Extra Flow of Two Million Gallons Daily Forecast; Will Tax Line Capacity. That the new spring being developed above Thorn Holnw will provide ap proximately two million gallons of extra water aily for the water system Is the belief of Frank Hays, engineer and superintendent who returned this morning, from the construction camp. The main spring has not yet been reached and the new line is already flowing 800,000 gallons dully, Mr. Hays says. The main spring will easily provide a million gallons more and when the new development is complet ed there will he sufficient cool spring water to fill the main pine line to the city to capacity. The new spring will provide more water and better water than is being secured from the Chapllsh spring or any of the other springs. After the new line Is completed It Is Mr. Hoys view that the city will have such a suf ficient water supply that no further extension will be required for four or five years. No name has yet been given to the new spring but It may be willed the North Chapllsh spring. The new ource of supply was discovered by O. M. Rice and Frank Hays while on an Inspection trip a year or two ago. The old pumping plant In use before tha gravity system was established provided but a million gallons of wstet dally for the city. The city now se cures around throe million gallons dally and with the new spring will hove a sunnlv of about five million gallons dully.

J.MCe!NTEllS Pres. of Oregon Normal School Says Teachers Must Meet Demand by Preparedness. The need for trained teachers wa stressed this morning by J. H. Acker- man, president of the Oregon Normal School, In an informal address to the students of the summer normal school which opened Its sessions here Mon day. "The demand for trained 'each is sweeping the country," Presidio. Ackerman suid. "The teacher must meet this demand by prepaili:? ne' self or himself to meet requirement. Fifteen years ago, when a census whs taken In I-ane county, it was shown that 60 percent of the teachers hud no training beyond the eighth grade. "Since that time," he c intinued, Oregon requires that teachers must have .four years of high school work and at least 12 weeks of tn.'.nlng ne- yond that." Predicts Further Requirement-.. President Ackerman predicted thot before 15 more years have passed, Oregon teachers will be required to have two years of work above high school. "Our Oregon laws," he sairt. "pro vide thot In 1925, u teacher must have a year's training beyond th. H'.k'i school. Idaho legislation renti'ies that In 1925 a teacher must haj tw.- years higher training. Portia n.l asks that a teacher have a high school di ploma, two years of accredited nor mal training um! two years of expedi ence. The Increased salary t-hodulo will follow the trained teacher, lust as a higher fee goes to the trained doctor or lawyer." Urges Karnest Effort. The earnest efforts of teachers to put themselves above the average was urged ny tne speuKcr. : "Make the most of yourselves," he said. "Be the kind of teacher that j makes your superintendent say, "That teacher Is the best employed In this county.' I heard Edwin Markham, American poet who wrote 'The Man With the Hoe," suy that he knew his poetry was good because onythins was good when the man who made It did the very best he knew ho'v with the material he had. Let It te so with your teaching." 1.. I..
