All communication should be addressed to he PRESS Athena, Oregon ATHENA, JANUARY 27, 1905 A proposition is embraced in a bill before the legislature this week relating to placing tbe normal schools of the state under one board of regents, that should be carefully weighed by the sen ators and representatives of Eastern Oregon, if they value the success of the Normal school at Weston. The graft habit is so eternally strong in Western Oregon that this paper seriously doubts whether the Eastern Oregon school would flourish to any great extent with a board of regents on which but one Eastern Oregon mau would find a place. He would have three Valley men in the harness with him, with the state board of education as a' sort of referee. The pro gram as stated in tho Salem Journal, follows: The legislative program this week in cludes a bill to put all the normal schools under one board of regents, with power to make a uniform course of study and cut out all the local grafts. The presidents of the several normal schools are said to favor this plan. At present each of the four normal schools has 12 regents, including the state board of education, composed of the governor, secretary of state and state superinten dent of schools. This state board is to be retained on the board of normal re gents as at present but instead of 36 regents to be appointed by the governor, he will appoint four, one from each county where a normal school is located. This joint board will have power . to make a uniform course of study, and absolute control of all the schools. This bill will put the Oregon normal schools on a more permanent footing, will im prove their educational standing and reduce the expense of management. The basis of appropriations will be changed to an expenditure based on the attend ance of persons who are taking a profes sional teacher's course of study, and the applicants for admission must sign a blank application that they intend to take such a course as the state board prescribes, and that he or she intends to follow the teaching profession. The bill has been carefully prepared by a conference between the governor, Su perintendent Ackerman and Secretary Dunbar, and will accomplish a great educational reform if it goes into effect. The ioint board of regents and uniform course of study is the phn on which the normal schools of California and Wash ington are conducted. In California the state normal school principals are made by law members of the state board of education. of the appointment of a committeeman to be state commissioner of roads with general supervision, The provision that the state may pay one-third of the cost of the new roads up to $1G6,000 a year, has also commended itself by trial else where. It has been pretty well demon strated that adequate country roads will not be constructed in America without help from the state. Tho best results have been secured, however, by con ditioning this state aid upon compliance THE H0MB OF TOTOIV To our Customers We are anxious to have you all know that Vinol is a new form of a very old and valuable remedy.

A much needed burin "8 venture for which Athena can and would furnish a fertile field, yet remains to be developed. Each week there leaves Athena a goodly sum of money for laundry work that is being done in the steam laundries of outside towns, that might just as well go into the home bank account of some live, progressive man with the foresight to establish a laundry here. There is business for a laundry in Athena. Power is cheap and now, more than ever before, inducements appeal to the man of experience in this line. There are fifteen students enrolled from Umatilla county in attendance at the Agricultural College at Corvallis. Every county in the state is represented. A total of over 600 students are attend, ing the college, the greatest number yet recorded in the history of the institution. The present enrollment is classified as follows: Graduate work, 8; seniors, 40; juniors, 47; sophomore, 97; freshmen, 286; sub freshmen, 63; specials, 30; spec ial agriculture and dairying, 40; music, 23; total, 634. The Oregon Agriculturalist says that reports from different points in the Northwest indicate that some enemy of the San Jose scale is at work upon it in places. In some orchards which were badly infested a year or two ago the scale has almost disappeared without human intervention. Unfortunately, however, taking the Northwest as a whole the pest is spreading and the use of lime, sulphur and salt spray seems likely to be necessary. There are a great many people in Oregon who believe that the people of our second congressional district did an unwise thing in electing Binger Her mann (o congress after his "retirement" from the general land office. And the action of the late grand jury at Portland did not reduce that sentsment to any marked degree. The Montie good roads bill, intro duced in the Kansas legislature, con tains a number of admirable features and marks a decided advance over ex is ting legislation.
