J- It is to be regretted that even one person in Salem should have the impression that the patient search in select- ing a proper site for the proposed great children's home of ' the Brotherhood of American Yeomen for the benefit of the orphans of members of the order in the United States and '"Canada, is a clever advertising scheme in the interest of se curing a'larger membership throughout the country. " , y, Four directors and the president of that order will be in I Oregon four days in February, froni the 23rd to the 26th in- 4 elusive, and they will be in Salem' on the 24th- I " And their business will be to check up on the sites point- . 1. ed : out by Mr. Farmer, who was here in September arid looked over some .very favorable locations near Salem for I-the proposed home T f i And . stranger things have happened than that one of these 'sites should be selected. ,- v It has been shown to these men charged with the final selection that the child mortality of Oregon Is the smallest of any state in the union; that such mortality is the small est in Portland of any large city in the United States, and that there are many advantages offered here for such an in stitution: 1 .1 1 , TTDY ; sroKxs Copyright, 1023, AMocteted Editor.

Decorate Candles If you happen to have an al cohol burner, or know where you can borrow one to use, you can decorate the candles by melting the sealing wax and allowing it to drop on the candle. .This Js done by holding the end of the wax over the burner and waiting until It melts enough ' to drop. For the little Christmas can dle at the right, a red candle with drops of green wax would be pretty, .with the holder also In green and red with a ' touch of silver. The other candles should also be decorated to match the holders The selection of the 3ite will be for all time. It is not for the immediate present The center of population will change ; and this is not by any means entirely a question of the center of population For on whose hand3 shall be the blood of the children be who would annually die in any other location than this; who would be irrevocably condemned to die in any locality of higher child mortality, throughout the years of the future? Is not a life more than a railroad fare?' Are not thousands of lives worth more than thousands of railroad fares ? Here is a proposed children's home that will cost at the beginning about five millions of dollars, and that will in crease to fifteen millions of dollars, and more in time; that will have a five million dollar endowment fund that will be one of the model homes of the kind in the whole world. The writer believes the vicinity of Salem has advantages for such a home above those possessed by any other locality in the United States or Canada And he believes any citizen here would be dere lict in his duty to his city and to all the generations of Yeo men orphans of the United States and Canada, who refuse or neglects to stay on the ob till the last, putting every favor able fact before the men having the final say in the selection of the site. - Another thing: That order has voted for the establish ing of a home for the aged and infirm members, in addition to the proposed children's home, and the selection of the site for the latter might have large influence on the location of the former. ' , Robert Duncan of the Salem Chamber of Commerce has worked faithfully with these people in the interest of the location here of the children'3 hom. and he will no doubt be found on the job as long as there is any Push on the lines for Willam ette. This Is der tag" for Willam ette.

"Oh,".s slghtfd' the big barrel, as It bumped along, "life's too dry to salt rme- I want some excitement'. He shifted his posi tion ' and 'knocked but a can of coffee. "Dowarthe hill It rolled, bounding from side to side. "Now, that looks like fun," thought the barrel. '"I guess I'll try that." He gave a jump and was out of the wagon, knocking a sack o sugar and a box of eggs out with him. The sack burst and the sugar flew in all directions. Little rivulets of yellow liquid trickled, out of the corners of the egg box. But the barrel did not wait to see the fun. Down the hill he rolled, faster and faster. Now the milk wagon was just coming up the hill. "Whoa, Bess, Whoa!" shouted the mjlk man, but Bess would not "whoa." Never before in her life had she seen such an animal as this bar- rel, and she was frightened. Over the roadside she floundered, ana down throiirh the ditch. Ont across the ornfieltl she tore. ( bedding a stream of clattering milk oottles all the way. "Hurrah!" shouted the barrel. "Ufe Isn't so dry, arter all. This is fun." Over stones and Into bushes he bumped and clattered along. Crash! He bumped right mto a boy on. a bicycle. The poor boy went sprawling, but the bar rel went right on. Clatter, clat ter, clatter. It rattled across the bridge. Crack Bang! ' Right against the fence it smashed. Pack it bounced, and splash! It lit right in the river. v i Then excitement truly began 'cr the barrel. Down the stream It was tossed and; whirled. First It was thrown aga'nst one bank and then 'against thi other. . This .is. almost .too-much of a ' good thing " thought. the 3ar rel.

"Wen, there's nothing dry about this, I can. tell you," re torted the barrel. Slowly the water seeped in through It's cracks. The barrel got heavier and heavier. It was harder for the river to toss it from side to side. All of it was under water now but It's head. Then it was able to hold thtat up no longer and slowly sank to the bottom. That was the end of a dry life for the barrel. 1 pirnim puzzle AfcV . WHAT 10 WORDS f tuiru Tur cam? LETTER ARE HERE PICTURED? Anrwer to yesterday t: Wonder land.' I - v.-t. 4 . u. i.

