Work of Pendleton Academy to Be Centered on Academic and Prepar atory Departments—W. H. Bleak- ney Retained as Principal—Bess Craig. Theressa Porter and Flora Walker Employed as Teachers— Academy Expended $2.904 in Pen dleton in the Past Year—Prospects Highly Encouraging. The trustees ot Pendleton Academy met at Hote. Rickers last night and outlined ’.he policy of the academy for the ensuing year, employed four teachers, elected officers to hold un til the annual meeting in October, and transacted all the current business incident upon the close of the school year. Six members of the board were present at the meeting as follows: Lot Livermore, president: Dr W. S. Holt, of Portland: Frederick Noli. treasurer; Rev. W H. Bleakney. Rev. W L. Van Nuys and Bert Huffman. Frederick Xolf was elected treas- urere and Rev. W. L. Van Nuys sec- re'ary to hold office until the regular election at the October meeting. Rev. W. H. Bleakney and Bert Huff man were elected as an executive board. The most important business trans acted at the meeting was the entire change of plan ot the departments of the institution, whereby everything below the seventh grade was abolish ed. the academy hereafter to admit no scholars below the seventh and the entire force and strength of the institution to be centered in prepara tory work in the seventh and eighth grades and in the academic course. The plan does away with three teachers in the primary and interme diate grades, which have been main tained at a partial loss, and concen trates the effoit« of the academy on higher school work, that is particular ly demanded in this section of Ore gon. Rev. W. H. Bleakney was unani mously elected principal for the en suing year. Miss Thressa Porter was elected to the preparatory depart ment, Miss Bess Craig to the depart ment of modern languages and Miss Flora .Walker to the nosition of as- sistant teacher, One teacher is yet to be employed. The report of the principal for the past year was filed, showing that the academy had expended in running ex penses for the past year the sum of »2,904. all of which has been spent in Pendleton. The total enrollment for the year was 109. 37 in the academy and 72 in the grades Reports were received from the Presbytery of Eastern Oregon, show ing a renewed and more vigorous moral support on the part of that body and also from the churches of Eastern Oregon, for the academy, and the coining year promises to be one of especial importance in the history of the institution if the city of Pen dleton, the churches and Presbytery of Eastern Oregon and the general educational boards of the church take the interest in the welfare of a new institution that should be taken. The plan to drop the lower grades will especially appeal to the demand for academic work in Eastern Oregon. It will offer to students desiring higher school work an especial op portunity in Pendleton. The rate of tuition was fixed at »40 per term, with special inducements where two or more come from one family, and partial arrangements were begun, looking to a limited dormitory for the academy if demanded. The property of the academy, in cluding the grounds, building, furni ture, paraphernalia, and school ap- ¡«aratus. amounts to over »16.000, with about »300 indebtedness, and it is in a position to become the leading pri vate school in Eastern Oregon, if the proper encouragement and support is given it by those directly interested in its welfare. Rev. Bleakney will take a month's vacation from his duties, and will then begin the work of canvassing Eastern Oregon and Washington for students for the coming year. NEWS OF MILTON.

STATE GRANGE CRITICISES OREGON FARM IN ENTHUSIASTIC BE BOYS Says the Excellent Equipment at the Agricultural College should Induce More of Them to Study Practical Farming—Work of the College is Well Done and More Farmers Should Be Turned Out. Corvallis, May 30.—The Oregon State Grange closed its session Satur day night, after a most successful meeting. One of the last things done by the session was the adoption of a report from the committee on agricultural schools, which is as follows: "We. your committee on Agricul tural college, find that 530 students have been enrolled during the current year, with an average daily attend ance during the month of 400. Among the seven courses of instruction pre sented by the college we find the stu dents distributed as follows: "Agriculture, 59; household sci ence, 60; engineering. 100; mining engineering. 24; pharmacy, 47; liter ary commerce, 66. “Of these students, about 140 come from Corvallis. Alpha Hall shelter,, about 25 girls, and an average of 80 boys have boardetl during the year at Cautborne Hall "There are 83 instructors in the In stitution. Of these 13 have in charge the work of the experiment station, besides some class room study. “When we consider the excellent equipment and management of the Oregon Agricultural college, and note the small number of our active far- m«-rs who have taken the agricultural course, or even its very helpful far mers' short course, we must report the progress of the Agricultural col lege still exceedingly slow. “So far as we can judge, the work in the various departments is very well done. We hnd nothing to criti cise in the quality of the work, nor in the manner of doing it. "Your committee considers the ttys- tent of farmers' institutes as of the utmost Importance to the agricultural Interests of the state, and we should like to see the work enlarged by In creasing funds." LIEVER IN LABOR'S DIGNITY French Organized the First Manual Training Course in Public Schools —Made Special Preparation for Manual Training at Weston—Earn ed the Money Which Paid for His Own Education on the Farm and in a Factory. The East Oregonian is tn re'eipt of the following communication from President R. C. French, of the Wes ton Xorma) school, in which he clear ly and frankly defines his position on the subject of the dignity of labor, which was the teat for an editorial in this paper last Friday, and which took issue with the reported stand of Prof. French on the subject The East Oregonian cheerfully pub lishes the communication in order to make clear the sentiment of Prof. French. His letter is as follows: Weston.
