LETTER FROM OREGON.
Wildwood School Pupils Exchange
Communications with Western
Pupils.
The pupils of the Wildwood Gram
mar school received this week twenty
letters from pupils of the Central
school. Eugene, Oregon, in reply to
those sent from here recently.
This work was taken up by the
Wildwood pupils In order to come in
closer corttact with conditions and
industries of western life.
The letters received were written
bv seventh grade pupils and contain
s>me very interesting facts. Postal
cards of views are being exchanged.
The first few letters are to be
under the supervision of the teach
ers but later the correspeondence
will be at the option of the pupils.
Below is a copy of one of tife let
ters. The writer sent many clip
pings of views of the natural won
ders of Oregon which, when mount
ed will make a fine booklet.

In the Willamette valley wheat
growing forms the chief occupation
but is gradually giving place to dairy

Alfalfa grows so fast that three

a single year.
Beef cattle are fat
