A DEFENSE OF THE NORMAL SCHOOLS
The Weston Leader prints the fol
lowing able and comprehensive review
of the Normal school question, which
the East Oregonian cheerfully In
dorses and helps to widely scatter
among the people of Oregon:
The Leader confesses that at times
it grows angry over the Normal school
situation In Oregon, and In Its anger
it recently said that Yamhill county
fanatics could not abolish the public
and high schools at Weston, "although
the Normal's empty buildings, once
crowded with students from every
part of Oregon, stand as monuments
to their meddlesome cussedness." To
this the McMlnnville Telephone-Register
gave unswer:
"Nay. nay. brother. They stand
rather as monuments to the spirit of
accursed graft that has hitherto be
fouled the fair name of Oregon's edu
cational system. They stand as mon
uments to the selfish greed of a few
towns that sought to live from the
public teat. They stand as monu
ments to the shameful Indolence of
people who sought to evade the cost of
educating their own children. They
stand as monuments to the 'meddle
some cussedness' of unprincipled po
litical tricksters, .who exchanged sup
port of the most nefarious schemes
of legislation for support of local high
schools that masquerade as 'Normals.'
And now they stand as monuments to
the righteous Indignation of a people
'who their duties know, but know
their rights, and dare maintain,' and
who will no longer submit to whole
sale robbery that a few villages may
live on the spoils. But In the future
the people of Weston will revere these
emntv buildings, ror ineir emptiness,
according to the excerpt given, has
resulted In the upbuilding or a floor
ishlng public and high school, sup
ported by their own Industry and of
which they have cause to feel proud."
The above Is a fair sample of the
argument made for years against Ore
gon Normal schools, and which at last
has resulted In the referendum cru
sade which seeks tq cut them off sum
marily, without payln ; their obliga
tions lawfully incurred. In the case
of the eastern Oregon Normal at
Weston, whose regents decided to
"stand from under" the expected ava
lanche of anti-normal votes next June,
despite a subscription of over $8000
raised at Weston, the crusade was
successful. The other three schools
are running on private funds, hoping
for legislative reimbursement.
The Telephone-Register's artlclo
was reprinted by the Newberg Graph
ic and the Oregonian and given wide
circulation. Believing that there has
been too much Intemperate language
on both sides of this Important ques
tion, the Leader desires to reply to It
as dispassionately as may be, with sta
tistics taken from Volume 1 of the
Annual Report of the Commissioner of
Education for 1903, issued by the In
terior department
The Normal school system Is firm
ly established in the United States. In
no other state but Oregon are the
Normals regarded as "Iniquitous
grafts" and "local high schools." The
course of study differs radically from
the regular high school course, and
their function Is wholly to train teach
ers. In the language of the report, "In
most states the Normal school system
Is an Integral part of the common
school system."
The first Normal school was estab
lished In Pennsylvania In 1749. No
less a personage than Benjamin
Franklin advocated lis foundation In
an address before tho common coun
cil of Philadelphia. He said that as
the country was suffering greatly for
want of competent schoolmasters, the
proposed school would be able to fur
nish a supply of such ns are "of good
morals and known character." and
can "teach children reading, writing,
arithmetic and the grammar of their
mother tongue."
It will be seen that the Normal
school Ideal was far better understood
by Benjamin Franklin then than it Is
In Oregon today by many people who
applaud such expressions as "Iniquit
ous grafts" with no knowledge of the
Oregon Normals, their work, history
or purpose. This Idea has grown until
there are now 178 public Normal
schools In the United States support
ed by state money, besides muny pri
vate Normals. They are distributed
as follows:
Alabama, 6; Arizona, 2; California,
6; Colorado, 1; Connecticut, 4; Dis
trict of Columbia, 2; Florida, 2; Geor
gia, G; Idaho, 2; Illinois, 5; Indiana,
2; Iowa, 2; Kansas, 2; Kentucky, 2;
Louisiana, 2; Maine, 5; Maryland, 1;
Massachusetts, 11; Michigan, 4; Min
nesota, 6; Mississippi, 4; IMssourl, 8;
Montana, 1 ; Nebraska, I ; New Hamp
shire, 1; New Jersey, 4; New Mexico,
2; New York, 19; North Carolina, 6;
North Dakota, 2; Ohio, 5; Oklahoma,
3; Oregon, 4; Pennsylvania, 16; Rhode
Island, 1; South Carolina. 1; South
Dakota, 8; Texas, 4; Tennessee, 1;
Utah, 2; Vermont, 3; Virginia, 3; Wis
consin, 9; Washington, 3: West Vir
ginia, 7.
