,,on8,y into the consideration of this'pondenoe school by which 350
probitim and one which tbe averare
thinker overlooks, ia that of the loss
to the State through students going
elsewhere. It ha been conserva
tive ley estimated that two hundred of
thfc brainiest and most helpfal young
men and women in the state of Ore
Ron are going each and evrry year to
ihe University or Washington and the
Uuiversity of California where they
believe they can better fit themselves
to play a mtsttrlv part in life than
they can in the .University of Oregon.'
The cost too. each of these students
for travel, tuition, and living is not
lees than $500 per year and in many
cases $1000. So that we se f rum a
money standpoint alone, Oregon ia
loinn 1100,000 everv single year at a
conservative estlmte to say nothing
of the talent, the power of leadership
and brave initiative which is going
toward the npbailding of other states
than our own. Can we afford this
drain opon our own social, industrial
and political resources? The time is
pat when the backswoodsmao, the
illiterate and grossly incompetent in
dividual who prides himself upon his
lack of edocation can manage i tbe
affairs of this great commonwealth.
Every line of activity, from stateman
ship to the hewer of wood and the
carrier of water ia becoming special
ized and individualistic. The man
who would hope to succeed today in
politics, in business, in the profes
sions or in the sciences must have the
best possible training, he must un
derstand tbe laws of cause and effect)
he most nnderstand hnman nature and
lie must understand now to conserve
n-rgy .and utilize it to its highest
iidvantage. This broad tolerant and
understanding charaoter and develop
ment can" be brought about only by the
greatest measure possible of special
ir.tvi education ai d training aud this
mucation and training ran be ob
tained only in our institutions of
h gher education. What better place
tianinthe State University f Here
tuition ia free, expenses are low. So
ciety makes no great demand opon
the student and statistic show that
f 8 per cent of the student' are work
ing their own way through the TJni
versitv. Higher edncation pays and
i ha great majority of tbe people
who' do things in the world believe in
it. The people of Oregon shonld
patronize every rational effort to en
courage schools, colleges and univer-
sites, ' not only for their benign iu-
flnenoe upon the happiness of life in
all it stage and classes and of society
in all its manifestations bnt because
it la the only means of preserving onr
political life from the degenerating
nfluencrs of sophistry, partesanship
and corruption. We have the closest
pproaoh toward a pnrely democratic
form of government in Oregon than in
any state in tne union ana we are
proud of the fact. If our institutions
and government are to be kept pure,
wholesome and serviceable and the
people are to gain the highest possible
service from them, edocation and in
telligence must actuate the body poll
tics in all its actions. The people
must thoroughly understand tbe
measures and politics upon which
they are to vote abd thus keep the
lections free, fair and virtuous,
How can the people who are the law
makers in very truth under our ini
tiative and referendum laws legislate
wisely, sanely and safely unless they
are well posted and advised concern
ing the problems before them and
what better means for bringing about
broader, more comprehensive intelli
gence in the whole body politic than
the support of higher education.
The objection is raised by a pre'
vious correspondent in one of the
local papers that the increased appro
priation which the state can afford to
give to education should bo given to
the public schools system rather than
the University, but this writer is
either hopelessly ignorant or not a
keen observer or he wonld know that
we must have young men and women
of superior training and education to
teach onr public schools and that these
teachers can only be ob'ained from
our institutions of higher education.
Also that the University is nothing
more nor less than tbe head of our
publio schools and tbe efficiency of
their work ia doubled by the co-oper-tion
of the University. Tne Univer
sity of Oregon has exerted a strong
influence over th publio school sys
tem of our state. More than 126 of
its graduates are teaching in the pub
lio schools and high school of Ore
gon. Eighteen out of 54 yoong men
sd women who wera graduates from
the U of O last Jnoe are teaching in
the common school and high school
of the state. The demand for well
trained teacher is three times aa
great as the supply. It 1 the height
of folly to say that the University ap
propriation stand in the way of tbe
develepment cf the publio schools.
The oost of the University annually to
each person of the state onder a
$135,000 appropriation will be Juat 25
cent. How .pitiful indeed beoosaes
the argnjnani. . The Cai varsity serve
all tbe peole by mean of Ua ocrras-
students not registered at the Oniver
ity are receiving training along var
ion line of activity. The Depart
ments of Economics, Edocation,
Mining and otnera , have responded
loyally to the many calls, made ou
them and every department of the
University la constantly serving the
state.
Let us all, then, ate every effort
in our power to prevent this outrage
to the intellig' non and judgment of
the more progressive and energetlo
classes of onr citizens throughout
this state aud strive earnestly that
tbe appropriation bill now beforfe the
people "hall not meet with defeat at
the polls. E S VANDYKE.

ONE CITY TURNS DOWN
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
Aneot the conidf ration by thepeopla -of
Grants Pass of the question of the
municipal ownership of its waterworks
supply, the followiug. action of the
oity authorities of Hood River may
prove to be of more than passing in
terest to Courier reader. The Mews
Letter says: That the city of Hood
River does not rare to go into Ike
water business ia evident from tbe
vote oast Monday on the matter of
Issuing bond for the purchase of th
present plant,
"There was not much interest mani
fested in the. subject, and when th
votes were counted the ballots re
vealed that 86 votes were cast against
bonds, and 80 in favor.
"The company now intend to niak
some substantial improvement in
the system. Cast iron or steel pipe
will be laid throughout the oity, and
it is probable that the oity will make
some permanent arrangements with
the water oonipauyy for efficient fire
protection.
'There was not a quorum present at
the oouooil meeting Monday evening
and consequently the matter ooold not
be acted on officially. In the informal
discussion of the matter, all were ia
favor of seouring fire proteotion if th
insurance rates oonid be decreased
sufficiently to warrants the contract
with the company. It, is probable
that an expert underwriter will arrive
from Portland and outline to th
oounoll and oompaoy exactly wbat
will be necessary in order to meet the
demands of the insurance companies.
"Hood River ha a gool water
from the Ooe spring a flow down any

midst because we have the beet water,
scenery, climate, apple and straw,
