CITY OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER
PLAY AND The approaching open
LEARNING ing of the teachers'
summer school at Gladstone pari:,
and the iniation therewith of a new
plan for bettering the teaching staffs
of the county schools, is being loot
ed forward to with interest, both by
those directly concerned, and by
those who take a more or less gen
eral interest in educational work. 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. Near the Seventh Street
steps. 5-room up-to-date house
with sleeping porch. Good wood
shed. This is a BARGAIN at
$1500.00 and you will think so
if you see the property. 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.

Teachers Fail to Teach
Children Respect
For Law
By MAY IDA SPENCE. 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.
