TRAINED TEACHERS NEEDED
'.Arguments Made In Favor of Meas-
- ure Based I'pon Froper In
struction of Children.
- A proposal to establish two more
tormil schools in Oregon, one in th
eastern part of the state and the othei
fn the western, will be on the Novem
ler S election ballot. Representatives
of The Dalles, Pendleton, Baker and
La Grande met in La Grande Friday In
the interests of a normal school for
Eastern Oregon. After the meeting
the following statement, signed by
J. J. Carr. representing Union County
J. H. Gwlnn, Umatilla County; Walter
Z.. Meacham. Baker County, and J. 1
Rorick. Wasco County, was Issued:
- "A survey of the school situation
discloses that no Institution of higher
learning or for the training of teach
era exists in the great territory east o
the mountains. Kegardless of where
the normal school will be built, all the
people interested, have made it plain
that sectionalism does not govern the
question as to whether a normal school
hould be established in Eastern Ore
gon.
- Welfare ef I'ae Skoald Ceatrek
- The future welfare of the boys and
girls of this great section should be
the controlling force that should gov
ern the voters in making their choice.
To a man with a family living In East
rn Oregon it Is an individual question
Shall my children have properly trained
teachers when they start out to get
their education to use during the bal
ance of their lives? Will my children
get started right so that as they
progress in the grade schools they will
not have to take two years to pass one
grade? These are vital questions, and
only the parent whose child has failed
In some course in school can realise
the difference between having a trained
and an untrained teacher when the
child starts out.
7 "Statistics show that In Oregon It
costs the state at least $400,000 yearly
to reteach the children who have failed
because of incompetent teachers. The
monetary consideration, however, is
only incidental. The great considera
tion Is that when a child has failed
and the next year is compelled to take
the course over again, you have there
by taken from that child's life one
full year, which neither you nor any
one else can give back to him.
Varaarlea Maat Be Filled.
' We have over COO0 teachers in this
state Those who leave the teaching
profession leave vacancies which must
be filled. These vacancies run about
10i)0 yearly. The one normal school
In this state will furnish from 150 to
250 trained teachers a year. The bal
ance of the vacancies must be filled
either from other states or with un
trained teachers. The fact is that 99
per cent of these vacancies are filled
with untrained teachers. Can we af
ford to allow this last year by our
boys and girls who have failed to be
charged up against us for not trying
to cut down this 90 per cent? The
establishment of two more normal
schools In the state of Oregon is
Dig step toward supplying this deficiency.
"Eastern Oregon Is particularly cut
suit of any advantages of a normal
school. At the present normal school
at Monmouth there are only 24 stu
dents from the 1 counties of Eastern
Oregon. This number of students at
our Monmouth Normal is only about 1
per cent of the requirement to keep
the teaching force of this part of the
Inland t.mplre up to standard. In com
paring Kastern Oregon with the Wil
lamette Valley we find that all the
state institutions of learning are situ
ated in that valley. In addition to this,
the Willamette Valley has numerous
Institutions of learning established by
religious denominations and private
endowment. These institutions of
learning serve as centers of education
and culture for those localities, while
In all of Eastern Oregon, as well as
Southern Oregon, there is not one such
Institution.

ment, and we earnestly appeal to them

because it vitally affects the develop
ment of this part of the state, which is

Furthermore, Inasmuch as the legisla

Korsaal Schools Basle Step.
"Our children will be our future citi
zens. Lpon them will fall some of the
reconstructive work after the war. Our
National Government Indorses prepara
tion for such reconstruction work. The
protection of our children demands
proper educational facilities. The prepa
ration of proper educational facilities
for our work after the war is neces
sary. A vote for the normal schools, as
placed upon the ballot, is one of the
basic steps of this work. The board of
regents of normal schools have said
that they will not construct these
normal schools until after the war. The
construction, therefore, will not Inter
fere with war work, but will lit in
properly with the reconstruction work
which will then be necessary."

Superintendent Churchill Replies to
Query of local Authorities as
to Closing Power.
SALEM. Or.. Oct. 26. (Special.) Or-
ers closing schools and public gath
erings originated with the office of the

telegram sent by Superintendent
Churchill to the Bend school district
officers today. The authority of the
Health Board and local officers to take
action closing the schools was ques-
oned in a telegram sent to Mr.
Churchill from Bend.
It has generally been considered
ere and it is understood that Attor
ney-General Brown has informally held
that the health authorities, within
themselves, held no power from the
state or by virtue of the state statutes
to order a closing of schools and pub
lic gatherings.
But complete authority seems to rest
ith them, says Mr. Churchill, by virtue
the orders issued through the Sur
geon-General's office" to close up any
ace where danger might arise which
would lead to the spreading of the in
fluenza epidemic
Inoculation of prisoners at the Peni
tentiary for influenza was started to-

shows no decline, new cases being re'
ported today, and the hope of openin
hools here again next week has been
dashed.

