Memorializing as it does the names of more than 250 of Vactor & Johnson." ~ : . : .' y e o e who oper-t " this county's real pioneers, ,this monument represents far more than a block of chiseled granite. This stone symbolizes the courage, the faith and the energy of those pioneers who settled this valley when it was a wilder- ness of bunch grass and forest. It represents the toil and work ¢chat went into the building of log cabins and plowing of sod fields. It is a monument to all those hardships, disappointments and eventual triumphs experienced by the hardy men and women who pioneered in this Klickitat Valley of ours. Considering that the first pioneer settlers whose names are inscribed on the monumer t came to the Klickitat Valley less than 90 years ago the growth and development of this area has been unusually fast. The lifetimes of many of the individuals memor- ialized on this pioneer monument span the entire period of settle- ment and development in Klickitat county. A number of the men and women whose names are inscribed on this monument still take an active part in the business and social life of our community. These individuals have had the unique experience of living through a period of settlement and development unparalleled in this nation's history. In one Way the dedication of ,this Klickitat Valley Pioneer monument wilt mark the close of an era in this community's history. The initial work of settlement and organization com- pleted by those pioneers should and will be the foundation on which this community can build for a better, richer and happier life for its people. Proper utilization of our resources, better farms, better in- dustries and better living conditions for our people are all possi- ble. To achieve these results present day residents of the Klick- itat Valley must lmve the same type of vision, courage and energy that thier pioneer parents, grandparents and great grandparents exercised when they settled this country. 0 Need More Vocational Training THE ADDITION OF a course in shorthand to the Goldendale high school curriculum this year marks another sensible move in adapting education to community needs. In smaller school sys- tems particularly, it is often difficult to offer schedules that in' clude needed vocational subjects and at the same time meet neces- sary academic requirements. A judicious mixture of both types of study should be availaMe. In every high school, be it large or small, a certain percent- age of the students plan to continue their education in institu- tions of higher learning. To prepare these studen ts for their college and university training certain academic studies must be included in every high school curriculum. State regulations usually insist that these courses be provided. In every high school a still larger portion of the studen¢s have no intention of attending college or university- For this large group of boys and girls high school marks the climax of their classroom education. Naturally these boys and girls, and their parents too, are interested in receiving training they can put to use in their workaday lives after high school graduation. For these students practical vocational subjects such as shorthand, typing, cooking, sewing, agriculture, manual training and mechanical courses are the most useful. Foreign languages, English literature and higher mathematics have their place in any educational system but for the girl who plans to make her living working in an office typing and shorthand will pay far more dividends. This is equally true in the case of the high school boy who plans to operate a farm. The government sponsored Smith- Hughes agricultural courses offered in the Goldendale high school system are designed to prepare high school boys for the type of life they plan to live. Because the Smith.Hughes course does just this it has been a valuable addition to the Goldendale high school curriculum. " In communities such as our own, that are located at consid- erable dis nce from colleges or universities, vocationa l educa- tion should be given particular consideration. High schools must provide more than college preparatory courses if they are to satis- fy the real needs of any community. It is foolish to suppose that every student entering high school will become a doctor, a law- yer, a dentist, a teacher or an artist. Most of them will become farmers, housewives, stenographers, mechanics and laborers. To believe otherwise is wishful thinking. In ¢ he light of practical experience it would seem to be en- tirely practical to offer more vocational subjects through our high schools. ! The addition of a shorthand course to the local school's oarriculum is in recognition of this fact. Naturally business col- lege would be more complete and thorough, but for one reason or l another such past graduate study may be impossible. For those students this new high school shorthand course will open up job holding opportunities that might otherwise have been denied. O That Band Question Again BUDGET MAKING TIME is at hand for the city council. One of the problems facing them is what to do about financing the Goldendale band. Three years ago city residents voted a spec- ial levy to rainse the $250 or $350 necessary to finance the band and make possible its summer Saturday night concerts. This year the band's financing was flaken over by the Cham- ber of Commerce. At this time it is uncertain just who will be able to finance the band. The only way the city can budget money for the band is with the approval of the citizens expressed at an election. Golden- da 'a councilmen at the present time are wondering whether they should assume the responsibility of fimmcing the band and place a proposition to levy an extra one-third mill on the municipal; ballot ,this fall. Such a levy would rais slightly more $200, enough to assure the band financial support necessary for its summer con- cells. If Goldendale residents want a city sponsored band and de- sire to finance it through ta tion they should make their opinions known to councilmen. Dr. Wm. Chapman, of Columl)us, a preacher o,f the Advent persuasion has gone to Palouse to deliver a series of lectures on the authenticity of the Scriptures. The Doctor has been lecturing at tIood River on the same subject. He will remain in P*:~louse ~bout ,~wo months. It is not improbable that before very long some ,one will try boring for an artesian well in some of the dry spots hereabouts and find it so successful that we shall see the now barren spots blossom forth in the verdure of spring. We have got the land and plenty of it; but need w~.ter to make it teem forth its wealth in fruit and grain. Who will be the first? There is a bank of clay near the city which would make glad the [~eart of an earthenware burner. In con- versation with ~r. Joe Nesbitt, the Sentinel reporter learned that .tiffs clay tamped in the water ditch through rocky places, makes il as tight as cement and about as dur- able. What abou~t some enterprising ~itlzen starting an earth(mware establishment? We are satisfied that such an enterprise would pay. Prom the evidences presented by those engaged in fruit raising, it may be said that it boats running a bank. The sandy land along the Columbia river, where irrigation can be obtained, the peach and grape crop will prove a bon,anza. At two cents a pound for peaches it is esti- mwted that an acre of peaches will bring-in to the husbandman from $200 to $40J0 every year. And grapes, which bring readily about four cents a pound, will ro~.tize in the neighb'orhood of $400 or $500 per acre.
