Weathered t.ave Interesting
Talk to Public School.
Mrs. Edyth Tozier Weathered
delivered a very interesting
lecture to the pupils of the Hepp
ner public schools Monday fore
noon. The lecture was given in
the high school room on the
second floor of the public school
building. This room which is
large, well ventilated and well
lighted was filled to its utmost
capacity in accommodating the
large number of pupils.
The little tots occupied the
seats nearest to the speaker
gradually tapering off to the
larger students in the rear of the
room.
Mrs. Weathered was introduced
bv Professor Reid. Her talk foi
an hour and a half was not only
interesting, but was instructive to
all.
Tn looking over the sea of
vouns faces Mrs. Weathered
stated tbat she could truthfully
6ay that she never looked over a
better crop of boys and girls.
That as an exhibit no better dis
play could be produced than' a
photograph of the Heppner public
schools.
The speaker said that she was
still a DUDil herself and was learn
insr something every day. She
spoke of her early school days in
Oregon, of the Joue walks to
school through the woods when
the school house was built of logs
and the seats were uncomfortable
benches. That today the schools
of Oregon were iust as well
equipped as acv state in the union.
Each boy and girl was impressed
with the fact tbat today there are
grand opportunities within reach.
Mrs. Weathered gave an inter
esting account of her experience
at the big exposition. She said
tbat tbe pnrents and legislators
do not realize the importance of
an educational exhibit, and she
wanted every pupil to go home
and tell their parents that they
are tbe advance agents of immi
gration and civilization. In
speaking of Professor Robinson
who has cbarge of the educational
exhibit at the Lewis and Clark
fair, she said that he had made a
special study of the methods of
the different states as well as from
diffeient countries and that it was
his desiie to make Oregon's edu
cational exhibit the finest of any
state in the union.
She dwelt at some length upon
the mixed up mesa of our former
exhibits at the big expositions and
said that we would all have been
ashamed to have seen our exhibit
at the Buffalo exposition. She
spoke of the importance of having
the school children write compo
sitions about our state. That the
500 compositions that she had at
Buffalo were eagerly sought after
and fell away short of supplying
the demand. She spoke ot the
hundreds of calls from the visitors
who not only wanted souvenirs
from Oregon, but also samples of
our products that they could take
home with them to the different
states and plant. Oregon wheat
was much sought after, but as tbe
management had made no pro
vision for the giving of anything
away and as the supply was limit
ed the power of this very effVcive
way of advertising was lost. To
take advantage of past experience,
Mrs. Weathered suggested that
each pupil of Morrow county pre
pare a number of little bags ol
wheat for the purpose of gi' ing to
Eastern farmers. That each bug
should bear a card with the in
scription "Wheat from Morrow
county, Oregon," and along with
this the name of each pupil printed
on the card ami inviting corre
spondence. Not only with wheat
but with the wool industry and
other features should be given
publicity by the use of cards.
She said that in our educational
exhibit at the Lewis and Clark
fair each boy and girl in Morrow
county will be an important factor.
Each pupil was asked to write
