Last Friday was an unusually
festive day at the Oregon Nor
mal School. Miss West, the
librarian, occupied the chapel
period with a very fine talk on
library work and organization,
nast and present which was
especially illuminating to those
who perhaps were not entirely
familiar with the whole range
of library work. The students
evidenced their appreciation with
most hearty applause, lhe
Sophomore-Freshman class had
decorated the chapel most artis
tically with roses and ferns so
that everyone was keenly ex
pectant as to the events of the
day. Every one was at the
chapel at two o'clock when the
Training School Orchestra, di-
rpctpd bv Miss Hoham, began
tha nvprntnre. The play itself
"At. The End of the Rainbow"
a ii f sf srrn
was tUll OI actum aim tuiicfcc
life. The parts were all so well
taken that to mention the stars
would mean simply a recital of
the whole cast. The ensemble
of foot ball enthusiasts, the sing
ing and shouting, the excellent
intpmretation of individual parts
all combined to make the staging
of the play a most happy one.
The music by the orchestra and
the candy girls with their music
al cries and sweet wares served
to make the intervals between
acts almost too short. The class
advisors, Miss West, Mr. Even
den, Miss Kennon and Mr. Gen

SOCIAL CONDITIONS; PAST. PRESENT
UNO FUTURE
Our form of government was
republican. It was founded with
equal rights as its basis. Its
Declaration of Independence is a
Dlea for Justice and a plea to
stamp out forever all that makes
for Injustice. Its Constitution
was bathed in the blood of Lib
erty; its preamble was a call of
Democracy.
With such a bright outlook for
the future let us follow in brief
its career. After the Revolution
ary War was over the people
turned their attention again to
wards getting a living. Pioneer
bands of them left their civilized
homes to live in the wilderness.
There they lived surrounded by .
the wild animals of the forest
and by the treacherous Indians.
They raised only enough produce
that they could consume and
killed the wild animals for their
supply of meat. Time rolls on.
The War of 1812 has shown Eng
land another time that the Amer
ican pioneer is her equal. After
the war the people turn their at
tention again to domestic mat
ters. This time it is to advance
pioneer movements by increasing
the means of communication.
Roads were built; canals con
structed and steamboats, rail
roads and telegraphs added.
Again time rolls on. The Civil
War only through bloody fratri
cide' has shown ourselves that
the North and the South must
stand together. After the war
we turn again to peaceful pur- .
suits. The lands of the South
were as a desert. The North
was a land of idleness. But soon
the effect of the war decreases.
Again the lands of the South
grow larger crops of cotton than
ever before. The North is a land
of activity. New factories have
been established. New industries
spring up and new crops are
grown in both North and South.
In the North is heard the whir
of machinery, in the South is
seen the growing of cotton and
sugarcane, lhe whole country
has steadily increased in popula
tion, wealth and general pros
perity. Once more time rolls on
and another war is added to our
history-the War with Spain.
We have won and in the end have
annexed the Hawaiian Islands,
Porto Rico, Guam and exert tem
porary control over the Philli
pines. Cuba is a republic. We
have also added to our island
possessions Tutiula and other
islands of the Samoan group in
the South Pacific and have pur
chased Alaska from Russia.
Let us go back to the War of
1812 and see what the social con
ditions of the American people
have been up to the present day.
While engaged in pioneer life the
people had little time to concern
themselves with social conditions.
They made their own social con
ditions. As is the general rule in all
nations there are some who have
discerning eye towards the
future. There were some of that
type in the pioneer period of our
history. They were the men who
planned Railroads and Canals,
Steamboats and Telegraphs for
