THE "MILK SURVEY'
And now we find that in addition to the many other
i equipments made on public school teachers and over
worked, under-paid county' school superintendents, the
Oreg'-n Dairy Council, which by the way we are solemnly
advised is an 'educational institution,' lurs 'requested' their
co-operation in making a 'survey' of the Oregon school
children to determine how many of them are getting as
much milk as the members of the Oregon Dairy Council
think they should have or, putting it in another way,
whether the parents of these school children are buying as
much milk at 15 or 18 cents per quart as the members of
the Oregon Dairy Council, who may or may not be inter
ested in the business of buying milk from the farmers and
dairymen of the state at around .30 cents a gallon and sell
ing it out to the schpol children in whose physical well be
ing they profess such a consuming interest, at 60 centts or
better per gallon, think they should buy.
As a matter of fact it begins to look like the public
schools and the public school teachers are being made the
goat by most every propogandist and self-seeker that comes
down the pike. 1 f it's a war loan, or a philanthropical drive
or a campaign to rai.e money to build a monument to some
departed hero the first rattle out of the box it is put up to
the school teachers and the school children to put it over.
And the disheartening feature of the business is that-the
teacher.-, and pupils have had this sort of thing so effectual
ly drilled into them the past two or three years that they
,-eem to think they have to 'fall' for every fool demand made
(in them.
The action of I lie recent teachers' institute in this city
in iw-iohing that in the future all out.side requests for aid
innii the schools he refused and that in the future the
teachers should put in their time, during school hours in
teaching and the pupils should pat in the their time study
ing was along the right line the trouble being that they left
too many strings attached to the matter, when they except
ed such movements as are 'fostered by educational authori
ties,' which in this milk survey business seems to include
the Oregon Dairy Council.
Now nobody is disposed to deny that milk is a good
food and should be used freely by people who like it, includ
ing school children, but the same claim may be made and
substantiated regarding potatoes, turnips, and even the
meek and lowly niangelwurtzel, or stock beet which is
given credit for saving from actual starvation entire na-
,f mini-jp r, j, tnv. minuni eilllHre dun lip- the
r
ating an unusual demand for milk in order that the present'
high price of the fluid may be boosted to a still higher!
higher level and, assuming that this view is correct it,
should be evident to everybody that the public school is not '
the place to carry on such propaganda. Most fathers and;
mothers in Oregon will buy all the milk for their children
that they can afford to buy after supplying them with
bread and meat and potatoes with an occasional pie or
cookie, to sav.nothing of shoes and stockings and clothing
and the straightout holdup as practiced by the schoolbook
trust.
This being a time of strikes it looks like the time has
bout arrived when the parents' of the country should
strike against the continual interference of professional re
formers and nosey uplifters who insist on poking around
into the private family affairs of the people. If the time
has arrived when the real mothers of the country do not
know as much about rearing their children as do these cork
screw spinisters, be-spectacled" professors or self-seeking
profit boosters its about time to quit raising children and
let the race die out. .

To the Herald's way of thinking
Portland did not add anything to her
reputation either in the matter of
hospitality, broad-mindedness, simon
pure democracy or genuine American
ism in her treatment of Mr. De Val
era last week when the city authori
ties permitted a handful of young
men, even though they were ex-soldiers,
to offer a gratuitous insult to
the man whotoday represents a
cause that is very dear to the hearts
of several million people in this
country who, whether they be such
by bith of by adoption, are generally
tpeaking, mighty good American citizens.
De Vulera came to America to
plead the cause of Ireland before the
iiberty-loving people of the greatest
republic on (arth and, according to
the piesent record, he has been the,
recipient of courteous hospitality
from federal, state and city officials
all along the line until he came to
Portland.
The Herald yields to no one in ac
cording'honor and glory to the Ameri
can soldier who bore the banner of
liberty and democracy to the bleeding
fields of France and Flanders; to the
boys who bore the brunt of battle and
turned its tide against the Hun in
grewsome field and forest during
those bloody October days of last
year. But In honoring these men It
plays no favorites and It cannot Ig
nore the fact that In tlieveins of
blood, which fact. In no wise, de
tracted from their fighting qualities.
That these men did their purt wil
lingly and cheerfully fn the world's
greatest conflict should be sufficient
reason for their comrades-in-arms in
Whose veins may flow the blood of
other Hires, to show courteous consid
eration to them, to their friends and
to the cause of Irish freedom which
they to dearly love, yes, and to the
little flag which represents that
cause when born by a man who luis
been delegated by fjhetr friends and
relatives on the "auld sod" to repre
sent the cause of Ireland before the
peoples of the world.
No, Portland has added no lus
ter to her fame as a broad-111 luded
American city by her recent perform
ance but she has furnished additional
proof that there la a vast difference
between real patriotism and bigotry
In which last-named quality all con
cerned In the anti-Irish demonstra
tion last week teemed to slilne.
The three objects of the modern
school system ar eto give the child
first, general education and mental
training; second, to develop occupa
tional efficiency; and third, to inocu
late a sense of, and ability to per
form the duties of civic responsibility.
These all furnish power to the indi
vidual and a fourth object should be
added that this power may not be
abused, namely, moral character, de
velopment inculcating the principles
1 of virtue, truth, honesty, industry,
perseverance, reliability, and a strong
sense of duty.
The tiis-.-t and the last have long
been held up as the principal objects
of school work, but now the modern
school is adding and emphasizing es
pecial training in vocational subjects
and practice as well as strong train
ing in citizenship and civic responsi
bility. It has become recognized as
the bounden duty of school aur'nori-
fties to provide for such training in
the rsmal ltowns and rural communi
ties, so that children remote from
the great centers' of learning may not
suffer thereby. When on2 stops to
think that only 5 per cent of pupils
ever get to college the other 3 5 per
cent are entitled to have the be3t
brought to their doors regardless of a
few cents or even dollars added to
the individual tax. Commerce, agri
culture, shop work, student control
of activities, cooking, sewing, library
practioe, teacher training and sim-
be added to the classical curriculum
to give students practical knowledge
of vocations. The Smith Hughes Act
probably offers the best opportunity
for schools to establish these lines of
work, especially agriculture, mop
work and home economics, for, upon
the privlsion of certain equipment
and facilities by the district, the gov
ernment will pay half the salary of
an Instructor In those subjects.
