REFORMS

CIVICS HELD VITAL SUBJECT
Algebra and Higher Mathematics
Discounted and Early Practical
Work In Foreign languages
Is Uecommended.
The high school curriculum
eaulted and battered yesterday after
noon by Frederick E. Bolton, speaking
on "The True Mission of the High
School," before the teachers' institute
of Multnomah County, meeting at
Lincoln High School. An appreciable
reform in educational methods along
the lines approved by all of the coun
try's leading educational authorities
was recommended by Professor Bolton
for Immediate adoption.
"The rearrangement of studies will
be an important step to educational ef
ficiency," said Professor Bolton. "I
am always saddened to see college stu.
dents burdened with Latin, Greek and
German grammars. They should have
been through with these books before
they came to college, even before they
came to high school. When they get
to college they should have time for
philosophical matters."
Algebra and higher mathematics were
discounted as subjects for general
study. "The hard and fast requirements
which say that a pupil shall learn
these mathematical abstractions are
badly considered." Broader generalities
as inspiration for original thinking
were recommended in their place.
Idaho Man Speaks.
Edward .M. Hulme, of the University
f Idaho, spoke on "Literature and
Life."
Broader application of educational
Ideals was the recommendation of Pro
fessor H. D. Sheldon, of the University
of Oregon. The mere requirements of
the scheduje and the outlines given in
text books for courses of study were
shown to be merely the lifeless skele
tons of living human subjects.
"Civics, for example," said Profes
sor Sheldon, "which, in its actual scope,
ehould be one of the most vital sub
jects of the modern school, should be
taught thoroughly and practically. The
best method, of course, would be to
conduct practical investigations into
methods of government. Let the stu
dents visit the courts and Institutions
conducted by the Government; let them
follow the preparation of our laws; let
them study our legal codes as they ac
tually exist."
Foreign Languages Urged.
Professor Sheldon said: "Languages,
In particular, should be used to awaken
and not to deaden the mind of the pu
pil. Let the pupil begin as soon as
possible with the actual everyday usage
of a foreign tongue. Give him easy
texts in German and French as soon
as he picks up the bare elements of
the language. He will take an interest
Immediately, for here he receives the
actual flavor of the language."
In historical studies. Professor Shel
don pointed out the same lack of
flavor. "Many students, until they for
get their history, are versed In sets of
unrelated facts dealing with Rome in
its past, or with the Kings of England.
But fewer of them can apply their his
torical knowledge to the events of to
day, for their studies did not include
a history of their own times."
A further meeting In the high school
department will be held this morning.
Besides the separate meeting of high
chool teachers, two general meetings
were, scheduled, one yesterday at 10
A. M. and one today at 1:30. The ad
vanced grades are holding meetings at
the Shattuck building, the Intermediate
grades at the Failing building and the
primary grades at the Couch. Confer
ences In the commercial, manual train
ing, domestic economy, drawing, music
and physical education departments
were held yesterday afternoon at Lin
coln High School.

