The Journal doubts whether it
would he wise to locate the pro
posed one normal school at or
very near Portland. A site here
would he expensive, and what
is a greater objection, a large
number of students are better
off away from the allurements of
a large city. Portland is the
most central place, but this ad
vantage does not outweigh these
objections.-Portland Journal.
Vastly different is this to the
spirit of the Oregonian which
wants everything located in
Portland that has any money
, connected with it, especially if
there is a chance for the Ore
gonian to get a linger in tin; pie.
The Journal is eminently correct

ion of good com iiioi) sense. We
have had grave doubts for some
years as to whether there was
real need of more than one Nor
mal school, but have of late con
tended that the report of the
Board of Regents should have
het'n accepted by the legislature
as final, for the Board had ex
amined into the conditions and
it should have known more
about the real conditions than
any one individual. The present
conditions are largely the result
of an itch for notoriety by one
whom the people of Marion
county have seen lit to send to
the wrong institution and may
he the means of stirring up a
feeling of bitterness against that
county that will eventually re
sult in the removal of the capi
tal. There seems to have been one
fact lost sight of during the re
cent Normal muddle in the leg
islature, and that is a most
potent one, of how the Mon
mouth Normal was acquired.
This school had been maintain
ed for years as a sectarian insti
tution and was transferred to
the state with the strict under
standing that it should be main
tained as a Normal, yet, through
the efforts of a lot of surplus
garbage that escaped the Port
land crematory and got into the
senate of the Oregon legislature,
the state has violated its obligation-has
left the people without
any place to train the teachers
of the common schools. It is
enough to make a native for
swear his birthplace. Our next
move should be to resign state
hood and ask to have a territorial
form of government arranged
for us. It is perhaps well that
the people have a chance to vote
on n branch asylum for eastern
Oregon, for it certainly is need
ed by at least one individual
from that part of the state.
