TIIE MORXIXG OREGONIAN, FRIDAY DECEMBER 8, 1916. 17 4, 1 " " 1 . ' :'":.! - - -1 SEX SEGREGATION HIGH SCHOOL PLAN Proposal Is to Have Lincoln for Girls Exclusively and Washington for Boys. MILITARY IDEA BROACHED Conflict of Opinion Comes Over Whether Buildings Shall lie 1 or 2 StoriesMarried Teachers May Be Disciplined. Lincoln High School may bo given over entirely to girl students in future, and Washington High may become ex clusively a boys' school, if plana sub mitted to the School Board at a regular meeting are carried out. As yet these plans are tentative only, and action was postponed by the directors to give time to think the plan over. Briefly, the scheme provides that at the opening of the school term in Feb ruary, 1917, new classes at Lincoln High will be opened only to girls. In the Washington High they will be opened to boys only, with the object that after four years, and perhaps sooner than that, Lincoln will be a girls' school and Washington the boys' high school. It is further contemplated that the Washington High be made a military high school. This plan was recom mended by the finance and judiciary committee of the School Board. Direc tors were thought to be favorable to the new system yesterday, but they wanted more time to consider it. Clash Comes Over Architecture. Proporents of one and two-story school buildings clashed yesterday at the meeting. Those favoring an im posing structure on. the proposed site of the Nicholson School made this re quest to the Board, asking that a two story building similar to the new Shat tuck and Couch, schools in general plan be erected. Opposed to this plan was the coun cil of Parent-Teacher organizations, which went on record in a recent reso lution as favoring only one-story schools in future. Mrs. Alva Lee Ste phens, president of the Parent-Teacher Council, appeared before the Board in person and presented the action of the Council. She said safety was the first consideration, or should be, and it was thought the one-story building was most favorable to the health and well being of the pupils. The subject was referred to the building committee. Revenge on teachers who marry and continue in the employment of the School Board, in violation of their con tract as teachers, but backed by a re cent Supreme Court decision, was broached by Director J. Francis Drake at yesterday's meeting. He suggested that their life as teachers be made an unhappy one so that they would be willing to resign. Two More Teuc-bers Add "Sirs." The married teacher has been a thorn in the side of the Board since the test case of Mrs. Maude Richards some1 time ago established the right of the Portland teacher to marry and still re tain her employment. Yesterday two teachers, Mrs. F. ,Y. Hill and Mrs. Bertha Johnson, recently married, filed notice with the Board of change of name. This brought up a discussion as to what to do with the married teacher, ince the Board is powerless to "dis charge them. Director Drake said it might not be a bad idea to transfer them to an other district than that in which they live, and make it generally unpleasant for them. Director Smith agreed with him. It was declared that if teachers are willing to disregard the moral ob ligation expressed in' their contract with the Board, even though backed by a Supreme Court decision, it would not be a bad idea to teach them the error of their ways through a course in irri tation. No definite action was taken on this subject. Laureluurst Auks for ew School. Representatives of the Laurelhurst district appeared before the Board and asked for another portable school for that district. They also asked that the Board make a ruling which will require all children of that suburb to attend the Laurelhurst School instead of go ing away from their homes some dis tance to another school. A telegram was received yesterday by Superintendent Alderman and sub mitted by him to the Board that re fers to the Alexander case. The Union National Bank, of Kau Claire, Wis., telegraphed it had just been learned there that the Portland directors are having trouble with Mrs. Alexander. She lived here many years," ran the telegram. "Taught here great many years in the public schools. Was thor oughly competent. Unquestioned worth and integrity and fine ability." The telegram was ordered filed by the Board without comment. A mass of routine business was also transacted at yesterday's meeting. PERSON ALMENTIGN. H. L.

Orders Continue to Pour In, but Mills, for Lack of Rolling Stock, Are Unable to Meet Demand. The freight ear shortage continues to affect the Northwestern lumber indus try most severely. An aggregate of 11.416 cars for transcontinental deliv ery remained unshipped yesterday. Reports compiled yesterday by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association show that the mill production last week dropped off sharply, due directly to the car shortage. Production from 134 mills last week was only 67,503,340 feet, or 21.B8 per cent below the normal for this season of the year. Orders are reported to have been 6.20 per cent below production and 1.63 per cent above shipments, which in turn were 27.64 per cent below normal. In the transcontinental trade new business accepted amounted to 1864 car loads. Shipments in this trade were 1-.33 cars, or 200 cars short, compared with the previous week. Rail orders exceeded rail shipments for the week by 22.16 per cent. In the cargo trade an easier supply of small sailing vessels from the Colum bia River, Grays Harbor and Puget Sound enabled the tidewater mills to ship 20,869,246 feet, this volume being almost evenly divided between coast wise and offshore business. Cargo or ders aggregated 11.870,739 feet, of which 2,179,000 was for export. MINERAL EXPERT HERE FEDERAL MAN TO CO-OPERATE AVITH OKKGON OFFICIALS. " Dr. D. A. Lyon to Take Up Problems of Milling mid Metallurgy, Hoping to Extract More dre. Dr. D. A. Lyon, one of the experts of the United States Bureau of Mines at Washington, arrived in Portland yesterday on a mission of co-operation with state authorities in aiding the mineral development of Oregon. Dr. Lyon held a conference with H. N. Lawrie, chairman of the Oregon bureau of mines and geology, and H. M. Parks, director. It was agreed that since the Federal bureau- of mines is so well equipped with experts In drill ing and metallurgical research and the laboratory facilities of the organization are so well adapted to the purpose, any co-operation will be confined to problems of milling and metallurgy. "It is very important that the mine operators of Oregon get the best results from ore treatment and increase the efficiency of their mills, said Dr. Lyon. "The oil flotation process is rapidly increasing in use and it is thought will solve many of the milling problems. ol the ores of Oregon with most satis factory results. "One of the chief objects of the United States bureau of mines is to conserve the mineral wealth of the Nation by devising superior processes. If a mill is now able to recover only 65 per cent of the values. It is the object of the bureau to devise a system of ore treatment by which 90 per cent or greater can be extracted."
