SWEET HOE MAN LIKES
THE SUPERVISOR SYSTEM
j Writes Democrat Giving Views
on Rural School System
in Linn County.
Sweet Home, Or., Sept. 9.
F.ditor democrat:
Noting a number of items in the
columns of the papers relating to
-school supervision, both for and
against, 1 will endeavor to give it
from a teacher's point of view.
The main object, as I look at the
supervisor law, is to bent tit the rural
schools. You may take it in general
throughout the state and the unex
perienced teacher is hired in the rural
schools ,aud the experienced teachers
take the city schools where ample
supervision is at hand. Xow if it
were only reversed there would be a
less need of supervisors, but as it is
not the legislature passed a law pro
viding each county with one or more
schoolsupervisors to look after the
unexperienced teachers and see that
the work in the rural schools is car
ried on in a profitable manner and
the boys and girls get value received.
Time' and again the unexperienced
teacher is put in the rural schools
with things to every disadvantage
to do successful work. Lay after
day, week after week the time goes
on, not much has been accomplished,
poor methods of instruction Have
been used, a clear and definite knowl
edge of the subject taught was lack
ing on the teacher's part, ami not ;i
visit or a word of encouragement
from the parents. While under the
new school system the supervisor vis
its the schools of his district once or
more a month and gives the down
hearted, unexperienced teacher words
of encouragement, and the best meth
ods of instruction are molded out to
him, and how to manage the school
in general, to get the best results.
This is a part of the duties of a sup
ervisor as I see it. May I call your
attention to the amount of money
spent in Albany, I .ebanou, Lrowns
ville ami other towns of our county
for school supervision. Albany alone
if you please spends as much if not
more than the whole county spends
for iis supervision, can you not see
the reason why the rural school is not
in step with the city schools? Ite
cause our gray-haired falhers sat on
a wooden slab, wrote his lessons with
a goose it 1 1 1 , and did not see the face
of a county school superintendent
once a year, it is no sign our noys
not irirls of today are compelled to
put up with these things. We are
living in a progressive age. and the
new law providing tor (lie school
suncrvisor is a step to promote the
school system of this slate, to com
pete with that of other states of this
great union. Say nothing about the
increase ol taxes lor it amounts it) a
trifle to the average taxpayer, we
should think of the good that may he
derived from the small portion of our
tax to help the school system of our
county, and that our hoys and girls
may leave our schools better fitted
for life. Iteing in a position to know
I will furthermore slate the schools of
this county have progressed more un
der the supervisor system than here
tofore. Yours truly,
F. L. GILBFRT.

ELECTRIC FREIGHT
LINE 15 PROBLEM
Route Across Calapooia River
Interferes With Plans of
Chautauqua People.
SUSPENSION BRIDGE CAN
NOT BE CONSTRUCTED
Chautauqua Officers and the
HOr. El. Officials Investigate
Route this Morning.
A row of beautiful shade trees in
Hryant's Park and an unobstructed
entrance to the park are two of the
knotty problems now confronting the
Oregon Fleetric officials in their en
deavor to build their freight Hue
through the city and which they
wish to adjust to the satisfaction of
everybody concerned.
When the Oregon Fleetric Com
pany first applied for a franchise in
Albany it wanted to operate its froight
trains through the ctiy on Fifth street,
the same thoroughfare over which the
passenger trains were to be run. The
city officials objected to this however,
and the matter was finally adjusted by
the Fleetric company being given a
franchise on Water street for their
freight lines.
Then the Fleetric company pro
posed to operate its freight trains
west on Water street to Calapooia,
thence south to a point a short dis
tance north of Second street where the
road turned and crossed through the
property of the old Crawford estate,
crossing Third street near the ice
works to Fourth street and thence
out of town on this street, joining the
main line near the cemetery. This
route was found to be impracticable
later and the feasibility of another
route was then investigated.
The latest route upon which the
company is said to have figured was
to cross the Calapooia near the Mag
nolia mill to Bryant Park,, thence
along the high ground along the north
bank of the Calapooia for a short
distance where it crossed the river
again and followed the' south bank
to the point where it joined the main
line.
The point where the road would en
ter the park, if this route should he
used, would affect the plans of the
Chautauqua association, which holds
a 10-year lease on the grounds, and
wdiose members have been planning to
construct a cable suspension bridge
across the river from the alley be
tween First and Second streets to the
park. i
Mr. riryant. the owner of the prop
erty and its lessees, the members of
the Chautauqua association, are also
anxious to preserve the natural beau
ty of the .park as much as possible
in adition to maintaining an unob
structed entrance to the grounds and
how lo do this is the problem upon
which they are now working in con
junction with the railway company.
This morning, Pr. M. IL Fllis, pres
ident of the Albany Chautauqua
.sn. ; L. F. Hamilton, vice presi
dent: I. 11. Ralston, secretary; J. S.
Van Winkle, chairman of the grounds
commit tee, and 1. M. F'reneh .went
over to the park with L. Griswold,
resident engineer of the Oregon F.lec
tric and I . C. Lewis, assistant right-of-way
man. lo investigate proposed
routes with a view of adjusting the
matter satisfactorily.
A meeting was ;,lso held at 2

cial club rooms ip regard to the mat

The excessive rain which com

ten or more days, has damaged the
shocked grain in the fields.
There is fully two-thirds of the
grain still to thresh: and this will take
at least twelve or fifteen days, as
the number nf machines are so few
much of it will have Ut stand in the
fields so long that there will neces
sarily be a lss to the farmers.
There is also thousands of dollars
worth of clover seed still in the
fields which is also more or less
damaged, as the en p is very heavy
and will be hard to dry out.
Tlte water in the smaller sloughs
has been running and the ground is
full wet to plow, and quite a few
have started their plows.
The vetch which is still unthreshed
is also damaged, as it is quite So it

In places there is a large quantity
of i.ats in the fields which is not yet
