The main feature of the day aa a
gathering In the iwrmbly hall, where
'I'itfuti were Riven by many leading
educators of the state and men who
were active In the fight for the Mon
month school. The assembly ball was
well filled. It being estimated there

Myor J. H Hawley, of Monmouth, de
livered the ad'IreM of wl-.tne. being In
tro.! i:-eI by J. B. V. Butler, who acted
a rhslrmm of the day. The Mayor

strate that the Institution was worthy of
a continuous l.aM of Iffe.
"Th:s arhool a ill be one of the live
wire of tin- state." he declared. "A far
as the voire nf the jep!e t concerned
we are the ore normal school and tho
central nnrn-.al rchool of Oregon. One
of the fundamental principles that gained
Tb-'ory In the recent campaign proved to
be the mnt of the historic evhool and
the fact that the people of Oregon realised
this makes It doubly a vU-tory. Thia la
not a Urge town, nor la It a wealthy one.
but the spirit la In our people to better
conditions at the vliool and to keep tacs
wttli the progress uf the atato to the beat
of our ability.
"In the reopening of the school we will
her Increased opportunities, but we will
also hare Increaerd obligations and we
must p azi to meet these obligations and
e that they are paid."
Superintendent of Publlo Instruction J.
H. Arkcrman. In mentioning the vote
' pawed for the normal, waa gfven a tre
mendous ovation when he epoke of Mult
nomah's plurality of i: for this bill.
"I believe I can bring the assurance of
the 'board of regents." he sold, "that the
board will concentrate every effort to
make thta normal school second to none
In the United States. I believe the board
pursued m am policy In closing all of
the normalr. for it proved a bar to the
people and an object lesaon that awak
ened them to the neceaststy for an Insti
tution where higher normal training may
be secured."
Standardization. Plan Is Told.
The superintendent outlined a plan for
standardisation of normala which will re
quire a four-year high school oourae be
fore admission la allowed to the normal
arhool and providing a normal arhaol sdii
ratlon. wnlch will admit the teacher to
serve In any state In the Union, without
further examination.
"The Monmouth Normal will be a great
fsotor in bringing this about la Ore
s' ."n," he declared.
Fl r. Rentier, for several yeara presi
dent at Monmouth, waa given an ovation
that lasted several minute. lie dwelt
at exme 'env'.h on the local spirit, pride
and enthusiasm that had marked Mon
mouth, lie said:
""We will furnish and have furnlehed
a farul'.y and stuilent body here that ha
no superior in the Cast or west. Ore
, (on boys and girls, when they attend
enma of the larger Eastern colleges, al
ways more than hold their own and this
la largely due to the splendid training
they received In tbe schools of their own
ata'.e."
O. N. McArthur advocated the establish
ment of three normal schools In the
atate.
"The pawage of the Monmouth hill
meant that Oregon baa adopted a normal
svhool pohey.- he said. "But It does not
mean the stale will have only cne normal.
It means '.he people are alive -to the
necessity of the schools. Oregon Is a state
of such vast area. It la folly to believe
she will have but one normal In years
to come. Monmouth Is the mother of
normals but tbe time will rome. when
we will have seich Institution! In Eastern
and Southern Oregon as well. I believe
in a broad state policy and It must come
with the establishments of these schools."
' President Campbell Applauded.
President P. I Campbell, of the Uni
versity of Oregon, son of the ea-presl-'
dent at Monmouth, and himself also an
ex-presldent. was one of the strongest
apeakera of the afternoon and was also
accorded a ronnd of applause. He said:
"People understand tbe training; of
teachers for the teaching of their chil
dren is a problem of serious moment.
They have testified to this knowledge
by returning us this Institution. The
pioneers believed strong, hoped large
and always fought fair. They Instilled
Into the university the spiritual factors
which hare made It a success- Friends
-of this school have been compelled to
fight against adversities from tbe first.
Kvery appropriation has meant a bat
tle. "I would like to see three or four
normals In this state, and when the
demand cornea, would like to see one
strong alx-year high-school In every
county In the state and In connection
with these normala. training prepara
tory to the higher training of the
alate normal. If one teacher requires
a certain amount of special work, they
all do. Tbe time la coming when there
will be no teachers In Oregon but have
at laat one or two yeara of the beat
type of professional training."
C L Ctarr, ex-secretary of the board
of normal regents, created a sensation
when he applied the term of "the
grandest old educator In the State of
Oregon" to Mayor Hawley.
Among the other speakers were K. EX

