Introducing Us 5 Years Hence I .As. W Jb I N ,t ' . WV' , M ' ?! NVV t Monmouth, Oregon, May 10, 1925 My Dear Helen: I am still at the Normal school criticising the dear ' I children, while you are far away on I your t.ur h Europe. When you come back you must teach again for we need you in this wonderful 1 reconstructs period. ' Even ihirg is petting along love Jasof old in the school, but I am I surprised, jet delighted at the large i number of the graduates of '20 who are still leeching. Things used to I look as though many of ti.em would make hemes of their own but they J didn't. The many young men who ! wtre in school then are all teaching t too, however, the salaries are so j high new since the last legislature, i that I think there will be some mar J riages and they can go on teaching, t you know. Teacherages have been built in ! nearly every district quite near the school house and it will be quite convenient for k families to live mere. j President Ackerman is still at the helm and is as much beloved as ! ever. So fire the other members of the Faculty still here, which was made possible by the larger appor tionment given the school. Not on ly do we have an enlarged and well equipped Normal school here but there are two more Normals in the state, one in southren Oregon and one in eastern Oregon, and there is talk of another in southeastern Or- egon. , iou win want to come and see the beautiful city of Monmouth. You know the spring of 1920 the mountain water was brought down to the city. The water was placed in every house and there are bub bling fountains to be seen on every street. There are miles of pave ment m every direction. The streets have been widened and the most beautiful multicolored lights gleam on Main street. The popula tion has gained over three thousand and there are 800 students in the Normal. j lerritory was surveyed some time ago for the often spoken of railroad and we have several through trains a day. Drilling for oil is in progress and the coal all been bought up by firms in the East. There were recently some rich merchants here who wanted to turn entire counties into large stock lanches, divide them into sections and plant bunch grass, but there was a strong protest against the project by the farmers of the coun try, especially Polk county, who , said, "No, we are on the right track with our aggressive agricultural schemes and we don't want to change." Upids Knoll and all those hills are literally covered with oil derricks and it bespeaks for Polk and adjoining counties a certain era of prosperity. No doubt but there iB gold in these hills as well as In the county to the west. You remember 1 told you of the rich find there Home time ago. You should tie the farms around Monmouth. Tiny fairly glisten with prosperity .' The dairies which we miny no are n'j controlled by a Co-ej era live Association and Portland is not q-ite so independ ent toward the dairymen as she used to be. The farms ara in a high state of cultivation and produce is shipped to all parts'. of., the country from 1 here. . We are albO connected with , the Alaskan and Oriental trade, all of which makes Polk and adjVning counties the greatest section in the state. The farms are of such fer tility that the yield of grain per acre has been doubled to what it formerly was. : , '5 The rising cities that were once the small towns of Eola and Airlie j are now suburbs of Salem and every incoming train bears new comers into this valley. Dallas is real close to us guess we soon will , be one. In short the former embarrassed and burdened farmers are lifted out of their apathy and are now wearing caps with high feathers.

You remember used to own a large farm and dairy near town. His plans .turned out so well that he tecame wealthy and didn't have' to work anymore, but what do you think he did? ; He remained one of members of the Faculty ' just the very love of teaching. , Wasn't that good. Oh, you oueht to the mansions on Millionaire nue. The memhers of the have home3 there. It is inteestine to read the names of them all good American names instead of Res gesta and such names as sn ne have. .1 am not quite sure you fwill find anything more picturesque in your travels than the scene around vnnr old Alma Mater.
