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-

Plan to be

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.)

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

are: President, Bernice Schultz; Vice

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

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? 'From
theory! The minute we try to cut
life according to a preconceived pat
tern, to mix It on general principles
according to a certain recipe the re
sult Is . . . not. "pleasant"!

PACIFIC DEFEATED

Fast Playing Wins First
Basket Hall Came of The
Conference Season
Normul basket ball hopes started
away in fine Cushion lust Friday night
when we defeated Pacific in the firat
conference game of the season. 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.
Condid and Rowe each dropped in
one and then Egleston and Beck each

Egelston and Butler played fine ball
