The week opened at Mountain View with programs Monduy and Tues day, which were continued at Oak Point Wednewlayand Thursday and with the last two days of the week at Klkins. A number of Monmouth people attended on this occasion and short addresses were made, incidental to the regular schedule, by President Ackerman and Prof. Ide. It wus an all day program and as was the case during the other days of the week the presiding officers were eighth grade pupils; Frank McKldowney and Margaret Tetlrow doing the honors on Saturday. An incident of the day was the awarding of prizes for landseajie plans for the beautifieation of the Klkins grounds. These had been prepared by the pupils under the stimulus of competition and showed a practical understanding of the work attempted . First honors were awarded to Carl Tetherow, second to Margaret Tedrow, third to Carl Dod son, excellent plans being also en tered by Harold Price and Cordon Matthews. Miss Carson, the teach er, gave the incoming visitors a wel come and at the stroke of the bell, visitors and pupils who had gone out doors for the summons, filed in and took their seats, to music of the organ. The children put on a program in the morning, which in cluded a dramatization of that child's classic "Chicken Little" and an ex hibition of art work of the great ar tists of nature. J. E. Larson, county agriculturt, ist, appeared in two addresses, the' "Farmer's Garden" giving advice as to fertilization, cultivation and selection of seed, and on "Drain age". At noon he gathered the men of the crowd on the hill back of the school house and gave a practical demonstration in mole trapping. A cafeteria lunch was served, abundant in quantity and excellent in quality, and among those who partook was a group of people from Mountain View, who arrived to pay back a visit, made recently by the Elkins school to that district. At noon, Wm. Riddell, Jr. also gave a talk on wool and sheep grow ing which thoroughly interested all present. In the afternoon there was anoth er children's program consisting mainly of a debate on the question of the relative importance of Man ufacturer and Farmer. The form er, championed by Harold Price and Frank McKldowney, was given the decision by the judges over the far mer, who was championed by Carl Tetherow. Miss Mills of McMinnvillegave an interesting talk on Family Food, speaking of the quantity and kinds of food required by the body and of the best ways to prepare the same. During the day there was singing by the school of songs complimen tary to Oregon, the Elkins school and the life of the farmer which did not fail to awaken much applause.' Mrs. M. L Fulkerson of Salem cWedthe program with some witty I remarks on "What I Think". She : said that as a Normal student, twen , ty seven years ago she made a visit i to Elkins seeking an engagement as Ischoolrna'am. She met two of the ' board who said they would hire her '. and notify her when they had seen I the other member of the board. I During the time that had elapsed 'since, she had been waiting to hear ifrom the remaining 'member of the ! board and the'present invitation, be ing the only invitaition she had re ceived to return to Elkins in all that time she had eagerly accepted it. Prof. M. S. Pittman, through whose energetic mind the idea of a rural week was received and who boosts in season and out of season for the rural school, hovered over all during the whole day like a guardian angel, keeping events moving according to schedule. A vote of endorsement of the Ru ral Week idea was taken and surely one was never more enthusiastically given. Nearly every family "in Elk ins was represented in the gathering ;and with most of them the represen tation was complete, all members of the family being there. Mountain View "Resoloots" Whereas ,the Rural Department of the Oregon Normal School under the direction of M. S. Pittman, is using the Mt.