But that country will have to live up to the pledge for about a hundred years before the world will believe she has not made It with her fingers crorged. I MM IGKATIOX PROBLEMS Objection will be made to any restrictive immigration law we may have. Likewise there will be opposition to any open-door pol icy on the part of the nation. The law we have is doing fairly well and its sane and seasonable appli cation makes it adequate for the time. It is keeping out a good many from southern Europe, but thus far this year the quotas ad missible from Great Britain, France, Germany, Sweden and the northern governments of Europe are not half filled. Of oar pres ent gain in immigration there is now a preponderance of women. Possibly this is the first "time in the history of the country that this has been the fact. There is need of labor in many lines In America, yet it is shown that there are millions of idle men. The problem of fitting the man to the iob will always" be the nation's greatest task. The immigration laws will not solve it of them selves. We are still getting more of the undesirables and fewer of the desirables than is rnn) tnr us. EDUCATION WEEK IX OREGOX This is Education Week, pro claimed so by the president and so recognized by various states and institutions. Oregon, no less Interested in education than her neighbors, is employing it as an occasion for review of her educa tional progress, and as an oppor tunity to visualize a more com plete system of education for the future. It is easy to recall much of commendable advancement during recent years, and equally easy, to recognize the need for further development. Education is dynamic and must keep pace with industrial and social pro gress. In order to plan wisely for the continued growth of the educational system of the state, it is neecssary that present condi tions be thoroughly understood. . It is the desire of those Inter ested in education In Oregon to plan for the improvement of the entire educational ' system from the kindergarten to the univer sity. Naturally, in viewing the entire system, the thought is in clined to linger upon its founda tion, the elementary school. In order to plan effectively for the improvement of the public school system, it becomes immediately apparent that two features enter prominently into the development of the schools. These ere the material factors on the one hand, Including adequate equipment in buildings, school furniture, course of study and text books; and the vital factor on 'the other hand, consisting in properly trained and cultured teachers. There can be no efficient school system, no matter what the organization, without properly trained teachers. At the present time, the state of Oregon requires a limited amount of professional training for all teachers entering the profession This is one of the features of Oregon's superiority educational ly. The institution provided by the state for the training of teachers for the elementary schools, the Normal school at Monmouth, U- limited in its capacity. The de mand for trained teachers Is now outrunning the ability of the Nor mal school to prepare them, and the demand of students desiring to prepare for teaching has be come greater than the Normal school can meet. More students are applying at the .Oregon Nor mal school for admission and training than can be properly ac commodated with its present equipment. This year, the in crease in enrollment is more than fifty per cent above that of the corresponding date in 1921. Last year the total attendance was more than fifty per cent greater than for the preceding year. Thus, within two years, the attendance has more than doubled. Every thing points to a continuation of this increase. Notwithstanding the crowded conditions, practical ly the same faculty, with only one additional member, aside from critic teachers, is endeavoring to carry on the increased work. A number of classes register more than one hundred students. At least two-thirds of the classes in the Normal school are much larg er than they should be, and en tirely too large to do the work required of them. It will be im possible to meet the requirements of efficient training of teachers without increased facilities. More over, the standing of the Normal school among other similar insti tutions, as well as its standard ization with the U. S. Department of Education, is jeopardized. There is immediate need along three particular lines, not to speak of plans for future growth. These imperative needs are addi tional members of faculty, a rrew training school at Independence, and increased living facilities for students. Additional classrooms will be a requirement of the near future. Oregon Is. at the present time inadvertently neglecting her Nor mal school and allowing herself to fall far behind other states In her WF1TCESDAY MORNING. facilities for training her teach ers. By way of omparison, state not as large or as populous or as wealthy are providing consider ably more for normal school sup port than is Oregon. Idaho, with a population of only a little more than half that of Oregon, and an asss:ed valuation of less than l.alf. provides one and one-third times as much for Its normal schools. Arizona and Nw Mex ico, with less than half the popu lation and two-thirds tlfc assessed valuation, furnish three times as much each for normal schools as does Oregon. Other states are making corresponding provision for the training of teachers for their elementary schools. Color ado, with a population a little larger and an- assessed valuation one and one-half more, appropri ates four times as much for its normal schools. California, with four times the population and three times the assessed valua tion, grants over eleven times as much for its normals. It is believed that -when the people of Oregon know the imper ative need of their one institution established in the interest of the boys and girls in the primary and grammar schools of the state, they will not withhold the meagre sum necessary for the adequate support of that institution.

Governor oicou w re ported to have told the governors a?sembled at White Sulphur Springs, Virginia, that the people of this state were all tore up in the recent -election, families and communities arrayed against one another, all owing to the presence of the Ku Klux Klan, which he asserts secured the passage at the compulsory school education bill. This is news to those of us who took part in the election. The defeat of Governor Olcott seems to have gone to his head as well as his heart. That we differed as to who should be governor, as to what was best in reference to the school bill and as to other matters is true, but that hatred and strife are rankling in the hearts of the people of this state as the result of the last election Is not true. Neither ia it true that the klan was responsible for the passage of the compulsory school bill. Protestants and Catholics dif fered as to the school bill. Mem bers of the same family and of the same church differed on this as On other matters. But . that does not signify that they hated one another. Where there are free men and women there will be differences of opinion. In Oregon as in other states we are 100 per cent Americans, and we abide by the majority vote. We have forgotten that we dif U8HUD H S T s) Raut SWi SeBrrSbof fox hwpa Du&ttOil frigid fab V.k El totr BdlSaBdSoaU foAfpta "326 tSCtfcaB'8id ' V fered in the la-t election and ara working shoulder to shoulder to make this a better state.
