While educational interest centers this week in the annual meeting of the State Teachers' Association at Pendle ton, Atbena was by no means over looked, and the andienoe at tbe M. E. oburoh last night had the pleasure of listening to two of the most inter esting and instructive addresses on tbe pnblio school question ever deliv ered in the city. The speakers were Dr. E. O. Sisson of tbe University of Washington, and State Superintendent Aokernian. That Athena people had the opportunity of bearing these two prominent edu cators was due to tbe faot tbat , tbey were in attendance upon tbe Associa tion meetings at Pendleton, and on invitation, consented to come here. Owing to tbe short time in which to make announcements, tbe andienoe fP3 y V era R K PROMPT 11 DELIVERY mm St HERE PRICES ARE RIGHT ph 83 j; The Freshest and most Choice the Market affords in VEGETABLE J We Best that Money can Buy Always Found Here DELL BROTHERS, "SSSS IN Athena, Oregon was not so large as it would have been had more extended notioe of tbe meet ing been possible. Dr. Sisson won tbe hearts of his an dienoe and held tbe lapt attention of all, by tbe masterly manner in wbiob be handled his subject, "Education Through Contagion." Bis lecture bristled with logio and faot; was broad in scope and illustrative of all that the pnblio sohool system has been,, at present is, and wbat its future .possi bilities will be when it reoeivea tbe advantages due it from co-operation of community education in other words, tbe support of tbe home, sooiety, the individual and tbe community in gen eral. He paid a splendid tribute to the Gommercial Association and held its interest taken in sobool work in high regard. " State Superintendent Aokerman, in his usual pleasant mtnner, gave a oharaoteristio address on educational matters. Dis theme was for tbe pa rent and teaober to get closer together. If no other way for aoquaintanoe was presented, he suggested tbat tbe parent get np a obicken dinner and invite tbe teacher to the home, a suggestion that brought forth comment from tbe irri pressible Mr. Brotherton. Mr. Acker man closed bis interesting leoture with tbe affirmation tbat tbe sobool cannot rise above tbe home; tbat you oould have any kind of a sobool yon want; tbe standard, be it bigb or low, is to be found on tbe basis of wbat tbe home is. Attorney B. I. Watts presided at tbe meeting and introduced tbe speak ers, one of whom, Dr. Sisson, said be oould overlook Mr. Walts' flattering remarks, inasmuch as both be and Mr. Watts were Harvard graduates. Attended Church Dedication. A number of Atbena people attend ed tbe dedioation servioes at Pendle ton Sunday, when tbe new 130,000 Christian church in tbat oity was tbe scene of a large gathering of people. Tbe dedicatory services were conduct- ed by Dr. Charles Reign Sooviile, one of tbe greatest evangelists in the work. Judge Stephen A. Lowell gave an ad dress on tbe auspicious occasion, and tbe ministers of tbe various cborobes in Pendleton gave congratulatory ad dresses.
