(Spe cial.) Why the Oregon Normal School exists and is located in Monmouth, is due. many believe, to the clever work of Monmouth and Polk County men in the dawning years of the "80s. These men first surveyed the equipment here and then persuaded the state of Oregon to accept a fine campus .and buildings as a lft and use them In starting a normal school. But the quest for the reason wny goes farther back than that. Had not the plans of the piunecr group of seven material ized, bad not the devoted men. bent on the establishment of an educational Institution, donated land for the cam pus, had not they given money to start the wheel moving, on what basis could the promoters have laid claims for a ctate normal school? The story is simple: The pioneers first chose a central location in the val ley. Then they sc to work to found an institution of learning to meet the timely needs of the early people. They fixed the campus, erected the buildings and planted the trees. School was be gun. The pioneers accomplished their purpose. rdiK-atlonally. It mas left to Coi. eluded ua ft'sse 3.) 1
