S. Landers, Monmouth, Oregon, President of Oregon Normal School: “The Eastern Oregon Normal School problem is one that affects the West ern part of the state equally strong and there should be no lack of support for the Eastern Oregon Normal School measure in any part of the State.” A. C. Hampton, Astoria, Ore., Superintendent Astoria Public Schools: “I have done most of my school work in Eastern Oregon and I feel that I know some things about that great section of our state. I am convinced that it is a section of our state. I am convinced that it is a stetion that has not been thouroughly understood by the people living in the more thickly populate!’ area west of the Cascades. The people of Eastern Oregon are alert and energetic in this business; have the interests of the wsole commonwealth at heart; and have always been friends and supporters of education in the state. Thtse people need teacher training institution. The nearest Normal now is hundreds of miles away from the larger towns in Eastern Oregon, and the result is that the most promising young people do not prepare for the important proftssion of teaching. I say, give the children of this part of the state a chance and give Eastern Oregon at least one state educational in stitution for at the present time she has none.” BF FAIR TO THE CHILDREN OF Eastern Ore VOTE 310 X YES Paid Adv.
