would be any less effective if normal schools were established in Southern and Eastern Oregon. Another point of importance is the millage tax, voted by the people themselves, which takes the entire question out of the legisla tive arena. The new normal schools will have no occasion to appeal to the Legislature for financial support, and, therefore, can In no possible way interfere with general legis lation. A third factor to be considered is the change of attitude in regard to general high school education. The old normal schools provided this for their localities. At Mon mouth the high school education is now pro vided for in a separate institution supported by the Monmouth district, and is In no way a charge on the taxpayers of the state. Ash land possesses one of the strongest high schools in the state, and Is in an admirable position to train the future teachers along general lines, thus relegating to the normal school only the purely professional work. Undoubtedly a similar provision is in view at 'Weston. This insures that the state money be spent wholly for the professional training of teachers. The value of dividing the state support between three schools may be questioned by some. There are, in the main, two reasons favoring such a division. First, throughout the United States, experience has shown that the students of a normal school are very largely recruited from the immediate region where the school is located. Ordinarily, normal school students do not go more than 100 miles away from home to secure pro fessional training. In Michigan, where sev eral years ago a number of new normal schools were added to the system, these schools secured a large constituency in their respective districts without In any way cut ting off the support of the large central school in Tpsilantl. A powerful factor In securing efficiency in the training of teachers is the presence of large opportunities in the way of practice facilities for teachers. While the work In methods, and professional subjects like psychology, school hygiene and child study is valuable, after all the average teacher learns most through imitation and sugges tion as well as practice. Every normal school needs, therefore, not only some model classes in its neighborhood, but a consid erable number of other ciosses where the young teachers may do apprenticeship work. A town of ordinary size can only offer a certain number of such openings. As a con sequence, when huge normal schools have been located in small towns, as has been the case in several states of the Middle West, the practice facilities have been alto gether inadequate and the teachers have been only partially trained. It is, therefore, advisable in Oregon that we have a num ber of normal schools which will attract the teachers of the three main geographical di visions of the state and which can at the same time give the necessary opportunities for efficient work.