The non-war building section of th

from Washington. D. C. permission fo
the rearrangement of the ground-floor
rooms of the Northwestern National
Bank building to proceed. More thas
two weeks ago the work under way

permit. The work was started before
the section of the board had Issued
orders requiring permits for ail work
to be done.
Architect Albert O. Doyle, In charge
of the work, applied for the necessary
permit- which through a mlsunder

partly completed, was denied. Upon
information that the permit was not

The Portland Chamber of Commerce
yesterday advised the United States
Chamber of Commerce that members of
the Oregon delegation in Congress have

of this year.
This has been done at the Instance
of retailers "because their stocks of
goods for holiday trade were pur
chased almost a year ago. They feel

TO MOTHERS! Each ten cent box of Cascarets, candy cathartk
contains full directions for dose for children aged one year old and up
wards. Nothing else "works" the nasty bile, sour fermentations and
constipation poison from the tender little bowels so gently, yet so
thoroughly. Even cross, feverish, bilious children gladly take Cascarets
without being coaxed. , Cascarets taste just like candy. Cascarets never
gripe the little bowels, never sicken, never injure, but above all, they
never disappoint the worried mother.

The recent action of the Relief So
ciety an organization of women and
the oldest of the auxiliaries within the
Mormon Church, in turning over to the
jsational Food Administration its accu
mulated wheat, has been featured by
the press and has formed the inspiring
theme of orators on the public ros
trum and in Congressional halls.
The Relief Society was established
under the personal direction of the
Prophet Joseph Smith in 1842, and
stands as one of the early, if not in fact
the first, distinctive organizations of
women in America. The purpose of Its
existence is the alleviation of distress,
and from its Inception the members
have been as ministering angels in the
homes of poverty, sickness, or death.
Its current activities are mostly turned
to Red Cross work and food conserva
tion.
As soon as prosperity began to smile
upon the Mormon fields in the Great
American Desert these bigrhearted
women, responsive to the counsel of
their prophet-leader, Brigham Toung,
undertook to lay aside a little wheat
at every harvest. The individual con
tributions ranged from half a peck to
a few bushels. This store was drawn
upon to meet the calls of the hungry
but, as the conquest of the desert be
came each year more pronounced, as
the arid soil was made to yield more
abundantly, the women's yearly gifts
of grain increased, and from season to
season the surplus accumulated.
The following excerpts are taken
from an able address by Hon. Milton
H. Welling in the House of Represen
tatives, June 7, 1918. .
"Brigham Young fostered and en
couraged as one of the auxiliary or
ganizations of the church the Woman's
Relief Society. With the main purpose
of that great organization its charit
able and educational work I am not
now concerned. These women were ad
vised as one of their minor activities
to store wheat, and it is of this rather
unusual activity 1 wish to speak.
"In the early days of Utah's history
and in the humble beginning of the
Relief Society, these women gleaned
the harvest fields in order that no
precious head of grain should be lost.
Wheat was so precious to the pioneers
that it was used as a medium of ex
change. It was the standard of value
by which other commodities were meas
ured. They had little or no other cur
rency. My own mother has related to
me more than once her association with
and cheerful participation in this work
of gleaning the precious yellow grain.
"Later on by purchase and donation
these women added more rapidly to
their store of wheat. As the stock grew
it was moved from the small wooden
granaries belonging to the local Relief
Society organizations to great steel and
cement elevators constructed for that
purpose and controlled by the women
themselves. From the beginning these
women were taught that the time would
come when every available pound oi
wheat would be needed to conserve the
Nation's life and prevent famine and I
starvation. It has remained a strongly
intrenched tradition with the women of
this organization, and they believe it to
be true today.
"This Spring, in April, there were In
the elevators belonging to the Mormon
women of Utah and other adjacent
Western States 205,518 bushels of first
class milling wheat. Last month these
devoted women felt that the time had
come for them to use their precious
savings of more than 60 years. Through
the presidency of the Mormon Church
every pound of this wheat was tendered
to and accepted by the United States
Food Administration for the use of the
starving women and children among
our allies, and for the use of our sol
diers and sailors in the Army and Navy
of the United States.
"Mr. Chairman, 1 had not thought of
mentioning this incident until yester
day, when I received a letter from Mr.
Herbert Hoover expressing the appre
ciation of this administration for the
assistance rendered.1
Mr. Hoover's letter follows:
