The following is a part of an
editorial recently published in the
Oregonian:
Oregon’s public school system
is undergoing changes which pro
mise to transform it from a chaotic
condition into a perfect and har-
monious whole.
Indeed, much
progress has been made in that
direction in the last few years,
and, though the work goes on
with so little display that few ob
serve it, important changes are
now being made.
Without any
apparent organized effort for that
purpose, all the educational inter
ests are striving for the improve
ment of our schools and great
good is being accomplished.
*
*
*
Along with this organization of
the common schools has grown up
a highschool system which is now
quite firmly established in nearly
every county in the state. In the
less populous counties, the high
schools are yet lacking in some
respects, but they are founded up
on the same general plan—to take
up the work where the common
school leaves off and prepare the
pupil for entrance to the fl eshman
class of the state University. The
high school course comprises
four years of work, and wherever
it lias been brought to the requir
ed standard, a diploma showing
graduation has a definite meaning
The high school is yet in its for
mative period in several of the
counties, hut the time will soon
come when in every county there
will be offered a uniform four
years’ course of instruction above
the eight grade.

This systematic organization of
our public school system is in
keeping with the best thought of
the time in every line of effort. A
perfect organization of working
forces does more than any other
one thing to secure the success of
industrial enterprises. Each de
partment of a factory or of a busi
ness institution has its particular
work to which it gives exclusive
attention. Thus each worker is
enabled to accomplish the great
est results,'and since the whole
system works in harmony, there
is nothing left undone. Thus it
will be in our educational system.
