Serious Question of Scarcity of Teach
ers Taken Up Must Pay Better
Wages Special Training Needed.
Superintendent of Public Instruc
tion J H. Ackerman, has completed
his report to the coming session of the
legislature. The copy of the report
Is now In the hands or the printer ana
some Important and Interesting rec
ommendations are made In It.
Supt Ackerman Introduces his re
port with the following encouraging
statement-
"The best educational thought of'
the common school teachers of today. 1
is given to the question of how to
improve the rural schools. Education
al methods and practices have made
great advancement during the past
25 years; but there is no disguising
the fact that the advancement in the
rural schools has not kept pace with
that of the village and city schools.
City schools are in the hands of the
beat educational talent than can be
secured. This Is effected by the pay
ment of liberal salaries to teachers,
by supplying the best buildings that
brains and money can produce, and
by holding out the Inducement of at
tractive surroundings to the teacher.
"These conditions can be materially,
Improved by more effectual supervls-
ion, by securing better teachers: by i
furnishing school boards with ample!
funds with which to pay better salar-i
les, and by closing one or more small !
schools and uniting the revenues of
the districts In which they are located
Into one central school to which thej
children would be transported at thei
expense of the consolidated districts.
To Increase Salaries. i
'"More effective supervision can be!
secured in many counties by placing!
the county superintendent on a salary,
that will justify him in devoting the
whole of his time to the duties of his 1
office. He should receive a salary
somewhat larger than that of the best
paying public school position in his j
county. This will tend to bring to the j
county sueprlntendent's office the best
teaching ability in the county, and,
surely, he who is to supervise all the ,
schools of his county, should be no !
les than the peer of any tearher in'
the county; and such a one. as a rule. .
cannot be secured at a rpduced sal-1
ary.
Special Training for Teachers.
"Better teachers can be secured if.
school boards would insist that the!
teachers they employ shall be espe- j
daily trained for their work; and one I
of the most hopeful signs for the bet-,
terment of the rural schools, is that
school boards are more and more (
coming to realize the Importance of
such training and are employing only
trained teachers. This is as It should
be and the time will soon be when
no board will think of employing an
untrained teacher neither will a
teachor presume to teach who has not
been trained for her work.
Scarcity of Teachers.
"There is a scarcity of rural stbool
teachers. This has been brought
nbout largely, by the small salaries
tJild for teaching In rural schools.
Many of our best teachers cannot af
ford to teach for the compensation of
fered; hence, seek and And employ
ment in more lucrative vocations. Of
course, teachers should place teaching
on a higher plane than a mere pecu
niary one. but. after all. say what we
will "we are alt more or less Influenced
bv monetary considerations. Many
school boards would willingly pay
more If they had the means, hut with
the tax levy and other sources of
school funds as they are and It being
quite miposslble to secure a special
tax levy, school officers must, per
force, conduct the school affairs of
their districts with the funds received
from the five mill county tax nnd the
Interest from the Irreducible school
fuud. In view of these conditions. I
would respectfully suggest that your
honorable body pass such enactments
as wil provide rural schools with am
t.le funds.
Prompt Payment.
Pendleton. December 17. 1902. It
affords me great pleasure In announc
ing to the public of the prompt pay
ment of my deceased husband"s
(Daniel Waters) death claim by the
Order of Washington, which had as
sumed the responsibility of paying
his Pioneer policy. I have this day re
ceived J950.no. as stipulated in said
policy. I hereby avail myself of the
opportunity of extending to the su
preme officers of the Order of Wash
iugton. my heartfelt gratitude for
their promptness and kindness shown
me. Wishing the Order of Washing
ton prosperltv and success.

RADER'S HOLIDAY EXHIBIT.
One of the Most Extensive and Beau
tiful Collections in Eastern Oregon
Four Carloads of New Goods Un
loaded Taste and Skill Exhibited
In the Selection of Goods for Hol
iday Trade.
The Rader furniture store has
leached the climax in this season's
display of holiday goods. This pro
gressive business house has this sea
son overshadowed any display of new
goods ever made In Eastern Oregon,
and the large double store Is a scene
of beauty, and is so artistically ar
ranged that It is a pleasure for peo
ple to pass through the aisles and se
lect what they desire. Four large
cars of new Ideas In furniture have
been received within the past two
months and all are now being exhibit
ed. Mr Rader says that he has never
experienced a season when selling
wns as ens and accounts for this by
the fart that alt hlgn-grade patterns
of furniture are In his stock He says
that he was very fortunate in his pur
chases this year and Is in a Position
to sell goods at remarkably Io
prices, as ne uuupiu -""

Prince Jonah Kunis Knlnuule, who
represents Hawaii in the next house
of representatives, is the first royal
person to enter the congress of the
United States. Already there Is much
speculation ns to how he will be ad
dressed. He Is called at home "Prince
Cupid." Those who wish to avoid
such familiarity designate him ns
Prince Kunio. which Is correct. Some
may insist on "Mr. Kalaulauolo," but
the name is too long and so intricate
in vowels that It is feared few who
are not acquainted with the Knnaka
language will care to try it
