GOOD PAPERS
Read at Mothers' Meet
ing Last Monday
(Note Wc believe the papers
read at the Mother's meeting
last Monday will bo of interest
und benefit to many who were
not there to hear thern and we
have asked Bpace for two this
week and the others next week.
The wind and rain kept many
away. However, the score or
more that were present felt the
time was well spent. Reporter.;
Paper read by Mrg. Dr. H. 0.
Brown on "Recreation, Fast and
Present:"
We know that forms of recrea
tion change as do the styles of
dress. It has been said and very
truly, too, "No recreation is
wronir which really does rc-cro
ate. No recreation is right
which does not recreate." But
in the choice of recreation every
one should have regard for his
social aurroundings and the
elTcct of his life and example on
others. Sotno neon e say grown
uns don't need recreation, they
stay at home, but do they?
Where do the nconlo come from
who parade the streets at night?
They are merely looKing tor
amusement, recreation, but what
thev find Is not elevating to
themselves or of especial credit
to an American city. As a re
sult notice stations and nlms
houses are filled. If the roughs
who hang around street corners
could work oil their energy in
nlav or legitimate snort, they
would not be so ready to assault
and rob. There are gymnnsiums
for them to attend.you say that
is true, but there are not enough
to supply tho demand. For In
stance, in tho city of New York
thero aro 3.47G.47G adult inhabi
. tanta. There are about 150 pub-
lie gymnasiums and recreation
centers including settlement Y.
M. C. A.s. This would make it
necessary forabout23,000 people
to attend ono gymnasium. But
even if thero wero enough to ac
commodate this number thoy
would not bo filled, for ono of
the essentials of play is the opon
air.
Of course on grown people's
piny grounds the sand box and
sliding chute would bo super
fluous, but these could be substi
tuted by gymnnBtic apparatus,
base ball, basket ball and tennis
courts. Thero are several games
for adults which have become al
most obsolete in this country.
Archery is n sport much used In
past years, requiring skill and
practice; bowling on tho green
is another game almost forgot
ten, moving pictures aro given
on somo grounds, pageants, dra
matics and folk dancing could bo
made especially interesting.
Mr. G. E. Johnson has written
a special paper on education by
plays and games, and gives an
estimate of tho value of 440 rec
reations. He has gathered testi
monies of masters of tho art of
teaching which it is worth while
to consider. "Play is the first
pootry of the human being, it is
the working off at onco of tho
overflow of both mental and
physical powers" Richter.
"Man is wholly man when he
plays" Schiller. Education
should begin with the right di
rection pf children's sports.
The plays of children should be
along tho line of their future oc
cupation. "Do not use compul
sion but let education be sort of
amusement." Plato. The wants
of civilized and progressive peo
ple multiply in number and rise
in rank. Savages have few and
simple wants, but those aro firey
and devouring passions. The in
fluence of the highest religion
does not issue in monasticism or
asceticism, but in abundant life.
Meat will not gratify the desire
for music. A symphony will not
quench thirst, a prayer is not a
substitute for outdoor exercise.
There is a time for everything.
Piety does not remove the de
mand for recreation, or for pic
tures or for song. Healthy relig
ion flows into the interests of
existence amUsanctifies them.
Joseph Lee, president of the
Playground and Recreation As
sociation.made it evident that we
have had a loss of the play tradi
tion in which America was es
pecially rich decades ago. Mod
ern farm machinery, he thought,
had contributed in some degree
to this decadency, reducing the
proportionate number of farm
hands' necessary. Rural comun
itlee have thus become too
sparsely, and cities too closely
settled. The games of today, he
said, are a heritage from bygone
..f I f i
civilizations.
To have them die would be a
calamity as great as would bo
the loss of the inherited accum
ulation of good poetry and mu
sic. Children inherit the instinct
to play, but they do not inherit
knowledge of base ball any more
than of the Lord's Prayer. There
must be teaching, leadership and
encouragement of game playing,
and this is ono of tho prime pur
poses of the association. The
minister is continually asked to
day, where shall I draw the line?
The answer of Christ, I think, I
would be, there are no lines. He
would not teach that knocking
balls around on a green lawn is
right, because that is cronuet.
and knocking balls around on a
green table is wrong because that
is billiards. He would not teach
that cards arc right if you have
historical names on them, and
wrong if you have hearts and
spades on them. And as I have
already said, no recreation is
wrong which really does re-crc-
atc. No enjoyment is right that
docs not help to develop manhood
and womanhood. But in the
choice of recreation every one
should have regard for his social
surroundings and theeffectof his
lire mid example upon others.
MOTHER.
Wo had the funniest story
In our paper t'other day,
About a mule and buggy
That Beared and run away.
I like to died a-laughin'
And so did pa and Josh,
But mother couldn't stop to
hoar
She was busy with the wash.
Last week wo had a picnic
Out to Mechanicsvillu;
I went with 'Lizy PorgiiB,
And pa took Jen and Bill;
The time we lied a-funnin' N
Would beat a story book,
But mother couldn't go along :
She hed preserves to cook.
On Monday was the circus;
We hed a glorious time
A-seein' beasts and serpents
And birds of every clime,
Wo went in bright and early
To see the show go round,
But mother stayed at home to
sow
On Jen's alpacky gownd.
Last fall when all tho Rankins
Camo down to stay a week,
We went one day for walnuts
'Way out on Sugar Creek;
We took our dinner with us
And stayed the day through,
But mother couldn't get away
The scrubbin' was to do.
