Mrs. C. A. 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.
Reinstatement of Peter Wllhelm,
janitor at the Holman school, was re
ferred to the building committee. The
request of students in the School of
Trades for boys that a class In teleg
raphy and wireless telegraphy be es
tablished, was filed. The resignations
of Stella Campling, Elizabeth McRae,
H. E. 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.

mendation that Charles A. Perkins be

Estelle Rose.
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.
