camps at the municipal auto
camp grounds. Tte number of
camps at the city grounds last
night nearly doubled the average
ftV last week and it Js anticipated
that by tonight many more w.ll
take advantage of the camp.
Campers at the fair ground)
have found the ground there ex
tremely damp becausa of the b'g
trees which prevent rapid absorp
tion of the rain. The city camp
hag much more open space and is
larger with ths result that tha
ground has become fairly dried
out. Seventy-five more camps
can be made on the municipal
grounds without over crowding it.

mors that Klnr Christian of Den-l

from the fict that many influen

here at present were of the opin
ion that an official visit to Amer
ica by the king and' queen would
be likely to further strengthen the
natural bonds of friendship be

thought that it was desirable the

Throughout Nations is
Uurged by Leader
John .1. Tigert, United States
commissioner of education, in ad
dressing more than 100 of the
leading educators of Oregon Mon
day noon at the Marion hotel com
plimented the state on its show
ing of 92 rer cent of its school
population attend ng- school.
This showing, he said, is great
ly in advance of many states and
Is due larg3ly to the Tact that Ore
gon Is blersed with an exception
ally advanced school svstem.
Advertising Lacking
After a short visit In Oregon,
the eomm'ssioner "a d that the
only fault he could find with the
state was that it did not advertise
enough, and that the stats's great
educational system, and its many
natural advantages were but little
kiowu in the east. He aho com
plimented, the state over tii fact
that five-sixths of Its turners
have had professional training. "
As a nat'on, Commiss'oner Ti
gert said Americans are given to
boasting, while, as a fact., there i3
nothing to boan about in the na
nation's educational work. Of
the 27,000, CT0 children in the
country of school age. Mr. Tigart
had figures to show that only 2 -000.000
were actually enrolled,
and of this number the average
attendance was only 13.000,000.
Other System Compared
Comparing the American educa
tional system w'th others, he said
there was miich less illiteracy in
Germany, and that the German
system of educat'on was in manv
resnectB. superior to the Ameri
can. Ho figured that the per
cent of teachers with proper train
ing looked bad for the future,
only om out of every five, he paid,
has had professional training In
stead of boasting a fne educa
tional system, he thouRht much
could be done in the way of pro
viding higher qualifications for
taachine. and j"so an enforcement

of the laws compelling children to
attend school. '""""
Xevr Lavr Commmdctl
Mr. Tigert aga'n complimented
the state on the law passed by
the last legislature wh'ch will be
come efrect ve in another year,
which provides that all teachers
in Oreron must have normal
school training-
"We really have little to boast
about, considering the poor show,
ing made by the first million ot
mn who were examined at the
beginning of the war." Commis
sioner T'geit sa J. "One of the
ways to improve conditions would
be for people t.- give the teacher
the same consideration as one
would give a doctor or lawyer
that is called into the family and
that all parents should become ac
quainted with taacher of their
children."
Seating Scheme- Feature I

Salem Better Organized than
Ever to Entertain State
Fair Arrivals
ALL HOTELS COOPERATE
Crowds Coming Today Ex
pected to Take Ail Av
ailable Quarters
Salem is better organised this
year than ever before for provid
ing rooms for the state fair vis
itors and in every other way for
j handling the immense crowds that
are sure to oe nere tne rest oi me
week.
The hotels of th3 city, the Sa
lem Commercial club, and the
state fair board, agreed in advance
to a scheme for handling - the
rooming s tuation. Mrs. Emma
jiurphy Brown and Miss Margaret
Kibbe. who handled the rooming
situation at the time of the Elks
coavention, have desks in the lob
by of Hotel Marion, and they
have listed to date over 800
rooms, and are working early and
late in registering more rooms
and in sending ths vis tors to
their rooms, and answering thous
ands of questions.
Costs Not a Cent
This is costing noone in Salem
a cent. The people listing rooms
pay nothing. The rooms are list
ed at $1.50 to $2.50 a night; the
latter mostly with baths. The
rooms are all over Salem, many
of them :n the best homes. The
owners of the homes In many
cases are calling for the roomers
assigned to them with their own
automobiles.
The visitors are getting the bsst
service to be had in Salem, and
there is no rake-off anywhere in
connection with this undertaking.
Marion hotel itself has put in
a large number of extra beds,
which are being let at $1.50 a
night.
Visitor Commends Effort
A visitor yesterday said he had
traveled all over the country, and
visited many cities at fair times,
and that he had never seen the
situation handled better than it is
being handled thi3 weki n Sa
lem. There were many rooms not
taken last night. But Mrs. Brown
will likely be asked for more list
ings by today, or by tomorrow at
the latest.
There has been splendid coop
eration on the part of Salem home
owners; but there may be an
O. S. call by Mrs. Brown for
more rooms, and lounges and cois

BUDAPEST, Sept. 27. The fu

"A few years and Russia will
be as powerful as it was before

Europe and perhaps that of the
