AchooU-Iituis to Teachers.
SOUTH HALE5I.
Tills school opened at tlio beginning n( tl o
school rear with a fair number of pupils,' and
has gradually increased until it nownurulxia
upwards of 8ecnt in regular attendance. Mr.
A. W. Loclart, v, lio taurlit tlio two pievlous
yiarn. still holds his ixwition as principal, as
fisted by MIsh Mary Joty, a graduate of Will
amette University. They both possess excellent
.qualities as teachers, and under tlicir manage
ment tlio scliuol is progressing linely. Among
other classes examined was ouo in practical
arithmetic, composed of pupils fllioso ages
ranged from ten to fifteen jcars and who bad
been instructed as far as decimal fractions, in-
.cliibhe. Examples wcro readily solved and the
most diflicult decimals written riith tlio great
est easo and rapidity, proviug that tho pupils
thoroughly Understood tho principles in wl.icli
they had been instructed. Splendid older is
observed in passing to and from recitations. An
.organ has beou piocuicd by the teachers, which
is of great benefit to tho school.
NOBTU HALEM.
Out of about ono hundred pupils whoso
names have been enrolled in this school, thcro
aro about ninety in regular attendance. Mi.
Uoward O. .Moni is still doing extraordinary
good work, consideiiug the number of young
minds he has to deal with. Mr. M. has that
peculiar talent for teaching ciy young pupils
,so necessary to tho good teacher, and still so
seldom found among male teachers. Miss Nel
lie Taylor, tho assistant, is a teacher of long ex
perience, and ts giving general satisfaction. It
is not necessary for us to say, that with teach
ers so vicllqualified the school is in cxeollcnt
.condition.
East SALEM.
Mr. J. T. Gregg, tlio piincipal in this depart
meut, has proven himself to bo a teacher ol no
.ordinary ability. He has a superior faculty of
impaiting iustruction to others and of maintain
ing good older in tlio school loom. Mr. G. was
chosen by the Board of directors at tho begin
ning of tlio present year, City School Superin
tendent and wo know of no ono who has moie
faithfully performed his duty. His endeavors
are, toraiso thostandaid of public schools of
Salem and place them on a footing equal to tho
schools of other places with tho same facilities.
Tho school numbers tltty-oigut in actual attend
ance. MISS CLAnA WATT
Haschargo of tho lower department in this
building. An hour, was spent very piofitably
.and pleasantly in hearing Miss V. taking her
classes over a review of what they had prc iously
studied. Tho pupils usually answered prompt
ly and correctly which suggested thoroughness
.to bo the principal object of tho teacher. Wi it
ten answers to an examination in arithmetic
were very neatly and correctly executed. Eighty
pupils aro in regular attendance in this depart
ment, making the government exceedingly la
borious for ono teacher. There are twenty-one
rclasses to be lioaul dally, nine of which is heard
by Miss Raymond, tho assistant for both the
upper and lowor rooms, leaving twelve to bo
heard by Miss Watt, this only gives about
twenty minute to each class. How much
could be accomplished in a reading class of 30
pupils in that time? The classes in both the
upper and lower rooms roquiro a longer time
for recitation than is required in tho primaiy
schools, iu order that tho pupil may have the
full benefit of instruction. One assistant is
provided for both rooms, which is of great ben-
efit; but still thero is too much left for the
teachers to accomplish especially in the lower
room. Wo believo that money could be no
better expended than to employ an assistant for
.each room, and introduce tho elements of alge
bra aud boolc-keepliig in the upper room, and
still more than this if necessary.
CENTlliL SALEM.
Tho higher 2opartment of this place is being
taught by Mrs. Adair, lato of Ohio, where she
bad previously taught for a number of years.
Mrs. A. has introduced many new methods of
instructing and governing. It is just as necces
sary for tho good teacher to be inventing now
plans of hearing recitations as it is for the car
penter to replaco his old tools with new ones.
A successful teacher must have a full share of
individuality. His plans and his methods must
be bis own, aud his success must bo in the path
of of hi sown peculiarities. Let him pass out
of this and lis becomes au imitator, and is in
danger of becoming a failure. Tho methods
aud analyses of yesterday will not answer for
to-day, for new discoveries have developed new
systems of combination, and the constaut devel
opment of the mind brings to light now'meth
oils of presentation, and the teacher who cannot
or will not keep paco with the spirit of the times
must stay in tho ruts and fossilize. Mrs, Adair
is certainly doing good work in this respect aud
U succeeding admirably with her school.
MBS. NELLIE CURL,
Teaches in tho lower room and has under her
control upwards of fifty pupils. Mrs. C. is earn
estly engaged in her work aud eru to be zeal
ously devoted to the advancement of her pupils.
We notice a vory groat improvement since our
last visit, and think it will now compare favor
ably with those of other grades. We believe
tardinew ii less froquent in all the schools, and
a more regular attendance is noticeable this
year than there was last, and we believe the
schools are in better condition in many respects.
The one great need is a large building where all
may assemble in their different departments, in.
tttcadof having to separatp at home to go to dif
ferent parts of tho city, there to remain all day
coojed upiiiasinall room filled to its utmost
capacity.

CORRESPONDENCE.
Campo Skco, Cal. Nov., 0. 1875.
Editor FARMErf As a few lines written
by an Oregonlan describing his trip to this
place may be of sorun interest to the farmers
of Oregon I will guild you a Bkelch of my
journey. On the 27th of last month Messrs.
