A A few years ago Mr. Mellen, Mr.
Harrlman, Mr. Elliott and the rest,
would have laughed such an idea to

to be of value on such a' subject,
says in the Southern Workman:

AS TO COMMON SCHOOLS.
T HAS been frequently charged
that tha common school' cdtfrses
. of Oregonare overburdened with
non-essentials, and that essen
tials are neglected. Reading, writ
ing and arithmetic were the branches
our fathers were fed on. These were
accentuated with a persistence that
Jngronnd them into the child nature.
' Armed with these and the skill ac
quired ln the spelling schools, the
' business life was ."undertaken with a
. considerable degree of confidence.
These conditions are recalled by the
report of an educational committee
for the city of Cleveland, which rec
ommends a return to school courses
, of narrower focus and greater ac-
. centuation. The commission devoted
a year, and a half to Its investiga-
x . tlohs, and the gist of its recommen
dations was: . More effort and time
to reading; supervision of writing to
, be iacreaaed; thorough and continu
ous training in mental arithmetic, In
. every grade in which the subject is
taught; ;more time to the essentials-reading-,
writing, arithmetic' and
spelling; smaller classes; greater use
of the dictionary by pupils; -better
correlation of the physical training
work with other studies. - '. v -
' There ; is no doubt hut we hava
been given more or less to faddlsm.
have neglected and. are neglect
ing reading and spelling.' The new
generation, compared to the old, is
sadly deficient in both. The mourn
ful cadence )ot the; reading and the
wretched spelling of . many .present
crime that oxlsts. This feeling has
taken hold of many men who have
themselves been addicted to the liq
uor habit. The movement is, in
fact, a very deep and genuine one, a
sort of moral revolution."
While the propensity of the more
depraved portion of southern negroes
.to commit certain crimes was doubt
less one cause of the prohibition
sentiment in that section, it was not.
as has been represented, the only
nor indeed the chief cause. Intern
perance affects the economic value
and status of eacn race, ana turns
out white as well aB negro criminals
of all kinds and degrees ln great
numbers. In portions ot tne nortn,
as well as in the south, multitudes
of people who have never been pro
hibitionists are looking the liquor
traffic over, slslng it up and asking
'Does it pay?"
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
P'
ERHAPS a layman cannot un
derstand the Ingoings and out
comings of congress. Possibly
the upmovlngs and downslt-
tings of legislation at Washington
are not intended to be comprehended
by the lay mind. Hence The Jour
nal is pardonable, If it errs in this wrote as follows
