SCHOOL SPIRIT
fROFESSOU GOLDEN WRITES OF
A MATTER OF IMPORTANT
PUBLIC INTEREST
Editor Times:
A thoroughly good high school ad
equately equipped with all the mod
ern appurtenances, Is an essential
feature to a well balanced and pro
perly rounded out educational sys
tem. It Is possible to build up a
Teal high school, imbued with tho
high school spirit, so long as tho
pupils are surrounded by and under
i the influence of the rules and spirit
that should characterize the lower
-grades. But there Is still another
Wnd of "high school spirit" besides
that found Immediately In tho school
Itself, and that Is the spirit of tho
community, toward tho high school
There should bo a strong enthusia
stic spirit of encouragement amon;
the public for everything educational
undertaken by the high school. A
community is most always judged by
the degree of this spirit. For in
'Btance, mere is in existence now a
Stato High School Debating League.
This was founded by tho advice of
the state superintendent, the presi
dent of tho state university and other
leading educators throughout tho
state. Tneso debating leagues are
an Important feature of higher edu
cational work, In the east, today, and
deserve every possible encourage
ment, as of tho greatest possible val
"ue to secondary schools. The Marsh
field High School is a member of the
league, and the championship for the
Southern district, embracing Klam
ath Falls, Medford, Grants Pass,
Rosdburg, North Bend and Marsh-
Held, n6w lies between Grants Pass
and our own high school team. This
la no Slight distinction in itself, yet
'wo seo very little of tho school spirit
manifested, and no enthusiasm
among 'the general public or press of
tho community to encourage our
,. team.
The championship is to be deter
mined by -a debate between Grants
Pass and Marshfleld at Itoseburg, on
the 2S Inst. The league ruj?s requiro
each team to bear its own expenses
when meeting on mutual ground. If
one team visits tho homo city of
another team, tho visiting team are
at no expense, tho homo team defray
ing them all. Tho rules also allow
each team to bo accompanied by ono
member of tho high school faculty,
In tileinterests' of fairness, and If
thero aro ladies on tho team, by a
chaperon, nil expenses to be born by
tho school sending tho team. The cost
to tho Marshfleld team to Itosoburg
and back, with Incidental expenses
of attendants, will bo not less than
?135.00. Thero Is lemalning from
the receipts of the last dobato about
$35.00. Tho question Is, how is tho
other $100 to bo raised? Let our pub
lic spirited citizens show a llttlo of
the school spirit that, characterized
Tho Dalles in their preliminary de
bate with Hood River. Tho prominent
business men of tho town, among
themselves raised enough money to
charter a special train and decorate
it brilliantly, inside and out with
bunting, ponants and other forms of
school colors. Then over a quarter
of a thousand of the leading people
of the city accompanied tho team to
Hood River, when, under tho impetus
of tho enthusiastic work done, victory
was assured. Now, cannot our peo
ple do at least as much as to raise tho
necessary funds for our trip to Itose
burg for tho championship, without
tho humiliation of our having to ask
for it by circulating a subscription
list? Start a spirit of enthusiasm.
Lot our high school team feel that
interest is takon in tholr efforts, and,
If they como homo tho Qlipmnlpug of
at"P district, gvo them ft rotislnc ro
- JVUon, one. that will bo nil oyont In
their lives.
Wo have u high school. Its pu
'n'lls, in tho thoroughness and accura
cy of their work, stand among tho
best. Show them by an enthusiastic
public spirit that their work la worthy
and their efforts aro appreciated.

