Forman's the American Republic The test of democracy in any nation or State is the number of men and women of voting age who take part, both directly and indirectly, in the direction of the affairs of government. Applying this test to the State of Oregon it will be found that she is one of the most democratic States in the Union. For, in the first place, all women of legal age may vote and hold office; in the second place, the people may, as described later in the section on the Oregon System, take a direct part in the making of the laws.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Oregon Question It is morally impossible for the bulk of the people of any country thoroughly to investigate a subject so complex as that of the respective claims to the Oregon territory and, for obvious reasons, it is much less understood by the great mass of the population in England than in the United States. Everywhere, when the question is between the country and a foreign nation, the people at large, impelled by natural and patriotic feelings, will rally around their Government. For the consequences that may ensue, those who are entrusted with the direction of the foreign relations are alone responsible. Whatever may be the cause, to whomsoever the result may be ascribed, it appears from the general style of the periodical press, that, with few exceptions, the people, both in Great Britain and in the United States, are imbued with the belief that the contested territory belongs exclusively to themselves, and that any concession which might be made would be a boon to the other party. Such opinions, if sustained by either Government and accompanied by corresponding measures, must necessarily lead to immediate collisions, and probably to war. Yet, a war so calami tous in itself, so fatal to the general interests of both countries, is almost universally deprecated, without distinction of parties, by all the rational men who are not carried away by the warmth of their feelings.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from At Oregon: A Story of Opportunity It has been demonstrated a thousand times that pure, naked valor will not win this struggle. Untrained heroism, no matter how gallant, is magnificent, but it is not war. The trained, efficient machine is necessary to success. And the only hope for the development of. Such a machine is in the output of the nation's educational institutions. The war department recognizes this, and is anxiously encouraging the younger men to stay in college and prepare themselves for the wider and more useful service to which they will yet be called. There is only one road to useful service and promotion during this war, and that road is training. This the university offers, in a system worked out under the plans of the war department. The young American who does not avail himself of the opportunity for this greater service must admit to his own conscience that he is content to do less than his full share in this war.

Teal, Practical Workings of the Initiative and Referendum in Oregon, Cin cinnati Conference for Good City Government, 1909, pp. 309, 310. Cf. Oregonian, Nov. 28, 1902, p. 6, col. 1 H. W. Scott, ibid., Oct. 16, 1907, p. 11, col. 3. Although it was adopted by a majority of eleven to one, a great many people did not know what they were voting for. The friends of the measure had been working judiciously for it for years, had secured the endorsement of the newspapers, many of the leading men of the state, and had by shrewd management got possession of the political parties, to the extent, at least, that all candidates printed 'vote for Initiative and Referendum' on all their election cards and bill posters and were all lined up to advocate the measure during election: Many did not know what they were voting for, simply following the rest. H. Denlinger, Arena, vol. 38, pp. 83 - 4 Such statements are repeated by Oregonians again and again, both in regard to the members of the legislature and the people, and are widely believed to be true.

This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from State Manual of the Course of Study for the High Schools of Oregon This course of study in English is a revision of the course compiled in 1919. Its primary purpose is to simplify the essential requirements in English, and to give adequate attention to grammar as a fundamental tool in making and understanding sentences. Thorough tests in Oregon have shown that high school graduates as a rule know very little of systematic grammar. They are weak in composition because of their ignorance of grammar. This condition is not peculiar to Oregon. It has been demonstrated throughout the middle west, where decisive steps are being taken to correct it. Grammar, in short, is being generally restored to the English course as an essential factor in composition. In compiling the course in English, the committee has been greatly helped and stimulated by the replies of teachers to the questionnaire sent out last spring through the office of State Superintendent Churchill. These replies have been carefully read, and all constructive suggestions studied. They have had a decided effect upon the course. It should be noted, however, in this connection, that the selection of textbooks is not within the sphere of this committee. By state law the Oregon text book commission selects the textbooks for the public schools of Oregon for a period of six years. The textbooks now in use were selected in 1919. While the members of the committee on revision of the high school course in English had nothing to do with the selection of these textbooks, they have used them in class and regard them as generally satisfactory. Among the numerous objections offered by teachers to the English text books, moreover, no four of them agreed, and no particular textbook suggested as a substitute for any of those now in use was named more than once. The deduction is plain; namely, that no prescribed or suggested textbooks or course of study can be expected to meet the preferences of all.
