FJccd of Institutions to Train
Teachers in Practical Side of
Their Profession. . ' !.
Weston. Or., TWay 19. To the Editor
o- The Journal Our friend the Or
gonlan Is exceedingly troubled because
the people of Oregon are going to have
an opportunity to decide upon a ques
tion of vital significance to them th
"normal ' question." ,' -v"u J:.'y
If the people are possessed of Intel
ligence sufficient to warrant them be
ing granted tiie ballot, then let them
tine It In. deciding this 4uestlon, Evi
dently the Oregonian feara that the
people" may not coincide with its opin
ion la the matter at Issue. -
The normal school, as even the Ore
gonian will admit. Is the '.most effic
ient mans of, educating , and training
teachers for our public schools, It has
hern suggested that departments 0
duration or courses In pedagogy be
grafted upon the high school, college
and university, and that these are suf
ficient One central Institution, to be
situated, let -us say, la ; Portland, is
also advocated.
The university In Its, present state
cannot keep a proper balance between
the amount of attention given to the
practice work, on the one hand, and tha
academic work: on , the other. The ed
ucation report of the commissioner of
education (1909), gives the conclusion
reached after thorough investigation of
the English colleges and universities.
The board ef education has this to
say: , ? -- vV v.-'".' .
"The board is greatly concerned by
the increasing difficulty of securing for
students who take university courses
adequate instruction and training for
the main business of their profession.
The pressure of their academical work
Is so heavy that such students are often
excused at present from courses In
physical exercises and manual training;
their training In the art of teaching it
self and other professional subjects is
often lamentably, inadequate, and it. Is
impossible at present to Impose upon
them the Instruction In hygiene which
should form an essential part of the
equipment of a teacher, and more espe
cially for service In a public elemen
tary school."
tittle Tims t Of IPractlce.
The tendency in universities is to en
courage prospective teachers to take
the ordinary academic work of the other
students and to get their professional
work In lectures. , One of two things
will happen in such cases: the student
mr,iirinir ti teach must neglect his
professional training or endanger ma j
physical well-being by overwork. The
right attitude toward professional train-!
lng is not cultivated. . The subject Is
emphasized, not the activity of the In
dividual human mind. Jt Is evident to
any intelligent student that the regular
academic subjects are considered by col
lege, authorities as vastly more Impor
tant than any strictly pedagogical sub
jects. Even In the pedagogical sub
jects the method Is the lecture presen
tation, the Instructor doing the thinking,
the students Imbibing facts that might
be required in an examination. The
student Is constantly drinking in a ped
agogy the opposite of that which Is be
ing presented In the lectures. Our uni
versities have- become strongholds for
book domination, lecture, authority of
dogma, and system. University grad
uates are In danger of making a fetish
of such Instruction. ' .
The largest centralized normal School
or college must necessarily adoijf simi
lar methods of instructing large classes.
The greatest work of the normal schoo'
is diametrically opposed to such instruc
tion, and is a reaction against tt Un
der the leadership of our educational
reformers, all is subordinated and Is
primarily directed to. the understanding
the development of the individual,
through the study of his "self activity
and self realization." This means an
inductive method In Initiating the child
into each and every subject the ques
tion and answer method. ,
No one will argue that much im
provement cannot. and will not bp made
In our training schools, especially
along academic lines, but in accordance
With pedagogical principles.
Doctor von Wehner, minister of pub
lic instruction in Bavaria, recently re
plied to parliamentary Inquiries con
cerning the establishment ; of separate
-chairs, -of pedagogy In Bavarian uni
versities, as follows:.':' , ' v -""j
"The reports of the three universities
(Munich, Wurzbufg ; and ,; Erlangen),
were received in due time by the govern
ment The introduction of practice
nchools Into the universities was re
jected by all three senates."
Among the various arguments against
pedagogical professorships were theset
"The practical preparation of future
secondary., teachers properly belongs to
the pedagogical seminaries; that of
teachers of elementary schools to model
. classes In. normal schools. , , The univer
sity, as such, has other objects In.vleW;
it has to promote the professional "and
purely human preparationof students.
Connecting; model or practice schools
i'wlih-the universities would raise ob
Eectlons; concerning the principles upon
jwhlch university education rests; it
"would also create great administrative
"difficulties .relating to the teachers of
uch schools, their pupils, . and local
school conditions."
In the leading German, universities as
.Berlin, Leipzig, Marburg and Jena, ped
agogy is represented by a number of
chairs of philosophy, but a model school
for experimental teaching Is founfl only
at Jena, Thus we see the model school',

