OltK(JON STATE SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF
Tills Institution was established
In 1870 In connection with the
.School for Wind, but later tho two
woro M'parated. Its object is purely
educational. Its peculiar function is
to afford tho necessary, modern, cen
tralized facilities for educating the
deaf, giving them as far as posslblo
and to a remarkable degree a com
mand of written language, ability to
speak and to read speech from the
movement of tho lips, and sufficient
practical Industrial training to fit
lliom to be Independent, self-supporting,
helpful citizens. It is free for
the sumo reuHons thn public schools
ire free. Trained teachers and tho
most modem methods are employed.
Tho literary work covers all grades
from tho most olomentary to first
year IiIrIi school. Great emphasis is
placid upon vocational training.
I'rinting, carpentry and woodwork
ing, farm and garncn work and the
euro of poultry, cooking, laundering,
fancy sowing and dressmaking, and
when? Simplified spelling rests on
reason, economy, and authority.
Reason dictates, that whnt we write
or print should represent only and
exactly what we bear or speak. Econ
omy requires us to reject useless let
tors. The teaching, learning, writ
ing nnd printing of useless letters
cost untold money nnd time.
Tho St. Helens schools aro pro
grossing splendidly under the ellici
iMit management of I'rofessor linker
and his ahlo assistants. Ht. Helens
has sixteen teachers, six men and
ton women, and wo aro Justly proud
of them all. The new men this year
are J. II. McCoy, C. E. Ostrander, 0.
E. I.ako and P. J. Stcn. Tho new
women aro Miss Itankin, Miss Perry,
Miss I.elth, Miss Ilotsford and Miss
Welst. Tho hold-over teachers who
woro here last year, are I.. L. linker,
Jr., J. I). Ilrehnut, Miss Ethel Mut
thows, Mrs. Amanda I.ako, Mrs. Anna
Sauror and Miss Helen Duns.
Tho High Schools of Columbia
county nro composed of a splendid
student body of two hondred fifty
most excellont young men and wom
on, which soon must be a great force
for Rood. Why not equip a few of
Ihoso fine young people for teachers?
At present, sixty per cent of our
tounhors havo to be imported.
What la good discipline? No two
teachers or patrons will exactly agree
on this question. Thore Is lack of
uniformity nnd much diversity of
opinion concerning this question.
Discipline means training, control,
culturo, chastisement, correction,
etc., and loads to ordor. Order means
conformity to law and decorum;
freedom of disturbance, general tran
quility and public quiet. The Coun
ty Superintendent Is an adherent of
good discipline, and believes it to be
the basic principle and foundation of
every good school. Good discipline
is opposed to nolso, disturbance, con
fusion, etc. It means quiet; It nieuiiB
llttlo John Doo in his own seat, at
tending to his own business In the
qulotest mannor. John Doe 1b at
tending to his own affairs only; he
disturbs no ono, and no one disturbs
him. Ho does not communicate with
other pupils during school except on
very rare occasions, and then only by
permission. .

INTERESTING
POINTS
AT COMMERCIAL CLUB
RoMirt From Ijind Show Count
Agriculturist PropoHed.
Points of interest in the St. Helens
Commercial Club meeting: A fine
report was had from John Philip in
regard to the recent Manufacturers'
and Land Products show, held In
Portland. Our booth was so situated
as to command attention from all
who entered the building, and was
most attractively arranged by the
combined efforts of Asa Smith from
the Ciatskante Development League,
and was spoken of as a decided suc
cess by the show management.
The grasses were not so well rep
resented as they should have been,
considering the fine quality produced
here, and it was one of the best, even
as it was. It proved conclusively that
more attention must be given to mak
ing of this affair one of publicity.
more than was possible at this time,
and thus show to the people at large
the possibilities of our county. We
received a grand medal and also a
fine engraved certificate from the
management of this show for our dis
play. We also had a letter from the Port
land Chamber of Commerce asking us
to aid in securing the services of a
county agriculturist, as it was shown
that by intelligent farming much
more could be produced, and this to
the advantage of the farmer, and as
this expense is mostly borne by the
government and the state, it would be
only a small expense to the county;
and this is already In operation In
some ten or more counties in the
state now. Tills will be taken up
with the Warren Grange and they
will be requested to act upon the mat
ter and have the support of the club.
The government aid given for this
work is under the Smith-Lever act, as
passed in congress May 8, 1914, al
lowing $10,000 for each of the 48
states.
ARE YOU A MUT?
For the season's work the Muts
have organized and are at work. The
Mut headquarters is In the Hewitt
building, the store room between the
Independent Auto Co. and the St.
Helens Improvement Co., and just
opposite the St. Helens hotel. A. T.
Laws will be at headquarters most
of the time and will receive your con
tribution money, food or clothing.
The Muts have enlisted the services
of many good women to help them in
this work and we want to serve all
those who are less fortunate than
ourselves. The meaning of the word
Muts bo far as we are concerned, is
"Make Unfortunates to Smile." We
ask your co-operation in this work.
Very respectfully,
MARTIN WHITE, Big Mut.
