Division; Called To Action Dear Fellow-Teacher: We regret very much that a very( small minority prevented the adop tion of the proposed amendments, and the nomination of state and county officers at the meeting called Sept. 16. It means delay, expense and much ex tra work for the executive commit tee. It was explained in the previous letter that under the institute con ditions of this year it would be neces sary to make nominations before the institute, in order to get the ballots out in time to hold the election during the institute. This of itself, it seems, should be sufficient reason for sup porting the proposed amendments. It is also pointed out that this plan will greatly expedite business matters and prevent a jam and rush at the in stitute. The executive committee is thoroughly convinced that the best interests of the association demands its adoption, and has called a meeting Saturday, Oct. 7, 1922, 10:00 to 12:00 a. m., in the parlor room of the Cham ber of Commerce, Oregon City, to give every teacher an opportunity to act upon the amendments, and help nomi nate state and county officers. In order to further expedite busi ness matters during the institute, Sec retary E. D. Ressler suggests that we begin our membership campaign be fore the institute. - So you are urged to come prepared to pay membership dues at this meeting. Program 10:00 a., ha.. Music, charge of O. A.

Just to learn how far we have comt. take a look at the present awl then glance backward anywhere fmn: throe centuries to times within the memory of men who are yet scarcely gray headed. Take a walk down Leyden street and gaze on the model log cabin of the type which was once one of the best dwellings in the chief resi dential section of the town (Plym outh), back in.4.621 and 1622. Imagine what fhe Interior would be lii: on x winter day with only one fireplace harnessed to a chimney which needed a woodlot to feed It, but was a, fine ventilator. Consider what the furnish ings must have baen and having com pleted this mental picture drop down several generations to the time 01 your great grandmother who used n smaller fireplace to do her cocking, or else had a brick oven instead of a Dutch kitchen or bake kettle for her bread and such, and the bathing ; facilities were well, primitive to say the least. Yes, and she used candles dipped at home and made her soap in the back yard, the sort which took off dirt all right and seemed to carry along cuticle with it. . Later came wood-burning stoves and still later some coal was used, but not so very much, for wood by the cart load was brought into town from the back lots and sold daily in jtown square not 50 years ago. Lumber was mi wed by hand at times and the lumber mills used the old slow single sash saw : shingles were rived by hand and split laths can be found in houses about here even now, but they are old one-,. Nails were made and window sasli formed the winter job for the carpen ter who was building a house. Plenty more contrasts wiH occur if one srops to think a moment and thinking just what the really successful preacher tries to get his audience to do. The foregoing is only the outline of the heads of the sermon about houses and their contents and sur roundings. Old Colony Memorial. SEES LACK OF IMAGINATION Cleveland Writer Thinks Blunders of ' School Children Are Less Funny Than They Were. "It doesn't seem, to me," says the Cleveland observer, "tluit the blunders school Children make nowadays are as funny as they used to be. And this, as the sociologist will tell you, argues that the school children haven't the Imagination they used to have. It takes imagination to produce enter taining blunders of this sort, as any school teacher will tell you." Here are two related by a Cleveland teacher. To the question, "What do you know about George Washington?" a ten-year-old replied, "George hit the tree with -his hatchet an' his father sed,' who dun it, an' George sed, I dun it, and his father sed, enny Amer ican boy can get to be President, an' he did." The other question was, "Who was Commodore Perry?" This was the answer: "He was out on the lake fighting an' he said, we have meet the ennymy an' then they turned him into stone.'r Cleveland Plain Dealer. "Dead Nebulae." There has been photographed a most singular object in the constella tion Taurus, the appearance of which suggests the term "dead nebula." It is a long, straggling mass, which seems to shut ,out the stars behind it. All round it the : stars are strewn thickly, but within its boundaries very few appear and it Is suggested that these may lie on this side of it. At' one point there is a small, bright nebula, which gradually fades out. The feebler portions of the nebula would almost suggest that, a large nebula exists here, but that the major portion of It is dead or non-luminous. In some places the dark object is manifestly darker than the starless parts of the sky around it. Washington- Star. - Motor-Car Boat A vehicle which is either a .motor car or motor-boat alternately has been designed by a Philadelphia company, the hybrid being known as an automo bile boat. Possessing doors that are absolufeiy watertight, the body of the "auto-bUat" may be screwed up high above the axles when required for use In surf. Then, when deeper water has been reached, the steering-wheel which operates the front wheels while on dry land may be used to work the rudder which is in readiness astern. Seated in such a vehicle, a motorist need fear nothing In tie way of water, though It be In the form of an inunda tion. AH that seems needed now is an adapted "auto-boat'i which is capable of flying. Portable- Playhouses. Portable playhouses are a very Interesting feature of the Hartford (Conn.) playgrounds. They have red canvas roofs and wire netting walls, and each is furnished with a small wooden table, four chairs and a set of wooden blocks.'. So light are these houses that they can be picked up and carried about to different parts of the parks and arranged in different ways in a circle, in rows as if facing fhe village street or as country places with spacious yards. In these Lilli putian villages children of the playing house age never tire of acting out every phase of community life play ing store and bank, going to -church, going to the theater land just keeping bouse.
