TRUE MISSION OF W. C. H. S.
The past year of the County High
school has been very successful, tha
fine graduating class of young ma:;
and women furnlah, conclusive testi
mony on the question If any v.er:
needed.
The school has secured a spleiidiil
start, but it is high time .that !'
should commence to fulfill iu re;.
mlsalnn tn Via a flnlHhlne InStaad U
a preparatory, school.
The county high schools of Or-P'
were not established to furnish :
cheap, near-home school to prepare
rich men's sons and daughters fj
college. . Of , course the foundation
studies for a . course in the liberal
arts, are equally desirable for r
'practical course in science, engineer
lng, chemlBtry, agriculture and horll
culture. But the point Is hers the
county school is to give the boys
and girls of this county a chance tu
learn something useful, that will
be of practical, everyday value ta
them in earning their bread and but
ter; to enable them to acquire a 1d1
lar and conts knowledge here at .
near homo that they cou'.d no . oh3r
wise get except by going to Corval
11, Pullman or similar1 school. Nnt
one In 25 families can affoni to( send
ttielr boys and girls to dlHtant, ex
pensive colleges, but that isn't th:
fault of those boys and girls wh
are entitled by birthright to just a
KOjd an educat-irm h8 the mors- fortui;
ately born.
That Is the reason for county higl
schools.
In other parts of tha st:v!e. Crook
county for example, the county schoo
board is recognizing that fact am5
special, practical courses are bain?
added.
Shall th V.'a'lowa county boaw'
lag behind? It had better not o
there won't be any school for then
to Iesislate for. Last winter the peo
pie of the North End served notice
liiru i'hfl Flora Journal that unless; the
school save soire real reason for iti;
existence U could not expect th'
support of tho people out .there. That
means it must be something different
and more than a mere town high
school
Ai: encouraging step is the add!
t!on of a teacher cf domestic science
4
There should he at least one more d'
pii'tinent added this co-ni'ifj yaa.
Just what that should be tlicie is r
d'.rfc-reace of opinion. Some favc:
a tuatheio training course, others a?
ricu'ture. We should like to hea
from the people of the county on tho
subj.'ct, and our columns ara ope:
to Icttors from jm'rons.-
REASON FOR FAILURE.
An eighth grade pupil of Turner
about to take th examination wrote
to the Oregonian for informatior
about a couple of easy questions.
These questions formed tho text fo:
a lcag editorial la that paper abou.
the Insufficiency of education taugh:
in the grades. A child's mind is
stuffed with ill-assorted text bool
facts; and of course when tho terrors
of tho examination is on ' meniorj
fails and the pupil falls,
In some, counties at the recent o
animation as high as two-thirds fail
od to pass. This,, wa are glad to say,

'HOT LAKE. OREGON
was not true in Wallowa, a very high
;ier cent being successful. This
.speaks well for the schools of this
county, comparatlve'y.
However, while there's a lot of
truth in the Oregonlan editorial, in,
our opinion the writer failed to grasp
the chief cause of. faulty education,
and that is the lack of trained teach
ers. Education . or ability to pass the
teachers examination, is by no means
a sure test of fitness for teaching.
Of 50 who may take a teachers) train
ing course, probably one-half of them
prove incompetent for . the practical
work of teaching when the actual
'est' comes, but under present con
lltlons of scarcity of teachers the
good, bad and indifferent all are) em
ployed. i
What is .the remedy? Wa don't know
inless the county! school board would
add a teachers training course to the
County High school, and thus hor-
-also a bountiful supply of teacher'
rom the best of whom we could
jupply the schools of our county.
We would like to see an amendment
M thj Alonroe Doctrine like this:
Whn citizens of this country or
any European country speculate
(gamble) in Latin American "invest
ments," they must take their chance,
and this government will not, nor wili
it permit any other government use
its army and navy to turn the
speculations into sure thing invest
ments. - '
The movement to Include two or
more northeastern Oregon counties
In a Development league should In
clude Baker county by all means. A
tiri-County association well managed
could work wonders in the way of
making this- part of Oregon better
known. An organization of that size
'ould even handle colonist projects,
and that Is, not only needed but is
necessary to bring in the desirable
class of settlers.
The Wilson 'boon for president has
advanced so far that his managers
have "offered" the vice presidency to
Harmon. The latter Indignantly re
fused, and that shows Harmon up.
Wheu my man gets the swelled head
so at thinks he's too big to be vie?
president of the United States, he
is far too small to be president. ,
The old Union county fair grounds
have been sold, it having been demon
strated there's "more money" in a
street fair at La Grande. The Wal
lowa County fair is about the sola re
maining stock and agricultural fair in
this part of the state, and it will be
bigger and better than ever this year
