FAMOUS APPLES
In a luU apeoial edition of the Ore
gonlau there appears the foliowinx
tyoopaia of Hood h'iver aud her f
moua fruit record from the pan of E.
11. Sbepard, imtiiiiKur of thu Hood
Kiver Fruit Urowera uaiou. It will
be of iatereHt to the home grower u
well at to those who are oouteuiplut
lag the purchase ot laud and who ure
almost persuaded. '1 ho uitiolo id an
follows:
A few miles two hourajind 20 miu
utei by rail from the "uiiitfuilloeut
eity of I'ortlund, netitliuK at the bate
of Mount Hood in all its grandeur, iti
beautiful valley tilled with a happy,
intelligent and prosperous peoplu.
Ih is valley is suirouuded by soeuury
far surpassing in its uaturl Lieauly
either the Alps or the Ithiuo. To thu
south Is Mount Hood, the uiout pict
uresque and beautiful snow capped
peak In the West; to the north In
Mount Adams, with its eternal enow,
and on the west thu Casoado liuugr,
the greatest of all Far Wostoru inoun
tains. IhrouKb this gorgeous pauo
rams runs the Hood river with its
rushing torrent aud rock hound
banks, the most intensely mountain
river neai the coast. And yet this is
not alt, for along the north flows the
greatest of all rivers that eutor the
1'aolflo, the majostio Columbia.
lleie is situated Hood Kivei valley,
known the world over for its fumouu
etrawbeiries aud apploH. Uo where
you will you will Hud someone who
knows of Hood Kivei fruit. On the
menus of the big hostclries in Paoiilc
Coast cities yon read Hood Klvor ap
ples; enter a diner on the swift-moving
tiain, II cod River apples. You
will Und HooJ Kiver apples served tit
the Waldorf-Astoria, on trans-Atliintic
liners, in Euplnud aud on the Conti
nent. To attain taia world-wide reputa
tion for its fruit has not been the
work ot a day, a mouth, or a year for
Hood Kiver. but the rapidity with
which it has loon achieved is uclhing
short of uiarvi loua. tieelutf the oppor
tuuity aud gri siug it, added to tint
ural conditions for growing superior
fruit tells the story. Hood Kiver ap-
Dles have mad) the penniless wealthy
and the well-t)-do more so, and of all
localities oilers the greutetit indium
meuts to the i rououtive fruit grow
er, be he itch 01 poor. In no othur
district are the returns so great, and
not the least surprising feature In
oounection w.tu this U the fact that
its grower are ropteHcutativo of al
most every proteesiou and occupa
tion. Owning oichardt at Hood Kiv
er may be found lawyers, physician,
dentists, editors, chemists, engineer,
insurance meu, school teaohurs, ma
obiulsts, carpenters, brick iiuihouh,
stonecutters, priuters, railroad men,
aeotion men. dairy men, oattle meu,
nursery men, college men and men in
nearly all li'ins of business. i'hot-e
men are not only growiiu fruit, but
growing it most successfully aud
profitably. In fact, it is sate to sa
that nine out of ten Iruit growers
here have followed some other prutcs
slou tor a good part ot their lives. It
would soem that this should p-ove or
at least indicate, that tho fruit grow
ing Held it open to everyone who is
seeking cbauge ot climate or Uuslnes.
To many, no doubt, the question will
occur, "oau tho man ot small menu
engage in fruit growing?" To this
query the best answer is found in the
atory of a former letter carrier em
ployed in Portland, who ton years ago
with a few hundred dollars purchased
land at llool Kver. lining industrious
be cleared the land aud set out trees,
taking other employment when nertes
aary for the support of his family
Today he has 'M acres ot nine year
old orchard, wbioh .netted him last
aeason t5U8.50 per acre. Ion years
ago with but a few hundred dollais,
tramping the streets of i'ortlaud, cur
rying a mail sack for Uncle Sam. To
day independent and owning au or.
chard that could not be bought for
$40,000. Ktaitiug with practically
nothing be has achieved a small for
tune.
Another instance la that ot a now
prosperoua farmer who came to Hood
Kiver a few years ago aud wont to
work as a laborer. He now owns 100
acres land leoently refused $1100 an
acre for part of it in live year old
trees. What these meu have done
others can do. For the man of mod
erate means tbere is still plenty of
unoleated land at $10 to $30 au acre.
bat a traot with a few acies cleared is
the most desirable for the reason that
It allows the setting out ot au orchard
without delay. At the sutne time it
aiforda him au opportunity, at Hood
Kiver at least, to earn a living while
the trees are coming into bearing.
