Some Oregonians will recall my interest in rural scaool teaching. When the Oregon Norman School was about to be reopened—after be ing discontinued for several years— I projected a plan for making it dis tinctively a training school for rural teachers- The reason was that the rural schools had been shamefully neglected; that most of them were obliged to put up with teachers who were half trained, youthful girls, mostly from city high schools, who looked upon a country school as a mere stepping stone toward further training and ultimately—unless they married—city employment The in fluence of such teachers could not strengthen and enrich farm life, as rural teaching ought to do; rather it tolled farm boys and girls away from the farms to the towns. My plan, possibly too drastic, was “and she said she’d tend me a picture tic fliers change their clothes?’ of if Mrs. CampbU: “Dear, I saw the sweetest Ittle hat In a shop today.” Scruples Don’t Count Mr- Campbell: “Put it on and let “How about a little kiss, girlie?” me see how you look in it.” “No. I have scruples.” “Oh, thats all right I’ve been Patronize Journal Advertisers. vaccinated ” First Executive: ”1 suppose you en joyed your vacation.” Second Ditta: “Tes but there’s nothing like the feel of a good desk under * your feet again.” <V' WivUd« WANTED—Work. íHsh.

Everything from suits to evening gowns Is being caped in one way or another. If the cape la pot an actual part of the dresp, as It Is In so many Instances, then It Is sure to be one of those cunning little separate affairs made of velvet or silk or lace, or “what have you,” for designers are conjuring these graceful shoulder out of most any medium.

Wh»th er It be for the sports outfit or the afternoon costume or for wesur during the formal evening hour the cape mo tlf Is made to lend Itself to the mood and the occasion. At all evening galas In «Paris capes galore are to be seen, some half-Jacket and some half-scarf and others Just capes pure and simple. And then there’s Hollywood, our own mecca to ward which all eyes turn to see fash Ions at their best. There Is no doubt about the reign of the cape vogue In that style center. Most any day you are apt to meet pretty Rochelle Hud son, she of the smiling countenance who is waving such a joyous salute in the picture, strolling on the boulevard In her youthful looking three-piece cos tume, with Its Jsunty Iitti» cape and Its printed blouse, its colorful belt and tie. . , And there’s Julia Haydei a bit fur ther on, 'tastefully gowned as the il lustration to the right reveal» her, all ready for n shopping tour.

As to evening capes there Is no end to the procession. The prettily friv olous little ruffled fancy eape pletured In the center Is entirely of taffeta silk. There Is Just enough protection about ; It to serve for k midsummer evening, t and as to “looks’’ It Is without doubt ; a prize-winning number. No one who knows how to sew ought to be without one of these pretty shoulder wraps, for It’s no trick at all to make one out of a yard or so of silk. At fashionable midnight gatherings one sees such beguiling capes as these —a ruby red velvet model wijLh a sin gle scarf end thrown over the right shoulder; white satin made circular- cut and bordered with white ostrich; pink taffeta outlined with a ruchlng of the same; white transparcot velvet worked with rhinestones; many of white ermine. Autumn days will witness bevies of novel fur capes for detachable or rath er separate fur pieces will be played * up In great fashion during the sue- t ceedlng months. not adopted- But in reorganising the Oregon Norman School (and, I have been assured, in reorganising the later schools at Ashland • and La Grande) considerable emphasis was placed upon training for rural school teaching- Whether or not a distinct of professional rural school teacher» has emerged in Oregon, I do not know, but such a result ought to be well on the way by this time. The farmers of Oregon are entitled to the , boon they w¿uld have in a thousand well trained men and women devoted to the professional service of the farming communities as permanent teachers of their boys and girls—Just as the people of the cities have an other 1,000 or more Who are giving successful service in their schools. Now, as I veiw the plan outlined in your bill, it ignores entirely the rural school interest, and by concen trating teacher training in a teacher’s college makes it virtually certain that the rural schools will be lost sight of by students in their strange for a college diploma, the badge of aca demic fitness for city teaching The time may come when rural teachers will have to show credentials which include a college degree, but it is not herb yet and, in the meantime, |here ought to be institutions of a leas am bitious type than the college which will take vocationally selected boy» ’ and girls from the high schools and give them a couple of yean* intensive training for rural service.
