WELL EQUIPPED FOR WORK 6clentiric Method of Training Are ill rse, and Results Already Achieved Xew Departments Added This Year. Erectetwo Tr ago wHh th" "Po tation that 1t would meet conditions for wvcnl jwri at least, the East Bide IH'.gh School during' the past week had : an attendance of 1063, whereas the c ; padty of the entire building Is 106S. There is a direct gain of 25 students over :Ba attendance of last year and there are 3W new students in the building. Few colleges haws so large a body of stu ' dents as can be found In the East Side ' High School, and certainly none is bet ' ter equipped to afford a practical educa 1 tlon education of the head and the hand. As one wanders through the wide, si i lent halls of this big building, there is , nothing to indicate that back of the ! closed doors of the class rooms are more than KM young men and women, fitting themselves for the practical conditions : of life: but the gong rings and the here ', to fore silent halls become filled with i young people passing from one period to .'another. If one happens to be caught fm one of the wide, halls, he will have (some Idea of what a football scrimmage : Is and win look for a protecting niche, or he may find himself pulled into a recitation room In a twinkling. Profes ' sor H. H. Herdman. the principal, has his office on the second floor and besides ' himself, the Board of Education has as sembled a faculty gathered from the leading college of the country. Oregon schools being well represented. New Departments. Some new and Important departments have been added. Full courses in manual training and domestic science have been established. Principal Herd man said he considered these courses of vast Importance. Students graduate from these courses the same as from any of the other courses. In the man ual training department there are eight terms, with mechanical drawing In them all. The first term begins with lettering, freehand dimensions, sketches from cast ings and mechanical objects, and as the student progresses he undertakes ad vanced work In the shop. including molding and pattern-making, light forg ing, drawing and tempering, wood-carving and cabinet work, braxing and forg ing tools, and finally architecture and de sign. All the way through, there is shop work. In the basement are the work shops, where are the lathes and band saws, operated by electricity, where the student handles the tools In person and does things. Equipment In the manual training- department is complete In every way and there Is a large class. In con nection with the manual training course are the usual literary studies, rounding out the student's education. v. r.. Chrlstensen is the shopman, who gives his entire time to Instructions In the shops. "Vt do not turn out finished carpen ters and mechanics." said Professor Herdman. "but young men learn how to do things, and really are more compe tent than many workmen who are paid large wages. These young men learn to do things here." School for Homomakers. Then there comes the domestic science department, perhaps the most interest ing and important In this big building, under Miss L411an Tingle. Principal Herdman opens a class-room door and one sees 26 or young women, with rosy cheeks, preparing food of all kinds, looking neat and dainty In their white aprons, the mothers and homemakers of the foture. "This department Is full and over flowing." said Principal Herdman. "It was started as an experiment, but Is no longer an experiment. It Is a complete success." Adjoining the kitchen, where the prac tical work is done, la the recitation or demonstration room, where the work is completed. Here. also, is a table where the students are taught how to serve the food. Students are taught the value of foods by chemical analysis. It would do the people of Portland good If they could see these hearty, healthy and enthusiastic young women at work In this depart ment, which is the best-equipped In the country. In connection with the domestic science course there are full lines of literary studles. mathematics, eclenee. history. iFligllsh literature. drawing. nothing being left out that will round out a thoroughly educated home-maker. Prin cipal Herdman Is particularly enthusiastic over the remarkable success that has attended the establishment of this de partment. He regards It of equal Im portance to manual training. No norc - competent teacher could have reen se cured than Miss Tingle. No money has been spared In fitting up the manual training and domwtlc science depart ment. Fine laboratories. While this Is true the other labora tories In the buildings have been also finely equipped. Prorlttlng by ex . perlence of skilled men the Board of Education spared no money "In equip ping the chemical laboratory. In this laboratory the air Is kept sweet and pur by a two-horse power motor which drives out of the room all fumes of the chemicals used In experiments. Principal Herdman says that no col lege In the country has a better or more complete equipment In Its chem ical laboratory than the East ilde High School. The lecture room adjoins the laboratory. Laboratories of the physics, geogrsphy and art have been fitted up without regard to cost. The art department under the charge of Professor Wenti Is full of Interest. In thts department free-hand drawing from models Is taught. New Teachers. Eleven new teachers have been added to the faculty and these are: Virgil B. Earle. of the University of Oregon, history and mathematics; V. E. Chrls teneeo. In charge of the shop: Miss E.

A committee of ten mem bers of the faculty supervises the school publication and assists the edi tors in preparing copy.

Thirty staiwari, ronusi yuuiis fellows- have come forward for practice under the direction of Dr. Paul Rader. "Just what we shall do to the other fellows," grimly remarked Principal Herdman. "perhaps It would be better to wait until the season comes to a close to find out. It would probably be the part of wisdom to make no pre dictions at this time. "But with the fine material at hand the coaches are likely to turn out a good team at least. For athletics In general, basketball, etc.. arrangements have been made to use the gymnasium of the Hassalo-street Congregational Church. Dr. Rader. of the Hassalo street Church. Is very popular wfth the students, as he has been training them for the past year. Literary Societies Organised.

