Physical Director Robert Krohn.
The famous drill of Portland's public
school children is to take place on Mult
nomah Field next Tuesday afternoon, and
this magnificent spectacle will be on a
bigger and grander basis than the drill
in the Rose Festival parade of 1D07, on
which occasion Portland gained wide
spread fame for the splendid performance
of its school children.
Arrangements for the coming drill have
been completed and highly capable or
ganization of principals, teachers and
pupils have been gathered together under
the direction of Professor Robert Krohn
for this huge undertaking. The magni
tude of this drill can be better Imagined
when it is announced that 4600 children
are to participate in the various forma
tions next Tuesday afternoon, June 9.
There will be a total of 23 regiments of
children, with each regiment composed of
200 of Portland's splendid younger genera
tion, And these children will represent 31
different schools. t Special arrangements
have been made with the Portland Rail
way, Light & Power Company for the
conveying the children to Multnomah
Field, where the big drill- is to take place.
From 60 to 60 cars will be required to
transport the little ones, together with
their teachers to the drill grounds, and
all the preliminary arrangements for this
have been completed. Each teacher and
each individual pupil has been Instructed
as to the meeting places and the order
in which they shall participate In the
gigantic drill.
The division of children has been 'di
vided into three classes. The first class
STATE TEACHERS TO MEET AT EUGENE
Annual Conventi on to Open Next Thursday for Three Days' Session.
The eighth annual convention of the
State Teachers' Association, Western
division, will be held at L;ugene from
Thursday morning, June 25, to Saturday
night. June 27. R. F. Robinson, state
president, yesterday announced the pro
gramme, which is an unusually Interest
ing and attractive one. All indications
are for a most profitable, instructive and
entertaining time, with the largest at
tendance ever known to the organization.
Great care has been taken to arrange
this year's programme with three prin
cipal objects in view instruction of a
special nature on school finances, history,
geography and language. Arithmetic has
been eliminated In order to give time for
these subjects, and while there are other
Interesting and Important matters to be
considered, the convention will run large
ly to the trio of problems named.
Prominent among those who will par
ticipate are: Elwood P. Cubberly, pro
fessor of education, Stanford University;
Edward Hyatt, Superintendent of Public
Instruction, - California; Albert Bushnell
Hart, of Harvard University; Effie B.
McFadden, of San Francisco State Nor
mal School; A. C. Nelson, Superintendent
of Public Instruction for Idaho. Many
others, prominent in state, city and
county work, will take part.
Problem of Finance Difficult.
One of the greatest problems of educa
tional work now before the state is the
question of finance. President Robinson
appointed a committee last year to inves
tigate this matter, and a report will be
made at the coming convention. The
committee is composed of H. D. Sheldon,
of Eugene; E. T. Marlatte, of Salem; C.
M. Kiggins, of Portland; L. R. Traver. of
Monmouth, and E. T. Moores. of Salem.
Music for the convention will be under
the supervision of Professor I. M. Glen,
of the University of Oregon. In addition
to the convention of the state associa
tion, the annual institutes for Lane and
Douglas counties will be held in Eugene
simultaneously. Owing to the recent vic
tory for the University of Oregon, located
at Eugene, the people of the Valley town
are especially happy, and are making
every effort to excel In hospitality and
entertainment all previous events. Thurs
day night, at 8 o'clock, the Eugene Com

delegates and visitors.

W. W. Kim
ball's Seven
Great Factories.
Quantity Making
and Quantity Selling
Cause the Savings in
Which You Share
The above are factors when combined virtually
means from "Factory to homes" with the least pos
sible advance over actual cost orlce.
First The makers, W. W. Kimball Co., with their
Immense seven finely equipped factories covering
over 17 acres about double the capacity of any other
in their line In the world quantity producing over
60.000 pianos and organs yearly and with a large
cash capital and a ready sale and demand for their
products, the cost of manufacture and sale Is redied,
to the minimum estimated at least one-fourth Tess
than any other and In this you share In buying a
Kimball.
Second The Sellers Ellers Piano House with am
ple capital and '.0 well-orsanized stores located at
different points In the Northwest and on the Pacific
Coast under one management one general office
one buying center thereby reducing the fixed general
expanse to the very lowest posprole amount. We
mention particularly that In buying any article, be it
a suit of clothes, a wagon, carriage, or a piano. In fact
anything, the cost and a certain proportion of all ex
penses to the time you buy must be included In the
firiee therefore If in manufacturing the cost can be
essened without sacrlflring quality and durability, and
then the cost of selling he made the lewest which can
only be accomplished through selling large numbers of
Instruments at about same expense others sell a few
then and only then haj, one firm an advantage over
another. The Great Ellers Organization of 40 stores
not only accomplishes ail the savings mentioned above,
but still another Important item of economy that of
Quantity Buying. Two thousand, sometimes three
thousand pianos, are bought at one time this Is espe
cially true of the Kimball Factories, and then the
great saving in shipping the pianos by carloads with
out boxes "In harness." thereby saving about J25 In
freight, besides cost of box, eic.
So in the purchase and freighting we economize still
further more ravings for our patrons because we
give these savings back to our customers in a
lessened price when thry purchase, and why riot?
By so doing we do not lessen our yearly earn
ings on our capital invested we merely do more
business to make up for it, and naturally a bet
ter class of business because careful, frugal
buyers invariably center around a reliable, de
pendable store: one that lias their customers' in
terests at heart and gives a full, big dollar's
value for every dollar invested in a piano or any
other musical instrument.
To accomplish the advantages explained
Rbove. the Ellers Piano House knew that Quan
tity Making, If combined with Quantity Selling,
on progressive methods, would cause savings
for their customers that would bring to their
stores the largest business In their line in the
West and H has more than double that of any
other house on the Coast.
Tou can now share In the economy of this
great organization If you need a piano and
will call fct the store or write us. Cut out the
