PUBLIC AID ASKED
IN CHOOSING TEXTS
School Board to Consider Rec
ommendations on New
Books Before Acting.
TEACHERS WILL HAVE VOICE
Chairman Sabin Says Directors Keel
Heavy Responsibility and Tax
payers' Views Are Invit
ed as One of First Aids.
Before the text books for the gram
mar and high scnools of Portland are
selected, every one who cares to have
a word on the subject. Insofar as time
and accommodations of 'the headquar
ters win permit, will get an opportun
ity to be heard by the members of the
Board of Education."
This recommendation will be made
by It. L. Sabin, chairman, and un
doubtedly will be followed, as the di
rectors are anxious to please the gen
eral public, which has to pay for the
books, while endeavoring to select the
best the market affords.
The Board of School District No. 1,
embracing the Portland schools, is the
only one In the state which has such
a great responsibility. All books for
the other districts are chosen by a
commission named by Governor West.
Tt is within the power of the Portland
Board to adopt the self-same books if
they see fit, but whether they will is a
question, as the Board has not even
met on this phase as yet.
Committee Soggnti Only.
Aa soon as the Board members
learned that the law creating them a
text book commission for the Portland
schools had taken effect, they took the
first step by instructing the city super,
intendent to co-operate with Mr. Sabin
in selecting from the grammar and
high schools of the city competent
teachers on each subject' for which a
text book or books must be chosen.
These committees, which were named
several weeks ago. have reported to
the city superintendent, but their re
ports are purely In the form of sugges
tions for the guidance of the members
of the Board, and may or may not be
adopted in full or in part.
Mr. Sabin says that the members of
the Board feel keenly the responsibflity
resting upon them, as their selection of
books for the next four years will mean
a great deal to the parents. It being
estimated that there will be an ex
penditure for new books within the
four years of not less than $300,000.
Aside from this, there Is the Influence
of the book on tho pupils.
Teachers to Be Heard.
"In view of the fact that the Legis
lature saw fit to make the Board re
sponsible for the selection of the text
books," said Mr. Sabin, "we shall dis
charge the duty to the best of our
ability. We shall consider the sugges
tions of our own teachers, already
filed; the actions of the state commis
sion and I also favor giving the public
a hearing, just so far as it is possible
with the accommodations at hand for
that purpose. Wo probably will, give
the publishers a hearing, to6."
The subjects for which text books
for grammar grades are to be chosen
are arithmetic, language and grammar,
geography, history, spelling, reading,
civics, music, drawing, domestic sci
ence, domestic art, physiology, pen
manship; high, schools, mathematics,
English, chemistry, zoology, physiology,
physics, physiography, botany, French,
Latin, German, history, pedagogy, com
mercial subjects, mechanical drawing.
Inasmuch as the books will be put
Into use of pupils at the Fall term, it
win be the effort of the Board to de
cide on the books by August 1.
municipal water -'bonds' at the rate of
S3 cents on the dollar the Water
Board yesterday completed arrange
ments for lowering, in the near future,
the submerged' trunk water pipelines In
the Willamette River. The Board at a
snecial meeting considered the neces
sity of the work and-after consulta
tion with Commissioner Daly;, who will
have charge of the Water Department
after next Tuesday, arranged for let
ting the contract.
The Federal Government and' practi
cally all of the shipping interests of
the upper harbor have been urging the
improvement for a long time because
the pipes interfere with river naviga
tion. Up to this time the Water Board
has not been able to see its way clear
because of the low figure at which
bonds are selling. Mr. Berry agreed
to pay for ,the-bond3 at the rate they
sold for prior to the recent slump. The
bonds run for 25 years at 4 per cent
and the best bid now Is about 89 cents
on the -dollar.
The huge pipes In the river will be
taken up, repaired and laid again at
greater depth. a'he contract for the
work was not formally let, ; that pro
ceeding having been left to Commis
sioner Daly, but negotiations were ad
vanced far enoflgh so that the con
tractors can proceed to secure ma
chinery and begin preparations for the
work.

Foot-Ease to Be Added to Equip

Under -the above beading the Detroit
Free Press, among other things Bays:
"The theory is that soldiers whose feet
are in good condition can walk further
and faster than soldiers who have corns
and bunions incased in rawhide.
The Government's foot powder order is
regarded as the last word in the scientific)
outfitting of the defenders of the flag."
This foot powder, shaken in the shoes of
soldiers, has long been in use in theGerman
army, and Uncle Sam's adoption of this
form of treating and easing the feet, is in
line with the expressions heard daily for
more than twenty years, in all parts of the
world, from millions of people who are
shaking Allen's Foot-Ease, the antiseptio
powder for the feet, into their shoes, as
the only practical and lasting treatment
for easing and absolutely preventing sore
feet. It can be obtained from dealers
everywhere for 25o. or a trial package
will be sent by mail free if you write to
