V do ' Si A Plea for the Normals To the Editor: Thero is 110 .interest that so strong ly appeals to the average voter as ono educational interests. A week hence the people will pass upon the 'question at the polls. I sincerely hope their verdict will quicken into Hfo the threo normal schools at Ash land. Monmouth and Weston, thus giving a normal school to each of the three groat sections, southern, "western and eastern Oregon. It re quires 400 teachers eaOh year in JOrcgoli to supply the demand. Some W those arc orawn from other states, tfx few from our own high schools and colleges; tho bulk of them, it is sad to relate, are drawn from the eighth grade public schools. Tho 0. A. C. and U. of 0. have each just an nounced they cannot begin to meet the demands now made upon them for teachers. Our own young men and women are left by their slate without opportunity or encourngc-i input to enter tho teaching profession well clipped. Fourteen of Jackson county's .students are now enrolled in California normal schools. In tho , northern part of tho state the Wash ington state normals supply the op portunity for normnl school training. Educated in surounding states where jenchers' wages are good, Oregon will in most instances lose their teachers. The states that educate them will be blcsed by their work. Wo have a ( wealth of material but no mnehinory for its development. There should bo threo normal schools in Oregon. Every state in tho union save five, has moro than ono normnl school. Even Iowa, long pointed to as a ono school state, has established an other normal school. Tho best authorities hold thnt a nonnal school with from 250 to 500 stude-th graduating from 50 to 75 each ear civos tho maximum return, considered with the outlay. DiC Seorly, presidont of Iowa's only nor mal 'schorl, in 1005 said: "The. school is so large that tho average senior has but a mere glance- into the training school." The training school is the essence of normal school work. Our stato has at Ash land, Monmouth and Weston each a property worth from $40,000 to $(10. 000. Each has 'buildings, grounds, furniture and libraries lit for tho accommodation of 300 students. Tiie first great expense of establishing a normal school system has been met. Tho proposed law gives ample maintenance to each of these schools. C ireful estimates disclose that a taxpayer who pays taxes on $1000 would contribute but four (4) cents oa ch year to each institution. I t' ns southern Oregon will show her progressive spirit by again voting ii she has when an educational in stitution was up for attack. The vte in this section for tho schools u 'dor tho referendum of 190G was i. imendous and that vote saved the i.ato university in 1008. Just now t'irce measures thnt affect us nenrly n'ld remdtoly appeal' to us for suc cor. Let us make it unnnimous for the normal schools. The stillness of death pervades the old normal school grounds and buildings. Let us awaken this soli tudo with the busy hum of student life and forco open tho door of op portunity to the young people of southern Oregon and tho stato by establishing on a firm basis thoso schools which come nenroi to (he homes of the people than do nil othors.

AEROPLANES TO HASTEN MAiL Hamburg-American Steamship Com pany Considering Feasibility nf Aerial Mall Service Company Is Building Launching Platform. NEWY ORK, Nov. 3. A scheme to use aeroplanes In tho postal serv lco is. being considered by tho Hamburg-American Steamship company, which carries a largo proportion of tho United States mall to and from Europe. It is to demonstrate tho feasibility of aerial mail sorvlco more than to show tho war department Its dangor from aeroplano invasion that Aviator J. C. McCurrty will make his flight from tho deck of tho outgoing liner Kalsorln Augustus Victoria from Now York Saturday. McCurdy will carry on tho seat besldo him a dummy mall pouch, according to an an nouncement by tho stoamshlp com pany today. Colncldentally, It was announced, tho company is building in Europo an ocean liner with an noroplano launching platform. McCuprdy will fly from tho deck of tho Victoria when 50 miles off shore nnnd will follow tho exact route taken by tho outgoing steamers. If his attempt is successful, the Ham-burg-Amorlcan lino will establish a regular aeroplano sorvlco, launching tho air craft when tho vessols aro 100 miles at sea. Officials of tho company predict that within a fow weeks It will be a disappearing aeroplano that sea trav elers will watch, and not for tho first sight of Montauk Point. Tho aeroplano at its present stage of development Is expected to cut tho time for tho last 100 miles of the trans-Atlantic trip In half, sav ing nearly three hours In landing the most important mall.
