Willamette Chorus Singers
Give Sacred Concert Here,
A chorus of gingers from the stu
dent body of Willamette university
came to Monmouth Sunday evening
and gave a sacred concert in the
Normal chapel before an audience of
nearly a thousand people. All of
the churches of the city gave up
their Sunday evening services to al
low their congregations to attend.
The concert was voluntary and not
even a collection was taken. That
it was appreciated was shown repeat
edly by the spontaneous applause
that followed the different numbers.
The violin numbers by Mr. F. M.
Chapman met with- especial favor as
'did the chorus directed bv Prof. E. W.
Hobson and tho different vocal numbers.
Normal Situation From
Oregonian Writer's View
Although both Ashland, Jackson
county, and Island City, Union coun
ty will have bills in the legislature
requesting the establishment of nor
mal schools, sentiment among the leg
islators in Salem Saturday tended to
favor the enlarging of the present
normal school at Monmouth to avoid
duplication of overhead expense.
Although the bills have not yet
been prepared for consideration of
the legislature, it is likely that the
Monmouth Normal School will re
quest the appropriation of $145,000
for the establishment of a teachers'
training school in Independence, ap
proximately 75,000 for the con
struction of new class rooms at the
school and $50,000 for additional
maintenance. This in addition to
$276,000 approved for the Monmouth
normal school by the state budget
commission.
Establishment of a normal school
at Ashland will be urged by the dele
gation from Jackson county. It will
be contended, according to reports,
that the old Normal school buildings
there are still intact and could be
renovated, repaired and made avail
able for school purposes at an ex
pense not exceeding $100,000. Per
sons who recently inspected these
buildings, however, have disagreed
with the Jackson county delegation,
and expressed the opinion that it
would be economy to wreck the pres'
ent structures and use the land for
the establishment of a new plant.
Should the latter plan be adopted
it would be necessary for the legis
lature to appropriate for not less
than $200,000 for new buildings with
i a liberal allowance for maintenance.
Island City wants a normal and
will probably have a bill before the
house within the next three or four
days. This plant would cost approx-
, imately the same as the proposed
( Ashland normal plant. Oregonian.

FAIRYLAND
(II. R. Miller)
I wandered on a frosty day,
Upon a hill, not far away,
Where silver birches, spruce nnd vines
W;ere traced in silvery designs,
So frail, so delicate and rare,
That, just one breath of summer air
Would cause them quickly to expire,
Like snow flakes falling into fire.
Dead spruce tips stood, like glistening
spars,
Bedecked in gems as bright as stars,
That winked and twinkled in the light
Like diamond facets, bluish white. ,
Alone the trapper's cabin stood,
A crystal palace in the wood,
Each log, the window panes and
eaves,
Embossed in glistening silver leaves
And flowers, without a counterpart,
That dared Aladdin's magic art.
As tho each elfin heart to thrill,
A tiny stream ran down the hill, .
The music from whose magic lip
Breathed naught but sweet compan-
, ionship;
Here, happy wood folk might have
played,
Or princes passed in dress parade
Before their sovereign, proud to own
A jeweled bird house for a throne.
