Improve Our Schools.
LkbanoN , Or. , Feb . 24, I8S7.
Editor Ksi'imss:
.As the I Inn of our annual school
meeting Is near at hand, when ques
tions concerning our public school will
no doubt be discussed, I desire to brief
ly mention oue or two points.
I believe we now have a good school,
wortliy of the support of us all. Cer
tainly our publlo schools should receive
ourattt'iition, for we look to them, and
to them only, for the education of the
masses. Our public school should be
as good us any In the county or for
that rr atter as good as any hi the state.
In order to have such a school we must
keep abreast with the times and do
high school work.
Surely we cannot afford to stop with
the 8th grade, thereby depriviug our
children of a common school educa
tion. Children have been turned away
from our pul lie school In former years
when tbey had goue through the U. 8.
history. Poor children turned out
on tbe commons without an education
and without money to Becure it.
Surely our public school should fit
our boys aud girls with sufficient text
book knowledge to enable them to
secure a third grade certificate, or at
least to enter some college If they go
desired. To con dm them down to the
8tb grade would compel them to at
tend the preparatory department of
some college Iroiu two to four years to
receive the education that, they should
receive in our public school. !
There Is auother matter that I desire
to speak of, and one that will, no
doubt, lie discussed in our coming
school meeting, and that is In regard
to school buildings. As every one
knows, tbe present building does not
afford accommodation for all. I believe
our children should all be In one school
building. Nearly all school bouses
ouilt now in towns of this size, smaller
and larger, contain eight rooms and
afford accommodations for from 400 to
600 children. By having the school
all together more Interest is taken in
the school and the children have more
and better advantages, thereby keep
ing down jealousies that would arise
from two or three schools or different
buildings.
I understand we are now paying
sixteen dollars a month for tbe rent of
two rooms. Why not pay that turn
towards a building of our own, and!
give our children an education that we
may all be proud of? X

Tbe W. R. C, entertainment given
Tuesilay evening was a "howling suc
cess" in fact it was a great success,
aud the "Sour Kraut Brigade" did
some comical bowling, consequently
we feel justified in calling It a "bowl
ing auccets,"
Quite a large audience was present,
the neat sum of $38 belli", realized from
tbe sale ot tickets. However, If money
was not so bard to obtain now a-days
the ladies would have bad a much
larger house, which they really merit
ed, as they worked hard to make the
drama as pleasing as possible, and also
their expenses were quite heavy.
Miss Fannie Hughes impersonated
tile heroine iu such a realUtio manner
that she wat heartily applauded. Miss
Hullie Baker, as Kate Spencer, Is also
entitled to much credit for her splen
did acting.
Lyle Baker had a difficult task the
Impersonation of tbe hero, Julian
Farns worth, and his disguises. This
necessitated the acting of four different
characters a northern gentleman, a
Dutch corporal, a Dutch justice of the
peace, aud an Irish woman but Lyle
has aucti talent as an actor that Web
ster's Unabridged contains but few
words that would express the great de
light of tbe audience while he was on
the stage.
However, (Jeorge Raudle was a close
second iu his character of a negro, If
Oeorge can be beaten in acting the
part of a comical darkey, it is only by
a first-class professional actor. We
have never seen his equal among ama
teurs. Henry Smith was the heavy villain
a part that requires much at llity to
do justice to the character. But Henry
has that ability and can be. very vil
lainous on the stage.
Space forbids Individual mention of
th" several other actors, bat each and
every one did well.
Crawford & McKnlght'e orchestra
furnished music for tbe occasion.
The cost umea were very complete, as
piouilsed. Bv the way, it will be a
long time before the costumes worn by
the "Sour Kraut Brigade" will be for
gotten by the members of the audience.
Iu closing, it is but due to Mrs. G
W. Cruson to state that nuch of the
success was by reason of her zealous
efforts iu making preparations for the
drama.

Mrs, Hoffman' Lecture.
Editor Exfkkss: ''"
The lecture by Mrs. Hoffman Inst
Thursday evening was well attended
and highly appreciated, We wish we
could give an abstract, but cau only
present some of her thoughts as we re
member them.
Her whole lecture was to answer the
oft repeated question, "What has the
W. C. T. U, accomplished?" She con-
fined herself to actual facts within her
memory,
Socially, she referred to the time
when liquor was served at every gath
ering from a christening to a burial,
and to its comparative disuse to-day; to
the former use of liquor in high life,
especially In Washington, and to tbe
check it has received, mentioning as
influential In bringing about the
change, Sec, Window and wife, Pres.
Hayes and wife, and Mrs. Cleveland.
Industrially, she menlloued the fact
that formerly no temperauce restric
tions were made upon train men, tell
ing of an engineer who was helped Into
his cab "to sleep his drunk off." The
change In thl- direction is well known.
Within her memory all farm work
was done by hand, and laborers In
large bands worked long and hard to
harvest the crops, receiving their
liquor regularly in the field. Her
father at last refused to furnish the
customary liquor and found that, better
work aud less quarreling was done.
She spoke of the vote taken in the
house of representatives to abolish the
saloons in the capital buliding.
Religiously, she told of the time
when church members and pastors
used liquor freely, when there were
spittoons at every pew and a larger
one for the pulpit.' When she began
to lecture, there was great fear lest a
woman speaker, especially if she
should touch on politics, should con
taminate the sacred edflce scented
with tobacco. Now a pastor or church
official who uses liquor or tobacco "has
not a heaveuly time on earth, what
ever he may have hereafter."
Referring to the time of the "Wom
en's Crusade," she told ol tbe women
who went before congress iu behalf of
the reformed men to whom liquor was
readily sold, aud of their reception by
men who were "as sweet as honey and
as deceitful as Satan."
Convinced that the only practical
way is to train the children,
the women by their petitions
have caused scientific temperance
Instruction to be given in tbe public
schools. Through their Influence the
U. 8. Nival cadets are forbir'den the
use of liquor. They have also worked
to secure ihe cigarette laws that have
been passed. She suggested that our
own legislature might have done some
thing in the temperauce line, if it bad
organized in time.
By petitions of W. C. T. U. workers
the unjust laws concerning the protec
tion of girls have been amended. The
"legal age of consent" Is changed from
childhood to womanhood. Mrs. Hoff
man would no sooner trust women
alone to legislate for men than men
alone to legislate for women.
Defeudlng herself for not attacking
the saloon keeper, she explained that
the saloon keeper is as good as
bis saloon, his saloon as good as those
who license it, those who license it as
good as tbe law which permits them
to do so, the law as good as tbe legisla
tors, and the legislators as good as the
people who elect them.
She spoke of the legislative troubles
03 tending to bring about the election
of senators by the people directly, and
the system of initiative and referen
dum. The closing appeal was to help the
W. C. T. U. workers and not to cow
ardly wait to see what they accom
plished. A Hearer,
Last Monday evening a large audi
ence was present at the Baptist ohurch
t listen to Rev. Lindsey's address on
"Maccabeeiem." He charmed his au
dience by bis eloquent argument con
cerning tbe benefits of the order. He
took his text from the bible, and de
clared that it was the duty of every
man to take out insurance so as to
protect his family in time of need. We
are informed that there have been sev
eral applications for membership as a
result of the meeting. We do not be
long to this order, hut judging from
the interest displayed by the members
and the fact that the order pays up Its
obligations promptly, It Is a good one.
