Additional Details:
Property for the State of Oregon, worth over $100,000.00, centrally located as to population, a school for training teachers. Don't abandon this valuable plant. Vote YES for Monmouth. Education of the boys and girls should be our first consideration. As future citizens, they must have the best opportunities possible in the public school - the great bulwark of our nation - for beyond this but few ever advance. All the other states maintain Normal Schools. The government conducts normal training. Oregon will have a Normal and Monmouth is the pioneer school. It is good business to maintain this plant and give the children of Oregon the advantage of the best teachers. If you pay taxes on $1000.00 it will cost you only four cents a year. Vote for Monmouth, and sustain in Oregon trained instructors for our rural schools, and give your children equal advantages with the city school. This will enable us to keep the boys and girls at home, relieve the shortage in the supply of teachers, settle the policy of the State on the Normal School question, and separate it from politics. Vote YES for Monmouth
