Nobody else can speak a word, my dear." s AT ONE-DAY TRACTOR SCHOOL ON Wednesday Jan 28 Open to Thomas & Horton Independence Oregon A Few Reasons Why Normal Deserves Aid 1. The Increased Attendance: Its at tendance has more than doubled dur ing the last three years. The aver age of the four terms of the past year was 832 students. The attend ance of the summer school for 1924 was 1024. - If this increase of over one hundred per year continues until 1927, the date of the next meeting of the legislature, the average enroll ment will be over one thousand. It would be impossible for the Normal School to train ' properly that many students with its present facilities. 2. The " Present Inadequate Support: The millage tax providing approxi mately $100,000 annually was suffi cient in 1920, but is entirely inade quate for the rapidly growing student body. Classes are too large, requir ing more class rooms and more in structors. 3. A Training School is Condemned: One of the training schools is out Grown. dn&DiHnlpri and rnmlpmnnrl hv the fire marshal. It is unfit for pupils to attend. It must be replaced. I 4. The Demand for Trained Teachers More than 1,000 new teachers are re quired annually by the schools of Ore gon. The great majority are needed in the primary and grammar grades The Oregon Normal School is able to turn out scarcely half enough to meet the demand. It should be enlarged to be able to train more teachers. 6. Other States are Supporting Nor-. mal Schools Liberally: The normal schools of the state of Washington are asking this year for $1,950,923, The Oregon Normal School requests as a maximum not over $300,000, less than one sixth as much as Washing ton. California spends more than eleven times as much on normal schools as does Oregon. Idaho, New Mexico and Arizona with much less population and assessed valuation spent nearly twice as much as Ore gon, and Colorado with a slightly greater population and assessed val uation spent nearly twice as much as Oregon, and Colorado with only a slightly greater population and as sessed valuation spends four times as much. Do not the children of Oregon deserve as well trained teachers as those of other states. 6. The Low Comparitive Cost: The pet capita cost of students of the Or egon Normal School is much less than that in the other state institu tions, being only $154.94, while a student in the University costs $243, and in the State College considerably more per year. The entire cost of a graduate of the Normal School is only $309.88,. while in the other State institutions is four or five times as much, 7. The Benefit to the State: The amount expended for the training ,-pt a student of the Normal School is . relumed - directly in service to the state in the education of boys and girls of the state, and is not devoted primarily to -the preparation of stu dents for financial success or the professional honor of the individual. The Maintenance of High Stand ard of Training: Oregon has recent ly repealed a law providing for teach er training in the high schools of the State. The normal course in the kicfh ftrhnnl cannot, take thp nlflpp nf a teal standard normal training. The (standards of teacher training ought! to be raised rather than lowered. Normal courses established in ten or all AT more high schools of the state would not reduce the attendance at the Normal School any more than the courses running in over forty high schools the past two years has reduced it. 9. The Need for a Sufficiently Large School in the Center of Population The large majority of students at tending the Normal School at Mon mouth are from the Willamette Val ley. A normal v school in eastern and Southern Oregon will not relieve the large attendance here. The present school should be increased to its maximum capacity before es tablishing another normal and thus maintaining the double expense of two institutions until absolutely necessary. Resolutions Adopted by Oregon Civic League Affirming our confidence in the su preme value and high efficiency of the public school system of the State of Oregon, and acknowledging our do votion to its maintenance and devel opment, we hereby declare our loyalty to that system and offer our support to all reasonable means for its im provement. To that end, we, the mem bers of the Oregon Civic League, an nounce our desire and judgement WHEREAS, We believe that the education carried on in the elementa ry schools of the state constitute the foundation of its system and that the soundness of that education expands upward into and pervades the higher education superimposed upon it, and that the proper schooling of the peo ple of the state is dependent upon the preparation and efficiency of the teaching force of the State, and WHEREAS, We are convinced that the growinc demand for normal train ed teachers is far beow the supply, that the facilities for training of teachers for the elementary schools are wholely inadequate, That the pro vision for normal training in Oregon is far below the average national standard, and that effective teacher training can only be secured in a standard normal school or teachers' college; therefore, BE IT RESOLVED, That in order to raise the standard of instruction and to increase the present efficiency of the schools, it is imperitive that the shortage of normal graduate teachers be relieved, and we urgently recom- LEARN TO DECORATE MOULD AND PAINT WITH DENNISON'S , Sealing Wax All Materials and Instruction Booklets at Morlan & Son "Always new things to do with Sealing Wax." Plan to be mend to the members of the Oregon legislature at its present session, that I additional normal school facilities for the training of teachers for the ele mentary schools be provided at once; and BE IT RESOLVED, That in order to facilitate and extend the present high standard of normal training, an appropriation sufficiently great to en large the present normal school at Monmouth to meet the demand for training, until the financial condition of the State permits the establish ment of other normal schools, be made at this session of the Legisla ture. (Passed unanimously.) Announces Chain Store Will Locate in Monmouth A new corporation has been form ed for the establishment of a string of chain stores in the Willamette val ley, and one is to be located in Inde pendence, is the announcement made yesterday by II .

