PROPERLY TRAINED
TEACHERS NEEDED
Eastern Oregon demands normal
school for protection of children.
Representatives of The) Dalles,
Pendleton, Baker and LaGrande
for the purpose of discussing the
normal school proposition which
appears on tbe ballot at the next
election met in LuGrande Friday,
These people represent all of the
country east of the Cascade moun
tains. A survey of the school sit
uation discloses thut no institution
of higher learning or for the train
ing of teachers exhista in the great
territory east of the mountains.
Regardless of where the normal
school will be built, these repre
sentatives have made it plain that
sectionalism does not govern the
question as to whether or not a
uormal school should he establish
ed in Eastern Oregon. Tbe future
welfare of the boys and girls of
this great section should be the
controlling force that should gov
ern the voters in making their

choice. To a man with a family
living in Eastern Oregon, it is an
iodividuaal question: "Ishal1 my
children have properly trained
teachers when they start out to
get their education to jipp during
the balance of their live? Will
nip children gpt etfirted right so
that as they progress in the grade
schools they will not have to take
two years to pass one grade? '
These are vital questions, and
only the parent whose child has
failed in some course in school
can realize the difference between
having a trained and an untrained
teacher when the child starts out.
Statistics show that in the great
state of Oregon it costs the state
at least $400,000 yearly to reteach
the cbilpren who have failed be
cause of incompetent teachers.
The monetary consideration, how
ever, is only incidental. The treat
consideration is that when a child
hue failed and the next year if
compelled to take the course over
again, . yon have tnereby taken
from that child's life one full year
which neither you nor anyone elae
cau give back to him.
Wehaveover 6000 teachers in
this state. Those who leave the
tetiching profession leave vacancies
which must be filled. These vacan
cies run about 1000 yearly. The
one normal school in this state
will furnish from 150 to 250 traii

of the vacancies must be filled
either from other states or with
untrwined teachers. The fact is
that 90 percent of these vacancies
are filled' with untrained teachers
Can we afford to allow this lost
year by our boys and girls who
have failed to be thaiged up
against us for not trying, to cut
down this 90 per cent? The (Btab
lishnient nf two more normal
schools in the state of Oreou is a
big mi'p toward supplying this
deficiency.
Eastern Oregon i3 particularly
cut out of any advantages of 8
normal school. At the present
normal school at Monmouth there
are only 24 students from the 16
Qoucties of Eastern Oregon. ' This
number of students at our Mon
mouth normal is only about 1 par
ceut of the requirement to keep
the teaching force of this patt) of
the inland empire up to standard.
In comparing Eastern Oregon with
tbe Willamette valley, we find
that all the estate institutions of
learning are situated in thut valley
In addition to this, the Willamette
valloy has numerous institutions
of learning established by religious
denominations and private endow
ment. lhe,e institutions of learn
ing serve as centers of education
and culture for those localities,
while in all of eastern Oregon, as
well as southern Oregon, there is
not ont such institution. Certainly
the people of Eastern Oregon
should demand the establishment
of normal schools so tat tbey can
have educational facilities and
centers of culture. Every man and
woman, if they have the interests
of the boys nd gials at heart, who
lives tu eastern or southern Oregon
should vote for the normal school
measure. The good people of Port
land and Multnomah county have
heretofore generously supported
the pastern part of tbe stale in its
development, and we earnestly
appeal to them again to give this
measure a good vote, because it
vitally affects the development of
tins part of the state, which is
tributary to the great metropolis
Furthermore, inasmuch as the
legislators of Eastern Oregon have
supported the institutions of the
state located in western Oregon,
(and we are justly proud of them)
we apptal to the voters of western
Oreffon to support us in our at
tempt to progiess upon the biiiii''
great plane as they.

ENORMOUS LOS!
TUESDAY NIGHT
The largest barn ever built in
the county was destroyed by fire
about 1 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing, the cause of which is not
known, indications are that it
originrted in the gangway in the
center of the htiilding.
The barn which wag owned by
L. B. Kelly was erected this year,
and wag yet not entirely complet
ed, and was insured for only $4600
while the total loss is estimated at
about $15000.
The neighing of tbe horses and
bawling of the cattle awakened the
family, but the enormous stuciure
84x152 feet was a mass of flames
and it was with difficulty that the
men approached two corner box
stalls and released a valuable
stallion and a fine mare. Ten
other work horses and three cows
in the center stalls could not be
reached and perished in tbe flames
Sixty tons of hay, 400 bushel of
oats and ten sets of harness were
id the barn. Three wagons stand
ing near were pulled away after
roof fell in.
The structure was strongly built
concrete foundation which remain
ed in tact. The material has been
ordered with which to rebuild on
halt of the foundation.
