DEC. 24 1915 A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all the Piess leaders. Judge Ballenger of Seattle, is tbe latest to Use a pnblio oraok at tbe "Oregon System." The judge, who was a member nt Xaft'a cabinet, in prefaoing bis epeeob in Poitland tbe otber night said tbat, not being io pnblio oftloe, be oonld speak "nnra servedly" on tbe pitfalls of tbe Oiegon System. Then be prooeeded to lam bast the system. After reading tbe judge' epeecb, one oannol but wonder whet be meant and why be spoke at all. Tbe faot tbat be is not a resident of tbe state and tbe system not being applioalile to bim in any form, leads right op to a guess comins from tbe Oregon people as to whether it makes any.dltterenoe materially, whether or not tbe system suits tbe judge. Tbe longer the Oiegon System is in foros the betier It soils the Oregon people. Only pclitfoians find fault with it, and' then oily when not holding office, as witness the acknowledgement of tbe Seattle judge io prcfaoing his speech in Portland. What the fjeimlston Herald anya in tbe following relative to tbe sohoola in tbat olty. ia true of others: "Bow many parents have visited the school this year? It is not entire ly the thing io elect a school board and let tbem do it b11. Not tbat there li any quesliou of tbe way onr sahool is oondnoted. We believe we have as Rood a eobool as there Is in tbe state. If there were mors visiting, parents would te more in tonoh with tbe work and appreoiate to a greater extent what Is being done." Apropos of Ibe new oaleuders, some one baa suggested a calender with ev ery month beginning on Snnday uud ending on Saturday,' of iuat fonr weeks duration, and all tbe odd days lamped together at tbe end as bolidaya, Re- lurm is useless uuiaes ir is aimea at something dehirable.
