SELECTION OF AUTHORS Miss Mary Isom, Librarian, GiTes Interesting Talk on te of Books as Literature In 'the Pub lic School Work. At the Portland Public Library, yestr dar afternoon, a meetlnic of county tachers was held to dlscuaa books for children, a moat important subject and m feature that is happily Included in th school curriculum. The session was a representative one. with teachers and vis Itors in attendance from all over Mult nomah county. Miss Mary Fram-es Isom. the librarian, nave an Interesting; and Instructive talk, which was mostly a piea for the use of books as literature In the schools. The practical side of reading aloud, was a sub ject of discussion, the accepted Idea pre vailing that as nearly as possible a book should be read from cover to cover, let ting; the author tell his own story and allowing it to sink Into the receptive mind of the child In the form the author in tended It to take. A book not suitable to be read as written. Is not suitable to be read at all. In this general discussion the choice of books with reference to how and when they should be r.ad was considered, the thought maintaining "that a little read ing is a dangerous thing, a great deal of reading is more dangerous, and no 'read ing whatever is most uangerous." Evolution of Heading. Miss Isom's talk dealt with the evolu tion of reading, begining with the hom-book--a thin volume, coated with horn, made in 140. and forming the nucleus around wnich later reading developed. This was followed by the ginger-bread letters of wnich an old English verse says: "To Master John the- English malde A horn-book gift, of finger-bread And that the childe may learn the better. As he can name, he eats each letter. Proceeding thus wita vast delight, lie spells. and gnawa from left to right." Miss lsoms talk next dealt wall the backed speller, Lindley Murray, readers of the last half century and readers of today. She maintained mat 75 per cent of the children of today leave school with no knowledge of the laws which enable them to Judge between good books and bad ones, and that the greatest respon sibility lies on the parents and teachers of the child to aid in Its learning these laws. ' History as a Batis. History was given as a basis on 'which to found a love for literature, since all politics, romance, poetry, song and drama has history for Its foundation. Dickens, it was suggested, should be read in small portions each day. containing as it does, such keen portrayals of life and delinea tions of character which modern novels totally lack. At a recent teachers' institute meeting the following books were chosen for chil dren In the mixed schools, showing tiie per cent of votes recorded for each: First. "Ivanhoe" (nine votes). Second. "Scottish Chiefs" (six votes). Third. "Thaddeus of Warsaw" (six votes). Fourth. "Up From Slavery" (six votes). Fifth. "John Halifax. Gentleman" (four votes). Sixth. "Boy'a King Arthur" (two votes). Seventh. "Lorna Doone" (two votes). At the meeting yesterday several selec tions of books to be read aloud were given. Beginning with Dickens' "Child's His tory of England." the child will naturally next want Scotts' "Talisman" and "Ivan hoe" which may in turn be followed by the "Robin Hood Legends." historical plays of Shakespeare, Yonge's "Prince an.l the Page" and stories from Chaucer. Bunyan may next be read. Other Anthors Itecomniended. Xxt may be read Frederick Locker Lampson's "Rose and the Ring" and Charles Kingsley's "'The Water Babies." Of poetry the list was of length. Long fellow's "Hiawatha" ranking first. In turn came "Paul Revere's Ride," "Evan gpline." "Cburtship of Miles Standlsh," vTale of a Wayside Inn,1' Burns', "Cotter's Saturday Night." v Selections from Coleridge, with Macauley's "Lays of Ancient Rome." Lowell's "Vision of Sir "Launfall," Scott's "Marmion." "Lay of the lAst Minstrel," L,aay or tne iane": Whittier's "Snowbound." Holmes' patrio tic poems, Bryant's "Thanatopsls" and "Fringed Gentian." "Robert O'Llncoln." etc. followed by Tennyson's "Idylls" and "Enoch Arden," Browning's "Pled Piper." It was suggested that Dickens' novels. "Dombey and Son." "Nicholas Nickleby" and "David Copperfield." as well as Cooper's novels would make a basis for good literature, one novel to be read each Winter. Of Interest is the fact that Miss Isom and her assistant Miss Nellie Fox have recently returned from their annual Fall