POINTS URGENCY OF
PRACTICAL TRAINING
Great State Wide Contest to
Determine Who Can DoThings
Is Being Launched.
Continued from Tuesday, May 27.
L; P. Harrington, state field indus
trial worker, in his addresses before
the students of the Albany public
schools in the interest of a state wide
contest to determine what the school
children can do and primarily in the
interest ot the Linn county Indus
trial Fair which is to be held at Scio
during the Linn county fair the fore
part of September, when the largest
school exhibits in the history of the
county will be installed, has talked
interestingly of the work as planned
which will no doubt prove interesting
to mothers and fathers ot school chil
dren. During one of his addresses, Mr.
Harrington said in part:
"We are asking boys and girls to
be interested and to help m a great
state wide contest to determine who
can do things that count the best.
The common duties of the home, for
the girl and the boy, are of prime
importance and are emphasized in
this manual contest.
The practical side of education is
being given the attention it deserves.
Oregon has taken an advanced posi
tion in this great nation wide indus
trial and agricultural school move
ment.. Linn county is awake to this
verv important educational move
menr. The county superintendent,
Mr. Jackson, has secured $600 in cash
prizes for the boys and girls of the
county who prepare and send in their
products for the county contest.
The state offers some very fine
prizes for the things that boys and
girls can raise or make. What is of
more importance than home duties,
cooking and sewing for girls, the care
of poultry and stock for boys, also
the use of tools and for all, caring for
a erarden.
"School credits for Home. Work."
when the system has been introduced,
is proving a great incentive to the
bovs and eirls in this industrial work.
There are five prizes for county
exhibits, the first prize being $100.
Could Linn county get any better ad
vertising than to win one of these
prizes?"

Becoming suddenly sick while in
Woodwork's drug store yesterday
afternoon. Virgil Parker started to
ro out on Ihe street for the benefit
of the air and as he reached the door
he suddenly collapsed and fell in the
doorway in a faint. Friends rushed
to his assistance and he was carried
into the store'. Fearing that his con
dition was serious Dr. H. J. Kava
nangh was called and after a short
period the young man was restored to
consciousness.
Parker is a member of the graduat
ing class of the high school and was a
number of the cast of the senior play,
and it is believed that the strenuous
work which the young man has been
doing to complete the term-is respon
sible for his condition. It was report
ed at the high school this morning
that he appeared to be perfectly well
this morning and was able to attend
school.

ably.

"'OU won't get "stung" if you buy an
Olds Engine here to saw your wood, or
do any other kind of work around the place.
You need an engine you can't get along without
one but a poor gasoline engine is worse than nona

you get.
A cure way to be sure: come here and get an Olda
Engine.
If you can't find time to come and see us, ask us to
come and see you or send you a free
