Others are anaemic, or lisp, or are childish, or retarded in mental or moral development. If the entire twelve abnormal ones had exactly the same thing the matter with them, it would be easy to make a separate class for them, but with only one or two of the twelve requiring the same special attention, the matter becomes a serious problem in public education. There has been some effort to meet and solve this problem, but only in a tentative way. Medical examination has become an actual and practical tlung in a few cities, and only a theoretical one in others. When systemati cally and fully done, and the needed medical and surgical aid given, many of these abnormal cases become normal. Others, however, especially the men tal defectives, cannot be made normal by such means. Our public school system is defective to the degree that it does not thus diagnose children as they enter the kindergarten or primary grade, and separate the normal from the abnormal, giving the latter the attention necessary to create normality, or the special care and instruction needed because that can not be done. Any man ufacturer who found 12 per cent of his raw material unsuited to his machin ery would do something to render the two more adaptable. -" If he did not be would deserve to fail in business. That the public school system will make progress in this direction can not be doubted. The very investigation of the subject in this way by the bureau of education is sufficient evidence of the beginning of wisdom. And with knowledge progress is sure to be made. CITY OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER. THE WIFE OF A wealthy business man in the face of her husband's pessimism as to the outcome of the experiment, announces that she decided to become mother by adoption of fifteen children, each to represent a characteristic racial type. She wants none over a year old. She will leave the hotel in which she and her husband have been living and oc cupy a house in the outskirts of the city. She expects to be a mother of them all and bring them up like brothers and sisters of "an American family of moderate means." Waiving the question as to whether an American family of moderate means could support fifteen children, the experiment will be watched with considerable interest, futile as it may be in solution of race problems. The chief value of her trial will be in demonstrating whether education and environment are more potent than heredity in forming character. The discussion of this subject has not been confined to country "literaries." To make a fair test the children should be carefully picked from the same classes. The difficulty of doing this is apparent. But at the outset there will be other insuperable difficulties. She intends to send the children to the public schools. While they may be treated with absolute equality at home it is too much to expect public school children to join the wealthy woman in her ex periment. 1 hey will discriminate against some ot the children. 1 his will give rise to dissension among the heterogeneous household or else the mem bers wll have to flock by themselves and thus miss one of the most valuable influences of the public school system. But if she should succeed in getting these children to respect each other and become brothers and sisters in sentiment, what would be the value, ex cept to show that if brought up together, under the same rules and conditions, members of different races might become amicable? How would we set about getting the different races to adopt a uniform system of education and a uniform set of social and moral regulations? And how can she be sure that her adopted children will be sincere in their supposed affection for each other, there being such a premium on pretense ? The experiment is attended with many uncertainties. Some people will hoot at it altogether, pointing out that real brothers and sisters often show the widest differences in char acter, ability and tastes. But nothing should be said to discourage the wom an. Her experiment will give a home and schooling to fifteen youngsters of different nationalities. Her friends say her family will be called an Ameri can zoo. Let us hope that vistors' days will be infrequent. It would be a pity to make mere exhibits out of the children." O EN A STUDY OF abnormalities in school children, by Dr. Arnold Gesell, published by the United States Bureau of Education, the state ment is made that 12 in every 100 children who enter a kindergarten, or primary school, are not normal in some respect and need special treatment. Two of these twelve he says are above normal in intellectual activity, one of the two only superficially so and the other actually of a high degree of men tality and capable of making far greater progress in study than the remainder of the class. The other ten are deficient in some respect. Some of them are defective in some physical matter which could be remedied by medical or sur gical attention, and their normality restored. Others are more permanently defective, and require special and personal attention, which can not be given in the regular classes. Special classes or methods of handling for these abnor mal ones Dr. Gesell declares is necessary. One of the ten is feeble minded, and should be entriely separated from, the others in a school conducted for the development of such cases. There arc a number of priviate institutions in the country for such defectives, but all parents have not means of sending their children to them. One stutters. This also requires special attention, both medical and instructive. Stuttering If sickness, accident or loss of position cuts off your income, a snug sum in the bank tides you over without dis tress.

