A committee of teachers, with Robert H. Down of the Franklin high school faculty as chairman, is working on a bibliography of all material on Oregon. The committee reports that there is an abundance of material, which will be segregated into three groups, suitable to be taught to elementary Intermediate and high school pupils. "The result will be an annotated bibliography, dealing with the le gends, accounts of prehistoric days, discoveries, explorations and settle ments, Indian wars and heroic tales of adventure, the social and economic life of the fur traders and pioneers, missions and the beginnings of gov ernment, everything that will con duce to an understanding of present day Oregon and her Institutions."

Mr. Grout explained that he has had this idea for two years, but that it has not been possible to carry It out before.
