In the begin ning sho won the most perfect typo o beauty on earth. Sho has con tinued to win -blue ribbons In the lieauty contests ever since. Sho wears them with a natural grace that makes her the natural queen of the universe, where all hearts pay a glad tribute to her reign. Beauty Is not woman's only prize. Rachel won the prize at the well drawing water. Poor but gentle Ruth married the rich man. The generosity of Abigail made her a king's bride. The Maid branches of study Included in the best high schools in the land? Marshfield is abundantly ablo to aflord this institution, which, in time, will repay Us cost a hundred fold. Since it must coruo sometime, since the start for the betterment of school facilities Is now to bo mdae citizens of Marshfield, you who have sons and daughters needing its benefits havo seo tho need of aught beside a good i it now, take a step that will count grammar school. Soon the rude awakening will come and she will re gret her sleep. Her school facilities are excellent as far as they go, but they neither begin soon enough nor extend far enough to bo thoroughly modern. Wo are assured of a fully equipped high school, which will bo provided with a corps of efficient trachers and a much moro extensive course of study. This should Includo higher mathematics, n thorough toward .the fuller education 1 No time is as good as the present, and a henrty effort in the right direction will accomplish wonders. Then, Marshfield, take your placo among modern cities of progress, and prove that neither the will nor tho way Is wanting! In conclusion; briefly, my sugges tions are these.

The Times Is pleased to present its readers herewith a copy of the prize- winning essay, "How to Improve Marshfleld's Educational Facilities," awarded first placo by tho judges In high school? A manual training high school Is not theoretic, it is intensely practical, and has been so demonstrated. In these days there is great specializa tion of work. A man's genius in one direction is cultivated and furnishes hib trade, or shapes his career. The manual training high school uncovers this genius or talent and shapes and directs it. A poor boy with talent may lack the means to make of hlm- Training High School, provided with capable teachers whoso salaries will bo sufficient to ensure their perman ent attachment to tho school.'

The school tide is not only a well written liter ary production, but is a thoughtful and ably presented discussion of an Important and always Interesting subject. In view of tho approach ing election In Marshfield on the question of a $50,000 bond issue for a now high school, it is particularly appropriate and timely. The article -will be found well worth reading, and in some respects remarkable when considered as the production of a young girl only in her teens. Marshfield and Coos Bay may well be proud of Miss Helen Bradley. In spiration and helpful suggestion are happily blended in her thoughtful thesis. The following is tho article in full: Mow to Improve the School Facilities Of Mnrslilleld. I take as a premise that tho sub ject of this essay is not limited In tlmo to tho present, and also that it dees not include material advantages, such as buildings or sites, which, therefore, I shall omit, but rather the instruction given and the means of Imparting it. A complete educational system em braces four branches tho kinder garten, the grammar school, tho high school, and tho university. Of theso, Marshfield has an excellent grammar school, and as tho college Is beyond tho scope of this artielo, only tho kindergarten and tho high school re main to be discussed. The kindergarten confers a three fold benefit, early discipline, a lovo of the beautiful, and application. Hero tho young children havo a second home, their natural lovo and appre ciation of tho beautiful and good are cultivated, their good traits are de veloped, they are kept busy, aud above all, they nro gontly disciplined and taught to respect authority and to ba obedient, without tho strain ot actual work. They learn tho lessons of order and politeness which servo them woll in later life. They nro taught to amuse and busy themselves valuablo lessons to young and rest less children. Tho klndergnrten Is Indispensable to progressive cities, and shortly Marshfield will feol tho need of one. provides him with this and he follows tho bent of his taste and learns his tiadc, carrying It on at the same time with his academic course. This is only one instance of the practicability of tho Manual Training High School. It Is, as the word "manual" means, o school in which manual training i3 done, wherein Its pupils are taught to work with their hands. Mechanical and free-hand drawing, wood-working, carving, carpentry, turning, forging, mechanics, mechani cal and civil engineering, and all branches of electricity are taught the boys. Departments In sewing, cook ing, millinery, house-keeping, draw ing and music are furnished the girls. Could anything be more useful and beneficial than thus putting in the way of our boys and girls the solid means of a livelihood, or, at least, Men niul Craft on tho Coqtilllc as Seen by Its Xeuspnpers.

MHMM"H-i'4-4H4H THE Empire Dramatic Company Will present tho well known and Popular Comedy Drama In four acts, known as help them in anything they may dertake? A benefit that cannot fall to appeal to parents and guardians is tho fact that the manual training high school will create ten times the amount of interest that is taken in tho present school work, and will be the much needed stimulus to school spirit. Boys who otherwise would leave school and spend their tlmo on the streets, will take an active interest in their studies on account of the vari ety offered, and will find their ambi tions stimulated by preparation for useful occupation later on. It Marshfield intends ever to be come a city of the world, of educated men and women, It must not lack tho means to educate Its boys and girls. Years ago cities of tho East adopted tho kindergarten and tho Manual Training High School and tho results aro manifest. Tho growing West must hurry to follow their example, and not let Its dormant talents rust oi die unused. It must bo borno In mind that this more modern school does not do away with tho regulnr high school work. On tho contrary, it broadens and surpasses it by adding other and equally important branches of learn ing to tho former ones.
