THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 27. 1910. EDUCATORS ARRIVE TO ATTEND MEETING PROMINENT EDUCATORS ARE GATHERING FOR OREGON STATE TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION CONVEN TION, WHICH OPENS TODAY. "I ALWAYS TAKE MY STAMPS" SAID A LADY PATRON YESTERDAY. "THEY HAVE PAID FOR MANY A HOUSEHOLD NEED OR LUXURY I'D HAVE HAD TO DO WITHOUT ELSE. I'VE COMPARED YOUR PRICES, TOO, AND FIND I PAY NO MORE OFTEN LESS THAN AT OTHER STORES." TRADING STAMPS ARE AN HONEST TRADE INDUCER. Oregon Teachers' Association Committees Gather to Frame Suggestions. NOTABLES TO BE PRESENT 4 Teachers' Association, takes Issue with the opinion of educational experts as to the efricacy of the present tenure of office law. He believes that the ex pert opinion, appearing: recently as a reproduction from the school survey, was offered before the law had time to operate In detail. In answering the argument raised by the school surveyors that the tenure of office law would not allow school executives to rid the corps of undesir ables, resulting in a demoralization of the service, Mr. McKinlay raises the question, "Has time proved the survey correct?" "Twenty-eiprht cases involving- the tenure of office law," continues Mr. Mc Kinlay, "have come within the pro visions of this act. Of these ten were dropped, eight resigned, five sustained, one transferred, one granted a leave of absence and two reinstated. "In no case in which the provisions of this law have been duly observed has the board been prevented from car rying out its will. "The two instances that have brought vexation to the public and disrespect upon the law have been due to the manifest ignoring of the provisions of the tenure-of-ofnce law." B'-ntesciitatlve Council to Hold Session Today, and Convention Will Open Tomorrow Big Attendance Kxpected.

A law has been framed for presentation to the Legis lature at the coming session that out lines the establishment of a retirement fund. It is mapped out on'- an insur ance basis whereby each teacher may, through a savings plan, buy herself ah annuity varying in amount according to the money paid Into the fund. This will be one of the live topics to be con sidered. ( ode of Ethic Framed. Another Is the code of ethics for teachers as to application for posi tions, adherence to contracts, so that teachers will not resign in the middle of the school year, and numerous other things relating to the professional standing of teachers will be included In this report. . Retardation is another school prob lepi that will be dealt with. The ques tion of how to prevent a large propor tion of the school classes being com pelled to repeat the same work because they are held back by pupils of less active minds is one that has taxed the resourcefulness of many of the coun try's educators.

The proposed teachers' retirement fund bill, to bo presented to the Legis lature, was approved by the executive committee of the Oregon State Teach ers Association at a meeting last night. The measure will be discussed before the convention. The proviso was made that the law will be urged for passage only in the event that.lt will not conflict with a similar law now in effect in Portland only.

AMSTERDAM, via London, Dec. J6. The Telegraaf aays it has reason to believe that Germany's reply to Hol land's note regarding the deportation of Belgian workmen is framed in such terms that it was Inadvisable to com municate it to the Dutch Parliament, and that the government has requested Berlin to alter the reply In such a man ner that It may be presented to the Parliament. The Dutch government last month in structed Its Berlin representative to no tify Germany that the Belgian depor tations had caused a painful impression in Holland. A Rotterdam dispatch to the London Times on December 5 gald Germany had responded In words which were tantamount to saying: "Mind your own business."

The local office of the Siskiyou National Forest has been unable to get word today of the progress of the search for Commodore Fleming, mail- carrier on the West Fork and Agness route, and Tom Rllea, supposed to be lost somewhere in ttie mountains be tween West Fork and Mariel. All telephone wires on the. Lower Rogue are down through the heavy fall of snow. Supervisor Macduff got a dispatch through to Gold Beach by way of Crescent City and is having a man sent to the Mule Creek ranger station to attempt to open telephone communi cation over the forestry lines. No word has come from Mariel since Monday evening, when it was reported a searching party was being organized there. The niallcarrler who handles the parcel post packages left West Fork after Fleming and Rllea. He reached the top of the divide, nine miles from West Fork, but was forced to return from there because of the deep snow. He reports that the tracks of both Fleming and Rllea were pro ceeding ahead Into the .--ountalns when he turned back. Thomas C. Rllea, who is reported lost in the mountains between West Fork and Agness. in the Lower Rogue River Valley, Is well known in this city. He attended the electrical engineering school of the Young Men's Christian Association, coming here several years ago. He was popular among his fel lows. While attending school he lived at the T. M. C. A. and paid his tuition and living expenses by working in the cafeteria and elsewhere. He was a bright student, and when ho was grad uated from the school last year he turned his attention to employment in engineering. As he waa a member of Company R, Oregon National Guard, he was called to border duty shortly after leaving the electrical school last June. " Upon his return to this city he was employed by the Portland Railway, Light Ac Power Company In Station D, Oregon City. As he was a young man of pow erful build, his friends here give him a good chance of combating the bad weather he encountered on his way home to Agness. H. F. Way, dispatcher of the Port land Railway, Light & Power Company, said yesterday that he had recom mended that Mr. Rllea be allowed sev eral days' leave. of absence in which to visit his parents.
