The Uorealis is just in receipt
of the September number of the
University of Oreirori Bulletin.
which treats of " Country High
School Organization and Training
of Teachers", and is one of, the
most vasuablo bulletins recently
issued by the University, for those
jnterestcd in tho bct'erment ot
pur.rural schools. It contains an
pxtrnsivo account of methods
adopted by other states for tho
graining of teachers, and discuss
es fully tho so-called Lane Coun
ty plan for tho establishment of
country high schools. To quote
from it: "Thij plan will allow
country districts to organize high
schools, as the tuition i3 to be
paid by the whole county. The
country high school can havo as
good a teacher as the city high
school. Inasmuch as this plan
allows any enterprising district
to start a high school it does
away with the necessity of a vote.
The trouble with theUnionJIigh
School Law is that it requhes a
majority vote of all tho districts
before the high school is started. "
Under its working, sbmefouror
five high schools arc being cstab
hshed in Lr.re County in places
where it was impossible to main
lain them before. A small coun
ty tax is levied and each high
school student, regard Ws of lo
cation, draws his thavc of the
taxjthc more high school students,
the more money the district
draws from the county. Under
this law, county high schools can
be established in every group of
districts in tho state that is not
over twelve miles in extent, and
thai has liftecn or twenty pu
pils that can attend high school.
The legal form necessary to se
cure a vote is given, and the bul
letin can bo secured free by
writing to the Registrar of the
University.

REPUBLICAN PARTY

An
Equality of Opportunities S

William XI. Taft's Bpeach of Aceept
ape OItos Party Eecorl la Behalf
of Labor.
(William II. Taft la his speech of ac
ceptance,) We come now to the question of lo
bor. One Important phafte of the poli
cies of the present administration has
boon an anxloty to socurs for the wage
earner an equality of opportunity and
such positive statutory protection as
shall place Lira on s level la dealing
with Lis cmiployer.
Tbs Hepubllcan party has passed an
employers liability act for Interstate
railroads, and has established an eight
hour law for government employes and
cu government eonstmcttun. Tht es
sence of the reform effected by the for
mer, Is tbs abolition of the fellow-ser-isnt
rule and the introduction of tbs
bomparaUrs negligence theory by
Which an employe Injured in the sendee
of bis employer does sot lose all his
right to recover because of slight negli
gence on bis part
Then thore Is the act prorldlog for
compensation for Injury to government
employes, together with the various
statutes requiring safety appliances
npon Interstate commerce railroads for
tbs protection of their employes and
limiting the hours of their employment
These are all Instances of the desire
of tbs Republican party to do Justice to
the wage-earners.
Doubtless a more comprehensive
measure for compensation of govern
ment employes will bo adopted In the
future; the principle In such cflttts has
been iwognlxed and lu tb.e neceBsvrlly
somewhat slow course cf legislation
will be more fully embodied In definite
statutes.
The interests of the employer and the
employe never differ except when It
comes to s division of the Joint profit
of lebor and capital tno dividends and
wages. This must be a constant source
Of periodical discussion between the
employer and tho employe, as Indeed
are the other terms of the employment
To give to employes their rroper po
sition In such a controversy, to enable
Uiein to maintain themselves against
employers having great capital,' they
may well unite, because In union there
Is strength, and without It, each indi
vidual laborer and employe would be
helpless. The promotion of-the lpdus
trial) peace through the lustrumoutalltj
of the trade agreement; is often pne of
the result of such union when Intelli
gently couductod. . , , ' . ,
There Is a lnrg) body of laborers,
however, ikllled and unskilled, who are
not organized into unions. Their rights
before the law are exactly the same as
those of the uuton men, and are to be
protected with the same care and
watchfulness.
lu order to induce their employer
Into a compliance with their request
for changed terms of employment
Workmen have the right to strike In a
body. ' - ,
They have a right to use such per-
suaslou as they may, provided It does
uot reach the point of duress, to lead
their reluctant co-laborers to Join them
In their union against their employer,
and they hare right, if they choose,
to accumulate funds to support those
engaged In a strike, to delegate to of
ficers the power to direct the action of
the union, and to' withdraw themselves
and their associates front deaftog with
