crops specialist, Oregon State
College, led a discussion on the
habits of the plant and aucces
fill control methods.
The group stopped at the Jack
tump farm, Monmouth, for
lunch following which they were
conducted on a tour. Probably

a good thrifty flock of ewes and
providing them with good pas

Mineral Springs Alumni Plan
Final Reunion at Sodaville
, By BEN MAXWELL
Alumni of Mineral Springs academy at Sodaville. last college
to be incorporated in Linn county, will hold a final reunion within
the halls of their alma mater this year.
Th old arademv building, long used as a public school, is be
ing replaced by a new school building now under construction for
inis community.
Mineral Springs academy was
initiated by Louis Barzee,
teacher in the common school of
Sodaville about 80 years ago. He
perceived the need for a secon
dary and preparatory school
Fifteen Cumberland Presbyter
ians sustained his views and
sponsored the formation of the
academy that received Its char
ter as a seminary September 29,
1892.
After a year even Barzee was
discouraged and the achool pass
ed to the Presbyterians as a sec
tarian institution in 1894. In
189S the name was changed to
Mineral Springs academy and a
collegiate course was added to
the curriculum. Although the i
school did not expand beyond
its original facilities, students
matriculated, graduated and re
ceived recognition for their
thoroughness in training. Many
children from outstanding fam
ilies in the Willamette valley
were in attendance between
1894 and 1908 when the school
appears to have ended Its career
as a private institution.
A new corporation was form
ed and a new board of trus
tees selected in 1908 for the pur
pose of encouraging additional
support. This final effort to
make the sectarian institution
sustaining ended in failure and
on December 1, 1910 the board
settled all claims and abandon
ed the organization after IS
years of effort.
Kven before this finale usage
of the building with eight elass
rooms had been acquired for
public achool usage. Last term
70 pupils were in attendance.
John Griffith was principal and
his stafr consisted of three teach
ers holding classes for the first
eight grades.
New Sodaville public school is
a modern, one-story structure
38 by 118 feet housing three
class rooms accommodating SO
to 40 pupils In each. It will be
ready for use when the fall term
opens.
