ORE.' cAUG. 11 916 OPPOSES PROPOSED Relative to Atbena sentiment favor ing an Eaeteio Oregon State Normal sobool at Weston iu preference to one at Pendletou, as proposed, the East Oregonian says: "We rather Imagine tbere is less of loyalty toward a neighbor town iban personal spleen on the fart of hoi mayor in tbat eo-oalled Athena en dowement of Weston as tbe logloal plains for au eastern Oregon normal sohool. Pendletna did not take kindly to tbe aapliations of Mayor Watts to be district altoiney and he ptobablv saw ij I lie present iilumiou an oppor tunity for reprisal." Politics is not involved in Athena's . endorsement and support of Weston's lights in the Normal school matter. When no remember tbut Hw as at the tehent of a disgruntled end defeated Pendletou politician that support was withdrawn from the Weston sohool, The Pries is not surprised at tbe as tuteness witb whiob ttio Pendleton paper juggles tbe word "spleen." However, the East OregoniBU editor knows that iu tbis iostanoe his pet woid availetb him nothing. lie was told while in 'Athena recently tbat tbis city's interests in lbs Normal sohool matter lay identically with tbe intoresls of Weston. Furthermore, be was informed as to tbe reasons ou wbioh Athena based her loyalty to tbe Weston sohool. Aud other members if the "pgrBgorio push" were likewise informed. Iu face of this, there 1b no litglo iu taking a personal dig at Ath ena's mayor and bis political aspiia tions, Athena's loyalty tn the Weston school is as unwseiving as it has been in the past, and this loyalty will be shown lu tbu November election. The editor of one of our exchange! xrose with a gionoh one morning 10 tautlv and this is what he seut fur inpy to tbe pi inter: "Ibe tightwad is not coullned to any I artioulaf part of the United Slates, t ut has his lair iu ovury hamlet, v 11 Ijgi. town and oity.

Tbe tightwad is opposed to every measure for the pnblio good and lor publio advancement. He is eus rlcious of everyone and everything, lujunse he is so crooket) himself that be thiuks there is no good iu nnyone or in anything. The tightwad geu isf ally accumulates qnite a little mon ey before be dies, but Inr all tbe good i dots him or nnyone else, be might jut as well have a collection of can celled postage stomps. No one oaroa anything about I) tin nioonllug the uu (rt:iker, and wbeu tbat dignitary Hu, ully gels bim, the popnluoe will give three ol.eora and win merry. Wo wouldn't give two rnstv tobaoeo tags for the tightwad's chance of entering the pearly gates, aud we dn hope he won't go to tbe other plioe, becaiiBe there aie some really good fellows down there who aro snflerlng enough uow," At a meeting held in the offloe of B. B. Richards, oity reoprdsr, Thurs day of last week, and presided at by Mayor Bnmer I. Watts, citizens adopt t tlm following protest Bgainet the proposed bill for a normal sohool at Pendleton: "We, tbe people of Atbena, Uma tillB county, Oregon, in a mass meet ing assembled, do declare it to be our belief and opinion tbat tbe Pendleton Normal school bill should be defeated. Wfaeu tbe voters and taxpayers of tbe state deem it advisable to re-establish a normal school in eastern Oregon, we believe that tbe. state sohool now In existence at Weston wbioh was never abolished tat merely failed of support should be restored to useful ness. We regard the abandonment of tbis sobool by tbe state senate in 1009 as a highhanded act of political re prisal, "We deplore Pendleton's aot in re newing the Normal sohool agitation at this time as pieoipitnte and ill-advised. We fear that Pendleton's overweening ambition, whioh is well understood iu the Athena community,' ban in this particular instance warped her judg ment. In onr opinion Umatilla rouu ty, itself, will oast a substanital ma jority against tbe Pendletou bill, and itR defeat is nrnotioally certain. We feat a liasoo resultant from PeudletotTs oampainu tbat will react agaiust tbe normal sobool prospects of tbis section of the state. "The statement pnnlisbed by tbe Pendletou committee that the state sobool plant at Weston is 'wurtblesa and the administration nuiiaing cracked from top to bottom,' is false and misleading. Athena is situated but three miles from Weslon and we are familiar witb conditions tbere. We consider the plant as ample (or tri requirements of an eastern Oregon normal sobool. It is in goon oonuniou for use and is now in faot being used nudei lease by tbe Weston school dis trict. Were it true, which it is not, that the principal buidling is 'oraoked from top to bottom,' snub unfitness should militate agaiust investment ty taxpayers of $126,000 in a new sohool plant at Pendleton. Tbe state built at Weston. Tbe Pendletou utiarge of failure implies its iuoompetonoe. We know of tbe good work none uy tbe Weston Normal under serious handicaps and of tbe professional sua- acss of its graduates. If, as the Pen dletou statement olaims, this sohool baa oost but f 174,000 during au 18 year period, we consider tbat the money wae unusually well spent, llsd it been maintained until tbe present time we feel assured that It wonld have beoome a flourishing and suocess tul institutiou a 'slundurd normal school in fuot. "The dlatrint of Weslon is large enough to furuish en ample number of grade pupils ior a model trnluiug sohool, whereiu the Benlara oould pui sne the study of methods by observa tion and praoliae. The assumption that Pundleton will turn over all of its grammar grades to a Normal sobool for practice work we regurd as amus ing, It wonld be easy for the Weatou Normal souiois lo acquire actual toachiug expericuoe in tbe rural schools of tbe neighborhood. In view of tbe fact that many of tbe gradnates wonld te required for the rural sohools of this section i f tbe state, snob ex pel ienoe would be invaluable. "Aa to the olimatio conditions and attractive environment Weslon is an admiiable location for a Normal sobool. We are glad to say tbis in jnstioe to our neighbor, although Wes lon and Athena are to a oertain degree rival towuBfor tbe trade of adjacent territory. "From the viewpoint of the tax paying putliu outside of its immedipte environs, Pendletou') elaims wocld aecni absurd. Speaking . for them selves,. Atbeuu'i) taxpayers object to paying tbolr share toward a fl'JS.OOO school plant at Pendletou, when an adequate plant at Weston is already uvailuUe. They further object to paying an annual tax of one-twenty-tilth ut a mill for a Peudletau sohuol wbim oue-fortieth of a mill would re open the Westoo sobooi with un uu nunl income of more lliun double its former maintenance.