ENGINEERING COST LOW
Investigating .Committee Reports
Recommending That Present Sys
tem of Road Building- Be
Continued In State.
OLTMPIA. Wash.. Nov. . (Special.)
H. I Bowlby. state highway com
mlssloner. has made a most satisfactory
showing Ir. the 14 months he has been
st the besd of the Washington high
way department, according to the re
port made to Governor Hay by the
committee appointed to investigate his
office.
This committee, composed of If. P.
Gillette, of New Tork. who conducted
the Investigations to determine the
value of railroad property In Wesh-
Insrtnn under the direction of the
Washington Railroad Commlsalon: J. J
I'onovan of Belllngham. former super
intendent of the Belllngham Bay
British Columbia Railroad, who had
charge of the construction of several
branch llnea out of that city, and ft.
Beard, Vancouver, who has served as
city engineer In aome of the Northwest
cities, found that roads In Washington
were belna: built for about $5000 a
mile and that Mr. Bowlby la spending
about S.e per cent for superintendence
and engineering. The committee
states thst in many Instances 15 per
cent would not be unreasonable, and
they found that under J. M- Snow.
former commissioner, the highway cost
only about 9.1 per cent.
Township Plan Ideal.
This report, which has been submit
ted to Governor Hay, Is to be made
public at the Walla Walla convention
of the State Good Roads Association on
November 2V-30 and December 1. Then
also It will be shown that under town
ship organisation In Spokane County
and townships are considered the Ideal
unit for road building purposes that
the engineering runs from 15 to 20
per cent of the total cost or tbe road.
The report takes up the staie-aiu
road law and, while suggesting some
changes, states emphatically that It
would be folly to desert the system as
It Is the best thst has been devised as
yet. The committee thinks the plan
of forcing counties to use their share
Inside of two yeara or have It revert
to the general fund Is wrong, and
wants the law changed so that a coun
ty can let Ita money accumulate until It
haa sufficient to put through a big
project.
Thle would do away 'with much of
the objection to the law on the part
of those who say It Is too expensive.
It would remove the necessity cf
forclrur the department to build strips
of road for less than a mile In length.
and it Is on theae that the cost of the
roads for engineering runs highest, for
once a crew is in the field It does not
cost aa much to have them run an
additional mile or two aa it do. a to
move them for another aurvey.
Specific Legislation Disliked.
The report recommends, that the
Legislature should not make appropria
tions for specified state roada; that
unexpended moneys appropriated 'for
state roads should not revert to the
general fund; that a separate appro
priation for the administration of the
highway department ia not advisable;
that the salary of the highway com
missioner be raised from $2500 to $4000
year; that the state rock crushing
plants be placed under control of the
state highway department, and work
not hampered by specific approprla-
lona: that convict labor be used on
roada whenever possible, and that a
bonus system be established, the con- 1
vlcts to be paid money, to go either
to themselves or their families, for
doing more than a specified amount of
work a day: that the highway com
missioner make a detailed monthly re
port to the Governor and also an an
nual report.
In reply to the charge that "kid" en-
gtneera are being employed, the com
mittee reports that the office and field
orce Is highly efficient and that young
men, under competent direction, are to
be preferred to men who have grown
gray In the service, but who have not
displayed ability or ambition to secure
promotion.
, State-Aid Plan Favored,
n the opinion of the committee, the
State should follow the state aid plan
of building highways, as It has proven
a big success In other states and will
also prova a success here, the report
citing the fights made in other states
agalnat ita adoption. Also, If the state
adopts a plan, contractors will be en
abled to Invest money for the neces
sary equipment for building good roads,
something they will not do at present
and. consequently, sll bids are de
cidedly high.
The report says in part:
"While we have not attempted to
visit the various roads built under Mr.
Bowlby. we have examined' plans, spe
cifications, etc- and have, a outlined,
analysed the coata in a general way.
As a result of this study, we are of
the opinion that Mr. Bowlby has man
aged hla department with efficiency,
and that he haa organised a competent
corps of engineering assistants.
"We believe that the atate would
make a serious mlstske were it to
abandon Its policy of building state aid
highways under the direction of a state
highway commissioner.'
ORDER FOR BARLEY GIVEN

Breaking a quiet of four weeks, orders

Money Needed for Charitable, Edu
catlonal. Penal and I!c
fonn Institutions.
OLYMPIA. Wash., Nov. 26. (Special.)
Among the recommendations to be
made to the Legislature by the Mtate
Board of Control, through its report
to Governor Hay, will be one that is
decidedly radical, coming- at this time,
Insomuch as It calls for the disposing
of all the Government granted lands
for charitable, educational, penal and
reform institutions, so as to obtain
money to bring the state institutions
up to a high standard without adding
any additional burden to the taxpay
ers. .
The Board of Control wants consider
ablo money for the state institutions,
but they propose tn get it by issuing
$2,000,000 worth of 20-year 3Va per cent
bonds against the 72,9.12.89 acres of
land in this grant, which ia aa yet
unincumbered. The Board says that
the institutions, through an oversight
of the Legislature, have neglected to
assist In. cutting down the cost of
maintenance by raising farm products
Much Land Disposed Of.
originally mere were i'00,000 acres in
the Government grant, of which 100,
000 acres wero given outright to the
University of Washington. Of tho re
mainder, 99,97ft 87 acres have been ap
plied for and accepted. Of this latter
amount 14 1.94 acres have been deeded
outright -to individuals and 26,594.04
acres are under contract, making a
total of 27,045.98 acres disposed of
and leaving 72.9S2.S9 acres.
The report of the titate Treasurer
shows that on September 30, 1910, the
lands sold outright and sold under
contract had brought In 1226,499.34.
This money Is In a permanent fund and
cannot be reduced. In addition to this
there was due 1262.690.45 on land con
tracts, making a total of $499,190.79.
The Board suggests that when the
bonds are decided upon that the
TENDER FACED MEN

A Proper Soap for Shaving
Does All This and More.
Tender-faced men who have hereto
fore been forced, after shaving, to
waste valuable minutes every morning
soothing their Irritated faces with ex
pensive lotions or pore-clogging pow
ders will welcome the comfort and
saving of time which the use of Cutl
cura soap for shaving effects. Not only
does Cuticura soap supply a rich,
creamy, fragrant lather that in itself
makes shaving a iuxury."but the deli
cate modlcatlon ana remarkable sooth

world-famous as a skin aoap, are usu
ally sufficient to leave the face free
from that tense, dry feeling, and to act
as a preventive of Irritation and in
flammation of tbe hair Klands often

eruptions.
Another use In which men find
Cuticura soap eminently satisfactory Is
in the care of the hair and acalp. The
ease with which a shampoo with Cuti
cura soap Is obtained and the comfort
and benefit derived, make it one of the
most desirable and refreshing of toilet
duties. Assisted by an occasional light
dressing with Cuticura ointment. It at
the same time provides a most effect

dry, thin and falling hair, dandruff
