; j; Due to the alertness of officials of the American Legion
of Oregon, the son of a veteran who was killed overseas, was
" last week saved from the stigma of serving a term in the
State Reform School and instead enrolled as a student of the
: Oregon Military Academy. Leaving the family fireside
'through the aversion to a stepfather and threatened with
commitment to the State Reformatory on a charge of incor-
rigibiliy preferred by his parents, the son of a former ser
; vice man of Klamath Falls, who had fallen on Flanders Field
- in defense of his Country's Cause, was rescued from his piti
' Jul plight through the vigilance and efforts of Klamath Post
No. 8, American Legion, and officers of the Department of
Oregon at Portland. From stories gathered by Legion of
ficers, the lad, 13, bright and precocious for his years, simp
ly reveres and worships the memory of his father who was
killed in the World War and when a step-dad came into the
family to fill the place of a father "who gave the most" for
his Country, the son became fretful and discontented. Klam
ath Post hearinur of the bov's predicament and believing that j water the lawn today,
li wna nnt a nrnnpr Riiliiwt fnr the reform school, netitioned i 4
the County Court to send him to the Deaverton home until
. such time as he could be taken care of through the operation
. of the Endowment Fund. Consent of the Court having been
obtained, the boy was placed in the Beaverton institution but i action,
he remained there only a short while, when with two other
boys, he ran away. He was caught at Woodburn and taken
to Salem where Legion officers again became active and due
to the efforts of J. W, Valiant, State Service Officer, Carl R.
' Moser, State Adjutant and W. R. Canton, Service Officer of
Klamath Post, the boy was enrolled as a student at the Ore
gon Military Academy through special arrangements with
' that institution. Togged out in the regulation uniform of
the school, which kindly State Legion officials had provided,
Jthis exiled orphan of a veteran, in colors that reminded him
of those his Daddy wore when fighting in the trenches of
- Europe, stepped forth from State Headquarters of the Le
' gion, his face radiant with smiles as he thought of entering
' the academy, where proper training will fit him for useful
citizenship in his home state. Word has been received from
Klamath Post that as a result of this activity by the Legion "a
fellow who has always fought the 'Legion has expressed his
' willingness to make his bonus payable to the Endowment
I Fund," just goes to show what the American Legion is doing
i for children of veterans who made the "Supreme Sacrifice,"
1 commented J. W, Valiant, as he started from headquarters to
- accompany this war orphan to happy environs in the Oregon
Military Bchool.

I President Coolidge told the Daughters of the American
Revolution, that if the people do not want the government in-
- terfering in their private affairs, they must so conduct them-
.selves that the government will not hnve to interfere. This
! is the ideal that philosophers have long held in view. They
I have dreamed of a state of society so pure, that there would
not have to be many laws. In that Utopian state of freedom,
; the peojile would have such correct impulses, that they would
; not have to be driven into good conduct. In this selfish
I w.orld, that ideal is a distant one. But we can all do some-
- thing to make it come about. Every time some one hands out
justice and kindness to some one else, he helps bring on the
day when our present complicated system of laws shall be set
aside as obsolete and unnecessary.
" Twelve per cent of all the school children of America
ttre said to have such defective vision as to be handicapped
-in their work. Some children fall behind because they can
not sec the blackboards on which the work is being done, and
they are too bashful to ask for better seats. Kye strain
causes headache, which handicaps a pupil. Information is
: being distributed to school authorities stating the code of re
, tiuirements which is supposed to be necessary in order to
' jjirovide adequate lighting for a schoolroom. The older build
ings do not always have sufficient light, but conditions could
- in many cases be helped by suitable coloring on the walls, ar-
'rangement of seats and desks, the use of window shades, and
better artificial lighting on dark days. A well lighted school
room ought to be a cheerful one, in which the children will
' do better work.

Mr. Jackson and the executive

Mr. Shot well, of Portland, who
cooked for the boys last year
made such a hit with them that
it was decided to try to secure
