Ward Asks Board to Keep Pupils Away From School for Defectives. 1851 63d Anniversary Sale --1914 BLOW TO CAUSE SHOWN MAD WOMAN Gregory Heights Appears for New Building, While Warrants, Con tracts and Other Matters Oc cupy Session Time. With tearful earnestness. Mrs. C. A. Ward. of 94 East Thirty-seventh street, appeared before the Board of Education at its session yesterday aft ernoon, with the Plea that t . two classes of deaf students at the Buck man School be not changed to tne chool for defectives. .. It would be a terrible mistaKe, she said. "The greatest value In send lne deaf students to a day school is ioSkeep them as nearly normal as possible, and to send them to a school for defectives would render this im possible." . The matter was referred to the teachers' committee, 'of which B. A. Bommer is chairman. Mrs Ward is considered an author ity in the teaching of the deaf. She 1s the mother of a child of 7 who has been deaf from birth and has devoted many years to the instruction of the child. As a result, although deaf, he is capable, as was recently proved, ot passing the most stringent examlna fi -hi-f which the normal child of his age is asked to take in the grade school. Woman Pleads for Deaf. The Board of Education recently an nounced Us intention of changing the class of deaf students from the Buck man School to the Allen School for Defectives, the latter recently leased by the Board. There were two classes of deaf pupils at the Buckman School and the quarters for the normal stu dents were becoming congested. In her brief talk to the Board yes terday. In which she had difficulty In controlling her emotion. Mrs. Ward pointed out that the association with normal students was of inestimable value to the deaf boys and girls, for It was in this that they became adept in reading the lips and In becoming optimistic over their infirmity. Though there was no spoken opinion, the Board was apparently in sympathy with the objection. District Wants Building. More was heard from the Gregory Heights School district yesterday, there being several present at the Board meeting to secure, if possible, encouragement as to the intentions of the Board to give them a new building, w L. Gray was spokesman for the pe titioners. Chairman M. G. Munly, of the Board, replied that the building committee had been over the grounds and that the matter was under ad visement. A question of close financ ing is involved, In completing schools now under way. he said, and there has been no money appropriated allowing of additional expenditure that would interfere with the plans already con templated. It was asked if another portable school would be granted, but the chairman replied that this matter also waa up to the building committee, of which O. M. Plummet Is chairman. J. D. Tobin was awarded bids for the improvement of the Arleta School grounds and for the excavation and grading for the new Couch School, underbidding all competitors. His price for Arleta grounds improvements was $4100, while the next highest was 44s7 and the highest $6490. His bid for the Couch School work was $3600 and his competitor's $4S49.20. Warrants were drawn for bills to the amount of $33,673.11. Hills I odor Consideration. A communication from A P. McKin lay, head of the English department of the Lincoln School, submitting a bill for Anna E. Dring to the amount of $11, covering typewriting work done for him in preparing a syllabus for the printer, was referred to the teachers' committee. E. A. Summer objected to the payment on the grounds that It was an "extra." incurred without con sulting the Board. Reports and recommendations on Are hazards on various schools were re ferred to the repairs committee. A res olution from the Irvington Park Club recommending that the Twentieth Century Fresh Air type of building be constructed at the Kennedy grounds, was filed. The refusal of T. J. Jones, architect, to accept the compromise of $2500 offered by the board on his claim recently presented amounting to $8,128.90 was filed. Wertz & Dearborn were released from their bid on kalso mining the Kerns school, the bond not being eliminated. Boyo Would Be Telegraphers.

Rlnehart, M. D.. and Ethelwyn Hablghorst, all teachers in the school department, were accepted. The resig nation of C. A Jamison, Janitor of the Sellwood school, was accepted. The usual course of the board In asking resignations from those desir ing leave of absence for a year but al lowing leave for a school semester was follewed in the cases of violet P. Ba telle, who asked for a leave of a year, Jennie Richardson, who asked for leave during the first term of the ensuing school year, and Ethel May Roberts, who asked leave for the first semester. Contracts Are Approved. Sixteen contracts and bonds were approved by the board. The recom mendation that Charles A. Perkins be appointed Janitor of Sellwood school to fill the vacancy made by resignation of C. A. Jamison was referred to the building committee. The request of School Electrician D. J.

Estelle Rose, the dainty little character singer who is playing a popular "single" at Marcus Loew's Empress this week, is a suffragette. "Yes, I'm a wild, raving, raging suffragette." said Miss Rose last night, "and it's doing my heart good to be out here where women are regarded as people, and are sharing in the government of the people, for the people and by the people. In the benighted East they have not yet reached the same degree of civilization. "No, I'm not a militant, but I can easily see how those English women were exasperated into breaking windows and smashing things. If we American women had English men to deal with, we might have to smash some thing ourselves to get their seri ous attention." change df form will not affect the in terests of Portland. Would remind you that our Portland organization will continue to deal with purchases there, just as our similar organizations deal in Los Angeles with purchases with respect to Southern California, Arizona and New Mexico. In these times we are forced to fit our organization to our declining earnings, but that does not affect the business interests of Oregon with respect to our purchases." SLEEPING ZOO RESTLESS Reassurance of Voice Is Necessary, 'Says Barnum & Bailey Keeper. "When a monkey sleeps he picks out the highest perch he can find," said Keeper John Patterson of the Barnum & Bailey menagerie. "Although the monkey Is rather wise and knows that the lions are securely caged, the fear Is born in him, which accounts for his choosing a high perch to sleep on. The Hon stretches out on its side and sleeps a good deal like a dog. "Gorillas and chimpanzees sleep with their hands over their heads; bears have no fear and sleep in any position. A seal sleeps like a hu man being. Elephants sleep fitfully as horses do and are keenly alert to the slightest noise. If they see the object they are not easily excited, but if it is something weird they need the reas surance of their keeper's voice." The menagerie department of the Barnum & Bailey greatest show on earth, which will be here Tuesday and Wednesday, has been greatly enlarged during the Winter.
