The stale superintendent spoke on the

He advanced the proposition of con

This may' be accomplished, he said,
by allowing the grades to attend at

The visitors were greeted last niejht
at the First Christian church by Pres
ident French and Judge stepnen A.
Lowell. Following an Interesting pro
gram of addresses, music and recita
tion, the teachers and citizens of Pen
dleton assembled at Music Hall, where
an Informal reception was held.
The large ball room at Music Hall
was decorated with ferns and palms. 1
Numerotis-cozy corners draped In In
dian robes and blankets gave a home
like air to the place. A soft glow was
cast over the room by the red shaded
lishts. Numerous, daintily gowned
teachers served refreshments of
nunch and sherbets. The long line
nf ladles who received wus made up
of women prominent in local social
and club affairs.
Greeting by President.
President French. at the opening
session, briefly extended the welcome
of the association to the visitors una
Introduced Judge Lowell, who spoke
in behalf of the city of Pendleton.
Mr. Lowell referred to the work of
the teacher as greater and more far
leuching than that of the pulpit, the
orator or the press. "From the holy
desk." he declared, "the teaching
comes but once in seven days, but
with you it is all the time.'
Judge Lowell paid glowing tribute
to the work of woman In upbuilding
the moral and educational bulwarks
of the nation. "It Is from the self-
sacrifice of the woman that there
comes the strength and stability of
the nation."
The school nroblem. said the speak
er. Is one, however, that is yet to be
solved and It remains for tne teacner
by his untiring and ceaseless energy
and devotion to do It.
Superintendent J. A. Torney, of the
Spokane city schools, spoke on be
h.ir r.r th. .I.r. nf WnshlnB-tnn. To
do things, he declared, was the first
principle that should be taught a Doy
"T wnnlH mlher." he said, "that a
teacher would make a boy do things
to cause him to be effective in that
which he would accomplish, to be
mnnlv and Imorove his home life and
his living, rather than fill his head
with how to read and to figure. Our
schools stand for something more
than the three R's." The pupil's edu
cation along these lines should not be
neglected and neither should it in the
everyday matters. '

Aokenuan's Address.
Sparkling with wit and overflowing
with sound argument. State Superin-
ten.h nt J. H. Ackerman, of Oregon,
spoke. Jn his humorous way he re
ferred to the good tnat v asnuiBioii

receive from Oregon. "Washington
has made rapid advancement along
educational lines," he said, "Dm we

The exercises at the church closed
with a recitation by Miss Bertha Mat
lock, followed by President French's
annual address. Mr. French said In
part:
President's Address.
Th. true function of education is
not only to prepare men for better
living, but to teach what better living
Is. From the fact that our wealth
and prosperity now comes to us
through commercial and Industrial
enterprises, forces which are shaping
our educational system are largely
those which emlnate from productive
lubor.
Th. needs of the oractlcal and the
utilitarian phases of life are determ
ining to an Increasing extent our
courses of study. This is true as ed
ucation becomes the gift of the
masses and assumes other objects
than those that are social, govern
mental, or professional.
These standards of popular educa
tion, while narrow In their scope, are
safe in so far as they ore given an
educational and ft culture value, and
provide the means for the develop
ment of power and skill.
The commercial high school has
ends which fnlrly entitle It to con
sideration from this standpoint. Do
mestic science is a means of training
when it requires a skillful apprecia
tion of the results of the sciences of
physiology, hygiene and chemistry,
unri miiniiul triilnlnir when It becomes
an appropriation of geometrical con
ceptions of forms and design.
There Is danaer In these days when
money too often means power, that
the influence of a money-getting,
commercial spirit dominates pur pub
lic school system leading It to foster
that which alone gives prominence
to mere money making occupations.
The educnto has reason to empha
size today as never before that true
education is a preparation for a life
of service and honor In every walk of
life. Its true function Is to furnish
our youth with culture of heart and
mind that will give nobility to man
hood, and the necessary skill of hand

the last few' days have snaoiea ue.
ers to make a reasonably close estl-
. in. tntai nack on the Paclflo
coast for this season, says the Oregon
Dally Journal. Those wno nave ..s
ured It carefully place the amount at
" 450 000 casea. The " Bering sea
I'-.i-'i. ..tlirmteri at 800.600 cases, the
total Alaska pack at 1.600,000. and
.h innt nf the Columbia river and
other Pacific coast canneries at 900,-
000 cases.
The Alaska pack Is not tar jrom
the same' quantity as that of last
year; although some estimates say it
is short. There waa a slight revival
of the pink salmon canning Industry
thim year, since market conditions
have returned to a nearly normal
state In relation to this class of fish,
of the Alaska pack there are about
200.00 cases of pink salmon, oi ex
cellent quality. Unless Ihe domestic
demand for these fish revives at once
It is thought the Japanese will take
the entire output.
