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.

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.
