The work of the Bandon public
school which will be exhibited at the
Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Expos ition
was on display for the inspectioi of
the public last Monday afternoon
and throngs of people were coming
and going all the time investigating
the many excellent pieces.
The expressions of word and ac
tion of the visitors showed that they
were wonderfully surprised and
highly pleased with the work of
the school, and well might they be,
for it was something to be proud of.
From the primary grade to the
graduating class and all the grades
between, the work was excellent and
even marvelous. It is doubtful if
any school in the United States
will have work on exhibit that will
surpass that of the Bandon school.
The arrangement of the work is
excellent, the papers are clean,
the penmanship is fine and the
drawings are suberb, in lact every
part of it is to be highly commend
ed, and too much cannot be said in
praise of both teachers and pupils
for the energy and consistency that
are in evidence with, regard to the
work done.
Bandon school has an excellent
corps of teachers, all of whom are
working in harmony for the best
interests of the school. This ex
cellent work on the part of the
teachers cannot help but inspire ac
tion in the pupils, and as a con
sequence the years work has been a
success in every particular.
Bandon parent! may well feel
proud of the work their children
have done for the exposition and
this work will go a long way
toward advertising the greatness of
Bandon and may be ’the means of
inducing many settlers to come
this way, tor one of the first things
people look for when they are
figuring on the establishment of a
home, is the kind of school advan
tages they will have.
"Leslie’s Weekly" publishes in
its latest number a picture showing

trip across the Atlantic. Foremost
among the good things displayed
are nqmerous boxes of Hood River
apples, and fortunately for Hood
River and .Oregon the boxes are
so placed that the 'labels are easily
read in the picture.
Bascom B. Glarke, Editor of the
"American Thresherman’’, the lead
ing paper of its kind in • the United
States; Lee Hardin, of Indianapolis,
Indiana, representing one of the
largest of the American manufac
turers: and Morris O. Eldredge of
the United States Department of
Agriculture, unite in the statement
that the Oregon Threshermen held
the the most successful convention
of its kind ever gathered together
in this country, and that the enter
tainment at Portland was superior to
that ever given in any other city.
These gentlemen were invited out to
show Oregon how—they them
selves were shown. All agree in
giving chief credit for this success
to Secretary Philip S. Bates of the
Oregon Threshermen.
