Teachers and Scholars Max Confer Lasting Benefit Upon the State by Co-Operation. SCHOOL PUPILS ASKEOTO HELP Geographic Board of Oregon Wants Aid LOCAL HISTORY IS SUGGESTED The Oregon Geographic Board recently appointed appointed by Governor Chamberlain to super vise the naming of geographic features in the state, and of which Prof. J, B. Hornar, of this city is treasurer, has issued an address to the people of Oregon to aid in the work which the Board has undertaken. In the collection of data it i3 suggested that as the public school system extends to every part of the com monwealth, and teachers and pupils are of necessity interested in the subject of the geography in which the school is located, that both teachers and scholars have it in their power to confer lasting benefit upon their State by merely introducing into their schools as a general exer cise a subject which will be sure to vitalize the work in both geog raphy and history. We refer to the study of local names in the school district. Let each teacher supervise the preparation of an alphabetically arranged list of all places in the district possess ing names. After the names are collected, let her, with the aid of the pupils, prepare a brief state ment of the history of each name. To illustrate : Foulweather, Cape, named by the explorer Captain James Cook, in 1778, because of the bad weather he encountered while passing that point, Roseburg, town in Douglas county, named by Aaron Rose, its founder. The pupils will inquire of their parents, or of pioneers, or other well informed persons, as to the origin of names. They will come to take an intense in terest m the subject, and will discover a new significance in their environment, both geo graphical and historical. They can readily be led, also, to sug gest a list of places deserving of names, but not yet supplied, and to make suggestions as to appro nriate names for them. This will afford opportunity for lan guage exercises. The teacher should select from the places listed such as are clearly worthy f special designations, and de scribe them in a brief report to the Board. She should also send in the names suggested for them and of the persons making the -suggestions, stating in each case the reason for applying the par ticular name. If a map of the school district can be prepared, and the names indicated upon it, a turtner service win De ren dered to the Board and a valua ble additional exercise afforded the pupils. lhe Board, will, in its pub lished reports, give general cred it to all who shall assist in the work of collecting information, and it will make special mention of the names of pupils in each county who furnish the Board with the best and second best map of their own school district, with all place names properly indicated upon it. It will also give special recognition to the teachers in each county who shall supply the Board with the best lists as follows : (a) An alphabetically arrang ed list of all place names in the school district with statement of SUCCESSION TO GOVERNORSH IP Speculation is Rife ov . er Contingency. CHADWICK CASE IS QUOTED President of Senate Wonld be Second in Line Shonld Ben son Succeed Chamberlain. The -contest over the Presi dency of the State Senate i$ of particular interest at the coming session of the Legislature be cause, in case of the election of Governor Chamberlain to the United States Senate, the Presi dent of the Senate would be sec ond in succession to the Govern ship. The fact that Secretary of State Benson has been ill several times during his two years of service and that there have been rumors of his resignation, makes the Presidency of the Senate still more important. The constitution provides that in case of vacancy in the office of Governor, the office shall de volve upon the Secretary of State. . The Supreme Court has held that under such a contin gency the Secretary becomes Gov ernor in fact and that he con tinues in office as Governor even though his term as Secretary may terminate That ruling was mad A in t.hf nAs A of frnvvrnnr- Chadwick, who held both offices at one time. The term of office as Secretary ended when the Legislature met, but Chadwick asserted and exercised the right to continue as Governor until the new Governor had been in augurated, which took place sev eral days later. It is therefore apparent that if Governor Chamberlain should become Senator, Secretary Ben son would become Governor. He could then resign as Secretary and appoint his successor in that position for, under the decision of the Supreme Court in the Chadwick case, he would hold the office of Governor regardless of his incumbency as Secretary. The question then arises wheth er, in case Benson should resign the Governorship or die or suf fer other disability, the office of Governor would devolve upon the President of the Senate or upon the newly appointed Sec retary of State. In case of a double va- cancy occurring at the same time, there could be no doubt that the President of the Senate would become Governor, but since the Supreme Court has held that the Secretary may con- tinue as Governor, though he ceases in the meantime to be Secretary of State, there is a doubt whether the President o the Senate would take precedence over an appointed Secretary of State. Since the contest over the election of a Senator and the fight for the Presidency of the -Senate has waxed warm, there has been considerable discussion of these questions around the capital. Secretary of State Benson is now in fairly good health, though still suffering from a malady for which he received treatment while in California last summer. His severe illness soon after his installation as Secretary of State, when he broke down under the strain of overwork, raises a doubt whether he would or could un dertake to fill the two offices of Secretary and Governor. Lawvers have frequently questioned the soundness of the Supreme Court's decision in the Chadwick case. reported in 11 Oregon 389, but tne decision stands as the law of "TTTfflfflmnrir Continued on fourth page the state upon that subject.
