This can be done only by means of teachers who will do in our schools, as best they can, what the col- lege specialists do on the campus. More than 500 stu- dents were registered in this school last year, and large numbers from other schools took sufficient work in education to be certificated. This, the largest school of its kind in the West, gives to Oregon the opportunity to have the various vocational subjects taught to prac- tically all its boys and girls. It gives annually to its scores of graduates the opportunity to teach their spe- cialties in the larger towns and cities of more than one- hfth of the territory of th e United States. F% ■H W l H fe?
