EDUCATIONAL PKOGRKSS.
kf round numbers there were 22,
000,000 persons enrolled in educa
tional Institutions tin the United
States in 1914, according to the an
nual report of the commissioner of
education Just Issued. Of these
over 19,000,000 were In elementary
schools, 1,374,000 in secondary
schools, both public and private, and
216,000 in colleges and universities.
Close to another hundred thousand
were in normal schools preparing to
be teachers, 67,000 were in profes
sional schools, and the remainder
vere scattered through other types
of institutions. The teachers for
this educational army numbered
700,000, of whom 566,000 were in
public schools. In point of rapid
growth the public high school still
presents the most Impressive figures;
the enrollment for 1914 is greater
by over 84,000 than for the year be
fore. The cost of education for the year,
as estimated by the bureau, was
1750,000,000. "This three-quarters
of a billion is a relatively small
amount when compared with other
items in the public expense," de
clares the report. "It is less by
$300,000,000 than the cost of run
ning the federal government; it is
less than one-third the nation's ex
penditure for alcoholic liquors; it is
only a little over three times the esti
mated cost of admissions to moving
picture theatres in the United States
for the same year. Measured in
terms of products of the soil, the
United States spent somewhat more
for education in 1914 than the value
of its cotton crop, somewhat less
than the value of Its wheat crop, and
less than half the value of the an
nual harvest of corn; while the na
tion's bill for education was less by
nearly a hundred millions than the
value of the exports from the harbor
of New York In the calendar year
juRt passed."
Very little increase is yet to be
noted in the average term for public
schools. Between 1910 and 1913
the increase was from 157.5 days a
year to 158.1 a growth of only six
tenths of a day in three years. At
tendance has improved, however.
The average number of days attend
ed by each person enrolled Increased
from 113 in 1910 to 115.6 in 1913.
BLUE BOOK READY.
Secretary of State Ben W. Olcott
has the Oregon Blue Book ready for
distribution. This year's, while no
larger, contains many added and val
uable features. It gives a history
of Oregon; the state constitution,
with amendments; list of state and
county officers; description of state
boards, commissions and institutions,
with names of members and officers;
an outline of duties of county of
ficers; list and duties of federal of
ficers having jurisdiction In Oregon;
Information about the state flag,
state seal, state flower, legal holi
days, legal interest rates, and qualifi
cations, for voters; an abstract of
votes on president, senators, con
gressmen and state officers; abstract
of votes on all initiative and referen
dum measures submitted to the state;
list of state appropriations; list of
former state officers; lists of Oregon
newspapers, postofflces, banks and
libraries.
Every year the Blue Book Is im
proving, and this issue keeps It at
the head of all similar publications
by state governments, for It Is con
cise, handy, well written contains a
greater variety of Information in
more readable and accessible form;
in fact, it reflects the efficiency of
Secretary Olcott't office, which is
saying a great deal.
Every Toter is entitled to a copy
as Ions the supply lasts. Write
ow, so as to be sure to cet one.
THE NEWSPAPER'S FREE
SERVICE.
If a board of trade is organized to
boom a town, it finds that it is ex
pensive work. Secretaries must be
hired, office rent paid, supplies must
be settled for in cash. People usu
ally make no discount because the
work is for a public cause.
Meanwhile the newspaper is boom
ing the home town all the time, and
for the most of the services It ren
ders it asks no pay. If its motives
are not wholly unselfish, at least it
is far sighted enough to expect its
compensation in the added prosperity
that comes to all enterprises when
the town grows.
In view of all this unpaid service,
it is fair to ask a reciprocal spirit on
the part of its home community. The
Tidings is not complaining of its sup
port, which has been generous and
friendly. It merely reminds its read
ers that when they pay down their
money for a subscription they not
merely get their money's worth in the
form of news, but they are helping to
support an agency that gives unpaid
service all the time for the develop
ment of the community.
In view of the growth of prohibi
tion sentiment in England, there
should be more sympathy over there
for the sufferings of our naval of
ficers for the past year or more.
From the difficulty that is experi
enced in getting laws approved by
the courts, it seems very doubtful if
the constitution Is constitutional.
The excellent quality of the fertil
izer used on many gardens last
spring is being demonstrated by the
fine crop of weeds now being har
vested.
The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
Dad Here's to You.
We happened in a home the other
night and over the parlor door saw
the legend worked in red yarn on a
porous plaster background, "What
is Home Without a Mother?" Across
the room was another brief "God
Bless Our Home."
Now, what's the matter with "God
Bless Our Dad?" He gets up early,
lights the fire, boils an egg and
gives the lawn a close shave while
mother is still dreaming of how she
is going to trim Mrs. Gotthe Stuff
at bridge that afternoon.
He rustles the weekly hand-out for
the butcher, the grocer, the milk
man, the baker, along with several
etceteras, and before he is home an
hour on pay day his weekly stipend
has shrunk to just the size of carfare
and six sittings in the broad arm
chair at the jitney dairy lunch pal
ace. 4
If there is a strange noise in the
house at night Dad is kicked in the
back and sent downstairs to find the
burglar and kill him or get put to
sleep by a rap on the bean. Mother
darns the socks, but Dad puts up for
the socks in the first place, then the
yarn and the needles, and patiently
stands for the callouses on his feet
which the darned socks make.
Mother puts up the fruit against
Dad putting up the price of the fruit,
the sugar and the jars. Dad buys
chickens for the Sunday dinner,
carves them for the family, and after
the rush dras from the ruins the
neck, or the other extremity.
"What is home without a moth
er?" Yes, that's all right, but, What
is home without a father? Ten to
one it's a boarding house, father is
under the slab and mother is the
landlady!
Dad, here's to you! You've got
your faults you may have lots of
'em but you're all right, and we'll
miss you when you're gone.
Standard legal blank forms of
every kind may be procured at the

