rllE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, JULY 6, 1913.
TEXT BOOK LIST IS
NEARLY COMPLETE
Work Virtually Finished in All
Branches Except Some
Grammar Grades.
UNIFORM PRICE TO PREVAIL
Portland Board Proceeds on Theory
Xpw School Law Is Binding Only
Outside or City and Change
May Xot Occur Here.
Selection of textbooks for the schools
of the state, outside the City of Port
land, probably will be completed with
in the present week. Inasmuch as the
time In' which books can be ordered
from Eastern publishers, so that they
can be here when school opens, is grow
ing' short.
The commission virtually has com
pleted Its work In all branches with
the exception of some of the grammar
grades. The High School list already
Is complete. All changes that are made
now are binding1 for six years, as the
law does not permit a textbook for
a certain branch of study in the same
grade to be changed oftener than once
in six years.
Although the Portland Board of Ed
ucation has gone to the Attorney-General
of the state for an opinion on the
effects of the law on the schools of
the city, the textbook commission, it
is understood, is proceeding on the
theory that the law Is binding only out
side Portland.
While the commission will designate
the changes that are to be made out
side the city. It is probable that no
changes will be made in the books used
In the city. There is a disposition on
thepart of the people. It Is said, to
continue using books now In use here
for another year, thus permitting L. R.
Alderman, the new city superintendent,
to outline a modern course of stndy for
the schools and permitting the board
next year to adopt changes in textbooks
In conformity with his plans.
Under the law textbooks will be sold
to students all over the state at a uni
form price. The question of provid
ing the books free Is made optional
in each district of the state.
The hook selections already made by
the commission are shown in the ac
companying table.

WATSON STARTS CRUSADE
Corporations Are Slow In Paying
Dues, Says Commissioner.
SALEM. Or., July 6. (Special.)
Ralph Watson, Corporation Commis
sioner, has started a crusade against
corporations which fail to pay their
licenses when due. The law requires
that all fees are due July 1 and after
July 15 they become delinquent and if
not paid by August 15, the corpora
tions may be fined $100. The Commis
sioner will request the various Dis
trict Attorneys to start action, when it
is considered necessary, and should
they default, Jie will ask the Governor
to appoint a special prosecutor.
Mr. "Watson also announces that cor
porations have been slow In filing pre
liminary statements. The law provides
that companies doing business and hav
ing stock, bonds, etc., for sale are In
vestment companies and must file the
necessaryj preliminary papers. Compa
nies that have all their stock sold,
must file affidavits to this fact.

Election by Students of Subjects to
Be Pursued Is Expected to Re
sult Jn Better Attendance
and Efficiency.
SAX. EM, Or., July 5. (Special.)
Courses of study In all high schools of
the state, except those'of Portland, will
be materially changed as the result tf
a report filed today by a committee
consisting- of W. R. Rutherford, Mc
Minnville; H. K. Shirk. Enterprise;
Lelah Clark, Heppner; H. H. Erdman
and Hopkin Jenkins, Portland. It is
assured that the courses suggested in
the report will be adopted by the State
Board of Education.
The election by pupils of subjects will
be made much more general and com
prehensive, and It will be possible for
them to eliminate subjects heretofore
compulsory, and take others In their
stead.
Each pupil must study four subjects,
two of which will be elective. The first
year subjects include the following:
English, algebra, Latin, German, Greek,
ancient history, physical geography,
sewing, cooking, agriculture, shop
work, mechanical drawing, freehand
drawing, business correspondence, pen
manship, spelling, typewriting, short
hand, commercial arithmetic and book
keeping. The second year subjects are
English, geometry. Latin. German,
medieval history, English history,
physiology, hygiene, sewing, cooking
and others the same as the first year.
The third year course Includes English,
algebra, Latin, history, physics, sewing,
cooking, etc., and the fourth year in
cludes English, Latin, German, chemis
try biology, civics, and other courses.
Additional Feature Many.
Additional features are that a pupil
may graduate from the high school
without mathematics, the placing ' of
American history In the third instead
of the fourth year, and half a year's
course in civil government. Now and
then a student has been discovered
with a mind unable to cope with the
subject of .mathematics and the com
mittee deemed it wise to provide for
such a course which would allow these
students to be graduated without the
subject. The consent of the principal,
however. Is necessary for the student
to do so.
American history Is made a study of
the third instead of the fourth year,
because experience has shown that a
number of students leave school before
reaching the fourth, and it was felt
that this is a subject upon which they
cannot afford to be ignorant. Under
the present system, civil government
is taugnt in connection with history,
but the committee decided that the sub
ject Is one of enough importance to be
taught separately and made provision
for a course of a half year.
The revised course of study provides
for five courses, and It is intended that
all of them shall be taught only in the
larger high schools. Probably not more
than one of them will be taught in, the
smaller high schools.
As a result of making the elective
system more general it is believed that
the attendances at the various schools
will - be much larger, and the results
more satisfactory. The committee all
made the following suggestions:
A American history and civil government
be required In all courses.
2 Third semester algebra and solid ge
ometry be given in either the third or fourth
year. This arrangement makes possible a
fourth year of mathematics.
3 Physics be taken after one-half year of
geometry.
4 Students electing English and science
as a major should select mathematics as a
minor.
6 There should be a minimum require
ment of apparatus in chemistry and phys
ics. Schools with insufficient apparatus
may give a course In descriptive physics.
6 Teachers- training course be given In
last two years. -
7 Course in business correspondence.
HALF OF HIGH SCHOOL, GRADUATES WILL ATTEND COLLEGE