Many of these schools are located
In the smaller towns, which far out
number the cities In the list given In
the report. It will be seen that Ore
gon with her four schools has no more
than the average. These four schools
were given by tho last legislature less
than one-half the sum that Washing
ton's three received; and In propor
tion to population Idaho is much
more liberal to its two Normal schools
than Oregon, besides supporting an
academy at Pocatelln.
In California the five Normals ask
for what they want and get It without
question from the legislature. Wash
ington expends far more than Oregon
for general educational purposes,
which is perhaps the reason that there
has been such an exodus of Oregon
students to Washington. In 1902-03
It paid 81.419.814 for sites, buildings,
furniture, libraries and apparatus, as
against 1227,071 In Oregon.
In the same period the total expen
ditures for education in all branches
were: Washington. $2,580,742; Ore
gon, 81,526,366. In preceding years
since 1880 Washington has also far
outclassed this state. Ninety per cent
of the public school teachers in Spo
kane have had Normal training.
In 1902 Washington had 69 Normal
graduates. Oregon 45 and Idaho 28.
In 1890 Oregon had 34 Normal grad
uates and tho other state mentioned
none. The Weston Normal has grad
uated 136 trained teachers since 1899,
as shown by Its catalog, and the Mon
mouth school has considerably excell
ed this number. Tho Leader has no
statistics available, but does not think
these graduates have cost any ton
much "per head" ns compared lth
other states.
As for sucking "the public teat"
Weston at least hus paid for some of
Its milk. It at one time gave the state
a brick building; at another, 10 acres
of ground almost in the heart of town.
It granted free water to house build
ers for the sole purpose of aiding the
school, the desire being to stimulate
the building of cottages for rent, In
order that people who came hero for
school purposes might have homes at
moderate cost. Many of theso cot
tages are now cmply and cannot be
sold at two-t,hlrds their value. Rely
ing upon the good faith of the state,
builders have suffered for their enterprise..
Supplies for the school were bought
at the lowest possible price; teachers
were paid ridiculously low wages; stu
dents who cume from abroad outnum
bered local students In the ratio of
three to onp, and were cheaply fed
and lodged at the dormitories; nobody
"grafted" or tried to "graft" a cent
from the state. Instend, our people
were loyal and generous. The asser
tion that the "vlllnge" of Weston has
been a party to "wholesale robbery"
and has "lived on the spoils" Is a
wanton and gratultlous Insult; a He
foul and damnable; a slander un
speakably vile.

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR CATARRH.
Jus Breathe Ilyomrt Four Tlmefl a
Day and Be Cured.
If a few years ago someone had
said you can cure catarrh by breath
ing air charged with a healing bal
sam, the Idea would have been ridi
culed, and It remained for that emi
nent Investigator, R. T. Booth, to dis
cover In Hyomel this method of cure.
illyomol hns performed almost mir
aculous cures of catarrh, and Is to
day recognized by leading members
of the medical nrofesnlon n th
advertised remedy that can be relied
upon to do Just what It claims. The
complete outfit of Hyomel costs $1,
and consists of an inhaler, a medicine
dropper, and a bottle of Hyomel.
Breathe Hyomel through the la
haler for a few minutes four times a
day, and It will cure the worst case
of catarrh. It soothes and heals the
mucous membrane of the air pas
sages, prevents Irritation and effects
a complete and last cure.
In Pendleton there are scores of
well known people who have been
cured of catarrh by Hyomel. If it
does not cure you, Tallman ft Oe.
will return the money you pay for
Hyomel. This Is the strongest evi
dence that can be offered as to their
faith In the remedy. ,