While it is not frequently found to
be the ease elsewhere, here the or
chard ist can plant strawberries be
tween the trees the first year and
have them bear the next apring.
i'heso should pay a net profit of from
$100 to $200 per acre. Five acres set
out in this way will give an income of
horn $,00 to fiOOO per annum. As to
the cost ot living, a family with a
small sized place can keep a oow,
raise chickens and have plenty of
eggs, lhey can also raise '.heir own
vegetal. les, have them fresh, and fruit
as well. This means nearly all their
living except clothing and meat.
Homeseekers oau well afford to stand
a few years ot economy tor the rich
reward, as ten acres ot Hood Kivei
land set to orchard aud berries prop
erly handled means a living, and in
uiue years l.'iOOO to $10,000 profit a
year. It also means a competency,
independence, pleasant occupation
and lite in a climate that rejuvenates
the aged, keeps the youthful young
aud makes life worth living. What
more can one wantf E. H. Shepard

PATRONS DAY
AT HIGH SCHOOL
Continued from H'lr.it page
both mind anil body. These associa
tions aid opportunities the home
should furnish. In this way tbe home
training will help the school, for it is
a demoustiiited tact that boys given
to the use of tobacco aud uurestiaiu
ed as to tholr self-control fall far be
hind in their scholarship.
We parents realize how in one rami
ly there are dilferent dispositions to
be governed and the problems that
arise from this fact and we marvel at
the success of our schools goveruiug
h they do and can ouly account tor it
that by intniton the child teols tbe
sympathy and cooperation which
most parents give the teacher. If
taught properly the child enters upon
the new scenes and work of the school
room with contldonoo and pleasure,
helioving impliclty lu cue new author
ly which is placed upon him. And
happy the child who goes forth after
six years of good home training to
he taken in charge of by a consclen
inus, well qualified teacher. Muob
of tho success ot life depends upon
thin initial period. And does not tbe
teacher who has by earnest, patient
endeavor paved the way along the
student's pathway, denying himself
the more tiivolous pleasures Hand
ing tirrn to a purpose, meeting all
ilillienlt ion aud conquering, deserve
our utino't cooperation?
Then 1 think a more Intimate ao
piaintauce, a more social condition,
would lie advantageous to our
schools. Many times the kuowiug ot
peculiar circumstances ot home life
would aid much in the discipline.
Mother's meetings in connection
with the school are good in solving
many common problems
To no army of workers does the
parent owe more respect and alleg
ieuce tliau to the teachers of our pub
lie scliols.
And so the home can aid the school
by sympathy and ocoperatioa. by
surrounding the home with right as
SH'iationa aud opportunities, train
ing und governing the will and the
motive power, for this is the main
spring of character, by teaching a
cense of responsibility, for these are
the cardinal factors ot cba acter. The
child tr lined in this way Isstiong tor
hII the responsibilities ot a school
life.
Plato says: "Is not that tbe best
education that gives to the mini and
to the soul all the force, all the beau
ty aud all tho perfection of wbioh
they are capable?"
With ideals of education before us,
is it not tho right of the school to ex
pect from the home good home tiain
ing, proper environments, sympathy
and cooperation
Dr. Kdgiugton was then Introduced
and spoke ou the subject ot "How to
secure better results from the stand
point of a teacher, patron and pa
pil. " The doctor's remarks proved
tho basis of a general discussion
which became quite an mated.
At tbe conclusion of the doctor's
remarks, Prof. Cruuce took a vote on
the question, "llow many here have
visited the school before this year?"
Only eight responded in the atHrma
tive. Mr. Crouse then stated that the
law required, that be should file a
monthly report with tbe county
school superintendent, and' among
other items iu tbe report tbere is a
P
log tbe month." la answei to a ques
tion, Mr. Nett stated that tbe report
of this sohool (or tbe last month as
touoihng the number of visitors pres
ent is zero.
Prof. Crouse then requested a gen
eral disoussion on the sujbect, "Why
are there not more visitors attending
oar schools?" The following reasons
were given by various speakers:
We are so busy that we oannot find
time.
