School Talk Papers No. 7.
Ed. Fabmkii: It la field that the property
must educate the masses, and that ptttolio
education ia publiu economy. A bilo thst is
correct, evert parent febould regularly,
jtrompttyand cheerfully send hU children
to the schools thu sujiported, and In ases
whore parents are absolutely too careless to
ana that tbelr children atlend school the low

munity should have something to say. Men
nhouki not be allowed (o keop their children
from school to grow trp In IgDornnceaml run
the chances of Increasing the already vast
number"that throng our jalis and penileii
tiarlos. I apperid some statistics prepared
by a New Yoik Committee on Ednculon.
It says: "In France trom 1607 to 18GSJ one-
half of (be Inhabitants could neither read
nor wJte, and this half furnished ninety-live
per cent of Uiose arrested, and eighty-seven
per cent of those com itted of crime In our
jsix Xevr England States, only seven per
cent of the inhabitants over ten years of ape,
can neither read nor write, and this small
minority commits eighty per cent of tbe
crime. In New York and Pennsylvania an
ignorant person commits seven tlines tho
number of crime that a person who can read
and write commits, and In the whole country
tbe proportion rises to' ten times." Then
howneeessary that tbe public schools should
recolvo our hearty support and patronage,
alnoe It is much cheaper, safer and easier to
do tbla than it Is to build extensive State
Prisons capture and try criminal and keep
them afler thny bae been convicted.
Not but that every parent has a light to
control his own children but this right must
be suhjaoi to the good of'tbe public and s
ciety. Iifery child has a rfgttt also; and this
is, that he sbnil have snob a course of educi-
tion as shall fit bim for usefulness in an en
Jlgbten6d communlly; and the right of tbe
pment is never advanced mora than wben It
brings the child lo crjoy those pri ilexes,
and means of luiprotement which this Stuto
so liberally furnished. Society alto demands
that these rights of children should not bn
encroached upon, so that In iuture Ihey may
not go ont into the battle of life to become
Inmttcs of our J ills and almshouses, hut
rather that they may take tbe position which
this inalienablo right gives them, that or
titling themselves now tor tbo great future,
for upon tbelr shoulders In coming lime are
an appn clallve publiu sentiment. Tbo
Opmlon is too prevalent among; those who
never vtait the schools, that fivo or six hours
a day In tbo school room, m ith all tho rest of
day for relaxation or amusement must in
sure to tbe teacher a delightfully eaty modo
of life. Tboy Utile know tbo thousand per
plexing cares and anxieties 'which help maka
up I ho teacher's daily experience; they little
know tbe forbearance, patisnee tsctandrklll
required to manage from forty to sixty chil
dren of different ages and dispositions, to
aay.nnthtng of efforts to instruct them; they
little think how much of the teacher's v.ork
is necessarily done outside of tho school
room. The truth is tho teacher's work is
laborious, soveroly taxing he energies of
mind and body. In these days ot progress,
the very best results are demanded of the
teachers, and it requires constant effort in
tbe way of preparation, In studying new
methods devising new plans to keep up
with tbe requirements of tho times. To be
a successful teacher now, both the pbj steal
and mental powers must contribute tbelr tit
most towards the attainment of the wished
for results. It should also boborn.e in nilud
that our dearest interests are committed to
the toaoher's hands, lor the future prosperity
of a community depends in a great measure
upon the condition of its public schools. Let
the teacher then b8 recognized as a laborious,
faithful and deserving public sorvant and
benefactor, and let this sentiment And aae
quate expression, both in words of encourag

upnn all parents that Ibo only lawful cause
which can morally excuse tbora from sand
ing tuelr children tojour schools loitulsrly
is sickness or its attendant causes': We are
decidedly in iavor of a compulsory educa

practice indulged In by many. parents, at

grca'ly diu'pated nud lost, not to
ny tbo day also, which is largely lakcti up
iu discussing, or at least mujlug upon tbe
jray evening before and the next to enme.
Wo have nu wish lo suppress innocent
amusement, or to cost a damper upon auj
ttasonahle diteislou. But wo cm not think
it, reasonable, or lit any way deslrahlx, to tax
ourselves to such an extent to piovide teach

training of our chilJren, aud then take a
course t Uich its more than half subversive
of tbe very ends we aim at. It seems like
poor ocoDOiny, a prodigious -waste of money

or teachers should people complain o much,
eo long-as they persist Iu ways that nro tbe

ols 10 tbe acre, some running e en to EObunh

Spring wbtat, owing to the extreme w.irm
w ealher Just v ben cool damp weather whs
essential to proper filling, hits become shrun

of grain will run below the siaudHrd, but it

perarre, wn cb, wtien taken in oonneo ion
wl'h tbe yield of the west Mississippi Val

10 to 15 bushels per acre, is not in Itself bad.
Indeed. Oregon has a bountiful harvest. V
Is quite sate to belle vo that at least 0110 hun

