The idea of a summer school, with its outdoor life and its recreation, is so different from the usual teachers' in stitute, with its crowded hours of lec tures and discussion, that practical ly a new world is being opened up for the instructors. Probably the new method will be found of great benefit. All work and no play makes teachers, as well as the proverbial Jack, dull; and t-ie utility of the usual teachers' institute is of doubtful quality, both because too much work is attempted in a lim ited time, and because it is usually held at the end of the school year, when the instructors are fagged out yrlth. the bard labor of driving basic facts of learning into the heads of youngsters, who want to learn, but who do not know .how to grasp the subjects forced upon them. With the teachers' meeting, instead, in one of the most picturesque spots in Ore- A GOOD HOME In the central part of the City.

MUST SELL THIS WEEK, Dillman & Howland gon, with three weeks in which to as similate the subjects of their course, it is not to be doubted for a moment that much greater benefits will re sult. The very fact that their life during the three weeks will be widely difler ent from their life during the school term will be a relief to the tired minds and bodies. Outdoor camping will come as a health-giver to all of them, and as a mind clarifier and bracer as well. There will be a nat ural spirit of rest and recreation in the meeting, that will stimulate the instructors in' their own work, and will make for the best results from the gathering. There will be games and sports intermingled with the more serious work of the time, and this will afford a relief just when it should come to the more serious hours. In short the scheme is ideal for the teachers. And, incidentally, it will raise a question in the minds of all that will bear considerable mulling over. The teachers will find that their ''school" is much easier and more interesting because of the way in which it is held; and quite naturally the thought will ocur to many as to whether or not some similar plan may be incor porated in the regular school life that belongs to the pupils. Teachers will realize that they can assimilate a great deal more at Gladstone than they could at any institute, and the best of them the thinkers will t:T and devise some plan whereby Vie school term may be made easier for the pupils. This meeting at Gladstone will do more than benefit the teachers, it is safe to prophecy. It will make them eager to find some new . way to bet ter school work, some way to adopt the "vocational school"- idea in still a wider sense, and to make school life bearable for all concerned. It will suggest to them the possibility of ' holding school sessions out of doors, of incorporating in school pic nics and gatherings the study of na ture subjects, of physics, of geogra phy, and such other subjects as can be more readily applied outside tr.e school room than within its four walls. And if enough of the teach ers get to thinking about this, arid talk about it enough, there will come a change in Clackamas county schools that will make them still more ad vanced than they are today. This is one of the reasons why the teachers' summer school, held in the open, will be a great thing for the county and the state. It will be an object lesson to the teachers them selves of the difference between craming a subject in a hurry within four walls, arid studying it at great er leisure outside. They will find that they can study more, study bet ter, and get greater results in the same length of time, and they will want their pupils later to have sim ilar advantages. Of course they will realize that regular school cannot be held in such places as Gladstone park; but they will also be lead to think how the dull monotony of school life can be varied, how help ful recreation can be combined with unconscious study and the result will be that we will have a change The Superiority of ElectricToast to the charred, or brittle, or soggy kind made in the tedious old-fashioned way, is relatively the same as the superiority of grilled steak to fried steak. For one-tenth of a cent a slice the General Electric Radiant Toaster makes Perfect Toast faster than you can eat it. It is Perfect Toast because , the radiant heat forces the necessary chemical change in the bread. This insures delicious golden Toast that fairly , melts in your mouth. You can operate tt General Electric Radiant Toaster on the finest damask table cloth. Its nsat porcelain base and cheerful Rowing coils add grace and charm to any table.

Educator, of New York EACHERS of dauntless courage and of self sacrifice are much needed, who will insist constantly" and vigorously on certain needs; on the need for the CULTIVATION OF THE INTELLECTUAL, VIRTUES not the least among the number, for they are essential to the well developed womanly char acter. LAW ABIDTNGNESS is one. of the most important of social habits to acquire. When Miss Jane Addams was asked some years ago, "What is the matter with Chicago?" she promptly replied that the great fault of the people of that city was their disrespect of the law, and she added that "there is a sort of GOOD NATURED, HAPPY-GO-LUCKY EVASION ON THE ONE SIDE AND TOLERATION ON THE OTHER, both among the more edu cated and intelligent citizens and among the poor and ignorant classes, when all of them ought to stand up for the laws and not only obey them, but see that others obey them also." - I REMEMBER AN EDITORIAL IN WHICH IT WAS AFFIRM ED THAT LAWLESSNESS SEEMED TO BE A CHARACTERISTIC AMERICAN TRAIT NOT INTENTIONAL WARFARE ON SOCIETY, BUT JUST GOOD NATURED CONTEMPT FOR LAWS WHICH DO NOT SUIT INDIVIDUAL TASTE OR CONVENIENCE. YET WE ALL WANT THESE LAWS ENFORCED AGAINST SOMEBODY ELSE WHEN HIS OFFENSES ANNOY US. THE TEACHERS IN OUR SCHOOLS FAIL TO TEACH SUFFICIENT REVERENCE FOR LAW., AND THE HOMES FAIL TO INCULCATE IT. for the better in our school system, and that the lead now held In t'le state by Clackamas county will he increased in scholastic affairs, and that Clackamas county's schools will become models for the rest of the world to follow.
