Idea of Course Is to Familiarize Children in Practical AYay or Officials' Duties. When the 32 boy3 and girls of the Ninth a class at tne juontavuia bciiooi graduate in February they probably win v, a ra a Trttv fair knowledge of how their city Is governed. With the approval of L. K. Alderman, superin tendent of City Schools, the principal, L. A. Wiley, has Instituted a course In city government, with the Portland Commission Charter as the textbook. "It is surprising," said Mr. Wiley, "how little the majority of citizens know aftout the government of their city. Too many of us have an idea that the city's business is everybody's busi ness but our own, except when It comes to criticising. When we wish to have a street paved we don't even know what official to see. "The idea of the course simply Is to familiarize the children" in a practical way with the form of government, the duties of the Commissioners and other officials and the procedure followed In putting through public Improvements. They will be taught; for example, to know the different kinds of pavement, what each kind should cost, the width of sidewalks and their constituents, how assessments for such improve ments are made and other business of the municipality." One boy in the class was assigned as his lesson to report on the bond the Mayor must furnish before he qualifies for office, the purpose of the bond and the procedure necessary to obtaining it. He became so Interested that after seeing the Mayor he went to each Com missioner, to City Auditor Barbur, and to City Treasurer Adams, and came In with a complete report on their bonds as well. NEWSIES' CONVENTION AIM National Meeting Here In 1914 Pro- posal or Boy City Commission. To hold a National convention of newsboys in Portland in June, 1914, is the ambitious project decided on at a recent conference of Boy Mayor Charlie Cohen and the four boy Commissioners. It la planned to have representatives of every newsboys' organization in the United States and Canada. The boys believe that the convention will be the first event of the kind ever attempted. The juvenile police force will be in uniform for the convention, and will be clothed with all possible authority. The Boy City Commission will hold several sessions. C. C. Likins, juvenile probation offi cer for the Multnomah County courts and supervisor of the Portland juvenile government, is chairman of the com mittee on arrangements for the con vention, and will write letters to every L ADD & TILTON BANK Established 1859.