Notes From Oregon
Building at Fair
An exhibit in the Oregon pavilion,
Palace of Agriculture, that attracts
a great deal of attention Is that one
showing 670 varieties of products
from a single farm. This showing
is made by D. M. Lowe of Jackson
county, who Is particularly well
known to Oregon State Fair attend
ants. This exhibit is made up of
grains, grasses, fruits, vegetables,
the legumes, several varieties of
corn, flax and about everything else
uamable. The average visitor is
thoroughly amazed that such a tre
mendous variety of products can be
produced on a single farm, and many
stay to discuss the situation thor
oughly. That this production is ob
tained without the aid of Irrigation,
that the products grow to a splendid
maturity without Interruption, and
that so much of the exhibits is of
top-notch stuff but increases the
wonder. A feature of the exhibit is
a large case of silver cups, medals
and blue ribbons that Mr. Lowe has
won by similar exhibits at other ex
positions and state fairs.' This Is a
magnificent advertisement of south
ern Oregon and the state at large
and furnishes great, opportunity for
attendants to dwell upon Oregon op
portunity and possibility. A com
panion exhibit also assists very ma
terially in this effort at exploitation.
This is the splendid showing made
by F. M. Sherman of Linn county.
He shows what can be grown on an
unirrigated ten-acre farm and there
is an unusual variety of fine prod
ucts. However, Mr. Sherman has
discovered that It pays to grow first
class seed of all kinds and this is his
special effort. There is always a
strong demand for good seed at a
good price and he recommends this
industry to those on the small tract.
The public finds his exhibit of great
Interest.
Valley Film.
"Grace's Visit to the Rogue River
Valley" is a new six-reel film now
being shown. This portrays the
scenic beauty, the productivity and
the social life of the valley. It is a
beautiful film and is greatly enjoyed
by hundreds of visitors weekly.
Oregon Girls and Boys Honored.
The Oregon building Is the center
for much special activity these days.
The United Artisans held their con
vention at the building on Monday
and the Salem drill team, which, won
out in the big drill contest, created
quite a furore. There was an all
day program and the Artisans were
fed on the building'B vast expanse of
balcony. Then came the Panama
Pacific Historical Congress for a ses
sion at the theatre In this building.
Prof. Joseph Schafer of the state uni
versity presided and read a paper on
Our Interest
in you is not determined by the
amount of your business. We are
interested in your success because
without the success of the Individ
uals of this community we cannot
succeed.

ACTION OF SINGLE SPOONFUL
SURPRISES MANY
Ashland people who bought the
simple mixture of buckthorn bark,
glycerine, etc., known as Adler-i-ka
are surprised at the INSTANT effect
of a SINGLE SPOONFUL. This rem
edy is so complete a bowel cleanser
that it is used successfully in append
icitis. Adler-i-ka acts on BOTH up
per an J lower bowel and ONE
SPOONFUL relieves almost ANY
CASE of constipation, sour or gassy
stomach. ONE MINUTE after you
take it the passes rumble and pass
out. T. K. Bolton, druggist.
The Western Ocean as a Determi
nant In Oregon History." Friday
night one of the largest formal so
cial functions of the exposition was
given In honor of the young women
of the Oregon Agricultural College
here serving in the domestic science
demonstration kitchen and dining
room, and In honor of the college
and university young men here as
guides. The invitation list Included
the highest exposition officials, of
ficialdom at the various state build
ings, the elite of the society of the
bay cities, and the sojourning friends
of these young people. Hundreds of
these came to do the young people
honor and large numbers stayed to
enjoy the dancing. The domestic sci
ence women were congratulated
warmly on the success of their un
dertaking and the expressions came
from the Innermost depths, for the
Oregon building's dining room Is the
fad with the greatest of the great.
The band from the battleship Oregon
furnished music for the occasion,
and as a most distinguished honor
the Oregon's $15,000 punch bowl
and service was loaned. This splen
did social function was the happy
thought of Commissioner John F.
Logan, who desired to show the
world Oregon's appreciation of the
young women of the state in their
successful endeavor to dignify home
service, and of the young men in
preparing practically for usefulness.
And other functions are to follow
swiftly. On the 29th fifteen hundred
gallons of loganberry juice will tell
at least fifteen thousand people of a
new nectar more glorious than that
which Jupiter sips. There will be
an all-day program. August 9 to 17
will be "All Oregon Week," each
day a special day and probably with
a function each night. The 17th is
"Benson Day" and this will be made
one of the greatest days of the ex-

Ashland Cherries Unsurpassed
Bing cherries sent from Ashland
by H H. Leavltt on July 23 were
judged June 26 and put on display.
On July 17 they were still lovely to
look upon and, according to Califor
nia experts, were in condition to ship
to New York. Mr. Phlpps of Med
ford had Bings on display fifteen
days and these were equally as good,
and there were Lamberts from Lea
vitt also. The Horticultural build
ing, with its heat and excess of light,
offers the severest test possible for
cherries. C. N. Ravlln, director of
horticulture, says he believes the
Rogue River valley grows the great
est shipping cherry in the world.
When a Hood River man admits that
there must be something to it. Next
year all cherry sections should make
a test.
