ALBANY, OREGON, FRIDAY. MARCH.
LINCOLN HIGHWAY tt'ORK TO PROCEED
At least on great highway bids fair to be in shape over a
great part of its length by the end of the present year. The
Lincoln Highway Association reports that a permanent,
all-weather route from the heart of New York City to the
Mississippi will be completed probably before next fall.
It is gratifying to hear that work on at least one road
building scheme is to proceed steadily, for there has seemed
to be a tendency recently to hold up road work on account
of high prices.
The thing for the tax-payers of this country to hold
steadfastly in mind is that nothing will do more to reduce
high prices than good roads, which permit transportation
easily, swiftly and cheaply from one point to another.
Doubtless the development of the Lincoln Highway will
go on steadily in the West as in the East, and it is to be hoped
that what is true of one road plan will prove true of auxiliary
plans.
o
GET READY TO TEACH
According to present prospects there will be the same
emergency calls for teachers next year as this year. In ord
er that there may be a body of recruits at least partially
trained for these positions, one of the leading educators
of the country is urging that young people who contemplate
teaching nexyear, or who have any aptitude for it, should
enroll for some one of the brief summer normal courses in
which every state abounds, if they can do no more than this
by way of preparation.
The suggestion is a good one. The shortage of teachers
has led to an influx of ill-prepared, ill-fitted persons into the
teaching force of almost every community. This is bad for
the children who have these teachers, bad for the community
and a waste of the tax-payers' money.
Most communities, recognizing the need, have raised
the wage scale of teachers to fairly decent proportions. It
may be said now that the future of teaching is bright, both
financially and from the poinf of public appreciation. This
being true, the public has a right to demand that these in
creased wages go to those who are fitted to earn them, and

the embryo teacher on the other hand can well afford to fit
himself for his job.
These brief summer normal courses are not expensive,
and they give very practical intensive training in the me
chanics of teaching, and practice In those methods of in
struction which have been tried and found good by experi
enced teachers. The suggestion that our young men and
women be encouraged to take such courses is a wise one,
meriting the support of the community, and the considera
tion of the prospective teacher.
USE MORE MILK
The time of vear is at hand when milk becomes nlen-
tiful and should be cheap. Most people realize this, and:
complain because prices do not fall. They .fail, however,1
to do their share toward bringing prices down, by increasing
their consumption of milk to a point where it will pay the.
farmer to sell it more cheaply because he can sell more, or
the dealer to handle it more cheaply for the same reason. i
The farmer may have 50 gallons of milk in April, as
against 15 in January, but it is no money in his pocket if his
market remains a 15 gallon market. The same is true for
the dealer. He can not buy 15 gallons any cheaper because
the farmer has 35 gallons spoiling on his hands, nor sell it
any cheaper and carry the waste himself.
The first step in getting milk into the market in quanti
ty, and more cheaply because of quantity, is for the public;
to increase its consumption.
Prices aside, such a step is distinctly to the advantage of,
the consumer. Milk is always cheaper than meat, and may
be largely substituted for meat in the diet because it is heavy
in protein. It is the better summer food of the two, especi
ally for children. When the public has increased milk con
sumption to a fair degree, if dealers still keep the prices up
:t snouia ne possible to prosecute them tor profiteering; but
the creation of the demand is primarily the responsibility of;
the consumer. j