DILLMAN & HOWLAND WE REPAIR ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING MILLER-PARKER COMPANY Next Door to Bonk of Oregon City REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS In The Social Whirl! America Needs Many More Skilled Workers By RALPH ADAMS CRAM, Architect of New York THE American architect is handicapped almost fatally by the LACK OF GOOD AETIFICERS to work out the detail. Apart from the industrial arts in their relation to architecture, their importance in this country, where art manufactures or art products are so enormously in demand, is too obvious to need demonstration. NEARLY ALL OUR EXPERT LABOR IN THE ABTISTIC TRADES IS IMPORTED FROM EUROPE. WE PAY LARGE WAGES TO FOR EIGN WORKMEN, BUT REFUSE TO EDUCATE OUR OWN PEOPLE SO THAT THIS FINANCIAL BENEFIT MAY ACCRUE TO THEM. In other words, our prosperity results in benefiting the alien, and we allow our citizens to degenerate, furnishing no new employment for the rising generation, but fitting it only to those limited callings which already are overstocked and in which it can command but a minimum wage. , ...,..,'. . .. ,.' ,.'.. Current Happenings of Interest in and About Oregon City 3) (By Meta Finley Thayer.) The high school students have ar ranged to give a play entitled "The Cosmopolitan Fair," which promises to be more elaborate than anything they have yet undertaken. The play will be for the benefit of The Hes perian, and will be given shortly be fore Christmas. Mrs. H. B. Cartlidge is in charge and each of the teachers will have a booth representing some nation. A sewing booth will represent the Swedish peo ple who are noted for their needle work. The drawing booth will repre sent the Grecians, in the Esquimo booth ice cream will be served, and there will also be Dutch, Irish, Indian and Turkish booths. Candies will be sold and Christmas orders taken. Sev eral playlets from the classics will be given. Guest Returns Home. Mrs. Victor Marden, who has been the house guest of Mrs. L. L. Pickens, left yesterday for her home in The Dalles. Mrs. Marden has been the in spiration for a number of social af fairs during her visit in Portland and Oregon City. Books Still Come. Book Day should have been called Book Week. Contributions for the public library are still coming in and this season it has so far been impos sible to announce the results of the affair. Rev. W. T. Milliken, of the First Baptist church, has announced in the church calendar that on Sunday the members of his congregation are ask ed to bring a volume for this good cause. The Baptist church is at this time collecting a library for their own use, which makes their generosity to the public library still more praise worthy. Pretty Wedding. The marriage of Miss Lauretta Raber, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Raber, to Mr. David Thomas Tillman, was solemnized Tuesday morning in St. John's Catholic church, by Rev. A. Hillebrand. Only the immediate fam ily and a few friends witnessed the ceremony. The bride wore a becoming travel ing suit of blue and a mpdish small hat. She was attended by her cousin, Miss Loraine Forsberg, and Mr. An drew Naterlin acted as best man. Im mediately after the service Mr. and Mrs. Tillman left for Elma, Washing ton, which is to be their home. The Lights of Brightest Gold CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank our many friends for the kindnesses extended us dur ing our recent bereavement in the sickness and death of our husband and father, E. S. Follansbee. We wish to - mention especially the Knights of the Macabees, B. P. O. E. No. 1189, Modern Woodmen of Am erica and the Fountain Hose com pany. MRS. E. S. FOLLANSBEE, MR. AND MRS. R. TOBIN. MR. AND MRS. R. V. JEFFERSON, A bachelor who is looking for va riety can find it by exchanging a lit tie of his coin for a marriage license. This is the season when gold, silver, diamonds and other preci ous stones come into their own. It is a splendid season for buy ers to. study the advertising in live daiiy newspapers like the EN TERPRISE . and to use it for a ' guide. You want to be sure when you buy jewelery for you are depend ing largely on the integrity of the dealer. It is a wise rule to patronize the jeweler who advertises, for he is putting himself and his claims publicly on record. He is stamping himself with a guarantee, just as his solid silver ware is stamped sterling. He cannot go back on his print ed promise it would be commer cial suicide. Study your newspaper carefully before you go on your shopping tour and it will be to your profit. DIVORCES GRANTED Real estate transfers filed with the county recorder, Thursday, are as follows: D.