"The purpose" said Mr. Grady, "is to establish small department stores, specializing on groceries. The size of a town we will enter will in a large measure determine the size of the establishment. Running heavy to groceries, we will also feature in numerable articles selling from five cents to a dollar. We expect to be ready for our opening here in about sixty days. Independence Enterprise: Peace Cause Advanced By Library Improvement Have You seen them? Of course you have. More than likely you al most cracked your head on them in your mad, unseeing rush to pay your nine dollars to the school. I mean the new doors between the library and the outside world. The whole country is talking about peace. We want peace, we need peace, and what is more we must have peace. ' Our school has given us an opportunity to get what we want. The library is peaceful! And our new doors did it. They shut out the sound ' of elenhantine feet noundine down the hall and we can really get down to work. The reserve books have been put in the model library so that makes the main library even more quiet. Miss Macpherson stayed here dur ing vacation to oversee the work. We owe her and others responsible a vote of thanks. You bet we will make a lot more l's to show our ap preciation. New Delphian Officers The Delphian society elected its new officers at their first meeting in the winter term. The new officers are: President, Bernice Schultz; Vice president, Bernice Stewart; Secreta ry, Ruth Bryant; Treasurer, Cather ine Grant; Sergeant at Arms, Airaa Wilson; and Reporter, Mary Cavach.

Juki Three months 75 eta Monmouth lW A Meditations A biography of Brighnm Young, and incidentally of the Mormon church, now being published in th Ladies Home Journal, recalls a num ber of interesting facta in connection with the rise of that modern sect. In the early days of the organization, it moved often. Founded In New York, it was transplanted to Ohio, moved to Missouri, from there to Illinois, ami I finally to the last and final homo in j the far west where they hoped to be let alone. Moving with them was like taking up a whole community and transporting it bodily. When the Mormons left Missouri their farms and much other property had to be disposed of at forced sale. The big objection to the Mormons as neighbors was that they were too thrifty, similar to the objection fre quently raised against the Japs. Wherever they settled they crowded out the easy-going original inhabi tants. At first Prophet Smith's idea was that all property of his followers was to be handled by him for the Lord, the individual accepting such portion as the prophet thought neces sary or sufficient. Later the tithe plan was adopted which worked bet ter. As a matter of speculation, would not any agricultural communitv prosper in a higher degree, financial ly, if it would accept the direction of one capable head; especially one of Brigham Young's caliber? Such kaiser like course would probably improve the grade of cattle and pota toes raised, but it sure would be hafd on the human individuals. Last week a local dealer adver tised in the HerrKl a certain manu- f factured article at a lower price than tually, if the co-operative idea works out, he must do that very thing. Cut Lives to Pattern; How We Get That Way "Was she pleasantr asked John with a smile. "Yes, pleasant as usual I" Mary smiled back at him, and then recount ed her meeting with the lady In ques tion;" "There - was the usual tea-party crush, but she greeted me across the room with the cry of a long-lost friend. When I could extricate myself from her embrace, she began on you : 'How Is dear John? ... I wish I saw you often. . . . How Is John? I tried to explain that a cold, an ap pendicitis operation, an Infected tooth had left you not In your usual spirits. But she smiled on hadn't heard a word I'd been saying. That's nice!' she cooed. And then she caught sight of someone else." John, In spite of all his troubles, laughed. "The last time I saw her," said he, "she was telephoning. She held up six people In a busy office who had a million things to put through In a hurry while she was telling some foot woman always to wear blue hlue was the color of her eyes and she, looked d,v,ne ln blue' Tnen 8ne hunK UP DUt P "lere wtun oeror " receiver to explain to all six how ashamed and sorry she was to have kept them waiting." "I always thought," went on Mary, "That the best story about her was her insisting upon saying good morn ing to the policeman on a certain beat. Be thought she was trying to pick him up and almost ran her ln once!" "I can forgive her anything except the time she met me ln the street ln the pouring rain she had an um brella and I hadn't and there she stood Just so that her drippings ran neatly down my collar while she hoped that life was going happily for me and mine 1" How do we get that way?

Ev erything looks fine for a look in at the championship this year. The big thing the team needs is support and they surely got the support from the girls. The result is obvious. The game started "Notre Dame style." Couch Meador picked Nel son and M. Ray, forwards, Baird and McGowan, guards and Condit center. Our quint played fine ball but they could not hit the basket. When they failed to n'mke heudway Meador rush ed in his "shock troops" and "The Four Horsemen" proceeded to show PfUTic the rudiments of basket ball. V'ith the score 8-0 against them, Condit. ,;.s shifted from center and placed with Rowe at forward; Egles ton and Butler became guards and Beck Bhowcd a wonderful brand of ball at center. Egleston looped in a beautiful shot and Beck followed with another. Then Beck dropped in a foul. Pacific made two points. Beck tossed in a pretty one and soon after the half ended: 10 to 7. The same lineup started the half which opened with a bang. During the half Pacific made but two points while the Normal quint made 8 points.

Rowe and Condit played a flushy game at forward. Egelston and Butler played fine ball at guard and Beck was a whole team in himself at center. Toward the etui, Baird and Nelson went in for Rowe and Condit. Pacific dropped in a double foul just before the whistle, making the score 16 to 12 In favor of the Normal.
