v» Coquille tjerold. WEDNESDAY FEB. C, 1907. Oar C om m on S ch ools, BY C. B. BARROW. E ditor H erald ; Quite a number of persons have asked me why I did not continue my articles on our common schools. The simple facts are that I have been too busy. It was my origiual intention to write an article on each of the common school branches, and 1 will now try and complete the work. I will first however analyze the article of my friend Hacker, in vour last weeks issue. I have just read his article with a great deal of interest, and in many points bis position is certainly commendable. In some few points however, in my humble opinion our learned friend is in error. In the first place, I do not agree that he is an “ old fogy , nor that I ara one. What is an “ old fogy?” An "old fogy1' is one who refuses to accept and use a new, improved and better thing, method or idea when it is presented to him, but instead, obstiuatly sticks to bis old way in the face of, and in spite of the improved and better way presented. But in this connection we must remember that it is not every new thing offered, that is an improvement, not by a long shot, Many of them are mere worthless innovations. And I heartily agree with my friend Hacker, and believe his state- ment when he says that "the course in the public schools of New Eng- land in his day and generation was better than what is adopted in Ore- gon”, for we all know as matter of history what was done there by such of our noble forefathers who were themselves both educated andeduc i- tors. Look at the grand colleges they organized, standing to-day like great sentinel bullworks lighting up the pathway of science, literature, and philosophy. And while you think of this remember another fact, that they did not found these colleges on “ Fads and Fancies. ’ But instead, they founded them upon the princi- pies of science that had been time- tried anil tested since the aocient days of tho scientific Arabs, Egyp- tians, Greeks and Romans, those il- InstrionB fathers of Mathematics, Philosophy, History and Literature. If any one does not believe this, let him hunt up these ancient principles of Mathematics, Philosophy, His- tory, aud Literature. And the same thing that my friend Hacker claims for New England, is equally true of my native state of Ohio. Why, for the last twenty years it has been a standing com- ment amoDg all our leading papers, that when the government wanted a man to fill some prominent posi- tion they went to Ohio to get him. And Ohio has become a Motbei of Presidonts as well as Virginia, Why is this? Is it because geographical or climatic conditions are more pro- dilutive of brains in Ohio than in the other Btatob? No. Is it be- cause the boys and girls of Ohio naturally have any more brains than those of Oregon or any other state? No, not by any means, Then what is it? For the fact remains that A_ # . , , _ . the men of Ohio have led ,n the Nation, councils of both peace and the United States. B an croft ite m s.
