Rev. Dr. Thompson officiating. It
was the marriage of . Mr. Alex

May Foister, of Albny. The pur
lor was very nicely decorated (r
tho occasion and the happy couple
stood under the arch of roses in the
center of which was suspended the

Education in years gone by
meant, practically, a scant knowl
edge of reading, writing, selling
and arithmetic. Today it moans
position, power and social stand
ing; it means wealth or poverty;
recognition from the world or be
ing ignored by the world; it means
nower anions one s fellows or total
lack of power; it means an elevated
life, above the slums of petty gos
sip, and association with refined
minds, or a groveling spirit that it
the contempt of all observers
The illiterate man stands but a
small chance f success in the
mad race for wealth and fame that
is a char4Cteristio of the present
day. As a tboioughbred throws
dust in the eyes of the awkward
draft horse, so the educated mau of
today leaves the uneducated one
far in the rear an . gathers the
honors that the latter would fain
call his own.
Parents are rapidly awakening to
the fact that unless their children
are given an education they will'
amount to scarcely more than a
foil for theif better educated neigh
bors, and no father or mother
wishes their sons and daughters to
feel I he slight of the siwial world.
At Eugene, Corvallis. Indepen
dence and Monmouth the schools
this fall are full and it is well. It
speaks highly for the future of the
country; well for parents and well
for the children. Tne world needs
men ami women, and Ihe high
schools turn them out. Encourage
the teacher in every way possible
and see that the little ones are at
school each day. It means much
to them; it means much to the
nation.
Our supply of new books in the
eood bindings are expected every
day and will contain all up to date.
