Start Ball Rolling
For Normal in 1918
A- committee hns been appointed
from the- Ashland Commercial Club
which will work In conjunction with
the representatives from this county
and educators of the state in secur
ing a reopening of the Southern Ore
gon normal school at Ashland.
fclvery effort will be centered upon
the placing upon the ballot and the
carrying of a bill reestablishing the
normal lit the election two years
hence. Realization of the fact that
no appropriation could be xpected
from the legislature this year was
made plain by the representatives at
a meeting held with tho committee
last Frllay night. The fact that the
Pendleton normal bill, with Its vastly
greater appropriation and with the
opposition offered by Weston, camo
very near to carrying, and that the
Ashland normal proposition will have
no opposition of the kind, leads to
the belief that the voters of Oregon
are beginning to understand the need
of more normals and with two years
of educational work it Is hoped that
the Ashland normal bill will receive
a substantial majority.
A- meeting of a number of inter
ested Ashlanders was held Friday
night at the Commercial Club to lay
out a plan and start the ball rolling.
W. If. Core and lien Sheldon, who
will represent Jackson county at the
ne:;t session of the legislature, were
over from Medford to exchange views
with workers for the Southern Ore
gon Stato Normal at Ashland. Repre
sentative C. M. Thomas was expected,
but was unable to be present.
Mr. Sheldon and Mr. Core both ad
dressed the meeting Mr. Sheldon go
ing into the situation quite exhaus
tively from every angle. Ho and Mr.
Core both expressed the belief that
Ashland's ultimate chances for the
reopening of the Southern Oregon
normal are excellent and growing
better. IJoth, however, were agreed
that the securing of an appropriation
from tho next legislature Is out of
the question since the tax limitation
bill carried at the recent election.
It was the final conclusion of the
meeting that a' bill presented to the
people two years hence providing
for the establishing of a normal
school in Southern Oregon and an
other in Eastern Oregon will tarry.
Sentiment for the normal schools Is
steadily Increasing. The state board
of regents has declared for two more
state normals. The editors of the
state, fathered here In convention
hist summer, have a broader concep
tion of the isnie than ever before.
Pdueators generally see the need.
Brief speeches were made by Mr.
Eubanl's for the local school board.
Prof. Briucoe as to the attitude of the
faculty, E. J. Kaiser and others. It
was pointed out that the ragents
practically demand that additional
normals be located in cities that pro
vide H'Oil or more school children
for cadet teaching. Jt has been
found tlmt Oregon's one normal at
Monmouth has been hampered by
lack of this facility. Tho local schools
have 1010 pupils to say nothing of
the Belleview, Nell Creek and R-da
Springs schools contiguous to the n
Mini property. The Ashland schools
would glndly cooperate with n iioniial
in the matter of cadot t?peli'!i?r.
Homer Hillings, who acted as rbvr
men of t!-e meeting after President
Frank Jordan of the Commercial Cl'ib
called it to order, was authorised to
appoint an executive committee to
formulate a plan of campaign to be
submitted to the committee as a'
whole and N afterward to our repre
sentatives in tho legislature. The
meeting then adjourned. '

Surplus Water May

B. R. Creer appeared before the
city council following the budget
meeting Monday night and outlined
a plan for attracting tho investors
who are known to be contemplating
a sanitarium investment here, ask-
ing that the council gave an Informal
expression of their approval. The
council did not take definite action
lowing to the lateness of the hour,
but have the matter under consider
tlon and will meet this week again
to consider it.
Mr. Greer stated that while of
course the outcome of tho recent
election leleased the capitalists from
their promise regarding a sanitari
um, he believed they could yet ho
induced to matte the $50,000 Invest
ment here by offer of the mineral
waters. He made It plain that there
was just a chance of gottlng them
but that he considered It well worth
trying. He stated that arrangements
had been made with Messrs. Dodge

tlnn for their waters mid nskpil Hint
