If you feel as though there were still time this Summer for the Indulgence of vacation frills and fancies just step Into the Library Hall at the Central Library either today or tomorrow and you will find that Fall seriousness has supplanted Summer frivolity. Between 150 and 200. teachers of Multnomah County are there In session, and all the Joys of vacation days become dim re membrances In contemplation of the coming term's exacting duties. The annual session of the Multno mah -County teachers was opened yes terday at 9 o'clock with Hunter's Juve nile Orchestra in familiar school songs. An outline of the work of the institute given, by D. A. Grout, First Assistant City School Superintendent, was' fol lowed by a talk on correspondence work, exemptions and home credits, by A. P. Armstrong. County Superin tendent. At noon a temporary dis missal was made and the teachers re assembled at 1 o'clock In the after noon. , Charles Robison Gives Talk. The afternoon session was opened by vocal numbers from Fritz De ilruln and Miss Minnie Nemorovsky, Following these Charles Robison. in structor in public speaking in the Port land night schools. lectured on the "Merchant of Venice." Mr. Robison de clared that if he were a school super intendent he would pick men and wo men as teachers "who had brains of their own and could use them." so that the beauty of Shakespeare's works could be impressed upon the mind of the student. "Too many teachers stick to critics and look for history or phi losophy In Shakespeare's plays. Don't look for the history and the philosophy but feast upon the beauty of the lines. For Shakespeare was the Mozart of words. Of all the men who ever han dled the Knglish language Shakespeare grouped the words most beautifully." Mr. Robison accompanied his lecture by the reading of parts of "The Mer chant of Venice." "Experiments In Education' Topic. B. w. DeBusk, a new professor In the department of education at the Vnlversity of Oregon, closed the first afternoon session of the institute. He spoke on "Experiments in Education." In discussing certain phases of exper imental pedagogy Mr. DeBusk first talked briefly of the Blnet tests that reveal the relation between the physi cal growth and the mental development of the child. He then told of his own ex periments upon bright and retarded 'hlldren, explaining the differences that lay between them as shown in the relation of lung capacity to . weight. He declared that the retarded chil dren were far inferior to the bright ones in that respect, and that the low ratio recorded was invariably as sociated with a slow rate of maturity and a low percentage in the mental tests. INDIAN TREATY CASE SET Trial Involving Flsliinsr nights or Yakimas Is Xoveniber C3. Federal Judge Wolverton has set No Teiuber 23 for. the trial of the case of the Government in behalf of Sam Will iams, a Yakima Indian, against Seufert Bros., wealthy salmon cannery opera tors, of The Dalles. The case involves the ancient treaty rights of the Yakima 1 nrilans. The heating for a preliminary In junction restraining the Seuferts from interfering with a fishwheel maintained by Williams at Lone Tree Point, at the head of Three-Mile Rapids, above The Dalles, held last June, resulted in a victory for the Seuferts. On the advice of Judge Wolverton, the Government has now made the Yakima Indian nation a party to the suit. ELEVATOR LAW ACTION DUE Council S-cts Seplen.br 1 0 for Con sideration of Pleasure. Friday.

Ef feet, With Change In Rates led. For one cent extra, senders of or dinary parcels can obtain a receipt for the payment of the same from the post office. The cent is paid by affixing a 1-cent stamp to a blank form pro vided by the postoffice, on whkh the name and address of the addressee must be written. "The purpose of these receipts," say . k.,n.i(. .1 v. . . n . . c uuiicim jscucu u; fuatiuiiaicr layers explaining the innovation, "is to pro vide senders of parcels, when desired, a record evidencing their mailing. Their issuance does not in any way Insure the parcels against loss while in the mails, and, no receipt is obtained from the addressee upon delivery.- To obtain these facilities, parcels must be insured." Business houses ar expected to use the new. receipts to some extent, but their use by the general public prob ably will be quite limited. A new system of insuring parcels against loss in the mails also went into effect yesterday. Heretofore parcels valued at $25 or less could be insured only at a mini mum rate of 5 cents. This fee haa been reduced to 3 cents for in suring parcels worth not exceeding $5. The former limit of insurance was $50. for which a 10-cent fee was charged. This limit has been raised to $100. but it will cost 25 cents, two and a half times as much, to insure a $100 parcel as a $50 one.
