Leslie Butler- of Hood River, president
of the Bankers' association, will represent-the

Superintendent Alderman said a
year's experience with earth education
In Oregon had served principally to
demonstrate the need o'f more definite
organization. He proposed that study
In agriculture be made a part of the
regular school schedule, not "hitched
on" an at present, and added that the
bulletins should bo Issued In such form
and manner as to serve as texts for
consecutive study. Superintendent Al
derman reromtnended ,'that prise be se

tinue to be offeted In connection with
the xontests. lie ; Jaald the prises at

Mr. Olmstead declared " that the time
had oomo to make the earth education
organization of Oregon a well upi
ported and representative a the most
progressive state and President Kerr of
Oregon Agricultural -college follpwed up
this idea try asserting that utility edu
catloif -entoe made a Part of the school
work of the state by merely utilising
the Interest aroused In a year. He
recommended that a committee of ex
pert be appointed to pass on all In
formation received,. from all state so
that there may be continuous clearing
house In earth education. He noted the
lack of agricultural training among the
teachers of the state. He said that one
of the greatest difficulties was to find
trained. ..men capable of aotlng a agri
cultural advisers. He said that the
small demonstration farm in each lo
cality must be established as a mean
of reaching the adult population. He
proposetf the Thin of drafting the bill
for an appropriation.
