THE STJXDAY OKEGOXIAN, PORTLAND. SEPTEMBER 15, 1907. LET THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM KEEP PACE WITH CITY'S COMMERCIAL GROWTH Prominent Educator in Final Article Points Out Some Defects in Portland's Schools and Suggests a Remedy in Co-operation Between Teacher and Pupil. FINAL ARTICLE BY A PROMINENT EDUCATOR. PAR he It from the purpose of the writer of these articles to say one word that shall lessen the effi ciency of Portland's school system. No one knows better, perhaps, than he, that the present supervising and teaching corps is In the main com posed of men and women of earnest purpose and conscientious effort, and that the net results of the output of our schools is, to use a commercial phrase, a matter of greater pride than is felt or expressed by school patrons. When school matters run so smooth ly (hat they are the subject of no spe cial Interest, something is at fault. What Is needed is as much .public in terest In the schools of our city as we display In our commercial growth and welfare. What Portland 'would be 25 years from today must be taught in the school room of today. If hon esty and integrity are to be basic factors, the schools must weave these elements Into the warp and woof of the child'a education not as a side is sue, but by well-directed effort. If we are to have business foresight, busi ness conscience, civic pride in adorn ment, intelligence and cleanliness, not our schools alone but our citizens at large must be taking time to think on these things. If our schools fall short, when compared with those of states from which our rapidly-growing popu lation is coming, It is high time that we set about to remedy these defects. Lot no one condemn the writer be came he finds things to criticise he can find many more to praise, but it does' not suit his purpose to eulogize, because growth comes more from hon est dirsatlsf action than from dreamy contentedness. The time Is past when men occupying positions Involving the weighing of values can be less than skilled experts. A Mayo or a Lorena Is not satisfied with his own neces sarily narrowed experience, but Fearchcs for printed opinions and, still unsatisfied, travels far to compare his beliefs with others. We need men at the head of our schools made of the same eager stuff, men who are grap pling with educational problems at the fountain head, the great National ossenihlles of educators, men who are students among students and who are impelled by self-initiative to blaze new roads that lead more directly toward today's needs. It Is a matter of regret that Oregon is rarely heard from when educational councils are In session and that our several city schools do not possess stronger types of.. Individuality and growth. If the Introduction of a few fads would beget this espirlt de corps this disposition to keep In touch with the last deliver ence on mooted questions, then let the fads come, for purposeful co-operation which may overshoot reasons is better thar. watching the clock for the time of tne gong and the clerk's check. When the present hard-working suverlntendeiit Is retired let him be followed by a man of well-balanced ex perience and broad culture a man whose voice will arrest the attention of educational councils as the heads of departments In our Agricultural Col lege are doing in their chosen fields. DR. WILBUR F. CRAFtS TELLS OF AIMS AXD PCRPOSES. " Organized to Fight Four Great Evils in Every Country of the Globe. Lectures tor Today. Dr. Wilbur F. Crafts, superintendent f the International Reform Bureau reaches in the First Presbyterian Church it 10:30 o'clock this morning. This after loon at 3:30 o'clock he addresses the Y. U. C. A., when Mayor Lane will preside. He preaches this evening in the Taylor Street Methodist Church on "That Boy ind Girl of Yours. I' Monday at 10:30 A. H., Ir. Grafts speaks before the minis lers' union in the same church. He leaves Portland Monday night. While In the !lty Dr. Crafts will be the guest of Rev. a. L. Tufts, 865 First street. "The International Reform Bureau is kased on four great principles, attacks lour great evils, by four methods, in lour fields and by four forces," said Dr. afU yesterday. "The four great prin siples are: "Right relations among men, required y the second great commandment, do not tpring spontaneously from right relations with God, but must be developed by (duration and organization. "Ar the Individual Is saved by the cross f Christ, the community must be saved y his crown, that is, by making the laws f Christ, little by HtUe. the laws of busl iess and politics and pleasure. "Environment affects conversion before ind after, and the churches should there lore unite to create a favorable moral invironment, especially for children and :hild races. "As all vices co-operate, and all virtues ire related. Christian churches and cltl '.ens should promote all true reforms lot one alone. "The big four evils we fight most of ill are: Intemperance, Impurity, Sab-ath-breaking and gambling, which are lour sides of one frowning fortress, that ill good citizens should attack on all lides. We attack these by four methods, lamely: By legislation, letters, lectures ind literature. The four fields are; Local, late. National