PROF. L. J. P0W' uailkis.
v
Following are a few iteis from lecture
on oublic schools, by PrtV- L' J- Powell,
Superintendent of Public nstructi .de
livered at the Cojrt HouseV Wednesday
evening:
The common schools are thl- means by
whicl the ireat m-.isses are d&fH,,')l If
these schools are neglected, or irA'sifed,
ou youths will not receive thst cdftuje
ncessar- to make useful men and women.
The idea that tin-re can le too much edu
cation is fui e There cannot lie too much
culture uuioiig the young. The directors
and parents should interest themselves in
these schools to attend ihetn frequently
and see how the pupils are advanci. g, and
ascertain whether the buildings are kept
in proper cone it iou. The success of schools
rest on the matter of means. Competent
teachers must be pa'd or thi y cannot per
form the duties successfully. There should
he unn in unity of sentiment regarding the
regulation of public schools. The schools
i-aiinoi be conducted according to lashion
and wishes ol each particular individual
Every one shout I conform to the general
wish. There are imiw rlecnons in the free
kIi.miI system, but il is the best that can be
devised at present, and we should, work
under it with unflagging z-al. in all re.
siects. let us nave the br.st schools possi
bly under the circumstance. The olj -ct ol"
public wihools is to place education within
i he reach of every you'll. It is the object
not to eiiurate the youth above labor hi. t
to it To furnish the'yoitth, wiio are una
ble to attend) colleges, with liberal culture
Is the design ot the free -cliools. To do
this, there must be money to support he
schools. The Legislature should provide
a school tax. The people would endorse
such a measure. There must e citiu e
tent teachers and a live Omu'v Superin
tendent. Toe time of the Suiieriiitendeni
should be devoted xclunive y to ihe duties
of his office. A salary should l urovided
that he may do this. Lei the people re-
memiter thev must sustain these schools.
I.-t uh work t-gclhi r and mould the se ti
ll Ul .-lit of the masses to an opinion favora
ble to pracica! culture.
I he Professor dossed with an eloquent
appeal fir the supp rt of the people, and
announced his iuteiitiou f holding

Hostburg.
A Scarcity.
It would be but retributive justice if
those who grumble at the sma.l amount
of news in Lome papers just now,
were ,ut up.-n the tre d-miil, and com

IJo.-eour's i.sitors
Judge Grim, ho d over nator, and Hon.
F. X .Matthew, representatives of Mar'on
county, gave us a pleisant call Tuursday.
Both gentlemen are visiting our city be
cause ihey have lizard so much in its favor;
and they t-ll us they will return totheii
homes, feeling all that is said good of Roe
liurg abroad is but half the truth told. W
know they are satisfied that ours' is a
tbr ving c mmunity ; snd b th say our
present city is in striking contrail to the bar
ren waste that meet their eyes when they
passed through the val ley of the Cmpqu'a
in-1848 thiny years ago.
Wanton Waste.
Every Sunday a number o boys and
men congregate at the mill dam south of
this city, and spend the day killing salmon
for sport, and after the fish are h -oked nr.d
drawn from the water they are thrown
upon the sand and there allo vnd to thp
themselves to death and af erwards rot.,
Xea'ly every on of the fish dest royed are
thus stopped before they reach the soa fil
ing grounds; and in this way the n'iiber
of fish that otherwise would be found in
our rivers and smaM streams is decreased
immeasureably. This is wrong. A sinyle
sensible man would not ergitge in such
want in was. e of future reliable food.
Steam lieer Mine.
Tlios. Critzer left Tuesday morning for
th S earn Beer Mine, in Jackson county.
Ueports received from these mines are to the
effect that them is already plenty of wrier
running through rue f"i ch to enable work
to proceed ; and Mr. Crtzer's trip is f..r the
purpose of s'arting the hydraulics. We
wish the proprietors of the mini abundant
success.
Entertainment Postponed.
The entertainm iu announced last week
to be given on Thanksgiving dcy by the
Presbyterian Sunday Schiol, has been
postponed until one week la'er, in order to
allow those who will tnk- part an opportu
nity to more thoroughly fit themselves for
the occasion. Whe the concert is given is
will be worthy of tbe patronage of the
public.
Prof. Powell.
This gentleman was in the city during
the week, looking after the interests of the
public schools. I'r ifess.ir Powi'll is a man
of fine attainmen's, and under his direction
the public sc'iooi system of Oregon must
bee me every way improved and generally
popular.
Changed Time.
The stages of the Oregon and California
Stage Company are now running on long
time, and nerealter pae-ei'gers arriving
from the north ami bound south will lay
over one night, at K-.seburg.
(Joing to Albany.
In a day or two Mr. J. C. Mitchell and
wife will leave for Alintny to take cha ge

Returned to I lis Post.
Professor J, P.rot ne, principal of the
Roseburg Academy, has returned from an
extended visit to San Francisco. He is in
tnjoynient of good h laltli. and his many
fneuus gladly bail his return.
"Jupiter Pluvius."
Had we the local ediior c.f the Oregoninn
here to help us this week, we might write
a half column or so under the above head
ing. As we have him not t aid us we
will simply remark, it rains.
Expected Home.
The wife and mother in-law of Mr. J. C.
