FALSE IMPRESSIONS
CONCERNING SCHOOLS
I aiti not much inclined to trace to
it- Hource and rnrieot any mltrepie
sentHtion ut truth, for 1 hui couvine
ed that truth will eventually prevail.
Hut 1 ltd, iik suggest! l iv the Kditnr
of The UlMier, that it ih due the
lib h School teachera nod student ot
luhl yeur that certain iacitl and school
iiroaedure he coi reotly chronicled.
ui. g tli- taut few days teveral
pcriOCI hnve told mo they were in
fin ined that all the twenty II' u mem
l i- of the linviiv fu tut live
failed I m. t year. As a matter of fact
all paBaed at the tlaal examination
but four, one uot taking the examina
toiu until later and fulling, making a
total of Ove failures in thiH claw). It
m , .'lit he well to xtnte here that a
Btudeota grade in baaed, sixty tier
cent utandiDg for the year, and forty
per cent on tJual examination.
Members ot; the High School far.
ulty have been criticized because some
of their atudents failed. Any spine
less teacher can pass an entire class
icL'ardleaa of merit, but i want Hnoii
Kiver High School to stand for some
tliiug more than jeliyUsh methods.
t here in but oue way to buijd up a
high standard of scholarship la Buy
school, and that is to hold each aud
every student for a thorough know
ledge of the subject as covered in the
class room, inoditlld by a reasonable
estimate ot the student's ability. High
School s reputation is determined by
its graduates. A High Softool with
a reputation for thorough preparation
gives its graduates prestige wherever
they go. Hood Kiver High .School le
new. We desire to place It In the
front rank among the High Schools
ut the state, lo do this graduation
must aland for something. 1 do uot
demand that all giaduates shall meas
ure up to some fixed standard, but as
Jong as 1 have anything to do with
directing school work, 1 must insist
that eaob student, at least appoxim
ately, measure up to his or her cap
ability. Anything less than one's best
is a poor excuse to otter in one's life.
Last year seventeen members ot the
University of Oregou i'reshman Class,
giaduates of Oregon High Schools,
failed completely at the end of the
first Semester and had to return
home. More than ninety per cent ol
the students of Hood Kiver High
School are preparing for college uni
versity, or technical Bcbooi courses.
We cannot atlord to have any of these
boys or girls scut home iu this way
I nit. would be disgrace tor ure.
Vet this will be the inevitable result
unless wo make graduation from the
High School stand for something
really worth while.
The regular students of the High
School are, almost without exception,
iu favor of this policy. This briiigs
me to another matter, the system of
"posting" students, that Is batting
students that fail to keep their school
work up to a certain standard from
athletic and other school enterprises.
1 lie student body enacted this rule,
.it. a teacher was present when it
was determined upon. The High
Schoolteachers reported to me the
n lines of the students that were below
standard In their school work, and I
li okeu after lta enforcement as requir
ed in the atudeut body rule. In no
case was a student posted except by
the teacher who hod his woik iu
charge. 1 consider that the student
tiody deserves a great deal of credit
for this stand it took in making ath
letic sports subservient to the real
aim of our school.

DRY CHERRIES
COMING NEXT
Low prices on this season's cher
ries are responsible for a quiet invest
igatlon being made a nuintierjof local
fi n it growers into dried fruit indus
try. If the fruit is properly prepared,
dried cherries will briug a muoh high
ei price than is ever paid lor the
green fruit at the looal canneries.
A oetaln grower owning a large,
cherry orchard near Salem, has re
nently dried about 11, oW) pounds ol
dried Uoyal Ann cheiries and has
entered Into negotiations witti Calif
ornia and Omaha dried fruit dealers.
Samples have been sent to the different
dealers and favorable reports have
been received Irom them stating that
the Oregon cherry should have a
place in the dried fruit industry ow
ing to its flavor and general quality
To pioperly prepare cherries for dry
lug they must be fully ripened, pit
ted and well dried to Insure flavor
and favor. The demand for larger
varieties of dried and cured fruits
made on the desires by confeotlouery
manufacturers is growing rapilly.
