Course of Study for County High (Continued from First Page) Maintaiu Strict Quarantine Wallowa is taking every precaution against the spread of smallpox. The cases and all persons in any way ex posed are closely quarantined. No new cases have developed. ' The assertion in the Sun that the News-Record made caustic allusions to Mavor Morelock and Dr. Gregg, in its report of the cases last week, is a figment of Editor Jonas' think-pan, and he has another think coming. Tlfe News-Record hadn't the least idea the report of smallpox at Lostine originated in the Sun office and did not say or intimate so. Why deny so vigorously, Mr. Sun, before even accused? ED1T0E DECLINES DEBATE. - The editor of the News-Record has received an epistle from C. H. Allen of Flora, whose challenge to County Judge O. M. Corkins was referred to in a pleasant way in this paper recently. A copy 01 the letter was published the Flora Journal last week. Mr. Allen evidently does not relish remarkr about Ins original orthography. Notwith standing his very low opinion of tiie INews-lieConl editor he invites us "tti debate with him. Wlitfo lie holds out j the alluring promise to outdo G rover. Cleveland in phrases that bring joy to the heart of the paragraphia, yet his letter as a whole so plainly show s the need of a high school in at least one case that the expenditure by the county court for that institution is vindicated ; thereforo the debate iff respectfully declined. - .

This can only be ac complished by means of higher institu tions of learning. Is there any reason why the boys and girls of Wallowa county should not enjoy the advantages of a fully equipped and well maintained high school? There is just as much need of higher education in this county as in any other. The children are just as deserving and just as much is due them as is due the children of any other part of the state. The children of this county will grow up to manhood and womanhood, and will scatter out and settle down in different localities counties or states ai d it is then that their educational qualifications will re fleet for good or for'naVght upon the locality in w hich they were schooled. We must admit that the standard of our community, the strength of our government and the future greatness of our people will depend upon the train ing we give the boys and girls of today and those yet to come. The respon sibility or the . future rests upon tho-e for whom our sohools are conducted. We may go where we will and wherever we find a community thnt. maintains a well equipped and thorough school, there we will find law-abiding indus trious and progressive people. . There is no better means bv which we can determine the standing of a community than by its educational facilities. The establishing of the Wallowa countv high school marks the begin ning of a new period in the educational affairs of the county, .. The . boys and eirla are now civen -an oonortunitv to receive their secondary schooling at honip, nd, when they shall have finished the work, here, thev will be ready for college or professional training. The work of the county high school is broad In its scope, rour courses are offered the classical, the scientific, the English and the commercial. The school will be equipped with a labora tory for the studv of the sciences, and agood library for use in connection with the teaching of history and literature will be installed as rapidly as the re quirements demand. Manual training will be made a part of the commercial course, and music will be offered to all those who wish to take it. In cities where go od high schools are ninintained, the per cent of eighth grade graduates who pursuehigher education is much greater than in towns where Inadequate nigh school facilities are offered. The same is true of a county. Offer vour bovs and girls a good high school where there isan opportunity for some selective work and i'ew will fail to pursue it. The people of Wallowal county must have confidence in tho county hiwh sehool. They must take pride in the school and manifest an interest in It. They must impress upon the minds of tho " children that the ' county high school offers the same courses and just as good instruction as does any aca demic school in the state. Unless this Is done the home school will be run down and the distant school built up. If our boys and girls are sent away to high Fchool, or its equivalent, it means a reduction in the home enrollment, and more it means a lack of confidence in the people to support in their midst that which they must send elsewhere to get at a greater cost. .. - It costs money to maintain good schools. It is quite ex pen site to put up a laboratory for the study of physios and other sciences. It takes money to establish a library for the proper study of history and literature, ana there is no small expense attached to equipping a school for carrying a commercial course, for it mnst- be thorough. Yet these are expenses necessarily attached to equipping and maintaining a high school of reputable rank and character. The expense of building up such a schoil is too great for any ordinary town or district. The subject of higher education should be of interest to every parent and patron of the schools of Wallowa county. It should be frely aud thoroughly discussed and a wide awake interest made manifest. Public sentiment has much to do with the hnilding of good schools. Every citizen ninst feel an interest in the higfi school and insist that the course of study and the teaching be thorough and up-to- date in every respect.