and international. Congress has enacted 12 important laws, elating to impurity, divorce, the Sabbath, ind intoxicants, that were drawn by the Jureau. which also defeated a bad law o legalize' race gambling in the District if Columbia, and another of like purpose a the Pennsylvania Legislature. The Bureau's Pacific Coast district secretary Irew and carried to victory the new Sun lay law of Idaho, which is working well, h all State Legislatures good laws will te promoted by our secretaries, and bad aws defeated. Locally law enforcement I'lll be aided wherever they go as lec urers. Much can be done by Interviews if such experts with public officials. The ureau's very extensive files of informa lon are made widely useful by corres ondence. "Our International specialty is to in orm and arouse and express public senti ent in favor of a treaty of all civilized fovernments to prohibit the sale of ln oxirants and opium to uncivilized and ipwly civilized races. "The emancipation of China having be ome assured by the action of the British nd Chinese governments, to which the nternational Reform Bureau materially ontributed, the way is open to drive the rhite man's rum also from the mission elds, in the name of conscience and of ortimerce. There is no reason to expect proposal wtll succeed without a . rorld-wide agitation, nor Is there any ood reason to expect It will fafl if sup orted adequately by international public tntiment. which undoubtedly exists, but lust be aroused and expressed. The four forces united In our interna If the salaries paid our principals are not enough to warrant their attend ance upon the courses in higher edu cation at our great university Summer schools, then Portland should pay high enough to get such men. We cannot afford not to afford It. As a city we can afford to have men of no other type than men whose scholarship, like Chaucer's person, will point to bright er worlds and lead the way. Something is wrong in our system when Spokane and Tacoma enroll as many High School students as Port land. We suspect that this lack' of ambition on the part of grammar grade students is due. in great meas ure, to the lack of stimulating influ ence which principals should exert over them at this time of storm and stress in the student's life. It is a question of broader-minded men and women against roustabouts. Men and women of only common-school equipment sooner or later are passed on the road toward positions of value and Influence- by those who started later but with a better equipment. If Portland wishes her boys to be rousta bouts, then city indifference to higher education will easily reach this end. The boy who smokes cigarettes and earns a dollar and a half today will be smoking cigarettes and earning but little more 10 years from today. It Is not to be expected, however, that men and women lacking higher edu cation will effectively lead our chil dren above their own standard. Portland has either reached the size when it should maintain a city normal training school of high standards edu cationally and professionally, and aban don at once the inbreeding pupil teacher department or support our state normal schools as other cities are doing. Above all things. Portland has discovered, during the past year, that she has needed a more cosmopol itan spirit. In spite of much con servatism the bars are now broken down and the city is forging ahead commercially. Just this same spirit of larger vision must lay hold upon our school system. ' The majority of our teachers are ef ficient and progressive, but public serv ice knows no favoritism, and without fear or favor, some should be given timely warning that their services will be no longer required. With a board membership of at least seven, now that the city has outgrown Its old ' bounds, a more representative and ex acting business administration will be effected. It is greatly to be hoped that the school buildings hereafter erected will serve as a stimulus to civic pride and still maintain an Interior construc tion that Is both hygienic and well adapted to all. demands. That the lawns about our buildings should give way to playgrounds can be the sub ject of no controversy. Fresh air against dusty, sunless basements is a question the public will quickly set tle if allowed to do so. With the in troduction of the fan system of ventila tion into every building, whereby the child may have pure air, not the stuffy schoolroom-smelling sort, now all too common, should come the removal of every toilet from the basement Into a tional crusade, are: The reform organiza tion, the missionary societies, the cham bers of commerce, the governments. The Bureau has 12 lecturers constantly at work, one in Australia, one In Canada and ten in the United States." MILWAUKIE CLUB CLOSED Visit to Clackamas Resort Discloses Few Signs of Life. OREGON CITY, Or., Sept. 14. (Spe cial.) The Milwaukie Country Club is still closed tight, despite reports to the contrary; and a visit to the place tonight disclosed the fact that only the bar is open and the patronage is light. For a week or two after Dis trict Attorney Hedges, of Clackamas Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts, Who Ar rived In Portland Yesterday. County, closed