tour among the county schools. At each school la distributed a box of library books, in number from 25 to 60. according to the age and, requirements of the pupils. POSTAL HIS SUIT Granted Right of Way Along Southern Pacific Tracks. MUST PAY FOR PRIVILEGE Jury in Federal Court Finds for Telegraph Company ' and Fires Damages at $66,000 Suit Is Hard Fought by Both Sides. The Pacifio Postal Telegraph-Cable Company won Its suit against the Southern Pacific Company, which was tried ouc before Judge Wolverton in the United States Circuit Court, the Jury hearing the testimony yesterday morning bringing- in, a sealed verdict awarding the railroad company dam ages amounting to J6,000 and grant ing the telegraph company a right of way along the railroad lines between Portland and San Francisco. Judge Wolverton granted the attorneys on both sides 30 days in which to file a motion for a new trial. The suit grew out of the desire of the Postal Company to string its wires along the right of way of the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks. Overtures made to the railroad company were re jected, and as a last resort the Postal Company Instituted condemnation pro ceedings in - the United States Court. The trial, which began last Monday, was stubbornly fought out on both sides for five days. During the trial a great mass of expert testimonv was Introduced. W. D. Fenton, attprney for the Southern Pacific, conducted the case for the railroad, and Frederick V. Holman appeared for the Postal. The contention of Attorney Fenton, In behalf of the railroad company, was that. If permission" should be granted to the Postal Telegraph Company to string Its wires along the right of way of the railroad, it would affect the company's block signal system, which the company was installing as a safety to its trains. A great deal of the expert testimony was Introduced by Attorney Holman to show this would not be the case. The verdict of the Jury prescribes that the wires of the telegraph com pany can be erected along the right of way of the railroad company. They must nlace their poles 25 feet in length and must be holed in the ground to a depth of five feet. It also prescribes that the cross-arms must be 15 feet' from the center of the track and on the opposite side of the track from that used by the western union xeic graph Company, TO PROVIDE MORE REVENUE Oregon Inheritance Law Likely to Be Kevised. SALEM. Or., Jan. 16. (Special.) Early in the present session of the Leg islature a bill will be Introduced, with the approval of the state treasury de partment, for an amendment to the law regulating the inheritance tax that Will, If passed and made effective, greatly Increase the revenues of the state from this source. Under the terms of the present law in this state no estate valued at less than $10,000 s subject to the tax, therefore estates valued at less than that sum escape taxation, even though there may be only col lateral hoirs, or, as sometimes occurs, no heirs whatever, and the estate is de vised to a person or persons not relat ed to the donor. ft the proposed amendment Is passed inheritances over J500 will be sub ject to tax when bequeathed to some one not related to the decedent, and estates of $5000 or over will be taxed If left to collateral heirs. When the legatee Is a direct heir the maximum amount allowed without the Imposition of a tax will remain the same, $10,000. The law provides, however, that $5000 given to any direct heir shall be ex empt from taxation, and that this sum shall be $2000 In the case of collateral heirs. The rate of taxation of Inheritances is one per cent for direct heirs, two per cent for collateral heirs and three to six per cent for all others.

Forcing Religion Disastrous. CHICAGO, Jan. 16. "The habit of making a 60-year-old out of a 10-year-old child Is wrong," said Herbert W. Gates last night to Evanston mothers. "This forcing process In religion,'? he continued, "is as disastrous as in any line. It is a great mistake to spend the time reading the Bible that should be spent talking to our children or play Ing with them. "I will bank more on the children brought up by the parents who are not too pious, but who are able to keerp) the love and conlidence of their chil dren, than I will on those whose par ents pay too much attention to piety." eighteen year, ago Dietrich Wei... of Baltimore, bought two ticket, for th.