The tickle tastes of the puhlio for
"something new" is adding to tin
question which has now become so
important that strenous efforts Btl
being made by both retailers and job
bers to meet the sternly oall for sug
ary, luscious aud wnoiesome oom
pounds. 1'ieseiit indications point t(
a possible market of the Oregon cher
ry with the manufacturers of popului
beverages, candies and prepared fruits
'I he introduction of the Oregon cher
ry Into foreign markets means the
greatest advertising possible for home
giowu fruit, for where one man will
buy a box ot cherries and take it
home, a hundred patrons of the ice
cream stand will demand the uregnn
cherry with their order.
A recent California observer, familiar
with such things, upon eating the
dried KoyalAnu referred to, was loud
in his praises ot the cherry ami pre
dieted that Oregon would get as much
advertising from It as California gels
from hoi famous raisin. Compari
sous made gave the Koyal Ann tin
oholce of the two dried products.
California has made groat her dried
giapes because she has no cherries
like we raise In Oregon. Oregon can
do as much for her famous cherry,
and, If sufltoieut enterprise would be
coin led, Oregon grapes cm old ta
raised and dried w.th equal success.
Once the market can be established,
the growei will have his choice set
Hug his cherries green or dried, BO
corulug to the pievailing price pair
Oiying this fruit re joints a giei t r
amount of skill and at entlou than
marketing the gieeu product. The
local cannery buys the fruit as pick
ed, taking "good, bad and indifferent"
and standing any loss. I shipping the
dried article, consul r ible attention
must lie paid to the exact degree of
rlpenoss, the pitting without destroy
ing the substance and a perfect dry.
That It will pay the grower to go to
the extra trouble In drying his crop
canuut be questioned when the dried
cherry will briug from fourtseu to
sixteen cents per pound This year
cherries brought greeu from three
cents down to two cents per pound,
while last year one heavy grower al
lowed ever 3,000 pounds to rot on the
trees on account ot low pi ices. If
there was an established market this
year many growres could have refus
rd the pi ice pal I In Salem and sold
at a tanoy figure to dried fruit job
bers iu the east. Drying our irult
has been a mooted question for a
long time but Investigation on the
part of the growers has never follow
ed. The present active steps are
meeting with such encouraging re-
BEACH
suits that it will be only a matter of
short time until a market will be
established.
An (Ifort was made last suasou o
introduce into the New Vork pie
counters dried cherries, but nothing
material was ever lesulted. New
oik City siiiplies itself and the
neighborhood for many mile, with
; ies Kverybndv who lives In New
ork ewts pies. It is not the lnw .- c f
the land to eat th -in, but you get the
"habit ' if you lire theie the urit
at does not remember, just lu.w many
jiies go out avert morning to be
eaten up. hut it is something like a
million or two. And tie 1 ea uty o
it is, there aren't pies enough lo go
aioond the pis eating is so itupea
dons in point ol ijiiautily that the
Oregon maxim that "blessed is the
man that makes two blades ot grass
grow where one grew before," has
been changed to read, "blessed be he
man who ate two pies where he only
ate one before." Oreat hopes are
beld out to growers here if New Vork
pie-eaters ever get their taste set on
Oregou cherries.
while we are waiting for the jiie
trade we might do something with
the confectionery man. At any rate
local growers are anxiously awaiting
for the Haul result from the present
active investigation and the possibil
ities following successful uegotatious
Salem Statesman.
Nora Scotia Apples.
Consul (leueral David V. Wither,
of Halifax, iu a communication to
the State Department, reports as fol
lows concerning the best manner ot
purchasing Nova Scotia apples for
the American market:
"the majority of the growers do
not shlj) direct to London. Ihe ap
pies are bought early in the sesou bv
the large growers and Hnglisb commis
sion mercnant, who store them in
warehouse situated along the Annapo
lis Valley, iu case American dealers
desire to buy direot from the grower
it would be highly desirable to send
a lejiresentative here to supervise the
election, packing and shipping of the
apples.
The average wholesale prioe of fan
cy grade Oravenstiue apples runs
Iron 92.00 to U.l: per hairel. These
apples sell iu London at l) 00 to
18.50 per barrel. The cost mine is
tluotuating to a great degree, due to
several oauses.
The grower usually demands cash
when apples are shipped immediately.
In uase the apples aie bought early in
tho season and stoied in warehouses,
tho terras are part c isfa and tho tml
anoe when apples are shiped. The
large growers would probably accept
dilierent terms if the financial stand
iug of the buyer were satisfactory.
Last year 870,000 barrels were shi -
ped from this province, and It is ex
eoted that the exports will reach
1,000,000 barrels In the near future."
