A school leather was toniplaining I
the other day of the inability of her
children to talk. On the playground j
no limit existed to their volubility,)
but in school they could not express
themselves. It was not simply that
they could not discus; natters that'
come up in lessons, tney couian t
stand up at their desks and give a
connected account of z ball game If
you ask them to describe an excur
sion they bad enjoyed, all they can
say is, "It was great."
And yet these are not the days of
"Children should be eeen and not
heard." Young America has the
floor and is permitted to interrupt
his elders at will.
There are many mute inglorious
Miltons in the world, having great
gifts of observation and penetration.
Their friends regret that they are so
little known and appreciated. Usual
ly they lack some gift of concentra
tion. They can't focus their roaming
genius and make it count They
can't formulate logically their
thoughts and place them connectedly
before other people.
It is a vital thing in a school to
develop this cift The writing of es
says and compositions is useful. Dec
lamation of some other person's
words helps toward self-possession.
But these exercises doa't give readi
ness of personal expression. In the
contracts of life, the right word and
sequence of ideas must be nearly in
stantaneous. Probably debates are the most use
ful means of bringing out this gift.
Some people think that the power to
think on your feet, to develop
thought as you go along. Is needful
only to the orator and statesman.
But every business man needs it to
sell his goods. Every professional
man needs i.t to sell his ideas. And
there Is no easier way for the person
of humble position to rise, to sell his
services to better adantage, than to
show a gift for expressing ideas con
nectedly and reasonably.
WHAT OTHERS SAY.
Portland Oregonian: Ashland
prings, at Ashland, Ore., are receiv
ing a larger share of attention from
eastern travelers and from eastern
railroads, and it is probable that they
soon will become the mere a for thou
sands of tourists annually.
The following item in the monthly
bulletin of the Chicago k Northwest
ern Railroad is Indicative of the no
tices that now are appearing In rail
road publications everywhere:
"The mineral springs at Ashland,
Ore., which have long been known
and used, ara being extensively im
proved by the city. The waters of
the litbia, soda ?nd sulphur springs
will be piped into the heart of the
city and dirtributed to various places
where they will be furnlnhed for con
sumption. Provision will also be
made to pipe carbon dioxide gas with
which the lithia and soda springs are
heavily charged, and the gas will be
used In the sanatorium, for gas baths
administered under methods simitar
to those at the water cures of Eu
rope. Ashland is on the line of the
Southern Pacific between San Fran
cisco and Portland, and tourist tick
ets are good for stopover at that
point."
A negro of Murphysboro, 111., who
was convicted of the murder of a
woman went to the gallows smoking
a ten-cent cigar, according to a re
cent press dispatch. What an ad for
the cigar! -
When some men fall to make a hit
they try to fix the responsibility on
the hammer.
Ashland may well be proud of her
schools. The following clipping tak
en from the Bulletin issued by the
University of Oregon, dealing with
the survey of the Ashland schools
completed last year under the per
sonal direction of a board of promi
nent educators of the northwest, is
in itself an editorial:
"To the Patrons of the Ashland
Schools:
"The committee for the construct
ive survey of the Ashland public
schools wishes to asure you that your
school system is rendering efficient
and economical service. We believe
that your sons and daughters are re
ceiving excellent training. Moreover,
the parents and taxpayers of Ashland
are to be congratulated upon possess
ing a public school system of excep
tional merit in spirit and practice.
"It should be remembered, how
ever, that the standards of education
are progressive and that the oppor
tunities and demands of life daily
grow more complex. It will not do
to rest upon the oars now. We
therefore urge you to be ever on the
alert to keep your schools in the van
of progress so that Ashland's great
est product, the coming generation,
will grow to its fullest fruition and
yield returns in most abundant measure."
THIS PLACE NOT FOR SALE.
One can find on any street In any
community, "This Place for Sale"
signs plastered on the front of houses
or stuck up on posts on the lawn. We
would like to suggest that here In
Ashland every man who is not anx
ious to sell, plae a sign, "This Place
Not for Sale, Ashland Suits Us,"
where It may be prominently seen
On second thought, this would hardly
do. No owner of a well-kept lawn
and a tidy house would deface his
property with a sign, and it would be
the property owner whose place is
well kept who would have occasion
to make use of our suggestion. The
property owner who lets his place
grow up to weeds has also a mind
choked up with weeds and always
sees the place In which ho would like
to live, just over the mountain from
bis present residence.
HOW ABOUT IT?
Do you, Mr. Drygoodsman or Mr,
Grocerynian or clerk or manager of
anv store, when asked what brand of
canned peaches, or blankets, or cat
sup is best, direct the customer to the
niade-in-Oregon product, or do you
direct him to the product upon which
you make the biggest profit? In the
long run, boosting the made-in-Ore-gon
product when the product is up
to quality, as It should be if you have
it on your shelves, will pay and pay
big. Preach "trade at home" and
practice it when you do your buying.
At the Portland Manufacturers and
Land Products Show, which opens in
Portland next week, a great propor
tion of the staples which you have on
your shelves will be shorn with Ore
gon labels. Let us try it a round.