CAPTAIN MAGENN
. TO RECITE POEM
Breakwater Skipper Will Give Coos
Ray First Chance to Hear "Tho
Coming of "the Fleet."
Captain Magenn, tho salt water
bard, and master of tho steamer
Breakwater, will be a feature on
Friday night's program of tho Marsh
fleld chamber of commerce, when he
will give to tho public for the first
time his latest pen effort, "The Com
ing of tho Fleet." Though this ver
satile skipper has made many clever
contributions to poetic literature, It
is said that nothing has ever inspired
and appealed to him quite so strong
ly as tho sending of Uncle Sam's ar
mada around the Horn to Pacific
coast waters. Captain Magenn, in the
role of reciter displays tho same char
acteristic ability that has made his
pooms famouB along tho coast. Those
who attend tho mooting Friday are
assured of a rare treat.

recently In Portland In the interest of
Coos Bay, will be at the meeting Frl

prospects of an appropriation for
Coos Bay harbor. An address will

ing will be called to order at 7:30

North Bend Merchant Insti
tutes Innovation Mercy
Hospital Day.
Another Illustration of tho re
gressive, spirit of the Myers Store,
North Bend, will be given this week
when on Friday and Saturday 5 per
cent of all its sales will go to the
Mercy hospital of that cfty. Visitors
will find the commercial atmosphere
universally synonimous with busi
ness establishments, conspicuous by
reason of Its absence on Friday and
Saturday; for, not only will tho In
terior of the Myers Store bo metam
orphosed Into a veritable fairyland,
symbolic of spring, but, on this oc-
caslon, the store will bo turned over
to the Catholic ladies who will re-
ceive and entertain the visitors.
In the basement of the store an
original and unique idea has been
carried out. The basement is of the
same floor dimensions as the main
floor. One half of It ha3 been turn
ed over to tho carpenters and they
have transformed It into a typical
California summer garden. Ever
greens, rustic walks, minature lakes
and grottos combine to form a real
istic picture which ellcts unsparing
praise from tho surprised visitor. As
a climax to the whole, in one portion
of tho "garden" ono steps Into a lit
tle theater, with footlights, drop
curtains, stage and background. The
auditorium of this novel playhouse
will seat comfortably 55 people. Its
financial success is a foregone con
clusion. What theatrical treat the
ladies intend for the public, they are
holding in reserve until Saturday
afternoon. It will be in the realm
of music however and Mrs. Langen
berg will be in charge. Titere will
bo a program both in tho afternoon
and evening.
Friday afternoon the reception
committee will give a musicale on
the main floor balcony and will also
servo punch. The following ladies
compose tho committee: Mesdames,
McCullom, Hoelllng and Mather;
Misses, Flanagan, Curren, Truman
and Kehoe. Saturday afternoon and
evening, from 2 to 5 and from 7 to
10 refreshments will bo served in the
basement. Following is the refresh
ment committee: Mesdames, Barr

PKEDICT HUGHES XOMIXATIOX
Slu-cml Man Says Hughes Will Get
Bulk of Cannon's and All Knox'
Votes On tho Breakaway
From Favorite Sons.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11. Three
of tho shrewdest political observers
in tho country, men with many years'
experience in National campaigns, af
ter two weeks' canvass and confer
ence at tho expense of tho Washing
ton Post, predict tho nomination of
Governor Hughes. Their analysis of
the ballots at tho convention shows:
Oregon four for Hughes and four
for Taft; Washington four for
Hughes and six for Taft.
Tho following is tho basis of tho
predictions: Taft will on first ballot
lack about 150 of nomination. His
total may Increase In the subsequent
ballots, but not sufficiently to nomin
ate him. Hughes will bo 25 or moro
behind Taft on tho first ballot, but
Will increase on every ballot until '
nominated," I
Oil no btiiiut Will u majority of any i
candidate's, vote be transferred to ,
Tate-, tho candldato who, although i
his Voto may bo large to begin with,
Will lose votes quickest, Is Cannon.
"Whon tho majority of Cannon's voto
goes to Hughes, following tho break
away of somo Cannon votes to Taft, I
tho Pennsylvania voto will follow tho .
bulk of tho Cannon voto to Hughes. (
On the same ballot, when that move-,
ment Is seen, tho Fo raker voto will go
to Hughes. Tho Fnlrbanks and La
Follotto votes will onduro longest,
but, if tho balloting is prolonged,
enough votes to nomlnato Hughes
will go from them. I
