All communications sbonld be addressed to t ie PRESS Athena, Oregon ATHENA, OCTOBER 23, 190 The work in tbe high, school depart ment is progressing is such a manner this year that the district will be com pensated for the cost of maintaining tbe the department. In the past tbe high school here has not accomplished much, but through the earnest efforts of the present principal and his assistants, a new impetus has been given the work and the standing of the Athena school is enhanced accordingly. There is an increasing tendency of the public to challenge the wisdom of maintaining high schools at public expense. While the discussion of the status and purpose of tbe high school will take a wide range, the question that is of greatest popular and pedagogic interest is stated as fol lows: "Should the public high school be looked on primarily as a school to prepare young men and women for the college and university? Or should it be viewed as an independent school with its own important ends and aims, to which preparations for higher schools must be strictly secondary?" In dis cussing this question it should not be forgotten that the high school and the state university are integral parts of tbe "common school system" of tbe state. The existence of the state university as a part of the state's system of public ed ucation implies the existence of a con necting link between the grammar or intermediate grades and the state uni versity. To leave out any of the rounds in the state's educational ladder would be illogical and unwise. It is plainly obvious therefore that preparation for the state university should be at leust an incidental consideration in arranging the curricula of the high schools. There is little doubt, however, that tbe pre ponderance of opinion among tbe more progressive educators favors the idea of making the high school "tbe people's college" instead of a preparatory school for the higher institutions of learning; that its chief aim should be to provide a more practical training in languuge and the sciences for pupils who are un able or disinclined to attend colleges or universities. It is their beliof that it xhould supply the "finishing touches" 1 1 a common school education, and that preparation for a university should be only a secondary consideration. To the mind of the layman there does not seem to be any reason why the high school eh mid not serve both these purposes. There is nothing incompatible between the idea of a "people's college" and tbe shaping of a curriculum in such a way bh to prepare pupils for a university. The preparatory course should be sepa rate and distinct from the course that is di-nigned to finish a boy's education and prepare him to grapple immediately with the problems of life. Such a combina tion of purpose would seem to constitute tho ideal twentieth century high school. The Tortland Telegram, ever on the i-lert for a "story" from Eastern Oregon that may be colored to suit the fancy of some dude space writer on its staff, is struck in the solar plexus by tbe Sump tor Miner as follows: "Tbe Portland Telegram threw a moral spasm over the steer roping contest at the Sumptor race meet. It says that the bull fighting has no greater cruelties, and questions in a righteously indignant mauuer how a town could "permit the baiting of a maddened steer, wounded, ferociously turning upon its tormentors." With out stopping to explain to the Telegram that the steer was not wounded nor was anyone hurt, it can be readily seen why a Portland newspaper would fail to ap predate this dash of strenuous life - this characteristic western sport. potato race or a pie eating contest would prob ably be more in line with the agricultur al ideas of Portland, but tho smack of the real West, with ita turbulent pas times and its manly diversions is a bit too swift for a community of farmers. Linger among your wine presses, O Port land, yank the lacteal from the bosoms of your kine, plant your prunei and garner your hay crop! but if a vigorous community like Sumpter sees fit to manifest its wild Western ways by roping the festive steer, pray don't be too severe don't lay on the rod of chas tisement too heavily. Governor Chamberlaia's last effort in behalf of the Warner Valley settlers in their contest with the Warner Valley Stock company, has failed of success. When the governor left for Washington he left instructions that when the Unit ed States patent conveying the title to the swamp lands to the state arrived it should not be filed or recorded. The state has already conveyed its title to the stock company and all that was lack ing was the filing of the patent convay ing title to the state. Ordinarily a pat ent or a deed is delivered by the grantor to the grantee. In this case, however, the attorney for the Warner Valley Stock Co. evidently expected delay if the patent reached the governor's hands and he secured tbe document direct from the general land office. The gov ernor had requested the secretary of the interior not to issue a patent to the state until he, as governor, applied for it. This request was refused and tbe patent issued and delivered as stated. If the Warner Valley settlers have any further recourse it must be in the courts. No Bespect for Sabbath Sunday morning's services at the United Brethren church were disturbed by a noise resembling the "tick-tack" sometimes divised by mischievous boys to annoy the object of their attentions, ays the Weston Leader. The pastor did not relish this diversion, and sent one of his flock to the door to discover, if possible, the imps of evil so depraved as to interfere with religious worship on the Lord's Day. The scout found a woodpecker industriously attacking the church walls. Better Than Fills.
