In spite of adverse weather conditions, thirty-seven reg istered for the conference and there Is no question but that all were well paid for their attendance. The first speech on the program was by Dr. F. L. Stetson, of the de partment of education of the- Uriiver-f sity of Oregon. His subject was. "Supervised Study." He pointed out the growing need of adequate study supervision especially in connection with the junior high school plan. Much high Bchool teaching is done by merely assigning so many pages as a lesson with no-problem laid before tho student. The present noeu is for tho toacher to take a portion of the period to develop problei.s and ul ns in connection with every lesson' to be jtudied. Mucu inefficiency can thus be eliminated and the student led U connect his learning with life proh lems.. Dr. Stetson has spent much time in research work on this prob lem and Is a very able speaker. Mr. J. H. Comby, of the Glendale schools gave. a brief discussion on .the "Aims of Study." He was followed by Supt, H. R. Marsh, of Glendale on.. "I3i.net Tests. ,J Dr. Marsh showed the meth ods or experiments that .should be useu to discover tho cause, of any backwardness in children.. , Kis sub ject is one which should demand the attention of the progressive teacher. At noon luncheon" was served by the ladies' aid of the Presbytoriau church at the clrurch basement. - In the ' afternoon -session the Misses lieu In h Morgan and Ethel Jaques, of Glendale, gave recitations. Then Mr. N. C. Marls, field worker of boys' and girls' club work of Ore gon, gave his address on the "Value or Industrial Work." His discussion was very important and one that must interest us all especially in tho face of the present food short age in the country. He very ably outlined the plan of work to be car ried on and made an urgent appeal for every teacher to place tlie im portance of food production before the mind of every student and to or ganize the club work in every school. Surely no teacher in the county can afford to be indifferent as to his or -her duty in the important work. Mrs. Jos. Winhcell, of Glendale, gave an -exhibition of folk dances by some, primary pupils. Everyone en joyed seeing the little children in their performance. The closing part of the conference was spent In a dis cussion on "New School Legisla tion. This part of the program was led by Supt. O. C. Drown, who pre sided at both the morning and after noon sessions. It would he well for every teacher to become familiar with: some of the recent legislation which directly bears on their work.

The railroad com pany claimed that this was not In accordance with the decision of the supreme court. The matter was again reforred to tlie supreme court which nns apparently held that the Cham berlain bill Is constitutional. lender the provisions of this act the land will bo divided into three classes. " Class 1 Power site lands, which includo only such lands as aro prin cipally valuable for power sites. Such lands will be opened under acts of congress pertaining to that class of lands. Probably less than one per cent of the entire grant will be clas sified as power site lands,, Class 2 Timber lands, which In clude lauds bearing a growth of tim ber not less than 300,000 feet on each 4 0 acre sub-division. As stat ed above timber lands will be sold by competitive bidding in lange and small quantities. The total number of acres wlhch are to be disposed of under this act are in excess of 2,300. 000 acres. Reports from the clas sification work which has .been done upon the grant by tho government during the past summer indicnte that fully one half ot the lands will lie classified as timber lands. j Class 3 All lands not included under class 1 and class 2 are term ed agricultural lands. For such lands applicant, must pay the govern ment $2.50 per acre and settlement and cultivation are required In ad dition thereto. j It has taken ten years to get this matter through the courts. The rail road company has tried every pos sible dodge and has brought to its aid overy possible legal technicality, j The greatest lawyers in the conn-' try have been arrayed on either side' ot the case. The final decision means a complete victory for the govern ment. The humorous side of the case is that, much of the stock of the old Oregon & Claifornia .Railroad Co. is owned by residents ot Ger many, probably some of it by the kaiser. . . MAN!

The money is claimed as a result of the failure of the govern ment to observe a treaty made in 1855 which deeded to the govern ment all land west of the coast range between the Columbia river and the southern boundary and which treatv provided that a reservation' (of a strip twenty miles wide between Cape Lookout and the mouth of the Siuslaw river should be made for the use of the Indians and that cer tain improvements should be made.
