Pendleton's enthusiasm for the es tablishment of a state normal school in that city was caught yesterday -by fiovernor 'Withycombe. President Oampbell, of the University of Oregron; State Superintendent J. A. Churchill. Superintendent L. K. Alderman and other educators of note, and by all the clubwomen who attended the Oregon State Federation's luncheon held in the main' dini.ig-roora of the Hotel Port land. By resolution at the state convention held in Seaside recently the federation, representing .several thousand club women, indorsed the project to place a normal school at Pendleton. The rous ing, meeting and ardent addresses of yesterday but served to make known to the community that the clubwomen were in sincere sympathy with the plan which they declared so vitally affects the educational interests of the state in general and of the children and teachers of the rural districts in par I ticular. Governor Favors Pendleton. ""We do need another normal school, ' and there is no place more appropriate for its establishment than Pendleton," said Governor Withycombe. He pointed out that the tax for this school would be small and that the ultimate result would be a financial saving to the tate through greater efficiency for teachers and better opportunities for the school children. President Campbell said that he felt sure, if the people of Oregon were fully informed on the subject, they ' would- vote, for the school. He urged an energetic campaign. The fact that a large percentage of the rural teach ers have never gone beyond the eighth grade was quoted by President Camp bell as a strong argument in favor, of better advantages for them and a sav ing in salaries that are now in many cases waste. State Superintendent Churchill said that the school should be in Pendjeton because the distance to Monmouth keeps Eastern Oregon students away, and that Pendleton offers ideal oppor tunity for practice teaching, as there are more than 100O children In the Krade schools. Several of the speakers said that ultimately there should be a school in Southern Oregon also, but at present they advised . concentrating on Pendleton. Pendleton Man Cites Figures. The spirit of Pendleton was exem plified in the person of J. H. Gwlnn, secretary of the club of business men who form the Pendleton Normal School committee. He said:- "Compare Ore gon and '-her neighbor, Idaho. The former spends but $1 in comparison with the latter's $4 in teaching teach ers. It will cost but 4 cents per $1000 for the tax. Can you afford that for vour children and your children's chil dren?" Mrs. Frederick Eggert appealed to the clubwomen to work for the state normal, giving reasons she had gath ered in handling the scholarship loan fund of the State Federation of Wom en's Clubs. Mrs. Sarah A. Evans, of the National Hoard of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, presided at the lunch con and Eugene Brookings took charge .of the educational conference that pened the programme. A serenade by the Nebraska band, assembled on the veranda of the hotel, was followed by cheers and applause. Charles Berg addressed the meeting on the need of establishing play grounds in South Portland, "where the population is prolific and the birth rate terrific and where the people have brains of geniuses and no chance to sret health and happiness' unless the rest of the city gives them a square deal." Mr. Berg urged the purchase' of Mar rtuam Gulch as a good, sound business Investment for the city. Greater Advantages ITrged. Professor John Staub, of the Uni versity of Oregon, and Superintendent Alderman had about two minutes in which to speak," but made tnose min utes tell in hearty indorsement of th. normal school and greater advantages for the children and teachers. Mrs. Evans then took charge of the discussion by the clubwomen on the various resolution presented at the re rent Rtate convention. Mrs. Chester Hopkins read the resolutions. That pertaining to free textbooks was dis cussed extensively. One member "sug gested that the clubwomen find out why school books cost so much.- Many children like to own their own books, and if the state can furnish them at a lower rate, they asked, why can't the price be reduced for all? It was also suggested that books be chosen with out political influence. The clubwomen volunteered to send books and magazines to women in the isolated districts. This was done at the suggestion of the Forestry Association. sa!rs r"' ' " ' ""-5 i .
