PROMINENT EDUCATORS HERE

Oregon, Delivers Address Dr.

ly interesting.
of
Marked by a large attendance, at
tributed by the deep interest tuken
in educational affairs and the superb
fall weather, the Douglas County
Teachers Institute began its three
days' work this morning at nine o'
clock under most favorable auspices.
The Lane school, where the institute
is in progress, presented a most ani
mated scene when the session was
called. The pretty school teacher
feminine was in greater evidence by
long odds than the stern schoolmast
er, who is compelled to take a "back
seat," In so far, at least, us num
bers are concerned, in the education
al work of Douglas county. Follow
ing the preliminary opening exer
cises, Dr. C. F. Hodge, of the exten
ion department of the University of
.Oregon, delivered an interesting ad
" dress to the assembly, and for fifteen
minutes afterward a general discus
sion ensued. During the hour until
11 o'clock departmental work occu
pied the time.
Primary work. "Reading and Num
bers," was conducted by Miss Par
rott. In the grammar department
Prof. F. B. Hamlin, principal of
the Benson school, took up the sub
ject of "Arithmetic". In the high
school department Dr. Hodge ably
dt?e".ssed the "Problems of the High
School".
A recess was declared at 11, and
11:15 the assembly listened to a
splendid talk from L. H. Harring
ton, field worker for Industrial fairs.
v ho told of the immense advantages
of "Industrial Education". This
highly m port ant subject was gener
ally dscussed by the institute for a
quarter of an hour, when adjourn
ment for luncheon was taken.
Afternoon Session.
The opening exercises, beginning at
1 occupied ten minute, then fol
lowed a minute talk by Dr. Hodge,
listened to most attentively by the
cut. re nssombly, when the teachers
separated to re-ns.-emble In the var
ious rooms to consider subjects out
lined in the program. In room No.
:t Miss Aitkin and Miss Swinney, took
11 the discussion of phonics and
reading for the first and second
grades. In room No. 1 Miss Stewart,
second grade, considered reading,
language and numbers. Miss Kid
well and Miss Watson, in Room 2,
dwelt upon history, language and
get eraph.v. In Room 4 Miss Watson
of the high eighth, entertained her
audience in matters relative to arith
metic, grammar and civics. In Room
' 5 Mr. Hatfield and Prof. Hamlin ex
emplified low eighth work in arith
metic, language and history. Miss
Cook and Mr. Morris led in sixth and
seventh grade work in geography,
reading and history. This study was
conducted In Room 1. For a half
hour In Room 14 Mr. Crews, of the
Roseburg schools, presented the sub
ject of commercial arithmetic as re
lated to the high school work. In
Room 15 English classics was the
subject considered by Miss Kidder.
Foliowing Miss Kidders' half hour
with English classics Dr. H. R. Marsh
principal of the Glendale schools
spoke very entertainingly of "Life
Among the Esquimaux". In the base
ment Miss McCullen's "Domestic
Science Class' passed a profitable
half hour, and doubtless from the
instruction imparled will result
much that Is calculated to lighten the
toil of future housewives of the 'm

"And now, right here, I want you to consider carefully with me one
thing which made me feel sure that we had reached the Pole. Thi is the
subject of shadows our own shadows on the snow-covered ice. A seem
ingly unimportant phenomenon which had often been a topic of discus
sion, and so commonplace that I only rarely referred to it in my note
books, our own shadows on the snow-cushioned ice had told of northward
movement, and ulmately proved to my satisfaction that tho Pole had

More people were present last
night at the commercial club rooms
to hear tho proposal of the Everfrosh
Company than have been present at
any similar meeting held In the past
eighteen months. Growers, some of
them from eight miles out In the
country, were present as were n
large number of the business men
of the city.
The meeting was presided over by
Publicity Manager Schlossor who
briefly thanked the citizens for their

Mr. Mlchener proceeded to relntei
the process by which tho product was

An Everfrosh plant should run .
from eight to ten months out of tho
year and have a payroll of somewhere ,
around 51,000.00 a month In a plnnt
the size of one contemplated for this
city.
Uter explaining these matters In
detail Mr. Mlchener turned to the '
financial end of the business nnd
showed that splendid dividends could
bo ninde from the operation of a
Plant. The .plant takes and uses all
the waste product of the orchard and
Hie garden and brings in revenue to
the producer from those nrtlcles
which nthem-iso would rot in the
field or lie fed to the stock. He salt!
that If tho'conipnny would make ap
ple syrup at tho rate of 200 gallons
a day for a period of sixty days It
could pay good dividends on a capi
talization of $110,000.00. The same
would bo true of drying corn on the
cob.

addition to thin amount the compnnv
should have about $5,000.00 work

vestment of about $15,000.00. Tho
company would be organized for

Products Company would not ask a
single dollar In ensh from the sub
sidiary company horo hut would turn
over all of Its patents and all thnt It
might subsequently acquire for a
minority Interest In the local com
pany. In other words for the use of
the patents the parent company
would expect 40 por cent of the stock
of the local company. The local com
pnny would elect Its own directors
and have absolute control of the coin
pnny and Its product would be han
dled on a commission basis by the
parent company.
Mr. Mlchener was asked by one of
tho persons present what there
i to prevent tho parent company buy-
Ing two or more shares and getting
control of tho locul company and
. Mr. Mlchener stated rrankly that
1 there was nothing to prevent It, Lat
I or on, however, It was suggested that
.no mini nioCK, amounting lO 51 )OP
cent of tho whole could be pooled or
placed In 11 trusteeship which would
preclude the parent company from
purchasing uny of It during tho life
of the pool or trusteeship.
Considerable Interest was display

Tho answers wero all straightforward
and satisfactory.
Finally on motion of Carl D. Shoe
