NIGHT SCHOOLS READY MAXY COURSES ARE OFFERED AT 11XCOLX AMD JEFERSON- HIGH. Clannrn Open to All, Irrespective of Arc or Xativlty Scope of Study Is Brood. To correct a wrong impression of the character and scope of the work done in the Portland night schools, that will begin their Winter activities October 4, a statement of the studies offered is urpred by school authorities. In the Lincoln High, where the major ity of the night students register, a full commercial course will be offered. In which bookkeeping, accounting, typewriting: and business law will be piven. Of the lanpuagres, French, Span ish, English. German and Latin will be in the curriculum, and college entrance credits may be gained by, taking the courses offered. Besides the languages and commercial course, most of the studies that are taught in the day high schools will be offered. Physics, chem istry and mathematics through trigo nometry will be taught. Mechanical drawing, navigation and perhaps do mestic science will complete the courses. According to John C. Veatch, prin cipal of Lincoln High night school, 160 men and women were enrolled in night courses in that school last year, most of them being clerks and business men. "An idea is prevalent that the courses are open only to those of high school age and to foreigners." said Mr. Veatch, "but age and nativity are not considerations. The schools are for the lise of the general public." Work will also be offered in the Jef ferson High School, and the School of Trades for both the Voys and the girls will reopen. A number of elementary schools will have night classes, beside Ladd, but no final decision has been reached as to what ones will be used. It is understood that Albina Homestead nnd probably Vernon and Kenton will he among those chosen. PLAN TO AID IDLE URGED Land Offers Solution, Says J. If. Joyce, of Chamber f Commerce. J. If. Joyce launched a movement in the members' council of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday to provide means of placing the unemployed on the idle lands of Oregon, so that they may have an opportunity of working out their own economic independence. "If we can bring together the idle land, the idle man and idle money, the problem of unemployment will solve itself." Mr. Joyce maintained. He proposed a resolution for appoint ment of a committee of 10 to work out a definite plan. The meeting of the members' council next week will be devoted wholly to a debate of the question prior to a vote on the resolution. Speakers will be Mi. Joyce. H. B. Miller, C. W.

CITY THANKS PARK DONOR 'Multnomah Fails'' Ultt Brings Tes timonial to S. Benson. . In behalf of the City Council, City Attorney LaKoche yesterday sent a let ter to S. Benson, thanking him for his gift to the city of Multnomah Falls and adjacent property for park pur poses. The present was made to the city by Mr. Benson last week, after he closed a deal for the purchase of the tract. The Council accepted the gift and in structed City Attorney LaRoche to pre pare a letter to Mr. Benson, thanking him in behalf of the city and the pub lic. Mr. LaRoche's letter of thanks reads as follows: - The Council has directed me to notify you of its action of the 17th in accepting on behalf ot the people of the City of Portland your generous gift of the property known as "Multnomah Falls," and to acknowledge thanks therefor. This sift is not only for today but for the future generations, and its real value and the full measure of your public-spirited-ness and generosity will be better judged and appreciated -7 years from now than at the present time. You have given lav ishly of your time and money that the natural beauty spots that seem rightfully to belong to the people of this city, shall be conserved to them, and their thanks will be an ever increasing harvest of grati tude to be garnered to your name and mem ory through the decades to come. I feel that words are too feeble to express the full appreciation that time alone can give of your action, therefore I ask you now, on behalf of the people and the Council of the City of Portland, simply to accept their deepest and most sincere thanks. i MILITARY PLAN OPPOSED WOMEN IP IN ARMS OVER PRO POSED SCHOOL. TRAINING. Big Delegation to Be on Hand To. night When Patriotic Organiza tions Prevent Plea. Storma of protest will confront the representatives of the different patri otic organizations when they argue the advisibility of establishing voluntary military training in the Portland high schools tonight before the teachers' committee of the School Board. The clubwomen of the city have issued a hurry call and indications point to the possibility of a lively fight before the issue is decided. The clubwomen of this city kept the telephones busy yesterday In an en deavor io get a big delegation to be present tonight when the teachers' committee and the patriotic delega tion meet. Mrs. Alva Lee Stephens, president of the Parent-Teacher Association, yes terday declared that if she thought the School Board members were entertain ing any serious thought of allowing the establishment of military training in the Portland high schools she would call a meeting of all the Parent Teacher associations in the city. Members of the School Board are anxious to discover the sentiment of the public before any definite action Is taken. Members of the School- Board are of the opinion that the question is for the opposing factions to decide. It is not for them to force the issue.

Orton, United Spanish AV'ar Vet erans; G. F. Blair, Oregon Naval Militia; Colonel C. B. Hausdorf, Loyal Legion; W. M.
