He has some thing over 50 bales. Samples of the new crop from var ious hop growing districts show a better average quality otf hops than was anticipated by dealers. Wide spread reports in the east that Ore gon hops will average a very poor quality, are likely to injure the sale of state hops. While it is true that some moldy hops were picked, it is also true that most yards cut dowE (or left on the vines) all moldy hops. Samples from the bale show up weL in color, weight, and cleanness. NORMAL Oregon has but one Normal School. This school is located at Monmouth. ExceHent as is the work of this school it is utterly unable to supply but a small part of the need for trained teachers for the State. Owing to the crowded condition of our one Normal at Monmouth and also the distance and expense of attending, students from Eastern Oregon are com pelled to go to neighboring states to secure their training as teachers. ONLY COSTS 4 CENTS PER $ 1 ,0 0 0 The annual maintenance cost of the proposed State Normal School in Eastern Oregon amounts to but one 25th of a mill or 4 cents on a thousand dollars of taxable property. Isn’t It worth this to have your children trained to become useful and productive citizens? STRONG ENDORSEMENTS Among those who strongly endorse the establish ment of the proposed Eastern Oregon Normal School are Governor Withycombe, J. H. Ackerman, Presi dent of the Monmouth State Normal; W. J. Kerr, President of the Oregon Agricultural College; P. L. Campbell, President of the State University; Robert C. French, former President of the Weston Normal, and practically all of the leading educators of the State. J. A. Churchill, Superintendent of Public In struction, voices the sentiments of those who are most familiar with the need of more adequate Normal facilities when he says: "Oregon’s greatest need for Its rural schools is the teacher who has had full preparation to do her work. Such preparation can best come through Normal School training. "I trust that the voters of the state will assist In raising the standard of our schools by establishing a State Nor mal ’School at Pendleton. The location Is central, the In terest of the people of Pendleton In education most excel lent, and the large number of pupilsTn the public schools will give ample opportunity to students to get the amount of teaching practice required In a standard normal school.’* All the above educators insist that a , Standard Normal School must be located in a town of 5000 or more population and having enough grade pupils for teaching practice. VOTE RIGHT By voting V E S for No. 308 you will help to give to the echool children of Oregon the same advantages enjoyed by the school children of our neighboring states. Vote Y E S for No. 308.
