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.

STAMP SALES INCREASE
August Only Month of Tear With
Gain Over 1 2 Months Aro.
Fostoffice receipts are considered a
first-class indication of prosperity, and
the receipts of the Portland postoffice
for August show it to have been the
most prosperous month of this year as
far as stamp sales were concerned.
v hen the books were balanced yes
terday a gain of $181.62 was shown
over the receipts for the same month
in 1914. This exceeds the estimate
made Tuesday by Assistant Postmaster
Durand by more than 5400.
Receipts for August. 1915, were $93,
416 06. as compared to $93.2?4.S5 for
August of 3914. Kvery previous month
of 1915 has shown a decrease in receipts.
Carrier's Flight Doubted.
O. V. A'Iamfl, of the Oregon Homing
Pigeon Club. has expressed doubt
that a carrier pigeon had flown from
Norwalk. O.. to Los Angeles, Cal., in
five days, nine hours, 31 minutes and
10 seconds. The distance is about 2200
miles. - The disputed statement was
contained in a Los Angeles dispatch.
'Carrier pigeons are not used for long
distance trips." said Mr. Adams. "Only
a homing pigeon could have made the
fiight. I think the former record long
distance flight for a homing pigeon
was 1160 miles.

ern Pacific on the morning of Septem

POSTAL RECEIPT AT HAND
METHOD IS MERELY RECORD OF

New Sy4em of Protection Parcels
From Ltu Alio In . 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.
