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.
The question has been asked In what
way are Chamberlain s Stomach and
Liver Tablets superior to the ordinary
cathartic and liver pills? Our answer
is They are easier and more pleasant
to take and their effect is so gentle and
so agreeable that one hardly realizes
that it is produced by a medicine. Then
they not only move the bowels but im
nrove the aoDetite and aid the digestion.
