Resolutions Adopted.
The following resolutions were pre
sented by the committee and adopted
by the eastern division of the Oregon
State Teachers association ln conven
tion: Whereas, It has been customary
from time Immemorial to voice our
appreciation of the good there Is In
human life, and,
Whereas, As an association we have
come among people who have done
and acted in a manner that can be
noticed with a feeling of pride upon
the part of each individual member
of the association,
Therefore, Be it resolved that we
thank the people of Pendleton, the
church organizations and the com
mercial club In particular, as well as
the teachers, those taking part ln the
program and Superintendents J. S.
Landers and F. K. Welles.
Progress Is Noted.
Resolved, That we feel a pride in
our own growth and strength as we
have viewed our progress from year
to year and hereby urge the necessity
of every teacher attending each an
nual session.
Feeling that teachers are cognizant
of the normal school as an indispen
sable factor in the training of our
teachers and that eastern Oregon
needs one at once. We submit the
following recommendation:
1 Resolved, That the bill providing
for the maintenance of the eastern
' Oregon state normal school be en
' dorsed by the teachers of the Oregon
.' teachers association as their stand-

effective and raise the standard of
the rural schools to its proper height.
Resolved, That It Is the sense of this
body, composed largely of teachers
of Baker, Union, and Umatilla coun
ties that we hold our next annual

ICtustcrn Division Appoints Committee
to Confer With Western Division ln
' Investigation Prof. Ressler "Ex
plains Iiuliidtrlal Education.
V -
One of the most important features
of the Joint sessions of the Inland
Empire Teachers' association and the
eastern division of the Oregon State
Teachers' association was taken yes
terday afternoon when the latter or
ganization' ordered the appointment'
of a committee of five to act with a
similar committee from tho western
division to investigate the question
of industrial education. Professor E.
D. Ressler. of the Oregon State Ag
ricultural college, was present and
explained the purpose of the Investi
gation as proposed in the meeting of
the western division, held at Albany
last June.
This joint committee will collect
information from the eastern states
in regard to the extent of industrial
education, courses of study, instruc
tion and supervision. A similar study
will be made of the present status in
Oregon where a number of schools
have introduced courses ln element
ary agriculture, wood working, cook
ery and sewing.
The department of industrial peda
gogy, established at the O. A. C. last
fall, has undertaken the preparation
of teachers in each of these subjects.
Courses are being outlined for the
public schools and lists of the appa
ratus and equipment required, with
prices, are also being made out. This
will be published for free distribution
as a guide to boards of education and
superintendents, who are considering
the Introduction of Industrial train
ing into their schools.
Pendleton a Pioneer.
Professor Ressles is the head of this
department and has been in attend
ance at the Pendleton meeting for the
purpose of securing "the co-operation
of the association in this important
investigation. He 'reports an active
interest on the part of eastern Ore
gon educators and a number of school
districts already arranging with the
O. A. C. for instructors. Superintend
ent Churchill of Baker City, has had
courses in domestic art and wood
working in successful operation for
several years and Superintendent Lan
ders had planned the Introduction of
a complete high school course in ag
riculture in February, but was obliged
to defer It until next fall because of
Inability to secure a qualified Instruc
tor. Pendleton will be the pioneer In
Oregon schools in this particular.
The demand for teachers in the in
dustrial subjects is so great that the
Oregon Agricultural College will con
duct a seven weeks' course this sum
mer in agriculture, mechanic arts and
household economy. The dates will
be June 20 to August 5 and are de
tailed information may be had by ad
dressing the college at Corvallls. Un
der the extraordinary conditions, it
will be possible for teachers of some
experience, who have some natural
aptitude for the subject or some prac
tical knowledge, to secure sufficient
training In this summer session to In
augurate an elementary course In the
public school and carry it successfully
through the first year.
The college will lay out the course
in detail, make frequent Inspection
of the work and assist by correspond
ence those who are able to secure only
this preliminary training. Any who
are interested would do well to get In
to correspondence with the O. A. C.
Special teaching, like any other spec
ialized work, commands higher wages
and tins line of industrial education
offers a most inyitlng field to the am
bitious teacher, who is willing to
make- the preparation.
TEACHERS ENDORSE
THE NORMAL SCHOOLS
MOTH ASSOCIATIONS DEPLORE
PRESENT STATUS IN OREGON
Inland Empire Teachers' Ass'n and
Eastern Division Oregon State
Teachers' Association Pass Resolu
tions Favoring Normal Schools in
State and Pledging Support.
Unqualified endorsement of the
normal school system for the training
of teachers and expressed regret at
the present status of the normal
schools in Oregon, is contained ln res
olutions adopted yesterday afternoon
liv hnth tha onotorn Hlvinlnn nf thA !
Oregon State Teachers' association
and by the Inland Empire Teachers'
association in convention assembled.
A meeting of graduates of the Ore
gon state normal schools was called
for 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Nearly BO reported and Investigation
showed that 25 to 30 others were in
attendance at the convention. Ex
planation was made of the plan of
the alumni of the Weston and Mon
mouth schools to initiate bills for the
maintenance of their respective Insti
tutions. It was shown that each of
these bills could be voted on without
prejudice to ' either. In other words,
any mistaken friend of either school
cannot help his own school by voting
against the other, nor will his affir
mative vote for the other school mili
tate against his own. Each bill
stands or falls on the result of Its
own vote; if it has more affirmative
than negative votes, it carries. It Is
not a case of the one winning which
receives the greater vote. One may
win with a total of fifty thousand
votes and another with twenty thou
sand, provided only that Its affirma
tive vote is greater than its negative
vote.
Strong resolutions were passed In
both the eastern division of the Ore
gon State Teachers' association and
in the Inland Empire association. The
general purport of the resolutions was
the endorsement of the principle of
state training of teachers: of great re
gret at the present status In Oregon:
and of strong sympathy with the ef
forts of the friends of normal train
ing to re-establish on a dignified and
permanent basis a system of state
training of teachers in Oregon.

Aung of Train Outlined.
With reference to the general pur
pose of the demonstration train cam
paign the following statement was is
sued from the office of R. B. Miller,
traffic manager of the Harriman lines
in Oregon, who conceived the plan:
What we are trying to accomplish
in the grain districts particularly Is
this:
The growing of profitable crops on
about 1,000,000 acres of land tribu
tary to the lines of the O. R. & N.
company, which under the present
system of summer fallow lie Idle each
year.
The conservation of moisture and
replenishing of the soil with organic
matter, which will assist In maturng
larger wheat crops than are now
frown.
Establishing such physical condi
tions as will prevent exhaustion of the
land in future years.
Increasing the population and add
ing to the wealth of the country by
cutting up Into smaller tract of the
very large individual holdings of land.
Providing a means toward lessening
the disastrous effects which a failure
of the wheat crop would bring about.
The wheat farms ln eastern Oregon
and Washington are already large,
and the tendency la to enlarge them
further. The result Is that the pop
ulation ln the country districts is not
Increasing as It should. We believe
that these conditions can be over
come through continuous occupation
of the soil by a rotaUng system of
cropping and abandonment of the al
ternating summer fallow, In districts
where the precipitation is sufficiently
great as to make the latter unneces
sary. In the drier localities there 1
also opportunity for improvement by
advanced cultural methods.