FIRE IS WELL PREPARED
Bottles of Oil With Wax Corks Laid
by Incendiaries.
SAN DIEGO, July 5. When the fire
department had extinguished, today a
small blaze in a hotel in which more
than 300 persons were sleeping, the
firemen found cans of distillate, bottles
of oil with wax corks turned end down
so the oil would scatter, saturated ex
celsior and an oil-soaked string fuse
extending almost the entire length of
four stores on the ground floor, about
200 feet long.
Of the class of 118 graduated from the Washington High School Wed
nesday night, more than half have already declared their Intention of con
tinuing their studies at Northwest and Eastern institutions of higher learn
ing. Of those who will study further, a goodly proportion will go to the Uni
versity of Oregon. The Oregon Agricultural College will receive a number
of boys, who will take up civil engineering.
The University of Washington, University of California and Stanford are
other Pacific Coast institutions which will receive delegations. Tale and
Harvard will receive the application of at least two of the class.
The graduation of this class took away many of the school's prominent
students. Paul Adams was a. member of the track teams, the basketball
teams and also took an interest in the Lens, the school paper. The accom
panying portraits were not included In the group of Washington High School

T
Present Dominance of President Re
calls Cleveland's Attempt to Sway
Upper Body Sugar and
AVool Are Big Issues.
OHEGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington June 80. So completely does
President Wilson dominate the United
States Senate that the Democrats of
mat body, against their better judg
ment, have agreed to place wool and
sugar on the free list, whereas, If the
Democrats voted their honest convio
tlons, a moderate duty would be re
tained on both commodities.
The situation in the present Senate
contrasts strikingly with the situa
tion that prevailed In the Senate when
Grover Cleveland was President, and
sought to force the Senate to do his
bidding, without result.
When Cleveland was President,
Arthur P. Gorman was the Democratic
iloor leader, and chairman of the
finance committee. But at heart Gor
man's tariff views were .as different
from those of his President, as are the
real views of Senator Simmons from
the views of President Wilson. But it
is a long jump from Gorman to Sim
mons, and this in part explains the
success that has attended President
Wilson's efforts. It is not that WHson
Is so much stronger than Cleveland,
but that Simmons Is so much weaker
than Gorman.
Slmmona' Place Anomalous.
If any one in Washington had pre
dicted ten, or even six years ago that
Senator Simmons, of North Carolina,
would ever be chairman of the finance
committee, and would have charge of
a tariff bill, he would have been howled
down. Nothing wuld have seemed
more absurd. But of late years many
changes have taken place In the Senate,
and it is a notorious fact that the body
has not been improved by the altera
tion. .
In place of big. strong and powerful
mn, who knew their own minds and
spoke them, llave come weaklings,
afraid to act as they think best; afraid
to differ from the Administration, and
even willing to vote contrary to the
best Interests of their own states, at
the behest of the President.
Nobody longer doubts that the Senate
will accept the free wool and free
sugar provisions of the Underwood bill.
Nobody believes that a single Demo
crat, other than Ransdell and Thorn
ton of Louisiana, will break with the
party, and support Republican amend
ments to the bill, restoring a duty to
wool and sugar, and it is equally cer
tain that no Democrat will propose an
amendment placing a duty on wool,
though Rans-dell or Thornton are likely
to offer amendments placing a perma
nent duty on sugar. The President has
the Democratic element of the Senate
completely cowed, and he knows it.
Shafroth IVot Denied. '
Yet. during the caucus. Senator
Shafroth, of Colorado, who had an
amendment placing a duty of half a
cent a pound on sugar, said that three-
fourths of the Democrats present were
at heart in favor of his amendment, and
his statement went unchallenged. It
was equally true that a majority of
the Democrats of the Senate would
have preferred a IS per cent duty on
raw wool, and could have placed it
there, had they had the nerve to vote as
they believed. But the President had
declared for free wool, and all but six
Dmocrats walked up and voted for free
wool, thus settling that question.
These Senators, though they made
capital of the subserviency of Repub
licans to what they were pleased to
call "boss rule," or "Cannon rule" in
the House, and "Aldrich rule" In the
Senate, are themselves more subserv
ient to domination than the Republi
cans ever were.
That the Democratic caucus of the
Senate could have compromised dif
ferences on the sugar and wool tariff,
and made the party a harmonious
whole, so fax as those schedules are
concerned, is not questioned.
As a result, Senators Shafroth and
Thomas, of Colorado, are as good as de
feated when they come up for re-election,
and they admit It; Senator Cham
berlain, who has made every effort to
straddle the wool question, and who is
now prepared to take his medicine, re
alizes that he is serving his last term
because of his lack of nerve to stand
up and oppose the President on the
wool question; Senator Walsh, of Mon
tana, though he has five years more
to serve, knows that he Is treading on
daugerous ground, for he has an
nounced, that he will support the bill,
having been outvoted In caucus, and
even Senator Newlands. of Nevada, who
has been supposed to be unbeatable in
his own state, is fearful that his Sena
torial career is drawing to an end.