Tomorrow night's the concert;
I said I'd go with Jen
And Bill and "Lizy Fergus
And Sairey True, but then
After I'd dono and said it
Tho thought of mother came;
She never gets a holiday
That's half-way worth the
name.
She's lookin' worn and weary,
And it's occurred to me
To send her to tho concert,
If only she'll agree;
I'll stay and do tho dishes,
No odds if Jen does coax,
For mother needs a little fun
The same as other folks,
-Emma Grant Curtis, in Youth's
Companion.
Paper read by Mrs. Nye on
The Public Dance-What Shall
bo dono with It:"
Wo hear much at tho present
time concerning the social and
moral welfare of our young peo
ple and it is a subject in which
wo should all oe intensely inter
ested; always ready to do what
ittlo we can to help solve the
problems that confront those
who have such matters in charge.
Well perhaps it is not much that
wo can do; we can at least pre
pare ourselves to help the young
people of our own community,
for we believe a community large-
y to blame for whatever condi
tion may exist that is detrimen
tal to the welfare of our boys and.
girls. It is far better for a com
munity to aid in the prevention
of these things harmful to the
social lives of our young people
rather than wait until it has as
sumed such proportion as to
make it truly a problem to han
dle and one no longer to be ig
nored. The public dance halls
which h,ave become such a men
ace to society irom Maine to
California have attracted consid
erable attention the last few
years. New York has tried to
work out a plan to handle danc
ing more satisfactorily. With
over five hundred dance halls,
with an average attendance of
one hundred thousand a week,
ninety per cent of whom are un
der 21 yenrs of age and forty
five per cent under sixteen years,
and it is believed that fully eigh
ty per cent of the working girls
between the ages of fourteen
and twenty regularly attend the
public dances, Mrs. Chas. Henry
Meals, chairman of the commit
tee on amusements and vacation
resources of working girls in
New York, says' the every heal
thy and normal girl of fourteen
believes thut on tho first Satur
day night when alio receives her
first pay check she is a freo and
independent being, and she's
going to have a good time and
goes to the dance hall to have it.
The influence of the mixed com
pany, the excitement, the drink
ing, for thero is usually a saloon
in close proximity and a vicious
hotel annexed. All went to show
the necessity of something bet
ter being provided, and they se
cured a law to license and reiru
late all dance halls. No liquor
must bo sold or given away
where dancing is taught. The
presence of girls under sixteen
unaccompnincd by adults, allow
ing improper dancing or disor
derly conduct makes their license
subject to revocation. This good
law helped to some extent, but
it was not enough, and through
the eirorts of this committee,
who contended that tho city
must give the girls and boys a
decent place to dance, for the
past two years dancing has been
allowed in six of New York's
recreation centers. When one
night one of tho supervisors vis
iting a school house found ono
hundred and fifty boys and girls
enjoying themselves in whole
some dancing, while across the
way a notorious dance hall had
only thirty dancers on the floor,
proved to him that the new use
for the building was not wholly
a failure. Lust Winter neigh
borhood dances were a feature
of several more of the recreation
centers. Mothers and fathers
attended with their sons and
daughters and enjoyable times
were reported. Chicago, shock
ed at the report of the Chicago
Vice Commission, who after an
exhaustive research, reported
that without doubt the public
dance halls were tho starting
point of so many of our boys nnd
girls on tho road to Bhame and
irreclaimable dissipation, result
ed in tho establishment of a mu
nicipal danco hall. If this plan
is carefully worked out by ex
perts along this line it should
prove to bo a good substitute
for the evil aifairof its kind, but
it must bo properly managed,
and its rules strictly lived up to
or it will also become a menace.
Then system of registration in
order to secure admittance, also
having tho register open to the
inspector of nmusements where
they have them as thoy do in
Denver, and to probation and
public officers as well; if strictly
enforced must make them safer
places than they have been.
Other cities have done much to
ward bettering these dancing
places. Some opening the shelter
nouses in the parks for that pur
pose. Tho park department fur
nishing the attendants police
men, floor managers and tho
music, all indecent dancing, dis
orderly conduct and tho selling
of liqour strictly prohibited;
other cities have dono nothing
toward bettering the condition
of these places. A Portland manj
who manages a dance hall
through the winter months was
asked "if ho could keep it re
spectable" and he shrugged his
shoulders and said it was impos
sible to do so. It seems to me
that that would rest with the
proprietor but we know that no
self respecting parent will allow
their young boys and girls to
attend a public dance which is
conducted as a money making
affair.
Superintendents of amuse
ments tell us that young people
must dance and we know that af
ter having danced, no other pas
time quite satisfies a great many
of them. Working girls say they
must have the dance or picture
show, something to make them
forget the drugery of the day.
Perhaps it drives away that tired
lonely feeling for the time being
but it brings it back with heavy
penalties the next day. If they
must dance, then they should at
least have a decent place to
dance in and no city should grant
a license to any individual to
operate a dance hall who is do
ing so for the money there is in
it without all of the restrictions
necessary to keep it decent and
to see that they are enforced.
Just what shall be done with
them? We as Christian women
would feel that much good would
have been done if dances of a
public nature, with their harmful