Still, for tho benefit of tboso who are inter

oatn tire not raised throughout tbe" State ot
California, ns In othT Slates; but tbelr pro
duction Is more confined to the coast coun
ties, where there Is moisture; hence failures
in tbe itst crop of California are not as Ire
qunntor as marked as are the failures of
wheat, and as oh la remain high, it Is barely
possible there may not be big money in
keeping oats My advice 10 tbe farmers ot
Oregon Is to Mil tlietr grain from tbo field
wben they can get good prtds, aa arn now
currcut. Upon ibis basis, they arn alwajs
comfortable and kuow. just what they have
to depend upon.
ItiKioiuch as II hss frxinpntlv ben stated
ol Isle that the crop ot Oit-gun for 1871i would
lau iar Deiow an average, i win ssy mat my
belief in to tbe contrary, owing chiefly to tbe
Increased acreage throughout tbe State. Tbe
outlook for Oreaon irom a purely business

hat e lost a few and sold a part on the road,
aud now have left 1,800 for the Willamette,

and hopo to onjoy your Fair as wo did Inst
year, and u 111 ho hbluto make a much bettor
exhibit. Whaebtua long but pleasant
trip thus far since we left Reddiug. Our
first 300 miles from Montery lo Reddlnp, was
nil ihroujh iaues and farms, weather very
dry and hot, it run our .gnats down poor,
tiiore at Itedding we entered the brush and
since that time our goats, have eaten little
else but brush, and fattened like they had
been In a gruntield; they 'are now in good
order and tbo brush continues bountiful on
tbo road. , t
I bave visited most of tbe flooka on tbo
way. Did not see Mr. Hergerdlnes at Ash
land but bn said ihey w'We'"flrie and hn was
stngulne of a success on JdV place; had lost a
few kids with vermlp.j I ,aw Mr. Marks'
goats near Asblaad theynwaro the fattest
goats I had seen for yeaisj, and showing n
fine fleece. Mr. Ammermapiha's a lot noar
by him but did nob go.'tib'ere, but learned
from Mr. Marks tbtttrtUeyjwere fattrr than
his and that Aniiut'rmjn raised 107 per u-nt.
of kids, counting bis. wliple band to breed.
Next I visited Mr. Man if-goats nwr Jackson

others and had saved ab'oat 130 per oout of

stood handling kills as lie now doo, be could
have savjd over 150 per cent of kids. Mr.
Sawder has near Kerby 130 head of ewes and
kids for which be gave Mr. To man 100 head
of cattle last spring, they are also looking
well. Next I came td Judgo Smith's at Rose
burg, sw oue of his wethers drowsed It w
temurkably fat, almost too lat to cat, thero
tho Railroad Hotel purcbussd it and tbo
waiters cried in tho mornlug pork steak,
beefsteak und angora chop,, and I saw it
pussed In freely and heard many compli

sod 140 per cent, of kids or about thuf. I
did not tea Mr, Master's goats, though bo
said tbey would look as well be thought as
nnyl hd s-cu. All the gnats I hao thus
far teen are running at will iu the brush
without a herder, come home at night to

Description or Iho Walla Mnlln and V:
lottsc Country, and the Imlitcnnrnts toi
Immigration.
i:n. Fahm i:r : The Wnlla Wnll.t re
gion is a large; country, otiuutod to con
tain one mlllloti ncre.s of good farming
lntiil, nnd tlie nverago jii'ld of wheat
throughout it Is placed at about forty
bushels to the acre, ninety bushels of
oats, and fifty bushels of bailey. Klnx
also grows well. It is most undoubtedly
the best vegetable country on tho coast,
and as a stock country It cHnnot bo ex
celled in tho wot Id. Cattle-raising is
curiled on upon a. large scale. The sheep
business is, however, at the present tlmo
the best in all that country. Meu who
have been engaged In blieep-ralsliig any
length of tinio occur to me who ure will
ing to be named In this connection, so I
will quote a few of those who aro suc
cessful sheop-breedorn. Mr. J. Fr.i8.er, of
Blroh Creek, Umatilla county, has 14,000
head, and is worth $40,000, and coni
meii'ced sown years ago with 1200" head.
The Adams brothers, of Wild Horso
Creek, in the saino county, have made
$00,000 in the past ten yeais ; Jerry Des
pain has in ten years made $50,000 in the
same business, and various others havo
uiailo large sums of money at it.
The available grazing area of Eastern
Washington and Oregon has more than
ten times the extent of the Mllametto
valley,, The 1'uIoubo country north ot
Shako river is one hundred miles square,
and is all live richest of soli, lit for culti
vation" anuf'tbe tops oftthe hills even
have a deep, riuli loam. This couutiy
invites thousands of families, and oilers
the greatest inducements to permanent
settlere, as it contains au amount of ara
ble land as ricli as mid more extensivo
than tho Willamette, which will be
icachcil and developed by, llio construc
tion of the Noithern Pue'llle Railroad
that now promises to bo soon built, and
will pass directly through It. The only
diatvbacl: to this interior region Is that
tho cold is sometimes'' great there in tho
winter lime, but that does not materially
detract from its value for settlement.
Tho wheat croP of tho Walla Wull.v
valley for tho piescut year is esilinuated
at a million bufclicla of excellent quality.
The towns aro all piosperihg. Walla
Walla oily has 3,000 iillinbitantu, nnd
busiiieus Is, transacted tlierd 10 til"
amount of 51,500,000 per annum. The
town of Waltsburg Is a good trailing
point. Dayton has an active business.

ty, OrCgOil, Sfo thriving points.
A realdciico of live yoaiti iu (heparin
of Eastern Oregon icferred lo enable the
writer to speak with knowledge of Its
icsnuices, aud I am convinced that be
yond all doubt it is tho best country lor
imuiigiauts or person with small means
to get a home. As a fiuit couutiy iilsn
It cannot bo surpassed.
TI10 boats of tho O. S. N. Company
will be put to their utmost to transport
tho surplus products of this upper Co
lumbia region to market tho present
year. A great deal of complaint is mndo
ol the charges cm that route, aud no
doubt freight and passage aro ordinarily
high, but to any immigrant wishing to
Inspect the country they extend half
fare rale, and heretofore tho products of
the Walla Walla valley have been trans
ported to Portland ut u rato that, consid
ering the distance and tho ditllculty of
navigating It, does not comparo unfavor
ably with the charges made iu this west
ern part of Oregon. ,.
I desire through your paper to call the
attention of new-comers with small
means to the advantages oll'ercd by tbo
region I have described in part.