MUCH may be credited to pros
perity and particularly to Port
land prosperity that immediately
followed the Lewis and Clark Exposi
tion In 1905. But how about the pranks
of a fate which permits prosperity to
drive an amusement concern from Ore
gon to California and then reverses
itself by paving the way for & $1,000,
000 enterprise and wealth for the part
ners who bewailed their lot when mis
fortune seemed to have them in its
iron clutch?
The story of the rise of the firm of
Turner & Dahnken, which operates
Portland's T & D Theater and nine
other motion picture theaters, compris
ing a il. 000,000 venture, and the big
gest and most successful of its char
acter in the West, binges directly on
Portland prosperity in 1905-6. So as
serts Fred Dahnken, the film magnate,
who has been a. visitor here for a week.
Here is the tale of the rise of the
house of Turner & Dahnken: In 1904
Fred Dahnken and J. T. Turner de
cided to share in the stream of gold
they felt sure would pour into Portland
with the Lewis and. Clark Exposition.
So they decided upon the Penny Arcade,
or Automatic Vaudeville, as the higher-
ups might term it, as their vehicle.
A storeroom wa rented at Sixth and
Washington, on a sub-lease that cost
them twice what the lessee was paying.
Thus the Californians were the first
big picture men of Portland, for the
motion picture followed and ousted the
penny arcade.
Both partners were certain that fol
lowing the exposition rents would fall.
So they paid scant attention to the
matter of location. But imagine their
dismay when the exposition closed and
rents began to soar. It was contrary
to the rules of the game, but this con
trariness robbed them of a suitable lo
cation, and ousted them from business
In Portland.
Their equipment, which consisted of
some 250 machines phonographs.
peep-o-graphs, weighing, punching
bags, talking, etc. was stored pending
developments.
Then came the San Francisco fire.
Immediately the partners shipped
their outfit to San Francisco and opened
a penny arcade on Fillmore street, the
main thoroughfare . of the city during
the immediate reconstruction period.
Money poured Into their coffers for a
year.
Then came the motion picture, and
Turner and Dahnken became the pio
neer exhibitors of San Francisco. They
owned Ave small theaters at one time,
and soon went into the exchange busi
ness, which they finally sold to the
General Film Company for 1200,000, the
second to the last independent in the
country to succumb to the so-called
trust.
From that time on the attention of
the organization was centered exclu
sively on motion picture exhibition,
and today the company has houses in
San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, San
Jose, Watsonville, Richmond, Sacra
mento and Stockton, all in California;
Reno, Nev., and Portland.
"I suppose if rents had gone down in
Portland after the exposition we would
be running a '5-cent picture house in
Portland or would be out of business
entirely,"' ruminated Mr. Dahnken as
he reviews a past of which any con
cam might well be proud.
Sues Henry Ford. .
Commodore Stuart Blackton. the
moving genius of "The Battle Cry of
Peace,'" is now for war. He is suing
Henry Ford ror a million dollars be
cause Ford published in 230 papers an
advertisement saying the film play was
created and exhibited in the interests
of the munitions makers.
Commodore Blackton says It was
created for commercial purposes and
to call attention to the unpreparedness
of the United States and he wants Ford
to pay him for the injury done to the
business of his company, the Vita-
graph, by the publication of the charges
Ford made.
In a statement made on the filing
of the suit. Commodore Blackton quotes
Colonel Roosevelt as saying to him that
" there have toeen few more lamentable
exhibitions of feebleness carried to the
extreme point of immorality than the
pitiful spectacle of the ultra-pacifists
who during the past two years have
wildly agitated for peace without ven
turing to say one word for righteous
ness in the concrete." He agrees with
Colonel Roosevelt.
It may be only coincidence, but
the time of bringing the suit Commo
dore Blackton was engaged in staging
"The Battle Cry of War" and directing
the movements of an army of 10,000
troops on Staten Island. This picture
was made at his headquarters in the
field.
Screen Gossip.
Manager Holtzclaw, of the Circle
Theater, will present another of his
popular free children's shows at the
Fourth-street playhouse this morning.
Nine-fifteen is the hour, with all chil
dren 14 years of age or under admitted
free. The programme is said to be a.
particularly attractive one, consisting
of a two-reeler, "The Little Doll's
Dressmaker," with Lillian Walker as the
star, and two one-reelers, "Jack and
the Bean Stalk" and "A Letter to
Daddy."
Herman Wobber, vice-president of
the Progressive Motion Picture Com
pany, which distributes Paramount
film features throughout the West, was
a Portland visitor yesterday.

actor, who can recite practically all of
Mr. Will Shakespeare's lines at one
broad jump, has Joined the William
Fox photoplayers. Mr. Leiber. who
was for many years the leading man
of Robert Mantell. Julia Marlowe and
Ben Greet, will go before the camera
this week in a new William Fox pro
duction under the direction of Ber

Yes still another. "Sarah Bernhardt
of the Screen," "The Face Divine" and
The Grecian Girl, to say nothing of
her legal name Naomi Childers were
not enough' titles for this popular Vita
graph favorite she has been endowed
with still another.
Owing to the resemblance between
her proflle and that of "Liberty" on
the United States bills, one of her fel
low players christened her with the
name of "Liberty."
And to further complicate matters
Miss Childers is engaged to one of the
big candy manufacturers In New York.
We wonder if she will be selfish
enough to take his name after the
marriage.
The Buffalo Times Syndicate soon

