Some Object to Percentage Basis for State Bene fit Proper. 70 IS TO BE AGE LIMIT Wore Health Work and Special At trillion to Apparently Dull Pupil Are Advised to Overcome Retardation Difficulties. (Continued From First Page. continue the investigation of retarda tion, working on a broader and more systematic plan, and especially asking the co-operation of County Superin tendents In securing information re garding typical rural or small village communities. That the reduction of retardation be made a special problem in the state of Oregon, involving: Adoption and use, in all schools, of a permanent record system which will Kive for each child such data as birth, age at entrance, complete attendance record, health, physical defects, school progress (promotion, repetition and skipping), record on school subjects and causes of repetition. More health work in schools. Special attention to slow-moving nnnil.s More careful grading of pupils regard to mental age. Flexible promotions. g That rapid progress be encouraged whenever a pupil is distinctly able to do work of an advanced grade. Education of Aliens Related. Henry B. Hazard, United States Nat uralization Examiner, spoke briefly to the council, upon Invitation, and out lined the work of the Government in educating aliens prior to their nat uralization, and asked the support and co-operation of the schools to make them better citizens. The resolutions committee, which was on the programme for a report yester- Hav asked more time to complete its recommendations, and this was grant ed. An added session of the council was fixed for tomorrow at 11 A. M. at the Portland Hotel, where yesterday's sessions were held. Yesterday's gathering of teachers from all parts of the state was the largest and most representative, it was raid, ever held in Oregon. Teachers and 'superintendents from the far-away counties were in attendance. Hereto fore sectional state meetings have been held. Superintendent Oliver, of Lake County, was one of the distant ones who was present. Xew Name More Comprehensive. As illustrative of the new and hroader spirit of the association, a change in name was made yesterday. by which the words "Western Divi sion" were stricken from the name of the organization. Superintendent Alderman, of the Portland schools, was active In invit ing city school superintendents from many parts of the state to take out ! institutional memberships in the Na tional Education Association. This or ganization will meet in Portland next July, and it is desired to obtain as large a list of school memberships as possible. It is promised that Oregon will be well represented. Ethics for teachers formed the sub ject for an interesting report yester day morning by Dr. J. H. Ackerman. president of the Oregon State Normal School at Monmouth. His committee has been at work for some time on an ethical code for teachers. The report was adopted by the council. Contracts Are Held Sacred. Briefly, the code is as follows "To govern one's conduct in public and private life by the highest princi ples of courage, justice and truth. "To be loyal to all movements look ing toward the raising of the stand ards of the teaching profession with a reciprocal loyalty between teachers, superintendents and principals. , "Not to make application for an ad ministrative position until a vacancy has occurred, nor to apply for other positions until every effort has been raade to determine whether a vacancy exists. "Never underbid. "Never undermine. "To withdraw immediately all appli cations when a contract has been signed and to notify immediately all persons who may be actually assisting in securing a position. "To have a high regard for the sa credness of a contract, while in turn employers should have every regard for the advancement of a teacher. "To take active part in all com munity activities of an educational nature. "To refuse to give or accept open recommendations. "To support the State Teachers' As sociation to the extent of subscribing to the Oregon Teachers Monthly. e!iMlons Set for Today. Many sections of the association will I be busy today.

Kris Kringle. the Storm King and Jack Frost all dropped in on Old Man Oregon In company this season, in the opinion of the Columbia and v uiam- ette River contingent. The joys of Christmas were largely onset yester day by the appearance of a young easterly blizzard Which caused a tem porary shutdown of the quarry at Fishers' Landing, thereby discontinu ing the delivery of rock for the north Jetty. Then reports arrived of ice forming on the Upper Columbia, and today probably will be the last trip of the steamer State of Washington. Major Jewett. Corps of Engineers. C. S. A., was informed yesterday by the Columbia Contract Company, which is supplying stone for the north jetty, that the slorm was such on the Middle Columbia that men coul not work in the quarry at Fisher's Landing, and it was requested that permission be given to suspend rock deliveries toaay aim for the remainder of the week. Three barges of rock were started fo,- iha lettv vesterday. and will oe distributed along the tramway today. As Major Jewett consented to the de liveries being stopped lor a lew aay m, the entire Jetty force will be iaid off tomorrow and remain Idle until Tues day, because of the N?w Year's holiday. D. C. O'Reilly, president of the Regu lator line, received a telephone mes-aac-n from the company's representa tive at The Dalles William Crichton. that Ice was forming at Roosevelt, on th TTnner Columbia, opposite Arling ton: that a stilt east wind was blowing there and the river jivas falling, all of which were rated as Ideal conditions for a. freezeuo. Mr. Crichton advisad that the wharf- boat at The Dalles be moved into shelter yesterday, but as the steamer State of Washington will leave here today, probably on her last trip for the Winter, the wharfboat will be shifted on her arrival there. It had been intended by tne regu lator line interests to suspend the serv- ce January 1 because of danger of freezeup and the fact that its steamers require considerable work to be done n advance of the 117 season. Towboats arriving yesterday trom the lower river exhibited a few icicles on fantails. but otherwise the snow and wind had not bothered the flee here. As a precaution steam was got en up on idle vessels to preven freezing. CAPTAIN FOLEY PASSES ON Father of Former Tennis Champion of Oregon Dies In Chile. SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 27. Captain Charles H.

These are in Great Northern-Northern Pacific-Burlington through trains to Chi cago, Kansas City, Denver. Or, would you prefer a through stand and sleeper? These, of course, are operated through to the East and Southeast; also beautiful through chaircars and diners. Would you like to go one way and return another? Burlington through-service routes offer these advantages four different through routes, two through the North, two through the heart of the corn belt, with no extra cost to include the Twin Cities in one direction and Denver in the other. When you reach the Middle East you may desire to visit a few of its great cities. The Burlington operates a passenger serv ice of more than forty through trains a day, connecting with each other these great cities. . DENVER BILLINGS OMAHA CHICAGO ST. JOSEPH KANSAS CITY PEORIA ST.
