State Normal Schoo'.a-
bnFOB, Dej. 31,
Editor Tuia-M icsnisiaa :
At the Slate Teaohcra' Institute we were
pleased to hear fiom a committee on pro
pea id leylalation, a recommendation that
the priviliga to grant certificates by our
normal schools be taken away and that all
wno teach in the sta'.e of Oregon be sub
jected to the same ordal, Tnese "Fly up
the cie k iuatitotions" have for some years
been pampeied by the state, without any
just claims of being stale n-Ji utioos. Tiue
our legislators have voted them some money
and gmnted them privilege. Yet who is
it that b-lieves that either the privilege or
the money allowed is fonnded in exact
j isticebut wS a means to an end; and
that end was a supply ot teachers eduoated
op to a reasooable stan lard.
Wa now hear the cry that the supply nf
teachers is beyond the demand. Where did
this over supply come iromT Monmouth,
Drain, Weston, eto. His 'he s.ate an in
vestment in these in stitutions worthy of tl e
im- ? Aod if not need the state be forth, r
taxed to mamtaia ibese fiction-? Has a few
teachers or professors or presidents of fav. r
ably located schools any rig'it to these leg
islative pnvi'eg-s when it is manifest that
they are not a public oeoes it?
To the last question' we. say, TSo. There
priv.l gel schools have advertised them
selves, and reaped benefits beyond any ex
pense or ffrt they have pnt forth, aod
(rem the start the law ba been mischievous
aod unfair Tbe' e is not a well regujited
school in the state, nut of the ring, that haa
not suffered from this ring oorsoy.
With much respect fur our ex state school
superintendent, wbo no doubt recommended
tbe expenditure of money on these institu
tions aud ths grantii g of powers held bv
them, we must sav that the power of eer-tiri-tipg
teachers is too great and the eUiin
of the insti'utioni as state normal schools
ton ins'gn fijant to lay any claim to appro
pna'loua Irom our legitlifors.

Text Book Lazlslation-
Editor Tutus-Mi UMAUiba: ,
Perhaps there is no question of more vital
importance to the people of Oregon than
the one to determine wbat text toika shall
be used iu our schools. The cry of uniform
ltv give us our preeit law; a law that haa
given as some of the poorest text boeks
that could possibly b) touud; a law that haa
demonstrated its corrupting ii flieuce npon
those whose duty it ia to execute it.
I this age of dollars and cents it is folly
for the pronle to delegate to forty or fifty
mm a power that shall determine the ex
penditure ot millions when it Involves a
certain gain i f from 49 to 500 per cent.
Tnere is perhaps no one thing in onr na
tion that the pa pl- io general are so much
imposed upon as this. A book ot from 100
to 200 psges io ordinary binding represents
a cost of a very few cents; ao addition of
more pages makes more jost aod calls for
firmer binding. But I am safe in saying no
school b ok in gsoeral uae represents an
original coit of 60 cents.
No wonder then that book agents have
bjeu around, and no wonder that a cry of
corruption and a general hubbub has dis
turbed book-sullers for the ptstfew months.
A school text book in Uregoo, like a
United States seoatorahip, is chosen by a
fe, and like the senatorship represents
much prolix and honor. Thep-esent choice
will deoar.d upon a msj rity of 41 votes or
21. These 41 ought to be good, wound, in
corruptible citizsos; so ought all voters, bat
we know they are not. Book publishers
aod agents ong'it not to wiel 1 a corrupting
influence; but tney do, and thereby hangs
many "talea" 6f scandal. - .
Now what shall be done? If uniformity
can be developed ff im diversity, then re
peal our text oonk )a, and tbroagh tbe
-ttte board of eduottion arrange ths topics
constituting s course for oar lorarnoo
schools, that will give uniformity and at
the same tim.3 tbe use of any oae or several
different t xt books. Add to this a law
giving the dietric s precinct or county the
right to adopt text book, then the work
will ba uniform tbroushoat the state, and
the vexed text book que tioo settled the
beet possible wiy. Aaao.t KbaZIXb
Sudden Death of na Engine.
Mr. Stmnel Tucker, a railroad engineer,

Beautiful Snow
Snow began faiiinir early this moroloe,
and' has contioued all day. The flakes
are not large; but they are compact, and
appear as though they have come to stay;
This Is the proper season for winter, and
our people will be satisfied to bavo cold
weather this mouth and an early spring.
The frown ot winter that has been suf
fered in tbe last purt ot February Is no1
at all agreeable. It appears more appro
priate for the new ear to be ushered in
with snow and frost, and then for tbe old
man ot the seasuns to give' way, after a
few wieks of uninterrupted sovereignty,
to buddina!, blushine spring. We hope it
will be so this year, and tbat February
will be a month ot wild flowers. Cattle
men are well provided with feed, and a
heavy fall of snow will cause no loss of
livestock, as they are now in good ccndi
lion and can keep their flssn much better
than later in tbe season.