Form Willamette Forest Fire
Association, Which Plans to
j Fight Forest Fires; C. G.
: Briggs Elected President.
The Willamette Forest Fire associa
tion was organized this morning by a
number of large timber owners of
Multnomah, Clackamas," Linn ; and
Marlon counties. This afternoon the
timber owners of Linn and Lincoln
counties are getting together for pro
tection against forest fires during the
coming summer. '
1 The district organizations now being
formed win be subsidiary to the Oregon
Forest Fire association, Organized In
this city some time ago ' along . plans
similar to those adopted by the state
associations In Washington, Idaho and
Montana. . . ,
v Tne Willamette association adopted
articles of organization and then pro
ceeded to elect five directors as fol
lows,: JV C Knapp, E. S. Collins, C. O.
Briggs, It S. Shaw and C. A. Mann. The
board , of directors then elected C G.
Briggs of Holland, Briggs & Avery,
president, R. S. Shaw of - the . Curtis
Lumber company, vice "president, and
Wtido Avery Jr. of Holland, Briggs A
Avery, secretary.
The association will at once "begin
enrolling membership of all timber
owners In the association and In the
near . future plans for patrolling and
guarding the timber will be carried into
etfect. -
C, O. BHggs, as president of the sub
sidiary , organization, will have a seat
at the meetings of the state association,
This will be the first time In the his
tory of the state that the timber owners
have gotten together lna. NBystematio
way for the purpose of guarding against
the fire danger. It is expected that ex
cellent ' results will be obtained. In
years past thousands of dollars' wffrth
of timber has been destroyed annually
by flames that' have spread. from camp
fire or other causes, but with well .'or
ganized patrols covering the various
districts, it is believed that ravages ,by
fire -can be reduced to Insignificance.

ing Instructed the Jury in the condemna
tion suit of the city against Marie I
Flanders and the AUfers Brothers' Mill
ing company, Involving right of way fof
the Broadway bridge through the Green
wich dock, to find in a lump sum the
damages that will be suffered by tha
appropriation of the property. After
that the Jury will apportion the amount
between Mrs. Flanders ana the milling
concern, the latter having taken a 28
year lease with an option to, purchase
for 1260,000. , The sum awarded the mlll-
ing company is to be added to the sum
required to remove the portion of the,
milling plant and machinery now on the
ground. ' ' " - -,
The Jury retired to consider Its ver
dict about 10 o'clock. The final argu
ment for the city was made late yester

Soon. -' .
One or more of the &t Johns' rfot
cases, will be tried In the circuit court
next month, This was made practically
certain yesterday afternoon by the over
ruling of demurrers Interposed In behalf
of Gordon Dickey, the alleged riot lead
er, and three other suspected' rioters.,
The decision was handed down toy Pre
siding Judge Morrow. . : v
A. E. Clark and F. J. Lonergan, repre
senting the defendants, contended the
Indictment was defeotlve because it
charge the commission pf five or six
crimes under the one cover, but Judge
Morrow Sustained the contention of Dep
uty District Attorney Fitzgerald and
Dan J. Malarkey that these crimes were
Incidental to the riot and were necessar
ily Include? In the description to bring
the offense under the section providing
Imprisonment In 'the penitentiary.
Judge Morrow ordered the defendants
to report this afternoon to-enter their
pleas. When this formality Is complet
ed, . the case will be set for. trial at the
June term. Separate trials - are being
demanded for the iWendants and the
stale wUl elect which tone shall be tried
first Gordon Dickey' probably will be
chosen. :
Under the theory of the state any of
the defendants who participated In the
riots can be held responsible to the ex
tent , of any of the crimes committed
during the progress of the rlot, though
they did not themselves commit the par
ticular crime. Malarkey, who has been
retained by the British government to
assist In the prosecution of the alleged
rioters," ;gave an interesting and detailed
statement of ' the theory upon which the
Indictments " were drawn, several fine
points of construction being Involved.

'"Of course, I have often been In New
York," said Mr. Hfulhern. telling about
it afterward, '"but the Curb is one fea
ture of New. York life I had "never
struck. I was going a(ng Wall street

when I heard the gfeatest yelling and
shouting, and there a little way down
In Broad street I saw a' street full of
men yelling and shaking their fists at
each other. I quickened my pace be
cause ' when there ' is a fight I like
to see it. - As I drew nearer I saw

two or more men had had a dispute
and had decided to settle it in a ring.
'"But by the time I reached the scene
the noise had all Quieted, down and
evefybody was apparently talking with
everybody else In the deaf and dumb
language. I dld not know . what to
make f It all juntll I asked one of the
men I saw about, and he explained. It
certainly was worth seeing. .

several years old, and cold storage meat,

to be fresh to be good is the very Mo-

to speak of it) can be kept on ice for ,
10 years and still- be good.' 1, must beg '
leave to question the 'luscious part, '
