franklin Teacher Edits Text.
A new school edition of Gueth's classic,
“Herman und Dorothea,” lias just been
published by Allyn A Bacon, of Boston.
The editor ia Miss Julianne A. Roller, of
tbe Franklin High School in Portland.
’‘Hermann und Dorothea” was the
model for Longfellow’s “ Evangeline.”
It is the product of the genius of the
mature Goethe and ranks as his lx-st
work next to "Faust.'’ It gives a beau­
tiful picture of sturdy German |>easant
life and has for its background the hard-
shi|>s of those who tied from the fury of
the mob in the French Revolution.
The editor. Miss Koller, has taught
German and I.alin at Franklin High
School sincejthe school was opened in
February, 1914. She has a bachelor of
arts and a master of arts degree from
the University of Wisconsin, and is a
memlM-r of the honorary fraternity of
Phi Beta Kappa.
Before coming to

l*-gan a systematic campaign to catch
the culprits and make an example of
some of them if necessary to stop further
loss to themselves.
On Saturday Last A. J. Krueger, re­
siding on a farm near Gresham, caught
three ls>ys from lx-nts in his Walnut
orchard where they were busily engag<-d
in shaking the unripe nuts from the
trees. Two of the boys succeeded in
making their get-away, but Walter

Mr. Krueger sought to impress the
ls>ys that he did not wish to prosecute
them, but that these depredations must
cease. He estimated that he bad suffer­

Mr. Krueger will prosecute them, feel­

to protect himself from further loss.