L. C. Mr.ssny, John Skeon, L. J. Lemons
and myself started on the morning train
from Brook's Station, In Marlon county, for
Portland, whero we were Joined by Mr,
Cciffeo of Fairfield. We loa Portland Hint
afternoon on the steamer Ajx, and though
the evening was hazy and mining, nearly all
the passengers remained on deck as we
steamed down the river to watch the beauti
ful ccencry of the grand old Columbia.
Among the passengers I was pleased to
fl ud my old Irlend and yourfellow townsman,
Win. England and hit wife. As we passed
down the river wo met the Qusttte Telfair
from Sitka. She reported the bar very
rough. At nine o'clock we anchored in the
middle of the rlvur as the night was so dark
and foggy that it was dangerous to proceed.
At six in the morning we resumed the our
noy and we arrived at Astoria soon after
nine, where we took on a large lot of canned
salmon, eud at eleven o'clock swung away
from the wharf with handkerchiefs waving
aftor us, and the cries of, "Good bye, John!"
"Good bye, Sam I" "Good bye, Charley!"
Somo one on board called back, "Good bye,
Captain!" and I think about 437 voices on
shore answered back to that title.
As we passed the fort, we saw so voral ves
sels waiting to be towed out to sea. As wo
passed the bar, the waves began to toss the
ship like a leaf, but most every body was on
deck to witness our passage over the bar and
see the "sallohuck," which many had never
beheld before. The ship began to plunge
wildly; at one moment she seemed trying to
harpoon a shark and the next the bowsprit
was aiming at tho sun. One by one the
passengers began to have a hankering to go
to bed, and disappeared, and looking across
the deck I saw our friend Wm. England
with his bead stuck over the side of the ship
calling out "New York" with a vengeance.
When we reached the first buoy on the
bar, it became so rough that the Captain
deemed it best to return to Astoria, which
was done, but before we arrived the gong
rang for dinner, but they did not rush pell
mell to the table as they did at breakfast
time "not by a considerable."
The next morning was the Sabbath, and at
ten o'clock we started for the bar again just
as the bells were calling the townspeople to
church. The solemn thought entered my
mind: "What if those bells are tolling our
knell." Solemn thought, indeed.
The bar was etill rough, but we crossed
without accident' though every body soon
got sea sick and hid away In their bunks.
The next day was pleasant, and they began
to crawl out on deck again. Tuesday night,
at half past one, we entered the Golden Gate.
We could see the streets of San Francisco lit
up by gas light, running for miles north and
south, east ahd west. It was grand to behold.
As morning broke, a fog hung over the city
and prevented a good daylight view. The
noise the hotel-runners made when the ship
landed, was as if all tho inmates of Pande
moniumn were let loose upon us, but we
managed to reach tne American Exchange.
Here my old friends left me to take the cars
overland for the east, and I felt lonesome
enough lef. by myself in a strange city, bat
I had learned that I had an old school mate
living in some part of the city, and I con
cluded to find him, if possible, and, strange
enough ! the very first person I enquired of
happened to be the very man himself. That
was a incidence that was wonderful in
deed, A. M. Lai-oli.ett.
To be continued next week.
Shall Immigrants have Land?
Jewkrsox, Nov. 15, IS75.
Ed. Fakmkh: .Looking at the present con
dition of our State, especially at the Willam
ette Valley, which is alt taken up in farms
ot 100 to one 1,000 acres each, and some even
much larger, I would ask if It Is advisable
for people to hold on to those large farms
when emigration is so great from the East.
Many are coming here with means to buy
small farms or make a payment on a place.
Would it not be better for Oregon farmers to
sell a portion of their land to let these new
comers establish themselves in our midst?
This valley has the capacity to support one
million of people, It the large farms could
be divided up to give them room. Such a
population would soon build up a great sys
tem of commerce aud manufactured in our
midst aud would make Oregon a great Slate;
would lead us to a more thorough system of
farming, build up schools, and add to all our
social advantages.
Men holding on to a thousand acres of
land they don't know what to do with, re
minds me of the man who got a bear by the
tall and didn't know what to do with him,

HOPETON OATS.
SOME OP THR RCSONS WHY EVERY PAR
mer should procure seed of these valuable Oits;
1st. They will ripen at least two weeks earlier than
side oats. 3d. They aro very thrifty, and grow so fust,
that they choke down tilth to a grunt extent; and, as
they wow very tall, are ctlly cut abovo fern, on tho
worst of fern land. 3d. Thoy wclirh fifty pounds to
tho bushel, struck measure. 4th. They all nil, plump,
no blank oats, and are worth far more Tor feed or for
making oatmeal thai, any other oats. 5th They can
he sown on land that Is seo'ud with wlldoata, and
will be ready to head beforo the wild oats will ripen,
thereby irlving a good crop of oats and at tho same
tlmo cleanse the land I tuvo raised these oata threo
years, and know what I state to be true. They haye
taken the sweepstakes premium over all other oata,
the last two years at the Oregon State Fair, which
any one can see by referring to the premium Hat.
They are a beautiful white grain, and were imported
from Canada by the Department at Washington. I
now offer these valuable oats to Farmers for seed only
at the following rates : Twi bushels or over, f J. 60 per
bushel ; anything less, ten cents per pouud. Any
ono wishing to purchu two bushels or more will le
celvea sam.lo by seudn.2 two three-cent stamps to
J. II. HOOBINH,
Bethel, Polk co Oregon.
Last soring I sowed some of tho Hopeton Oata on
fern land, and they grew tall enough to cut above tho
fern and make good sheaves. I sowed some aide oata
at the same time, the land the same kind, wit tho
same treatment, Tbe Hopeton Oata yielded one
third more to tbe acre than the side oats, and of muchv
better quality. And, better than all, the Hopeton.
oata were ripe two weeks before tho side oata.
