CUTTING TABLE CLIPPINGS.
The Tailor Shop is pleased to report a
very busy and pleasant week. j Chief
among the tasks accomplished was the
con3pletion of many orders left unfinish
ei from the previous week, which were
in the hands of the coat makers. The
trouser makers are always busy, and .we
hope to continue so, for that is how we
expect to learn to do things.
In January, 1909, Nick Hatch entered
the Tailor Shop and Commenced by keep
ing fire, sweeping and cleaning shop, and
in sparp moments learning to sew, make
button-holes, press, handle tools, etc. It
is' now one year and one month since he
commenced what to him (then) seemed
an impossible undertaking. But when
he completed the first task the succeed
ing tavvas thus made to seem easier.
He was working out the laws of compen
sation, unknowingly, by doing faithfully
the task that was set before him a good
motto to adopt in our school life at Che
mawa. So, step by step, he advanced
in his understanding of garment con
struction until his knowledge increased
to such an extent that he found a newly
created interest in his work, i. e., because
he discovered he was becoming "skillful.
From that moment each effort became a
pleasure, each task a blessing, because
he loved the task and found pleasure in
the doing thereof.. No more idle mo
ments for this boy, who. finds himself in a
similar mental condition. He now is a
changed person he now becomes indi
vidualized, and that , individuality is
made manifest in the result of his skill
ed work. He is now on the threshold of
becoming a mechanic, an inheritance
that no law will seek to deprive him of
and a "something" that no disaster can
take from him, and a sure foundation
for a young mar. to build his future up
on. Nick Hatch is now a student of trousers
cutting and for the future all trousers
made by this boy will be first cut by
himself, and then trimmed, and- then
made, making him complete master of
that class of work which he undertakes.
So much for one year and one month of
training at Chemawa's Tailor Shop and
Chemawa has many such tales to be
told if they would only tell them. : .

CHEMAWA-NEWBERG.
Last Friday evening our boys arrived
at Newberg and after getting located and
rested up proceeded to the college gym
nasium to give battle to the Pacific Col
lege five. From the first whistle to the
last there was something doing. At the
end Of the second half the score stood 10
to 10. At the end of the game the score
stood 24 to 24. The referee ordered the
game to continue and after playing five
minuets Pacific claimed the game, hav
ing made one point from foul line. We
immediately protested that the game
must be decided by the team winning
by 2 points, but no anything to win.
After a lengthy pow-wow in which the
Indian tried to show the Quaker captain
the right interpretation of the rule in
the little book he gave it up, "With vic
tory bought at any cost we are the losers."
So we had to leave without settling the
game. It is to be regretted that the
game could not have been settled in the
right manner.
