AN HINDU REVIEW.
ISuggestions on Life in India by
M. C. Sinha.
THIRD PAPER.
Another reason why a national
university should encourage the
use of a national medium of in
struction is that it may help to
build up the languages of the
country, enrfch our literature and
heighten a sense of self-help and
self-esteem.
Thus, economy of time, econ
omy of labor, facilities in the
wav of popularizing knowledge,
and a promise of the enrichment
of national literature, all point
toward the adoption of Bengali as
a medium of instruction in a na
tional university. But when I
advocate the use of Bengali as a
medium of a national university
let no one understand that I want
to eschew English entirely. That
would be a sad mistake. In fact,
English is more or less at pres
ent an inter-provincial medium
of language and so long as other
provinces do not awaken to the
neressitv of havine a national
language to eliminate English
from the national curriculum will
be to cut off our young men from
foreign as well i s inter-provincial
communication.
It is, therefore, desirable to
encourage the student to master
English, or any other foreign
language, as much as possible,
and it may be even necessary to
employ largely and liberally for-
amination with credit and show
aptitude for business are enti
tled to offer themselves as candi
dates for a stipend which permits
them to remain three years in
some foreign country for the
purpose of studying economic
conditions and acquiring a prac
lical knowledge of business.
The courses of commerce ought
to include foreign languages,
bookkeeping, commercial law,
history of commerce, commercial
geography, banking, exchange,
mail, railroad traffic, and visits
to factories.
Under the auspices of the na
tional university should be or
ganized special schools for arch
itects, machinists, electricians,
dyers and Weavers. How much
these special schools are needed
can be seen from, the fact that
there are in every civilized coun
try special schools even for bar
bers, tin-smiths, printers, book
binders, decorators, druggists,
butchers, waiters, turners, fire
men, wood carvers, confection
aires, painters, varnishers, musi
cians, millers, bead makers,
dress trimmers, paper hangers,
watch makers, hawkers, etc., and
the same course in arithmetic,
industrial drawing. physics,
bookkeeping, geometry, sketch
ing, mechanics, modelling,
chemistry, correspondence and
language is taught to every one
of them. For models in techni
cal and industrial schools our
university should go to Germany
and America never to England
which itself looks to Germany
for lessons. Not long ago Iord

words we use we should bear in
mind that an orator or speaker
should always accomodate him
self and his words to the people
whom he is addressing and should
alwavs aim at simplicity and et-
fectiveness rather than ink-horn
phrases and pompous words
sity. Without actual examina

of writing and sueeest'on can

J. D. Wilcox of Portland, one of the
owners of a large oyster bed at Yaquina
Bay, was in the cit yesterday afternoon
on his way home from the bay, where he
had inspected his property and made
preliminary arrangements for the
planting of several carloads of oysters to
be received from the east in the early
spring. He reports the two carloadB
planted laBt year as doing nicely, and
looks for a fine business from his ven
ture in the couree of a lew years. The
only danger to the oysters now in the
beds is from high water, and while this
danger might develop, the owner of the
oyster beds do ot anticipate any trouble
from that source this year,
Some time in April Mr. Wiicox ex
pects several carloads more young oys
ters to be planted on his Yaquina bay
beds. The oysters have been ordered
and will be brought out before the hot
weather of spring interferes with their
shipment across the continent. The
oysters come in barrels, about 12,000
young oysters being packed in a barrel,
on old shells, on which they have matur
ed and as in the pa-t they will be plant
ed in that condition and allowed to
come to full maturity in that shape
In speaking of the young oysters
planted at the bay last spring, Mr.
Wilcox stated yesterday that those
young oysters, which will not be ready
for the market for another two years,
ha ve done exceedingly well and ae
now of larger size than the native
oyster when the latter is fully matured,
and be thinks that' the Delaware oyster
when transplanted to the Yaquina bay
beds will be larger and finer than in its
native beds. The flavor of the eastern
oyster when brought to maturity at
Yaquina bay is also superior . to the
eastern product and almost up to the
flavor of the native oyster.
Thus far the propagation of the east
ern oyster ou the Pacific coast has not
been a complete success, owing to the
colder water found here than that in
which the oyster ia produced in the
east. Experiments have been made for
many years with a view to acclimat
icg the oyster from Delaware in coast
waters, and success, so earnestly hoped
for, has thus far been meager. Bat it
is thus far hoped that this may yet be
accomplished.
About 160 carloads of oysters are an
nually Bbipped across the continent for
consumption on the Pacific coast, and
the treizht charges on a carload are
about $900. With a saving - of these
freight charges a fine market oould be
built up if the eastern oyster could be
successfully propegated here and brought
to maturity b o as to supply the demand
for this article of consumption. But
it this cannot be accsmslished
there id still a good business awaiting
the owners of the Pacific coast oyster
beds who import the seed, plant it and
produce oysters of superior flavor here for
the home market.

