FINE RECORD OF AN OREGON EDUCATOR.
Daniel Webster lamented ever the sacrifices of "poor lit
tle Dartmouth,"
There is something peculiarly pathetic in the tragedy of
an educational institution.
The first of the three Oregon Normal Schools the one at
Weston has been formally If not flnallly closed.
By donations of citizens the senior class was able to be
hurriedly graduated, An obligation of honor by the legisla
ture had been repudiated.
But the closing act In the educational drama was carried
out decently, and In good order, and with all due formalities,
The alumni mot with larger attendance than ever had
their banquet ,there were the sermon, class play, orations,
songs , valedictory, diplomas, benediction, farewells,
There was a tremulo effect in President French's voice
as he spoke the last words to the class, telling them the
school stood for kindness, for doing good to others, for the
principle of the vicarious life.
Two gentlemen of modest abilities delivered addresses of
appreciation, from the outside world.
Trunks were packed, tickets bought, the faculty scatters,
books and pictures are put away, an inventory is taken by
the state, padlocks put on, and all placed in charge of
a caretaker ,
Thus ended the chronicle of the one backward step in the
march of Oregon's development.
President Robert C, French onters Into a larger field of
labor and usefulness if that be possible,
For no man could have worked harder or done better
work than he has to his credit in sixteen years of his con
nection with Normal Schools.
The work at Weston is torn down and destroyed when ho
had attained the prime of his powers, when he had assem
bled a most efficient faculty, and the choicest student body,
When the bat-visioned legislature failed to provide for any
normal school work in Oregon, Mr, French was Immediately
offered the position of educational director at tho half-mih
lion-dollar Portland Y, M, C, A,
His salary is much larger and he is given an Important
work, for which he is highly fitted and naturally adapted.
His Weston students will scatter to Bellingham, Cheney
and Lowiston State Normal Schools,
President French has done a great work for Eastern Ore
gon. He spent his summer vacations In homes of tho ranchers
romote from the centers, pleading with -them for education
for their children,
Ho secured the brightest boys and girls, and prepared
them for lives of usefulness.
- With his gifted companion thoy brought to those young
people tho gentler Influoncos and refinements of life, along
with tho training and discipline that makes for higher man
hood and womanhood, They learned to take a bath occa
sionally. Hundreds of young mon and women thus built up and re
Inforcod for a useful service were sont out by tho Frenchos to
bless tho country schools, .
What is there to take the place of this -Normal School
work?
Scoros of "olghth-gradors" In overy county miniature
misses sont out from county examinations with certification
ns school teachers licensed to practice on children,
Their only recommendation Is .their inexperience.
What a farce it Is In tho name of public education!
There are women qualified by nature, and who have the
professional preparation that fits them above all others to
educate children.
But no thinking person who has any conception of the
probloms of education can Imagine anything more absurd
than the system that arms thousands of "eighth-graders"
.with licensos to teach ,
Mr, French closes a noteworthy career as oducator, and
ontors upon a higher sphere of duty In the riponess of his
manhood ,wlth the respect, confidence and good-will of a!!
Oregon,
In tho meantime tho Eastern Oregon State Normal School
Will be closed for two years.
Buildings, equipments and grounds .worth $75,000 to
-100,000, with library laboratories ,grounds are unused
an onormous loss to tho state, to morality, to education.
In course of time we are to have one large central-Institution
to take tho place of thpo wfill-located small efficient
institutions.

SOME NEW VARIETIES
OF STRAWBERRIES
Qrnnt Andre, who has a farm on
Route No. 7, about 3 miles east of
tho city, is showing threo now varie
ties of strawberries propagated by
him. Ills father was a .strawberry
grower, and Grant "grow up" on a
strawberry farm, and knows all
about the big, red, Juicy berries. One
of the varieties he shows ho has
named tho "Alklro." It is a large,
conc-shnped borry, a bright red and
of flno flavor. It Is a strong grower,
and cnrrles Us borrlcs clear of tho
ground. It will probably provo a
vnluablo variety. ,
Another variety is tho "Snap
Shot, of good color, thimble
shaped, and also n strong grower.
Tho berry is of flno flavor and high
ly colored. The third Is tho "Great
Western," n bright, red, n good table
borry, but disposed to let the fruit
rest on tho ground. They arc, nil
three, however, attractive to look at,
and, tho 'writer can add, from expe
rience, pleasant to taste.
