rj EVV HIGH SCHOOL
FULL TO CAPAGITY
East Side Institution Gains
250 Over Attendance of
Last Year.
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

bers of the faculty supervises the
school publication and assists the edi

School Athletics. .
Of course a great school like the
East Side High School has athletics.
George Frailer was elected manager
of the football team and Anson Cornell
captain. Rev. Paul Rader. an all-
..huta anri member of Mult
nomah football team. Is the head coach
for the team. He has lor nis msisimiis

Fenstermacher, Princeton's former
great halfback, and Professor Earle.
formely a tackle of the University of
1 1 fnvthflll t m nnlriereH one
of the best all-around players In the
country. 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.

the people of Portland have reason to
feel proud of the East Side High School.
The average taxpayer, perhaps, is not
aware of the fact that it Is one of the
finest and best-equipped high school
buildings In the Northwest. The hot
lunches, which proved so popular last
year, are continued and are a permanent
feature. About SO are provided with
lunches dally.

Oregon W. C..T. 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. Do you think
that child labor should claim the atten
tion of women? Why. then, come and
hear that we are and have been workers
in this reform. Would you have wars
to cease? Come when the peace depart
ment reports. Have you claimed that
the medicine bottle is the great devil's
device to destroy? Come, then, and
learn that Edward Bok came to the W.

INFLUENCE OF THE MOTHER
INTERESTING SUBJECT BEFORE
HOME TRAIXIXG CIRCIE.
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

A clean, careful and healthful policy

rink will be a model amusement place.
There are thousands of Portland peo
ple that enjoy the fascinating pastime
