The Personal Eqration In
Teaching
In a letter to the Outlook a
prominent New York lawyer,
some time sinee, lamented the
fact, that at his alma mater, Yale
college the classes had become so
large, that it was impossible for
the professors to know personally
and individually those who at­
tended their lectures.
He compared this condition
very unfavorably with that in
his own time, when the profes­
sors were in personal touch with
their students and knew most of
them intimately. In his estima­
tion this loss of personal contact
was a decided detriment.
He was right, for no matter
how excellent the methods, or
the course of study, or even the
lectures, the personal equation
cannot be ignored with impunity. '
Because the successful applica­
tion of these depends on their be­
ing administered wi t h good
common sense, adapting them to
the needs of the individual stud­
ents. This cannot be done un­
less those to whom the adminis­
tration is committed, know some- ’
thing o f the students under their
care.
President Garfield o n c e re­
marked that his idea o f a univer­
sity. was a Iniard plank with
Mark Hopkins at one end. and a
1 m ) v at the other end. One of
the most noted headmasters in
England, made it a cardinal prin­
ciple that he should In* in person­
al touch with every boy in the
school. In order to insure this,
he strictly limited the number,
which meant the loss o f seven or
eight thousand dollars income to
himself per year. But he magni­
fied his office, consequently finan­
cial gain did not count.
But what was the glory of his
work? The sending out of thou­
sands o f I hivs to the work o f life
stimulated to h i g h endeavor,
through their personal associa­
tion with him. He stamped his
own image, as it were, on them
and taught them t»* think and act
as he did.
Thus he became a
great master and all the greater
In-cause his whole teaching was
permeated with religious force,
for he consecrated all teaching to
the service of God, and the boys
were made aware of this.
No teacher can be truly succes-
ful unless he thus gives himself
to his pupils, and his highest re­
ward will be when sooner or lat­
er they rise up and call him bles­
sed.
There can be no greater
satisfaction to the true teacher,
than to hear a pupil declare “ You
have been one o f those who have
influenced me for good.”

The Crown Prince in an inter­
view recently stated that the
Americans did not know what
they were fighting for.
He had
asked one. a prisoner, who replied
“ for Alsace” and thought Alsace
was a lake.
But the question
with which the Crown Prince
should be concerned is “ Can the
Americans Fight?”
His boches
will answer that for him most
decidedly in the affirmative.
The News extends its greetings
and heartiest wishes for a suc­
cessful school year to Superin­
tendent Signs, his able corps of
teachers and the pupils in both
buildings.

Hotel Oregon-
Respectfully solicits the patronage o f the People o f Es­

land.

the business and theatre section, at the convenient
corner o f Broadway and Stark.
You are assured a cordial welcome and your patronage
will be appreciated.

THE BEST STOCK THE MARKET
AFFORDS.
PRICES ARE HIGH
AND GOING H IG H E R -B U T OUR
PRICES WILL A L W A Y S
BE
FOUND REASONABLE.
The former slogan o f the Lib­
erty Loan campaigns, “ Buy un­
til it hurts,” is to be changed to
“ Buy until it helps.” Not that
this means until it helps your
country, but until it helps you
and gives you a clearer vision
ami understanding o f your re­
sponsibility.
But the first slogan, in spite of
its being open to misconception,
expressed an important require­
ment. For the broadening effect
o f subscribing for the Liberty
Loan will not be felt unless
it entails the pinch o f sacrifice.
Ninety-three members o f the
I. W. W. including W. D. Hay­
ward, are now in Fort Leaven­
worth beginning their long sen­
tences, for having violated the
espionage act in fighting the se­
lective draft and otherwise op­
posing the war. This will prove
to a certain element that the gov­
ernment is in earnest and will
use to the full extent, the pow­
ers which have been conferred
upon it, for the successful prose­
cution o f the war. If any fool­
hardy person attempts to throw
a monkey wrench into the ma­
chinery, he will only suffer for
his stupidity.