George Fitzmaurice. of Astra, has

with William Courtenay and Mollie
King, and Is now at work on "The
Challenge," an A. H. Woods play.
Sheldon Lewis, who was the Iron
Claw in the serial of that name, re
cently lost that which for many months
had served as his right hand. Worth
about S cents in real money, this claw
means much to Mr. Lewis, and he
promptly advertised, offering a-reward
for its return. The advertisement was
greeted with smiles. No one, apparent
ly, would believe that Mr. Lewis" loss
of his iron claw was aught but a press
agent's dream. . In consequence Mr.
Lewis has devoted much time to assur
ing people that he really has lost it.
The claw has not been found and its
owner's search for it continues.
Lenore Ulrich, who made a tremen
dous hit on Broadway last season in
"The Heart of Wetona," and who has

Two interesting additions to the Fa
mous Players forces were made thie
week in the persons of Lottie and Jack
Pickford, sister and brother of the cel
ebrated Mary Pickford; respectively.
This is not the first time that either
of these players has been associated
with the Famous Players, as both of
them huve already appeared on the
Paramount programme.
George W. Fawcett, who takes the

a motion picture company a short time
ago.
Billie Burke, star of "Gloria's Ro
mance." never changed her frock onc
in chapter 15 of the Rupert Hu ghee
story, this being the first episode in
which she did not wear at least three
gowns. She more than makes up for.
this, however, in another chapter, for
there is one in which she wears eight
different gowns during 2000 feet o
film.
RECORD MADE IS RECITED
Charge That Qualifications Are Not
Sufficient Is Met by Assertion
of Her Educational History.
Place Declared Temporary.
On the ground that she is being re
moved without cause, Mrs. Alevia Alex
ander filed a protest with the School
Board yesterday against her transfer
from the principalship of the girls' de
partment of the Benson Polytechnics
School to a pest as history teacher in
the Washington High School at a re
duced salary.
In her letter of protest. Mrs. Alex
ander alleges that she received no
Intimation of the Impending change
and that no complaint had ever been
voiced against her management of the
department. She hints that her re
moval may be traceable to the enmity
of one particular board member and
indicates throughout her letter that
sho may start a legal fight to hold her
place.
L. B, Alderman, City Superintendent
of Schools, and one or two board mem
bers yesterday upheld their right to
make changes in the school staffs when
occasions required and declared them
selves ready to place the issue before
the courts, if forced to that extremity.
They say that Mrs. Alexander has never
taken any special training in the de
partment of domestic science and that
she was originally placed at the head
of the department quite by accident,
with the understanding that her po
sition was temporary only.
Position Declared Temporary.
"When Mrs. Alexander was placed
nominally at the head of the girls'
department three years ago, she had
charge of several primary rooms In a
building that was not crowded and
she was made custodian of the domes
tic science pupils until such time as
the permanent school arrangement was
made," said Superintendent Alderman
yesterday.
"Mrs. Alexander realized at the time
that she had never had any techincal
training to fit her for a permanent
position at the head of the department.
I intimated to her that the arrange
ment was only temporary, pending the
erection of a new building and the ex
pansion .of the department.
"There is no personal feeling of bias
in the matter so far as I know. A large
number of teachers have come to me
requesting that a change be made. Miss
Lillian Tingle was placed at the head
of the department.
Salary Rained to 9270.
"Things have come to a bad state if
we have no right to transfer teachers
to those positions where they will be
most valuable to the service. When the
domestic science students were added
to Mrs. Alexander's primary grades
her salary was $120. As custodian of
the added department, she attained to
a salary of $270, and she should be
thankful for the promotion, temporary
though it was."
It develops that Director Lockwood
opposed the removal of Mrs. Alexander
at the time the action was taken and
that Director Drake was also against
a change, although he voted for the
motion on the assurance that the
change was certain to take place and
that it should be dispatched. Direc
tors Plummer and Smith voted for the
removal of Mrs. Alexander, while J. V.
Beach, chairman of the board, did not
vote.
Department Develop Rapidly.
"Under Mrs. Alexander's regime the
department developed rapidly and when
teachers make progress I believe In
allowing them to retain their posts."
said Dr. J. Francis Drake last night.
"The opponents of Mrs. Alexander say
that the department has grown in spite
of her leadership and not because of it.
"Apparently no complaints were ever
entered against Mrs. Alexander's work
and she was not notified of her prob
able removal except In an indirect way
after it had been arranged."
"Mrs. Alexander is a very fine wom
an, but she chanced to acquire her de
partment position quite by accident,
and her removal was for the good of
the service." said O. M. Plummer. one
of the Directors who voted for the
transfer.
Relatitve of Director Opposed.
Friends of Mrs. Alexander suspect,
they say, that the removal of Mrs.
Alexander may be traceable to her
recommendation that Mrs. E. H. Sibbald
be dropped from her department and
her opposition to the retention of Mrs.
Thomas Grahame. The latter is said
to be related to Dr. Alan Weln Smith,
who is said to have been displeased
also at -the recommendation that Mrs.
Sibbald be dropped. Dr. Smith was
out of the city last night and could
not give his version of this feature.
Both Mrs. Grahame and Mrs. Sibbald
were retained at the time of Mrs. Al
exander's transfer.
Mrs. Alexander, In her letter of pro
test, says:
' The school hu been economically admin
istered. Under my administration the per
capita cost per pupil has been reduced, until
now, without Impairing- the efficiency of tne
work, the per capita cost la lower than that
of any other school of Its kind of which w
have a record.
Power to Remove Denied.
It probably is not necessary for roe to
dwell upon my educational qualifications. I
possess unlimited life certificates to teach
in Wisconsin, Idaho and Oregon, and have
received instruction from some of the best-
known educators of the Universities of Wis
consin and Chicago. In addition I have
taken a course In the American School of
Home Economics, and have received in
struction m domestic art. These educa
tional opportunities, combined with a teach
ing experience of 18 years, eight of which
have been spent In tUa Portland schools,
would hardly leave any room for the sug
gestion now that my educational qualifica
tions are not adequate for the position.
My position is that I am still principal of
Benson Polytechnic School. I do not wish
to lose or prejudice any rights that Z mav
have, and pending a determination of my
right to nolo, tne principalsntp o Benson
Polytechnic I shall report at the Washing
ton High School, but under protest, and
upon the distinct understanding that my
services are available for the principalship
of the Benson Polytechnic School. And 1
shall insist upon drawing salary for that
position until such time as it has Keen Ju
dicially determined that I am not entitled
to do so.