U. to Observe Twenty-Fifth Anniversary. WILL OPEN ON WEDNESDAY Leaders in WIilte-Rlbbon Move ment From All Parts of State Will Attend Convention in Taylor-Street Church. ADA WALLACE UNRCH. The" dainty silver-tinted programme proclaiming the 36th anniversary of the organization of the Oregon Woman's Christian Temperance Union are now out and give promise of an unusually Inter esting session. The convention will be held In the Taylor-Street Methodist Episcopal Church, where Miss Wlllard organised the state union a quarter of 1 Mrs. Henrietta Brown, President I of Oregon W. C. T. U. J I a century ago. Mrs. Hessie J. Shane, who was at the first convention and who has been the very efficient state treas urer for' 20 years, will give the reminis cences, assisted by some of the veterans Mrs. Hoxter. Mrs. L. A. P. White and others who have done things in the mak ing of W. C. T. U. history in Oregon, The principal speaker of the convention will be Rev. Eugenie St, John, from Kan sas, and of National reputation. Mrs: St. John will speak on Thursday ' even ing. The W. C. T. U. makes one of Its most Important lines of endeavor the training of men and women for temper ance, so two evenings will be given to some phases of that work. Wednesday evening will be "Y. and L. L. L." night. To the Initiated this means that the young woman's and the children's part in the reformation of the country will be under discussion. How to evolve tem perance voters and educators will be the living theme, which will be presented by Mrs. Harford and Mrs. Unruh, who are specialists In these lines. Friday evening will be, to some, the event of the convention. This will be the occasion of the diamond medal contest. In which a class of young men and women will compete In an oratorical con test for the possession of a beautiful diamond medal, which manifestly only one can win. It will be a good-natured contest, for as 'hard as It will be to believe, these contestants will be" more anxious to make temperance sentiment than to win the medal. They will, how ever, work hard to win and In that we will be assured of a fine and entertain ing programme. Mrs. Henrietta Brown's president's an nual address will be of an unusually fine character, reviewing the wonderful progress of the last 25 years, and giving the watch word for the coming months, fraught with such moment for the cause for which the whlte-ribboners have la bored all these years. The correspondence would lead us to believe that an unusually large delega tion will be In attendance this year. Some are already in the city and many will come this week. The year is clos ing with great promise of a more than ordinary corps of workers for the new year. All sessions will be open to the public and will be of interest to those who are at all In touch with any phase of reform work. The W. C. T. U. has initiated almost all of the modern move ments carried on by women and in some form are still active In them. If you have ever believed that the W. C. T. U. Is not worth while, come to the convention and listen to the reports and discussions. Are you interested In the Audubon Society? Come In and hear of our mercy department.

Mount Tabor Mothers Hear Papers by Dr. J. A- Pettlt and Mrs. French. . At a well-attended meeting of the Mount Tabor Home Training Circle, held in the West-avenue Schoo Mrs R. H. Tate presiding, the topic. When Does a Mother's lnnTu?ce ft "nd was discussed by Dr. J. A Pettlt and Mrs F. H. French. Dr. Pettlt spoke from the standpoint of a Physician and aer discussing heredity and the opinion held concerning it. said. It appears more rational to accept the contention that proper environ ment improves the virtuous gifts and mitigates the sinful Instincts of hered ity and that Improper environment will surely blight a promising heritage and urge onward with terrific force the development of vicious traits. Ob servation shows us that more influ ence is required to develop the good than" to develop the bad instincts of a human mind, and I believe there is no human being without Instincts both good and bad, either one of which may be brought out or smothered, but not eliminated by environment. "But to come to the question, 'When Does a Mother's Influence Really Be gin r it certainly does not begin at the birth of her child, nor at a later period; it does not begin with nor dur ing the period of pregnancy. Accord ing to the theories of heredity, the be ginning of her Influence commences with her ancestors, generations back. To answer the question of the after noon as shortly as possible. I would state that a mother's influence is ac tually begun during her own develop mental life by the environments to which she is subjected. Further, her greatest degree of direct influence be gins when she becomes a mother, reaches Its greatest potentiality during the child's youthful career, and gradu ally declines thereafter. However, a good mother's influence never ceases, not even with the advent of death." Mrs. F. H. French, speaking from a mother's standpoint, said: "A mother's influence really never begins It always is. The law which underlies true kindergarten work is the law that brings out harmony In the home and arrives at perfection in the child's character. We cannot hope to work out the whole plan of life at once, but we can, by proving the parts that come to us hourly, at least gain an Idea of the perfection of universal and human activity as governed by the one law of life." Mrs. French urged mothers to bring their -influence to bear along the old fashioned lines, as she termed them, of obedience, self-control, companion ship and confidence. A kindergarten class of IS was in augurated under the auspices of the Circle. tMiss Hatton. from St. Helens Hall, Is teacher. All parents seemed enthusiastic over the class, and re sponded liberally with contributions. A new set of library books for mothers will be ready at the next meeting. Exposition Rink Opens Monday. After being closed for the Summer season, the Exposition skating rink will open Monday night with great splendor. The rink has been remodeled and De Caprio will furnish the music. A clean, careful and healthful policy has been adopted and the Exposition rink will be a model amusement place. There are thousands of Portland peo ple that enjoy the fascinating pastime and skating will be prominent among the Winter pastimes. Japan's Rice Crop Increases. NEW YORK,, Oct 3.
