The Enrollment Increase
... In the news columns today is carried file
report «of the increase in registration at the Normal
School. Approximately fifteen more students have
enrolled for the second term than had signified their
intention ot attending Oregon’s newest school, last
September. ' This should be cause for rejoicing
among those who are interested in the success of
the institution. However there is more real cause
for a feeling of exultation, when it is known that
the majority of this increase has keen occasioned
by boys entering the school.
' ,
There is serious need for more men in school
work. We do not have figures to show the exact
ratio of boys as compared to girls in the grado
schools today, but we are of the opinion that they
are about equally divided. When the boy reaches
about the fifth grade he assumes an attitude of
-his own. He has problems of his own. His life
is beginning to shape itself. He has some ambition.
He probably wants to emulate the policeman who
has been unusually kind to him, or he has some
other hero that occupies a secret shrine in his
boyish heart. The person that he comes in direct,
contact with the most outside of his home, is the
teacher at school. Nine times ont of ten, it is a
wom an, She may be au excellent -teacher, have—
a wonderful training, ability to impart her know
ledge to her pupils, but being a woman it is mighty
hard for her to really understand a boy’s problems,
to gain his confidence, and to assist* him either in
the enlarging of that secret shrine, which often
enough he does not even allow his best boy friend
in on, or in destroying' the fase god of his boyish
immagination, and rebuilding in' its place* a xnoro
worthy one.
With more men becoming interested in school
work, boys problems will be more easily solved,
new ambitions will be kindled, and the result will
be that more boys will receive a higher education,
and become better fitted for their life’s work.
The Normal School, is doing well when they
encourage the enroUtaeut^dh men students, this
step on their part will be far reaching in its bene
fits. We should like to see more boys become In
terested in the school and the training that is there
A Market For Morals
▲ few weeks ago “ Judge” ran a highly imagin
ative and fantastic fairy story intended only to add
to the gaiety of humor-enjoying readers. For sheer
foolishment the statement was added: “ If you must
know the moral of this tale send 10 cents in cash
(no stmaps accepted) to” specifying a post office
box in Leavenworth, Kan., which happened to be
long to a branch of the Ku Klux Kian.
Much to the mystification of local Kian officials,
dimes began to pour into their mail box, accom
panied with requests for the moral of the story.
After several hundred letters had come, one arrived
which contained a clipping of the story, thus ending
the mystery for the Kian. The dimes and requests
are now puzzling the editors of “ Judge” not -a
little.
It looks like a good joke on somebody and cer
tainly indicates an undreamed of interest in morals,
even at ten cents each.
Sixteen Golden Weddings
Spectacular marriage annulments, divorces and
breach of promise suits receive considerable popular
attention and furnish material for pessimistic com
ment Now.and then new« items of entirely different
significance appear in the newspapers. Here is
one from Milo, Me., dated Dec. 9:
“ Students of uparriage problems may finA a
comprehensive answer at a golden wedding diifner
to be held here this month. Sixteen couples who
have survived tho stress of 50 years will be the
guests.”
There must be a good many other quiet little
towns—and some good-sized cities in this country
where similar parties oonld be given if )ieople took
the time to accord honor to the golden-anniversary
couple*.
