Most of these measures relate, uufortunately only to defects of minor nature. There are grave defects in the system of our public schools. Who ever has given serious thought to the meaning of the word education in Its true sense is aware of this. There would be defects of some sort about any scheme of general educa tion. The publlo schools that are for the benefit of all are the concern of all. They are properly a subject of publlo discussion. All the people are taxed for their support. All the people are supposed to be beneiltted by them. It is said only one young person out of soventeou gets the benefit of our higher Institutions of learning. In this way arises the ar gument agninst tbosQ institutions receiving publlo taxes for their sup port. Many of the bllli introduced in the legislature are appropriations for such higher schools. Other bills propose text books to be supplied cheaper by the state. The present text book Bystem is an expensive one without possess! ug corresponding merit. While the people of this state aro obliged to pay the highest prices they are not permitted to have the choice of the best and the great est variety of the best text books published. This is done in the in terest of uniformity aud one more particularly resulting in benefit to one or two publishing houses. It has ulways . seemed to us that present day teaching relies too much upon text books and to little on the teacher's ability, As a result both teacher and child learn tho text book lesson in a mechanical sort of way and learn little else. Tho men tal operation of committing to mem ory and reciting lu a parrotllne way Is substituted for the livelier operat ions of the spiritual nature, such a the sentiments, and emotions, and imagination, that uudcrlies individ uality und tho development of char acter, We have not said all we wish to on this line, hut an educational official who has given a greater umouut of thought to education than almost auy man in the state sayB that out of nearly twenty thous and teachers in Oregon bo could not conscientiously employ two thous and to teach a child. His state ment reveals that there Is a great defect in the equipment of teachers, who are after all but a supply In re sponse to a demand that cumes from the publlo school system. The sys tem has grave defects that call Into existence a class of instructors not over two out of twenty being proper ly equipped for the avocation they follow. It U not popular to find fuult with our publlo schools, but we apprehend It is tho grand scope of of tho system and Kb still grander possibilities that appeals to contin ued patriotic support of people. They havo confidence lu Its ultimate suc cess and development. They show their confidence by loyal support. They hope for belter results. They have a faith that subsists on the evidence of things hoped for, rather than what they really seo. The two points of criticism oftenest In the publlo eye are the objection on oue hund that tho publlo schools do not teach morals, religion, or In other words leavo the religious element of tho child's nature undeveloped. Tho other obj action that often arises Is ovur the question of reading the Scriptures or the blblo in tho publlo schools. Often those who Had fault that religion It not taught ob ject most strenuously to the reading of the Ulble In tho schools. It is about these two great points that controversy is most easily aroused but legislation Is almost Impossible. L We are not to havo church or state, but we object to morals or religion. We aro to have no God in our con stitutions but the citizen must learn In Home way to respect his oath and know God In his dally life. lie is to vote as he prays but not to vote on the subject of prayer. These are coutrudltluus that arlso to puzzle the student of morals and religion in reference to publlo education. As we Bald before, all proposed legls lutlon touches only surface evils. But how aro we to teach morals aud religion in the publlo schools, says the distracted teacher? t'er talaly the legislator can not tell you how to Jo-t aud yet not to do It. In u higher sense morals aud religion are one. Cuaraoter ia the product of moral and religious aultuw for jfeneratloM. TUat our life U of di vine origin, that Um Auulljr Mid hoOM M iU ttltfitMt MpfMMtMl M oivllittd wioetty, Uuit wdimitoM hi Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U.S Gov't! Roy&lBaKirv ABSOLUTELY PURE our schools. This can only be dqne through the teacher. Tho new Hues of thought Insist upon an outward development from within, instead of filling the infant mind from without, often with .extraneous and unasslmllntnblo material. That Is a big word but It will bear thought. We must look forward toward im pressing the Imagination of our youth with the noble moral truths that stand out from the striking characters of old not of the Bible alone, but such characters as Jos eph, Samson and Jesus cannot be too strikingly imprinted upon a child's mind, but to go further nnd tell them of tho great truths and beauties of Hercules and Ulysses of tbo Greeks. There Is no lesson of moral and religious truths so potent for good to tho child as Homer's narrative of that wisest of men, who put aside all tempta tions of wealth and pleasure to re main true to his home, his wife and child. Or the lesson of Samson whose strength was from tho Lord. If a legislator could introduce a bill to make school teachers hold up be fore the minds of their pupils those heroes of morality and religion un til they were firmly fixed in theii minds and rooted In their Imagina tions thero would bo fewer cigar ette fiends, miniature baudits am candidates for the reform school. The truth is the ago Beems to fear the teaching of pure morals and high ideas of family life. Until this fear can be overcomo aud tliero can be infused into the millions who cross the thresholds of the primary schools the primary truths about right and wrong, the seeds of tho cardinal vir tues aud tho overlastlug facts of re ligion in its'broadest sense, of right living ahd right thinking, all make shifts of legislation will but aggra vate the defects of the system. A CUIU'OUAriON FltiUT. Ever slnco Oregon has bad an effi cient railroad commission a com mission that had power to do some thing, a commission that dared de clare the Labish wreck tho result of a rotten brklgo a commission that had the backbone and ability to or der u reductlou of freight rates that would stand the tost of tho courts ever slnco Oregon has had that kind of an ablo commission backed by law tbo corporations havo kept up a fight on the men who compose this commission. Bills aro intro duced lu the legislature to abolish the commission, to reduce tho com mission to one member, to do any thing possible to put entirely new men on the commission nil these schemes are intended to cripple the efficiency of the commission Bystem und rob the people of all protection and ull hopo of any relief whatever from extortionate freight rutcs and safety in publlo travel. The corporation managers make their boast that all tho members of the present commission must go. They do not pretend that the present commission has not fairly ami Justly enforced tho law. Tho corporations simply want a change because they have ull to guln und nothing to lose by securing new men on tho com mission, who havo not been tried by tho people, who havo no experience and would bo of little or no valuo to the producers aud shippers, and might be very usoful to tho corpora tions. That is tho lino along which tho light Is being made. It is the duty of tho peoplo of this state, without regard to party, while we have a rullroad commlusloii, to Insist that it shall be tho most clll cient commission possible. The state should not lose the services and accumulated experience of the the present members of that body FBOM BAOOKS STATION. Ed.
