THE 'MORNING OREGOXIAX. SATURDAY. JUNE 11, 1921 7, 11 F EST VAL NT Revelers Form Seething Mass of Humanity. CHILD HAS UNIQUE HONOR Lois Conover, 9 Years Old, First Girl in World to Use J'ew Voice Amplifier. ' Thousands of pleasureseekers liter ; ally jammed their way into the nark biocks Thursday night to take part in celebrations focused about Festival center. The revelers packed the blocks adjacent to the rostrum with a seething mass of humanity even be fore the fireworks celebration in Multnomah field was concluded. Nearly all of those present packed into the streets near the center for dancing and those who didn't dance listened to the intermittent and im promptu concert put on for their benefit. And they were fully rewarded, for among the features that they saw and heard was the first girl in the world ever to use the recently invented voice amplifier. Honor I,ola Conover. The honor went to Lois Corrover, 9-year-old daughter of A. M. Conover of 430 East Fortieth street North. It all came about when those who were sponsoring: the festivities at the center were suddenly con fronted by the necessity of providing; entertainment for a crowd which far exceeded their expectations. They were forced to provide impromptu entertainment lnstanter, and through Fred Carlton they did it. Carlton called for volunteer entertainers, and asked especially for youngsters, as the telephone company which is sup plying the amplifier desired to test out the effect ot children's voice on the instrument. The first of the child volunteers was Miss Conover, who proved that she had an exceptionally sweet and pleasing voice. And so she won the honor of using the same instrument through which President Harding de- live red his inaugural address. Child Called Back. Miss Conover sang "Whispering" with such success that the crowds applauded for more, and she was .'called back for several encores. Then i in quick succession came Ruth Pe terson, 11 years old, who recited "Our Hired Girl" with great ef fectiveness, and Mary and Anne Har old, who sang duets, and Vella Shel ton, 10 years old, and Mercedes Hick man, S years old, who recited, and Weldon Hyde, 10, who displayed great wnistllng talents. But the programme was not en tirely given over to the children. S. McFarlane gave some pleasing bari tone selections, and David B. Fuller whistled two tunes at one time while the audience danced. M. A. Howard, a professional pianist, volunteered as accompanist for the singers and whistlers. Chimes Are Amplified. One of the most pleasing features of the programme, was the rendition of chimes by the amplifier. The tones were thrown back from the tower of the Congregational church opposite the rostrum and drifted slowly to .the audience below. The amplifier cast a cloud of music for blocks for the dancers, who were forced to specialize in close dances because of the packed crowds. Every one listened to the concert, or danced, and all thoroughly enjoyed them selves, and promised to come back again tonight, and C. E. Hickman of the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph company, who had charge of the amplifier, promised to provide music for everyone. 1 XEWBERC PEOPLE CELEBRATE Winning of Prize in Festival Con test Causes jubilation.

"Reed shall grow as the west grows," he said, "and upon the shoulders of President Scholz rests the responsibility of guiding that development." Leadership Held Sacred. - In accepting the presidency Dr. I Scholz declared that there is no trust more sacred than that of educating and leading young minds. He af firmed his appreciation of the re sponsibility of formulating youthful character in an era beset with such great world problems. "It is with humility and with faith in the future of Reed college that I accept the trust which has been bestowed upon me." said Dr. Scholz. Henry Suzzallo, president of the University of Washington, delivered the congratulatory message to the new president. As an intimate ac quaintance of Dr. Scholz, through the Reed president's long term at the Washington university, he congratu lated Reed upon securing for an exec utlve a man who cherished intellec tual quality rather than intellectual quantity and fostered broad spiritual and humanistic vision. Fundamental Problems Told. President Suzzallo made clear the distinction between the former con ception of the college as an institu tion dominated by idealism and the present-day college which combines idealism and realism in education. "Human ideals may be realized only. when they are projected upon the facts controlling the behavior or men and women," he said. "The menace of modern civilization is) over-spe cialization. Men have lost tneir mu tual interest and manifest a lack of sympathy In the affairs of their fel lows." President Suzzallo outlined the three fndamental problems be fore the modern college as that of making ' men appreciative of their fellow men, the destruction of publio dependency . upon economic leaders and the production of citizens of in telligence, wisdom and good taste. Realism to Be Recognised. "Education must have its roots in the soil. Education divorced from life is sterile, abstract and doctrin aire." declared President Scholz. "It shall be Reed's aim to combine ideal ism with realism . in education, to project ideals upon the actual facts of life." "Liberal Education" was the sud- ject of President Scholz" innaugural address. "Liberal Education" he de fined as "the education of liberty, of free mind, a free body and a tree soul, endowed with a fitness for freedom. While former President Foster at the laying of Reed s corner-stone spoke of the "Pioneer and the Fron tier." President Scholz intimated that fitting subject for his address wnnM ho the "Disappearance oi Frontiers." "The frontiers are gone, he asserted. "We are now a world of economically interdependent tions, a commonwealth of neighbors We have arrived at the second cnap ter nf human development when his torv will dea nereasingiy wiin human relationships." World Task Faced. Political and economical standard! zation have been achieved but the ereatest world problem, that of the reconciliation of races, cultures, . unrestricted religions is yet unsolved according to Uie Reed president, mi problem is most keenly reit upon in Pacific coast and Reed must tral: men and women of intellects broad Anoweh to cnDe with it. Outlining: the future course "of Reed college. President Scholz declared that henceforth instruction shall attempt to reconcile the human sciences with the natural sciences to obtain the perfection of education. Harvard Greetings Spoken. A. L. Mills, welcoming Dr. Schol on behalf of the citizens of Portland also brought the greetings of fel lowshin from Harvard. Dr. F. Griffin, representing the Reed fac ultv. assured the new president o the fullest co-operation. "In Presi dent Scholz," said Dr. Griffin, "Reed has secured a leader who will per petuate those ideals upon which the college was founded."

Sumner opened the impressive ceremonies with an invo cation, and following the benediction by Rev. Thomas Lamb Eliot, the pro gramme was closed with a reces' sionai.

G. Danlells. The connection of prophetic pas sages in scripture with present-day events was the theme of Dr. Arthur G. Danlells, president of the world conference of Seventh-Day Advent ists, in a sermon delivered to a large audience at the camp meeting at Creston park, on the Mount Scott car line, Thursday night. Dr. Danlells has traveled extensive ly in the devastated regions of Eu rope and has studied relief work in the stricken districts. He covered the political, financial, social and spiritual conditions in the world to day and pointed out their correspond ence with prophetic Bible passages. "The Bible forecast the rise and fall of all the great empires that have come and gone," declared Dr. Danlells. "These utterances dealt specifically with what the prophets termed the last days of human history. "Prevailing conditions now answer remarkably to the predictions made by prophets thousands of years ago. "What is the reason for the pre dictions we find in the scriptures re garding last-day conditions in the world? The reason given by the ancient seers was that the world might know what these things mean that they might prepare for the climax that Is coming." As a means of instilling confidence, the girl patrons of the Y. W. C. A. swimming pools at Toronto, Canada, are encouraged to learn trick swim ming and as a result they have a great variety of water stunts to show.
