Occasionally a city department breaks away from routine and de cides, with what daring and trepida tion it is hard to imagine, to investi gate a theory. Why are children tru ants from school ? That was a ques tion which the bureau of attendance of the New York city department of education wondered about for a good many years. It knew that there were 22,000 truants among the 800,000 pub lic school children of the city. It knew that the pupil's home life often had something to do with truuncy; or it might bo the fault of the teacher. But someone suspected that the physical condition of the child might hAVn anmM.hinn. fro do with his dp- termination to avoid school and in Opposition .lo, Amendment Tak- iCourse of time the bureau of child I r, .. . , l1n1"P.rL o . , , , ,,-,, Portland, June 22.

Kansas had plenty of trouble finding teachers for the district schcols. The young women who vol unteered used to fall in love with 640 acre farmers before their first year was over, and the school boards had to look for others. The young men found that life was too lonesme and awe-inspiring and after a few months they dashed to the nearest big town. Kansas had a reputation for book larnin' to maintain, nnd she was in dunger of losing it. The problem had to be met, and it was met. On the district schoolhou.se lot a house- was built, a commodious dwel ling with electric lights, sanitary plumbing and a wide porch. Then the trustees advertised for teachers. If a man applied, he was told that two teachers were needed a man and a woman; and if u woman happened to be the man's wife, a home would be provided. If the applicant was a woman, it was hintel to her that if some male teacher would take her as his mate, a job for two was awaiting them. This scheme necessitated the con solidation of small districts, and a little more money than the old plan, but reports from Kansas say that it works marvelously. The teachers do not rasign at thi.end of the year, but are said to be happy and contended. The Kansas rural school plan may yet stir up as much comment as the (iary plan fur city schools. "DRY" COUNTERATTACK Of Coiiirse--Cliaitttaiii(qiia The Chautauqua week approaches. Now the park and camping grounds are in the best of shape dean and shady, ideal for the coming warm days. You see that expectant happy look in the eyes of your neighbor that means a whole week of outing, or a whole week camping out and a whole week of pleasure. And since a happy, pleasant tune means when you're dressed right, dressed in the clothes in which to do the things you want to do.

'We, the un dersigned, feel that there is a lack of logic, even from a prohibition point of view, m allowing beer and mtoxi- caLinir limiors to be brought into the state, yet forbid the manufacture of I boor in thu state.' This statement I probably reflects a unanimous verdict, j "Notwithstanding its shortcom ings, the friends of prohibition had Din nosed to give the present law a longer trial, but they now feel that they are not only released from any actual or implied obligation to do so, but that this action of the brewers impels them to accept their challenge by initiating a counter amendment so framed as to remedy the illogical pro visions complained of and remove the privilege granted to those who still wished to indulge themselves und give real constitutional prohibition to the I iii-upm oi uregon. 1 his new Amendment la ohni-f nnH I simply adds the following to the nres- eni constitutional provisions: 'Section Joa. rso intoxicating liquors shall be imported into thi3 state for bever age purposes.'
