reduction, temporarily at least,
of Dist. 108 from second to the
third class. But whether third
or second, Estacada ranks favor­
ably with any similar district in
state. Many of the leading edu­
cators inform us tnat they were
“ hearing about us’’ and if we all
take a still livelier interest in
scnool affairs still others will be
“ hearing.”
And right here let
me say that one of the best ways
to show your interest is to get
out when some prominent edu­
cator comes our way and let him
know we are alive. We mention­
ed two or three such opportun­
ities coming soon. Don’t forget
them and when these educators
go traveling about the state they
will say Estacada is doing things
worth while.

themselves in communities and
continue to render desirable ser­
vice for years, instead of passing
on in a year or two to better paid
fields of endeavor, as is now the
case.
We find, by comparison,
that Estacada is among the most
progressive districts of the state
in this m atter of providing funds
for betterments.
Probably among the many
other interesting ideas set forth,
the one of most interest to the

general public, has to do with the
coming adoption of text books
which will take place next June.
We know there will be many, and
likely complete changes. There
was expressed a decided differ­
ence of opinion at the superin­
tendents’ meeting as to whether
or not districts of the first class,
of which there are 21 in the state,
might not be given the right to
make their own adoption of texts,
while the state adoption should
apply toother schools. This argu­
ment was based on the fact that
the state text book commission
must chose texts suited to the
majority of schools. This major-
itv is largely rural and small town
schools therefore the cities should
have the right to adopt texts
more suited to advanced work of
the larger schools. On the other
hand it was shown, pupils mov­
ing into first class districts would
be obliged to buy a new set of
books, and that there might be
abuse of the power of choice by
book men and superintendents.
So far as Estacada is concerned
it would not matter much either
way, except for those who moved
from us to districts having diff­
erent texts. It may not be com­
monly known that one of the in­
direct results of the war was the
As will be seen in another
column, Mr. L. A. Chapman has
sold out his grocery to Mr. War­
ren McWillis.
He will remain
here until he can dispose of his
other property interests.
At
present he is undecided as to his
future location, being desirous of
engaging exclusively in the un­
dertaking profession, for which
he is so signally qualified.
His
departure will be received with
great regret by our people, for
Mr. Chapman has always been
most courteous and accommodat­
ing to everyone.
We express
what we feel sure is the general
sentiment, that his leaving causes
a gap hard to fill, and that he and
his family will be followed by the
sincerest wishes of the commun­
ity for thei- future success and
wel fare.
To his successor the N ews ex­
tends a welcome to the business
fraternity and predicts that he will
follow along the lines of his pre­
decessor, which gained an envi­
able respect from the public.
W. W. Williams of Portland,
is in charge of the commercial
department of the high school
during Miss Devore’s absence.
He is very favorably impressed
with the school equipment.
Some country correspondence
has to be over to next week.
CASH FOR FARM.
We have a buyer for stock and
farm tools on a farm ranging
from $1,200 to $2,400. He will
rent the place and pay cash in
advance for stock and lease.
