Develop the Northwest The meeting of the Northwest Deveopment Congress in Seattle -last Week-has been perhaps tne most strikincr example ever given of the growth of community in terest and co-operation m cie--vlnnment work. In Portland we are inclined to assume the credit for being the first com munity to abandon the notion . that a city's interests lie within certain prescribed limits and that its growth and prosperity are best aided by self-boosting to the exclusion of every other community. Portland first in vited the coroperation of other Oregon cities in the work of de veloping Oregon. The spirit ; then spread into Washington and " Idaho. The commercial inter ' ests of the towns and cities in the three states came into friend ' ly touch and the. idea grew and flourished as the country ' prospered. Now we have the Governors of seven states and a -''special trainload of business men from St Paul, Minneapolis and ' from the towns. ,of Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota joining with us. i;i an effort to build up trie territory that com prises .more than oqe-sixth the arSa-bf fye United States. . This 'great territory lies, be : '"'tween the twin cities of.Minnea- sota on the East and the Pacific Coast cities on the West. In ' ! that area are millions of acres of '' undeveloped lands. Settlement on and cultivation of these lands to . the extent that the lands of "'" 'Minneasota and some parts of 'Oregon are now settled, and cul tivated, would bring greater wealth and increased prosperity -'not "only td the growing, cities ' that are well vihin this North west area, but to those on the ex- treme edges. The peopling of - the vacant lands of Montana and - the Dakotas, far away as they " -se'em to" us, will create new and "active' markets for our lumber, our fish' and our fruit. Rivalry for trade supremacy in numerous lines among cities now working together will doubtless also come to pass. But what of that? A half loaf is better than none and almost every distributive point "has 'some specialty of' its own forwhich it; desires a wider field of trade. There is a problem to solve in the matter of American migra tion' fotKe farm, lands of Canada. "'Tfie Northwest and Alaska offer the solution, Land laws must be made more liberal. . Ad vantages Triusit be exploited, In dividual enterprise cannot do alb that Is to be done. A concerted effort Ms required .Concerted effof't'is Oncouraged, by a "friend ly spirit.

It is noted in a publication just issued for free distribution by the United States Bureau of TP,i,,...if ;mi flinf instruction in efficiency methods on the farm is now given in this country through 11 main agencies. These agencies include elemen tary and secondary schools and agricultural high schools; county schools of agriculture; traveling schools teaching along the same lines farmers' educational trains; farmers' institutes; agricultural clubs and similar organizations; grades for city schools; normal schools of a'ricultural and colleges of agriculture. In fact there is such a variety of information and instruction on tap that the farmer of today could not ' successfully dodge it lJiUUllllwn wiw all if he would; and would not if he could. The old contempt for the "book l'arned" farmer has completely disappeared and sci entific agriculture has taken its place to stay. Farmers no longer plant and trust to luck for their crops. On the contrary, they are working all the time to promote their growth, to fight off disease and pests and to increase the yield by every means in their power. And in this work these various agencies of instruction and as sistance are of the greatest value It is interesting to note that the first chair in agricultural edu cation, as such in this country, was founded by the Massachu setts Agricultural college in 1907. That was but five years ago, but so rapid has the idea spread that now about two-thirds of the agricultural and mechanical col leges in the United States are offering some opportunity for special preparation for teaching agriculture. Farming has be come a science and a profession. It is being taught in the public schools as well as the agricultural colleges. Pupils are being trained in its principles and in its opera tion. . Furthermore, the nation-wide movement for the instruction of young girls in the household arts as parallel courses to those in agriculture which are taught their brothers is even more of an innovation than the teaching of agricuture itseif to the children. Indeed, the two causes are re garded as so intimately related that in many colleges they are in a sense combined, the girls grad uating from the domestic science course and the boys who grad uate from the agricultural coruse receiving the same degree, and practically every elementary or high school in the country which offers agriculture to its pupils, also includes domestic science in its course. --Canandaigua Jour nal.

This year our annual meet ing occurs June 17. On this day one director and the clerk arc to be elected in every school dis trict in Oregon, and a matter nf much importance to each com mnnitv. I should bo very glad, indeed, to find that many of tne Oregon school districts were making the day of the annual school meeting an important oc casion, and at the same time tak ing advantage of being together " O m . 7 to talk over the problems of the sohnnls. The voting for director and clerk will take place at the school house. It should be remembered that women already have the privilege of suffrage in school elections. If all the women ot the community will pack their lunch baskest. and assemble at the school house on the morning of June 17, I am confident that the men will be there also when the sun reaches the meridian Of course, the members of the family under voting age will have to have dinner. So all will spread out their lunches under some pleasat shadq, and enjoy dinner together. After a good dinner all will be in the right frame of mind for selecting the officers, and discus sing school affairs. The patrons will have this opportunity to in vestigate the conditions of the school house and grounds, andsee what repairs are needed ; whether the school house is properly heated, lighted and ventilated, and what books and picures are most needed. Let us make June 17 a red 'letter day for our dis trict! Yours for better schools, L. R. Alderman. Sup't. Public Instruction. Do You want to Make Money?
