TEXT BOOK COMMISSION.
Probably one of the most im
portant and exacting duties
whioh Governor Geer will be
called upon to perform during
his term of office will be the ap
pointment of the new text book
commission next January. The
governor is very reticent regard
ing the composition ot the com
mission. In response to recent
inquiries he said :
"I have, of course no an
nouncements to make as to the
individuals to be appointed, and
shall not make known the names
of the members of the commis
sion to any person until the ap
pointment has been officially
announced. I have not yet
made up my mind wlicr.n I shall
appoint, and shali not until im
mediately before the time arrives
for action. I consider the nam
ing of this commission one of
the most important duties I have
to perform as governor of the
state, and the appointments will
nob be made until after the most
careful consideration of the re
quirements of the office and the
qualifications of the mosb avail
able citizens of the state who
consent to serve in that capacity.
"I realize that it will be a
difficult matter to perform the
duties of the commissioners in a
way that will not subject them
to some sort of public criticism,
and for that reason there may be
some difficulty in finding good
men willing to make the neces
sary sacrifice for the welfare of
therefore, I shall probably not
asifthe consent of any man be
fore appointing him a member
of the textbook commission.
"The appointees will proba
bly be men, who, from their
positions as prominent citizens,
cannot well refuse to make the
sacrifices required of the men
who may serve the public in
that capacity.
"I have had numerous appli
cations, both in person and by
letter on that commission, but I
can see no reason why anj' man
can really wish to ssnrve in that
capacity, and am not inclined
to look with favor upon the ap
plication of any man who is
anxious for suoh an appointment.
"Suggestions and recommen
dations from any person inter
ested in the welfare of our pub
lic sohools have been and will be
thankfully received and carefully
considered .
"Politics shall not have the
slightest influence in the selec
tion of tho members of the com
mission. The best men avail
able will be chosen regardless of
oartv affiliations. I believe (his
commission will be composed of
men from difterent seotions ot
tne state, ana tnis will be con-1
sidered though not as a con
trolling feature. So far as per
sonal qualities are concerned,
I am inclined to the opinion
that the majority of the commis
sioners should not be school men.
I believe this commission should
ba composed of good business
men, who also have sufficient
educatioaal qualifications to
make them good judges of text
books. They should be men in
whoso honor and integrity the
people of Oregon have the ut
most confidence and whose mo
tives will never be questioned."
We read that one ot the Ore
gon boys who served in the
Philippines will have some
thing to say at the court house
next Thursday evening relative
to the abortive attempt of Gen
eral Sammers to stampede
- rrri rm - r 'i -i - ifn i jjjMMjjBjj in j SSBBBB IBS SSBBttSBBtUBSKSSMUSt
'.'te volunteers into support or
McKinIey. It will be unneces
sary for him to say anything
about Col. Bryan's attempt to
stampede the entire American
army in the interest of Aguiual
do. Everything is familiar with
that.
Saturday'?; institute.
In spite of the prevailing storm
of the past week, the the twelfth
institute of Benton county was
held at Fairmount last Saturday.
A large delegation of teachers
went from Corvallis. Those go
ing were: Profs A S McDonald,
WJ Gilstrap, Nicholas Tartar,
Misses Lettie Wicks, Hortense
Greffoz, Edith Alderson, Ella M
Curriu, Minnie L Hodes, Anna
M Denman, Lena McConnick,
Ida Maxwell. The teachers in
the north end of the county
mostly attended. A number of
the Linn county teachers were
present. The program was as
follows: Singing, by institute;
recitation, Elodia Tharp; Divis
ion and Common Inactions, H C
Jordon; Influence of the Home
on the School, Mrs W B Shan
non; How Can the Parent Help
the Teacher, TJRisley; singing,

strap; Writing in the Primary
Grades, Ida Maxwell; Teaching
Current Events, A S McDonald;

tations of Anna McKenna, Mallie
Kelly and Elodia Tharp were
well rendered. The papers and

profitable. This was the first
local institute ever held in this
part of the count-, and the first
one in which the teachers of
Linn county and Benton county
assembled together for a day's
work and pleasure- It is the in
tention to continue these union
institutes, and the next union
meeting will be held at Oakville.
Linn county. Supt Jackson, of
Linn, and Supt Denman will ar
range the program in tne near
future.
Stole Clothes.
A. W. Hepburn, of Salem, a
young man or about eighte.n
years of arje put up at the Russ
House, and was given a room in
which was a trunk belonging to
Sam Dugger, who is now at In
dependence, says the Albany
Democrat. It is said that he pro
ceeded to break cpeu the 'trunk,
roll up fhe contents and throw
them out of the window. He
then went down and got them,
took them over to the Albany
Lunch Counter, where he had
left his bicycle, and tied them to
the machine, going back to the
hotel and going to bed. he was
seen by some of the employes of
the hotel to throw the tiings
down. They notified special
policeman, Otto Cielan, who,
with Mr. Rowell, arrested the
young man and he was placed in
the calaboose to await examina
tion before Pvecorder Van Win
kle. Hepburn was arrested here
once before on the charge of
stealing some copper from a sec
ond hand man.
Since the above statement ap
peared in the Democrat the
young man had a hearing before
Recorder Van Winkle, acting
justice, and waiving examin
ation was bound over in the
sum of $200 for his appearance
before the grand jury. His
father, of Salem, furnished the
bonds. The young man was a
Student at the O A C up to the
time that he went to Albany and
got into trouble. '