the place, the restaur ant was operated, but at a financial loss, and this department was final ly closed. The club's liquor license is paid for- to the City of Milwaukie in advance, and this Is the only reason that that portion of the club Is not dark. Sheriff Beatie, of Clackamas County, was advised tonight that the club was in operation, and went to Milwaukie and satisfied himself that there is no truth in the report. The only sign of life about the place is a few hangers on and the barkeeper. Sheriff Beatie is in constant touch with Milwaukie and will be promptly notified in the event that an attempt la made to re open the club. District Attorney Hedges has gone to Astoria, but his brother. State Sen ator Hedges, who represents the Country Club in a legal capacity, said tonight that he had no idea that an attempt would be made to resume operations at the Milwaukie gambling resort. Hardman' Weds Albany Girl. ALBANY, Or., Sept. 14. (Special.) Lloyd W. Hardman, a Portland book keeper, who is a son of former County Re corder Frank Hardman. of Linn County, and a nephew of Captain H. U. Welch, of the First Battery, O. N. G., of Portland, secured a marriage license here today to wed Miss Grace Swan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Swan, of this city. They will be married in this city tomorrow afternoon. Metzrer & Co.. Jewelers. 142 Wuh. at. - ft. 4 A f separate building. These changes, with the fjdoption of medical inspection of buildings and pupils - whereby disease may be separated from health, and dirt from" cleanliness, are precautions of pressing need. To this end also the erection of 20-room buildings with lit tle or no playgrounds should give way to smaller ones with both roof and ground playyards where pupils may re lax tension and fill their lungs with air. Our physical director, whose work has often been the subject of city pride, might well modify his course so that for part of tie time, at least, a relaxation exercise, hearty and happy, might take the place of those now calling for concerted effort on the part of teacher and pupil. It Is to be regretted that many of the principals look upon instruction In manual .training as immaterial and ir relevant, and do not support the In troduction of this long-delayed in struction with hearty co-operation. That cooking, sewing and an ele mentary course In nursing would be time well spent, even if it took the place of mathematics for the girls, cannot be seriously questioned. The knowledge of what constitutes hygienic cooking, even if the daughter of the home may never cook, is of higher life value than to be able to thrum a few selections from the masters in music Why Portland should refuse to es tablish1 kindergartens in connection with its school system Is hard to un derstand, when most cities of our size have done so is another question an aroused public should help to solve- as well also as that of why a thorough going commercial course is not a part of the high school curriculum. It is to be deeply regretted that those teachers who believe In teaching morals are not warmly supported by the supervising corps, and that some wholly. Ignore both the teaching and practicing of this branch required by law to be taught. Again we Bay an aroused1 public sentiment is needed to restore this branch to its normal place. If ever there was need for deep-set in fluences making for civic righteousness it is now. That that spirit of co-operation be tween all concerned in public instruc tion in a neighboring city so markedly In contrast with our own lack of it, will find a place in our system only when it Is Invited by supervisor and those supervised is clearly seen. It is the one great defect in our system, yet easily remedied. The child will al ways be of more value than the course of study, and the teacher's good will of vastly greater Importance than her tacit loyalty. Teachers, above all others, need thai inspiration and initi ative which comes from hearty sup port and encouragement. Again the writer wishes to say In closing that Portland has much to be proud of in her public school system. To the casual observer the course of study and administration Is all that could be desired. That an aroused pub lic interest will rise to the occasion and place Portland's public schools in a position of the best among the best is the belief of this critic. E JUDGE M'BRIDE'S BUSY DAT AT OREGON CITY. Troubles of Genini Family Are Aired and Child Given Into Cus tody of Grandparents. OREGON CITY, Or.. Sept 14. (Special.) The Clackamas County divorce mill ground out 15 decrees this afternoon. Judge McBrlde returned from his annual vacation today and was kept busy sep arating men and women' whose domestic life had not been happy. Three new suits were filed, and in the case of Edea E. Wagner vs.. E. G. Wag ner, the plaintiff filed her complaint and secured personal service of summons on her husband and obtained her decree. The Wagners were married February 2, 1907, In Portland, Or., and she alleges that he was insanely jealous, that he abused her and threatened to kill ' her and her friends. The troubles of the Genini family were again Introduced In court through a suit for a divorce instituted by Mrs. Elma L. Genini.
