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. Very respectfully,

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.

Last Satunlny the Medford Iifl
school football team suffered defent
at the hands of the Ashland high
school team. It was only by a close
murtrin nnd the came was one of the
best ever pluyed in Southern Oregon.
This is the first name that tho home
team has lost for two yeartf and it
was taken hard, as it was only lost
by the lack of weight and not liv the
fault of their playing. Hut it has
had a good effect upon the team, us
every member of the tenm has re
solved that thev will win tho remain
ing games of the schedule, and this
week aro practicing hard for the
game next Saturday, which is to be
I played on tho heme grounds with
Grants Pass high schsol.
Several n&w men are out in soils
this week and some are showing up
exceptionally well, and with the re
nrrancoment of the team which
Qniu'h Hall has made the Medford
-people will get a chance to 6ce ,
game next Saturday like it has rever

CHICAGO. 111., Nov. 3 -The worst
fears that were entertained when
Johnnie Kvers broke b'B ankle to
ward the end of last season aro hold
the clover little second baseman himself.
"I don't believe I will ba In a Cub
uniform next year," Evers said In
discussing the probable lineup of tho
Chicago Nationals next season, "uii
flcult plays corao frequently around
ei-cond base, and a second baseman
needs two good ankles to get away
vlth them. I bellevo that by laying
off a aea?on I will come ba.ck In great
shape. If, my ankle doesn't feel as
strong aa'eyej- wjj! not sjgij a con
