believe lhat the teaching of Oregon
history will give the children valu
able material which will be foundational."
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."
The bibliography will be printed
from week to week In the school
bulletin under the title, "The Oregon
Hour."
Mr. Grout explained that he has
had this idea for two years, but that
it has not been possible to carry It
out before. He hopes that he can
introduce the new work into the
schools with the beginning of the
next school term.