and Mrs. E. A, Campbell, of the Fair
banks district, accidentally shot him
self in the head yesterday while play
ing with a 22-caliber rifle. The bullet
entered above the right eye and lodged

The lad was playing: In a bedroom of
his home with his 6-year-old brother.
He found a rifle and was playing- with
it and. seeing- some cartridges, he in
serted one. The rifle was discharged
later and the bullet entered his fore
head rendering him unconscious. His
younger brother rushed to Lis mother
trying to tell her what happened and
when she went to the room where they
had been playing she found Milton
lying on a bed apparently dead. Mr.
Campbell, seeing possible life in the
little body, rushed his son to The
Dalles Hospital. By the aid of an
X-ray the bullet was located and it
was shown that it had passed through
the base of the brain, lodging near the
back of the skull. An operation was
performed and the bullet removed and,
while the lad is conscious, he is in a
very critical condition.
TWIN CITIES GO TO FAIR

DEPOPULATED FOR DAY.
Stock: Judging; Contests by Boya, Races
and Band Concerts Are Some of
Attractions That Please.
CHEHALIS. Wash.. Sept. 1. (Spe
cial.) Chehalis and Centralla today
vied with each other in turning out the
biggest crowd at the Southwest Wash
ington Fair. Business was suspended
generally in the Twin Cities of Lewis
County and the fact that today was
school children's day resulted in a
record - breaking attendance. Seattle
and Portland sent especially large
delegations to the fair today.
The track events proved a splendid
card and a concert was given by the
Chehalis band. The stock judging by
the teams of 100 Lewis County boys
was one of the most interesting fea
tures of the fair.
Already plans are being made to take
the best of the agricultural exhibit
from the Southwest Washington Fair
to the coming State Fair at North Yak
ima. Superintendent F. A. Degeler has
an unusually good lot to select fronf
this time, and it is thought that Lewis
County will make a splendid showing.