The game was won with ease by

The Japs have much to learn
about tho great American game
of base ball. On account of the
many errors made by the visit

The proposed improvement of
Willamette ' boulevard between
Burlington street and St. Johns

An Immense Scheme
To remove Swan Island, use
tho material to fill Mock's Bot
tom and Guild's lake, thus giv
ing a roadstead a mile and a
half long by nearly a mile wide,
is a proposition which tho Public
Dock Commission may submit to
the voters at tho election No
vember -1. Chairman F. W. Mul
key was authorized by the com
mission today to open negotia
tions for options on Swan Is
land. Removal of the island
leaving a 35 foot depth will cost
approximately $3,240,000, and to
dredge to a -10 foot depth will
cost $3,0000,000.
While thero have been sug
gestions that Swan Island be re
moved as it is handicap to the
harbor and interferes with ship
ping, nothing definite looking to
the actual starting of the under
taking lias ever been done until
the meeting of the Dock Com
mission today. Chairman Mul
key has had Engineer G. B.
Iicgardt work ng on the details
the past four months and the re
sult of tho investigation was not
broached publicly until this fore
noon. To remove Swan Island,
fill in adjacent lands and leave a
great middle harbor is the most
monumental piece of public im
provement ever contemplated in
this community. That Swan Is
land has been a hindrance has
been the argument of the United
States Engineers, the Port of
Portland and others for several
years.
In the scheme of supplying
Portland with docks to accommo
date the vast shipping which
will come here after the l'anamn
Canal is completed, the Commis
sion contemplated the erection
of docks at Bridgeport and
Mock's Bottom, the former, how-
over, being just outside the city
limits. As bwan Island, owing
to its position, has to be consid
ered, tho Commission realizes
that the island must either Do
improved or removed. If Im
proved the cost will ho $18,000.-
000, which will give accommoda
tions for 31 big ships at one
time. If removed, say to -10
feet, the cost will be about $3,-
000,000 and give Portland ono
of the greatest inland harbors
in the world.
Computations made of tho area
and volume of Swan Island,
Portland harbor, givo tho folio..
ing results:
Area within low wator shore
linos is 205.31 acros.
Area within harbor line is
310.00 acros.
Amount of dredging required
to remove island, within harbor
linos, to provide a 35 foot low
wator depth is about 27.00U.UUO
cubic yards.
Amount of dredging required
to remove islnnd, within harbor
lines, to provide a 40 foot low
water depth is about 30.000,000
cubic yards.
It is estimated tit's material
can bo moved for about 12 cents
per cubic yard, if deposited
within practicable operating dis
tance of tho drodgos.
Based on the price of 12 cents
per cubic yard, the cost of tho
romoval of Swan Island for the
35 foot depth woud bo about
$3,210,000. For tho 10 foot low
wator depth about $3,(500,000.

Probably one of tho jollioit
