WHAT IS WRONG WITH OUR PUBLIC
SCHOOLS?

Escondido Cal., Aug. 29th.
Mr. and Mrs. Upton H. Gibbs,
Estacada, Ore.
! My Dear Gibbses:
This letter is indicted to you
from two standpoints, one of
i “ good-fellowship” and the other
| real business, for on receipt of
our N e w s it read on the wrapper,
“ pay up or shut up,” so we de­
cided it was more o f a pleasure
to “ pay up” than the other way,
so are giving ourselves a very
distinct pleasure in enclosing
our check for $1.50 to insure to
our future pleasure the receipt
o f 52 messages of good news and
hearty work for the building up
o f the “ old home,” Estacada.
Your “ N e w s ” is getting better
at each and every issue, and it
has always been a puzzler to me
why, yes, why , do so many of
the merchants o f your town let
you go to publication without
having a good live “ ad” in your
paper? Your “ set-up” and press
work are much better thiin the
average country weekly, a n d
since coming here I have met-up
with an eminent newspaper man
who is “ doing” this section for
the Philadelphia Public Ledger,
writing both history and going
events. It would be a pleasure
to have on your “ staff” such
men as this person, for his talks
are like new wine to a jaded
soul.
This person of whom I
write is Charles Burr Todd, who
is 78 years of age, weighs about
125 pounds, but who is all brains.
You would deem it a special fa ­
vor to talk to him for one-half
hour.
On September 9th, Grape Day,
the pastoral and fair and get-to­
gether events for this valley
take place, and after said events
I will try and give you my im­
pressions o f the same.
Another cause of weakness in
our public schools is a lowering
o f moral standards in the home.
Upon the schools, most o f them
