EDUCATION "ARE
''' 'ft - ' x
A little bit of education and auto
transportation were on the program
at the Wednesday meeting of the
. Forum this noon, the attendance be
I hit rather bolow normul, only one ta
ble of diners and singers and ora
tors being present. '
F,red A. Williams, general counsel
of the Automotive Carriers assocla
(Ion spoke on "Modem Transporta
'(on," and declared that "the motor
truck and stago would be the salva
tion of Oregon, help develop her 16,
000,000 of tillable acres, and bring
the population from eight to the
square milo to something like Call
fornla and Washington, our sister
States." '
: -' The sneaker Bald hn had no critl
iMsnl to offer of the Southern Pacific,
but maintained tbat '"the salvation
Of tho state rests with more trans
portation facilities," and that tho
"t'nlon Pacific and tho Southern Pa
cific wore two fine roads, but that
they only run around the edges, and
fall to touch the undeveloped Inte
rior. . Tho truck begins where th(
railroad leaves off, and Is a factor
In tho future progress of Oregon."
The - Southern Pacific has con
trlbuted more than any other factor
1d longevity In southern Orogon. They
WhlBtle loud enough to wake the
dead."
i -M. Sf. Montgomery, local Espee
Agent, and William Lewis, local stage
D'ng, were listeners to Mr. Williams
remarks.
r Aubrey O. Smith, superintendent
ct local schools spoke eight minutes
on Education Week. '
"The building problem in our local
schools Is ono you will have to face
rocn" ? said - Superintendent Smith,
''and I wish you would visit the
schools today. Then this fact would
tmnressed upon you beyond con
tradiction. We have 200 more pu
pils than a year ago. It would be a
pleasant surprise, also to teachers
mid students alike to have you call."
'-The speaker also urged the busi
ness men to give preference In em
ployment to graduates of the high,
schoM. and called attention to the
fact that many of high school age
were not attending . school, "some
work'ng and some loafing." I
v Miss Gephart of the Y. W. C. A.
told of tho alms of that organization,
find -Its Americanization work among
fr-elgn. women In this country, and
'fj.be spreading of Christianity thru
cut the world." .
hi-Joseph O. Gray acted as chairman,
Hhd the singing was led as usual by
ttto Rov.il. E. Milliard. .
