THE MOItNTNG OREGOXIAX, TTJESDAT. 3KAHCH 6, 1917. 13 . .1 I ! DAGROUT PREDICTS RECORD GATHERING Assistant City Superintendent of Schools Tells of Interest in Education Meeting. 5000 SEE OREGON VIEWS Feature of Indianapolis Conven tion on Industrial Training De clared Tenacity of Capital and Labor in Their Views. On his return from the meeting of city school superintendents at Kansas City and the convention of the Na tional Association for the Promotion of Industrial Training: at Indianapolis t. A. Grout, assistant superintendent of the Portland schools, asserts that Portland will have a record crowd at the 1917 convention of the National Education - Association. He said that Samuel C Lancaster showed scenlo views of Oregon before approximately 6000 educators at the Kansas City convention and that this Item of advertising alone was Ines timable in value. He showed the pic tures at 7:15 P. M. before one of the regular evening sessions when It would have seemed almost out of the question to get a crowd. Mr. Grout said different cities were arranging special trains to come to the convention. Thomas E. Klnegan, City Superintendent of the Kansas City schools. Is expected to bring to the convention seven or eight full cars of educators, and I. I. Cammack, treas urer of the National Education Asso ciation and deputy commissioner of education of the state of New York, has promised 100 people from New York. As only 25 New Yorkers at . tended the Oakland convention, it can be seen what the size of Eastern dele gations to the Portland convention will be. Convention Fonnd Interesting. The convention. at Indianapolis proved most Interesting to Mr. Grout. He said that a distinctive feature of the programme was the tenacity with which capital, labor and education held to their angles of Industrial training, and declared that "the harmonizing of these is a necessary preliminary to any successful scheme of industrial training. Even should a plan meet with their approval, popular Indorse ment is still to be won. a fact which, no speaker seemed to take into ac count." said Mr. Grout. "Representatives of labor insisted that the present cultural studies- be not reduced and that, what they termed a 'reconstructed apprenticeship system,' be established. In this re constructed apprenticeship they ask that the whole of a trade be taught and not just a specialized part of it.. They object to Intellects being made stolid In the monotonous piecework of large-scale industry. Trial Plan Explained. "The representatives of capital who 'addressed the convention were some of those who recently made, with the approval of local labor unions, trade and industrial agreements with the . schools of Indianapolis. They ap proved and commended these agree ments. By these agreements pupils spend two days a week in trade or Industry, working under actual busi ness conditions. They do not play at the occupation, hut actually work at It, and they must accomplish satis factory results or be discontinued. Upon their return to school, studies related to these occupations are taken up." The Smith-Hughes bill, giving to states material aid in the teaching of industrial subjects was a much dis cussed law. By the bill 11.700.000 of Federal money Is to be spent this year, but must be matched by states. MOLALLA WOMAN, 80, DIES Mrs. Caroline V. Jackson Survived fcy Nine Children. MOL.ALIjA.V Or.; March 5.

BRIBE PLOT RECOILS Now Clackamas Gets Discount on Road Materials. 'GRAFT" ATTEMPT COSTLY Roadmastor Hoots Compels , "Mr. Smith" to Make Price Conces sions y Turning Over to Court $100 Slipped to Illm. This simple story, which concerns a certain Portland dealer In road sup plies, a county official and a J100 greenback which now reposes In sweet Innocence In the vaults of the Clacka mas County Courthouse, Is about a bribe whlclk had a comeback that was both strong and unexpected. The county official Is Thomas Roots, a Clackamas County ,roadmaster. The name of the Portland dealer has not been revealed. For the sake of the story we'll call him "John Smith." Here is the story told by Mr. Roots. Roadmaster Roots attended the recent convention of County Judges and Com missioners here. As the banquet, which was held In the Benson Hotel, was breaking up and the county offi cials were preparing- to leave, "Mr. Smith" shook hands with the Clacka mas roadmaster, and quickly disap peared In the crowd. Roots found a $100 greenback In his palm. Judge Hears Story. At first white with rage, he started on a hunt for "Smith," intending to give back the money, which he consid ered as a bribe. He was unable to lo cate the Portlander. however, and told the story to County Judge Anderson. The greenback was put in an envelope, properly labeled, and turned over to Treasurer Dunn, ot Clackamas County. Last week Roots came to Portland and met "Smith." The two went to dinner at the latter's Invitation, and over the table "Smith" remarked: "Of course, you will buy your road sup plies from us this year." Roots opined that price and quality were the first considerations, and "Smith" Intimated that he could whip the Clackamas road builder into line with his knowledge of the bribe. ""That money is in the vaults at Ore gon City, and the County Judge and I have decided to get some price conces sions from you in the future," replied Roots. "Smith Is Cornered. "Smith" saw that he was cornered; that he was in the same trap with which he expected to catch Roots. "My heaven!" he exclaimed. "Don't make this public. It would ruin me." "We won't make it public If you will give us a 10 and then a 5 per cent dis count on all supplies we get from you this year," was Roots proposition. -"Smith" demurred. The price of silence was too high. "Moreover," continued Roots, "we want a 6 per cent discount on our busi ness with you in 1916." "Smith" protested that It was Impos sible, but last week Clackamas County officials received a check for $130, the 6 per cent discount on 1916 business, and the county to the south will get a 10 per cent and a 5 per cent reduction on all its dealings with the firm this year. The 1130 check reposes in peace in the envelope with the $100 green back. Clackamas officials refuse to reveal the name of the Portlander In The Reliable Spring Styles in Famous Beautiful New Tub Fabrics For Spring NEW Hand-woven Japanese Crepes in as sorted patterns stripes, also plain Q. colors.