direct its attention toward com
mercial education as much as anv
other. Along with the growth
of swadishi movement there has
risen a demand for home-made
goods and it is the duty of the

students in a way that will turn

are needed in Europe is apparent

To date but four petitions with
platforms have been filed . by
those who are candidates at the
coming primary election for nom
ination for office. It is note
worthy that these are all the fil
iners of republicans and all -for
the same office, county .iudge of
Benton. As a matter of com
parison and news we reprint the
various platforms in the order of
their filing, as follows:
If I am nominated and elected
I will favor liberal expenditure
for continued improvements of
roads throughout the county
economy in county affairs that
shall tend to lessen taxation, and
will devote my time wholly to the
daties of the office, and shall try
to see in the administration of its
affairs that everyone gets a
"square deal. "-E. Woodward.
Some three , weeks later the
next petition and platform was
filed: '
If elected I will personally ex
amine our county roads in the
winter time to ascertain their
needs; personally examine our
county bridges; personally ex
amine all road work when being
done by our road supervisors;
will favor liberal financial aid for
roads and bridges; liberal finan
cial support to our public schools;
equal and just distribution of
taxes upon all classes of proper
ty; an economical administration
of all county affairs; I will devote
my entire time to the office; and
said office will be found in the
court house. J. B. Irvine.
Thursday this platform was
filed at the court house:
If nominated and elected I
will, during my term of office,
devote my entire time to the
duties of the office. I will guard
the interests of the taxpayers in
the administration of county af
fairs to the best of my ability;
am prepared to draft and super
intend the construction of all
bridges in the county without
any additional expense to the
taxpayers thereof. My office
will be in the court house where
I will be found when not other
wise officially engaged. A. J.
Williams.
The next day after the tilmgJ
of A. J. William's, the following
platform was filed with the peti-
ion of another candidate:
If I am nominated and elected
will during my term of office
devote my entire time and more
to the duties of said office; give
a personal supervision over every
school and road district m the
ponntv: draw the plans and do
the building of all - bridges with
out additional expense to the tax
navers: contribute from my
salary a sufficient amount to pro
vide for the maintenance of the
county poor; will expert the ac
counts and keep a perpetua
watch over all other county offi
cers; uphold the primaries and
enforce the local option law, and
administer the affairs of the
county to the best of my ability
and to the interests of the tax
payer. Joseph Albers.

One of the county fruit inspec
fnrc in Orepon has issued some
suggestions to tree growers
for their benefit for caring for
their trees. A few of them are
as follows: .
"Cherry trees should be spray
ed once a year for San Jose scale;
apples once for San Jose scale
and two or three times forcodling
moth.
"The salt, lime and sulphur
spray discolors paint and it is
almost impossible to spray a tree
within twenty ieet trom a nouse
without damaging the house.
Care should be exercised in hand
ling the spray.
"Do not spray your trees when
they are dripping wet or jnst
hpfore a rain. Sorav should
have at least six hours in whij
to dry before a shower strikes i'
Otherwise its effect is destroyeri