Patents feel th't their children aie
doing well.
Children are better taken oare of at
sohool than at borne.
We are of the opinion that our vis
its will interfere with tbe recitations.
In reference to tbe last reason Prof.
Crouse stated that he thought tbey
would, because it was such a novelty
to have a visitor that when one does
appear tbe pupils are ill at eaae and
do considerable staring.
Prof. Crouse then stated that many
of tbe schools did not have tbe neces
sary appeiatus with whioh to work,
ana that many teaonera were iurnisn-
lng material that tbe school should
supply. Mr. Netf said: "1 am not ao
advocate of an expensive npperatus,
and it is true that many teachers in
tbe county are supplying materials
whioh tbey ougbi to furnish."
In answer to a question me tact was
elicited that there is a dirth of teach
ers in the county due in part to the
tact that they do not receive wagei
equal to the other professions of life,
and that only a small per cent oi toe
high sohool student are preparing tor
tbe profession.
Mr, Nell spoke extemporaneously
on the subject of "School legislation
of reoent date." In discussing tbe
subject the speaker stated that tbe
last legislature had raised the stand
ard of the teacher. The previous cus
torn ot permitting teachers to secure
2d and 3d grade certificates consecu
lively in the various counties bad
been abolished. A teacher can only
seoure one of each in tbe state, 'ihe
per capita from state funds bad bi en
raised from $0 to $7, and this wo d 1
permit of better salaries and longer
eohools. That the districts must now
maintain a three to four men hi
sohool. Speaking ot tbe compuls Ty
law, M.. Netf said: "This Is the n
impoitant school law ot the last legis
lature. It provides that children tie
tween tbe ages of nine o 14 must at
tend sobool, and from 14 to 15 if Let
employed. The officers will La he i
responsible for the enfoi cement ( f
this law. Eaob district will now have
a truant ottloer. "
Prof. Crouse stated that the gr at
est hindrance to the progress of the
sohool is tbe lack of punctuality and
promptness in attendance upon tbe
p.it of tbe pupil. Mr. Nell said that
"If a pupil fails to be punotual aud
tegular he not only barms himself,
but be barms every other pupil in bis
class, and handicaps the teaober in
ber best efforts. "
Mrs. Hartley asked the question,
"Would parents be allowed to come
in witout knocking and remain for a
time and pass out?" Prof. Crouse
answered the question by stating that
the informal method of visitation was
tbe most advantageous. Come in un
announced, pass up and down tbe
aisles, review tbe work and pass out.
There is no advantage in the formal
visitation wherh one must conform to
an elaborate ceremony.
A. 8. Blowers was called to the floor
and spoke from the standpoint of a
director. He said: "As a director,
having been a member of the school
board almost oontinously for la years,
1 have endeavored to uphold the
teacher in everything that seemed half
light. 1 have given them the benefit
of tbe doubt. Stand by the teacher.
Children often come borne and report
minor matters to the parents, who iu
turn, report to the directors that the
teacher has oommitted a thing that is
woefully w ong and demand immedi
ate redress. It baa been my plan to
fettle snob matters outside ot sobool
boards. 1 desire to say that the pres
ent term has been so well conducted
that we have had no difficulty. Never
state to your child that you will get
after the teacher and make him or her
settle the trouble right. Such a couise
makes the child a poor pupil land in
cites the spirt ot rebellion. Tbe dis
oussion drifted back to tbe matter ot
school visitation.
Mesdamea Hartley, Edgington, Lar
away and Clausen spoke on the sub
ject. Mrs. U. W. Stafford, referring
to the subject said : "This seems like
a Methodist meeting. Parents are
getting warmed up to a sense of duty.
and to a more lively interest in school
visitation. As parents, we should be
more dilllgeut in this feature ot the
work."
In conclusion Prof. Crouse stated
that one purpose of calling this meet
ing was to lay tbe foundation for a
"Teachers-Patrons League." This
will be an organization of teaohers
and parents f irmed for the purpose of
discussing tbe various subjects that
are so vital to school and home life.
Notice will be given of the time and
place for tbe organization.
Tbe meeting was a grand success in
every respect and thoroughly enjoyed
by all present. The conclusion was
one of friendly greeting and handshsk-
ng. This public occasion mark a new
epoch in the history of tbe welfare of
Hood Kiver'a publio schools.
