HAS BCLIY RECOVERED FROM
KECENT ILLNESS.
Prosperity on Coos Bay ' Simply
Marvelous, Says the Cath
olic Leader.
Archbishop Alexander Christie returned
yesterday from Coos Bay. where he fell
ill on a visit and for nearly two weeks
was in a hospital. The archbishop came
to Portland from Astoria, where he dis
embarked from the steamer Alliance

I Archbishop Christ le. f
s.
Saturday. He remained over for the
night with Father Waters ana then took
the morning train for Portland.
Archbishop Christie has nearly recov
ered from his attack of gastritis aid haa
regained his strength- almost completely.
Owing to his illness his visit to Coos
Bay was prolonged considerably. He
makes a trip to Coos Bay occasionally
to inspect the Catholic parishes at North
Bend and Marshfield, and was called to
North Bend to dedicate the new Sisters
of Mercy Hospital. While there he was
taken ill and was among the first pa
tients of the hospital after its dedica
tion. Archbishop Christie reports that the
hospital is doing well and that the peo
ple of the Coos Bay community are much
gratified with the noble work that the
Sisters of Mercy have undertaken. The
new hospital has accommodations for
about 60 patients, and although it has
been open but a short time has about
30 inmates.
"Coos Bay is on the verge of a. great
and wonderful prosperity." said the arch
bishop yesterday. "I had not been there
for three years, and I was genuinely sur
prised at the development of that section
of the state. The towns there are not
exactly booming, but they are in a
flourishing condition and the development
of that great and resourceful part of the
state has but begun.
"There is talk of building an electric
line to connect Marshfield and North
Bend. The towns are but a few miles
apart, and I believe that before many
years they will be one city. Upon the
completion of the line of the Southern
Pacific from Drain to Coos Bay I be
lieve that all of the trade of. that sec
tion of the state will come to Portland
and that this city will be able to hold it."
Sisters of Israel Meet.
The Sisters of Israel Benevolent
Society met yesterday at 2:30 o'clock
in the "Neighborhood House" af
ter a. vacation of "three months.
The, society is organized to assist worthy
women and children. Reports at the
meeting show that a large number were
helped. The president, Mrs. A. Flesh
man, iri particular has done very much
to relieve distress in a number of
families. Mrs. I. Friedman, of the board
of trustees, was appointed as a com
mittee to- inform members of persons re
quiring visits and assistance. The so
ciety has about 100 members Jewish wo
men only. Some 20 new members were
elected at the meeting yesterday. Here
after the society will meet on the last
Sunday of every month.

WORKS WELL IN PRACTICE
v.
S. HOLMES DISCUSSES FREE
TEXTBOOK LAW.
New Jersey Business Man Says -It
Has Been Adopted Jn His City
AVith Splendid Results.
That the campaign for free textbooks
in the public schools has not progressed
farther in this and other Western states
is a matter of surprise to W. S. Holmes,
who is prominent In business in Norton,
N. J., and who is in Portland on a busi
ness trip.
Mr. Holmes graduated from the schools
of his home city about 20 years ago.
Since he has sent two children to the
Norton schools, and in no case have
books, pencils or any other of the ne
cessities of his school days cost him a
single dime. That children attending the
public schools should have to pay for
such things he considers un-American.
If the plan of the public schools is to
give children of all classes a free edu
cation, by all means let it be free, says
Mr. Holmes.
"There Is no distinction between the
rich and the poor boy in the schools of
our city," said Mr. Holmes. "It is just
as it should be. There is no chance for
the son of drunken or poverty-stricken
parents to bow his head in shame be
cause he has not enough money to pur
chase suitable books,' as is sometimes
the case where the other plan is used.
The introduction of free textbooks means
that all the pupils of the schools are
put on a common level and none has
more or better books than another. Even
slate pencils are furnished by the Norton
School Board.
"I am hot an educator, but a business
man who has seen the plan of free books
tested, and it is a decid;d success. The
contention of Mr. Wittenberg in The Ore
gonian that the present system should
be continued is ridiculous. He says that
a child who ha his books given him
will not appreciate his education as one
does whose books are purchased by his
parents. A boy in the public school
never does appreciate his educational ad
vantages anyway.
"In the case of willful mutilation of
books at Norton they are replaced at the
expense of the parents of the pupil who
injures them, but as long as I have been
in Norton I have never known of such
a case. The books are practically the
