JUVENILE BUREAU
FOR STATE PLANNEO
Mrs. A. L. Stephens, of Parent-Teacher
Association,
. Has Legislative Draft

of Oregon With Best Training

tally and Morally.
As a companion bill to her measure
to take the Juvenile Court out of poli
tics by establishing a bureau of Juve
nile and parental relations, Mrs. Alva
Lee Stephens, president of the Mult
nomah County Council of Parent
Teacher Associations, has prepared a
measure establishing a state public
school.
This measure, which will have the
Indorsement of the Parent-Teacher As
sociation, provides that appropriations
now made by the state in aid of private
Institutions In which homeless, neg
lected, abandoned and dependent chil
dren are kept, be diverted to the state
public school. An annual appropriation
f $75,000 or $150,000 for the blennium.
Is asked.
By legislative enactment private in
stitutions caring for orphans and
foundlings now receive $8 a month for
the care of each child more than b
years old and not more than 17 years
old, and $10 a month for the care of
children less than 5 years old. Includ
ing a deficiency of $7500, state expendi
tures during the 1915-16 blennium for
this purpose have totaled $122,000, and
stimated expenditures for the 1317-18
blennium are the same.
State School Proponed
Under the provisions of Mrs. Steph
ens' measure, orphan, foundling and
dependent children now cared for at
(these private Institutions would be
provided for in the proposed state pub
lic school, to which state appropriations
now received by the private institu
tions would be diverted.
Calling attention that the present law
continues the appropriations to pri
vate Institutions until such time as the
number of dependent children Justifies
establishment of a state institution for
their benefit, the preamble of Mrs.
Stephens' proposed measure declares
that the time has now come for such a
state Institution.
The purpose of the measure is fur
ther explained in the preamble as fol
lows: "Whereas, said state public school
should be so situated, established and
equipped as to provide for said chil
dren all the privileges of home train
ing, public school, industrial trade and
other vocational education, and to pro
vide for their physical, mental and
moral development, that they may be

No Clearance
Sales
I decided at the beginning
of this year that there would
be no more Clearance Sales at
this store; that the customer
who makes his purchases dur
ing the season was entitled to
every consideration and he
is going to have it at my
hands.
In pursuance of this plan,
my goods have been marked at
a lower margin of profit than
ever before, and at the marked
prices are lower than many of
the so-called Sale Prices. The
man who pays $25 for a suit
here in November will not see
if marked at $19.85, or any
other price, in January.
My stocks are large and un
broken and assortments com
plete. If you need anything in
the Men's or Boys' Clothing
line come and look me over.
You will receive, as always,
the best values in Portland.

prepared adequately to discharge the
duties and responsibilities of good
citizenship; and
"Whereas, instead of appropriating
money to aid private institutions i
which said, homeless, neglected, aban
doned and dependent children are now
or may hereafter be kept without the
necessary provisions and equipment
for such proper education and training
as aforesaid, it is urged that adequate
appropriation be made for the estab
lishment of a modern state public
school."
This school, the measure provides,
shall be situated In Multnomah County
and shall be built and conducted on the
cottage plan. The State Superintendent
of Public Instruction is designated
manager of the school, with authority
to appoint a superintendent, who shall
have direct charge.
The measure Instructs the State
Superintendent of Public Instruction to
begin negotiations immediately after
the act becomes effective for purchase
or donation of land in Multnomah
County on which to build the school.
This land, the bill stipulates, must be
"extensive enough to Insure adequate
means for training in agricultural pur
