THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, AUGUST 2. 1914. 8 SCIENCE OF PLAY WITHSTANDS TEST Theories of Recreation Ex perts Applied at Univer sity Summer School. schools out of 70 made over 95 per cent. The schools now are busy with in dustrial fair work. With the organi zation of many clubs early in the year the pupils began raising corn, potatoes, feeding pigs, raising chickens, sewing, cooking, canning and making many birdhouses. Club meetings are held once or twice a month. The children's in dustrial fair at Dallas In September is expected to be the most successful Polk County has ever held. ALL TYPES ARE IN CLASS Psychological Results, Director As serts, Are of Importance and Amount of Apparatus Is Secondary Factor. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene Aug. I. (Special.) Practical appllca tion of psychological theories has been attempted here this .Summer under conditions that have been in many ways unique, the result has been a con clusive argument in favor of the or sranization of recreation and amuse men ts. L. H. Weir, of the National Play ground Association, has been the Svengali of the occasion, and he has proved the applicability of the prln ciples of his brand-new science to one of the most recalcitrant aggregations of humanity In existence a typical University Summer school. A Summer school is made up usually of about the mo.-t individualistic individuals in the community. There Is no "crowd spirit. The students are. In general, mature. and each comes with a definite object to pursue and proceeds to pursue it Task and Results outlined. Such was the raw material which the rlavitrounJ exDert undertook to in spire with the boyhood spirit of play and such were the undirectible elements which he undertook to direct. If he could keep these people Interested in a dally play hour, it would be a dem onstration of the soundness of the prln ciples underlying "playground work" and their applicability to almost any community. Seventy persons participated in the play hours of the first week of the Summer school. These have been held daily for five weeks, and the average attendance is nearly 100. with every in dication that this could be kept up in definitely. Success Depends on Way. "The apparatus used is of no Im portance," says Mr. Weir. "The suc cess depends upon the way it is done." The "way" is to have someone at hand who understands the psychology of amusement and who seriously and In conspicuously devotes his mind to keeping things moving. There are definite principles behind this, he as serts, which have been worked out well and can be studied successfully by any one who has good observational pow ers and some native tact. In this In stance Mr. Weir himself has been the doctor, with the advice and assistance of Dr. Bertha Stuart. "Passive Ideas of amusement" are the great enemy which the playground experts are seeking to overthrow. Their psychology tells them that there is little health or mental refreshment In merely watching others play com pared with that which falls to the lot of the active participant. . , , . , . . . . r.isr.L nours sleep, unu. illuming ,j u L Sundays, perhaps a little more tnan eight hours' work, are too often con sidered to constitute all that Is really Important in life," said Mr. Weir. "The other eight hours, it has been too easily assumed, will take care of themselves At least one hour out of these eight ought to be made a source of renewed physical energy and profitable and en joyable intellectual refreshment." Community Mnale Used. Community music, again not passive listening, but congregational singing. was a final stage reached near the end of the six weeks' experiment. A bonfire among the beautiful trees of the university campus served as a focus for the community spirit while NEW SCHOOLS ARE BUILT I.evis County Terms Will Com mence August : l . CHEHALIS. Wash., Aug. 1. (Spe cial.) Lewis County schools, espe cially those in the rural districts, will open August 31. Some of the high 23 ARE SEEKING SEATS IN CONGRESS r JANITOR'S WALK IN LAWN MOWING 5434 Mil, US. : Daily Additions Being Made to Crop of Candidates in State of Washington. FIGHT IS THREE CORNERED M. i:. Bilyeu. ALBANY, Or., July 26. (Spe cial.) In mowing the lawn which surrounds the Linn Coun ty Courthouse, in this city, M. E. Bilyeu, janitor of the Court house, has walked more than 5000 miles, according to figures compiled by County Surveyor Geddes. To mow the lawn once requires a trip of 11 miles. The lawn Is kept mowed Winter and Summer, and while it is mowed less frequently in Winter, It is gone over on an average of once a week all year. This requires traveling 572 miles a year in mowing the lawn, and as Bilyeu has been janitor for nine years and a half the aggregate is placed at 5434 miles. the. old songs were sung by all. Mr. Weir this year is a member of the University Summer school faculty. He is giving a course In the art and science of directing the spare time of young people. "The apparatus used this year has cost only about $20," he said. This means that community play can be organized in any community, pro vided only that some one person will master the psychology of the thing and study the different uses of the different games." A couple of basket balls, an "indoor" baseball, a few nets, a bat. a target for archery, a tennis ball, some old horseshoes for quoits and some bows and arrows were all that were re quired. Other selections would have done Just as well, but these things hap pened to be handy. POLK SCHOOLS ACTIVE home: credit plan followed WITH cool) RESULT. ElKkta-Urade Pupils Perfect in Spell ing Practical Milk and Cream Testing Beneficial. MONMOUTH, Or.. Aug. 1. (Special.) The study of dairying and practical milk and cream testing has been Inaugurated In several Polk County schools by W. A. Barr, of the Oregon Agricultural College, and H. C. Seymour, County Superintendent of schools. The work is said to have led to the dis carding of many poor-paying cows and has served to show the county's great dairy wealth. The home credit system was inaug urated In a few of the rural schools at the beginning of the term of 1909-10. Under the plan, the pupils are allowed credit at school for doing chores, house, work, milking cows, taking proper care ' of the body, sleeping with windows open, walking a long distance to school, etc. Where the system has been In operation the attendance per centage for the year shows great im provement. The Buena Vista school, under the direction of R. O. Dykstra, and North Dallas school under Veva Burns, are following the home credit plan. The system, originally planned by L R. Alderman, was adopted first by the Spring Valley school In Polk County. Competition among the 70 schools of the county In the spelling contest has lifted the standard of spelling to such a degree no pupils failed in spelling in the eighth-grade examinations. The winners of the spelling contest are: Class A, Oak Point; class B, Buena Vista: class C, monmouth. Polk County is said to have more Parent-Teacher Associations than any county in the state, except Multnomah.

Second Choice Votes Kxpected to Play Big Part in Senatorial Pri maries and to Disadvantage of George Turner. OLYMP1A, Wash., Aug. 1. (Special.) Nine declarations of candidacy for seats in Congress filed this week brought the total of aspirants In the five districts of the State of Wash ington up to 2S, with many more an nounced candidates yet to get their money up with the Searetary of State. The filing of Representative Albert Johnson, of Hoquiam, brought out all the Congressional delegation as can didates, either to succeed themselves or for other honors. Representative J. A. Falconer is a candidate for the Sen ate on the Bull Moose ticket and J. vv. Brvan. the other Representative-at- Large. is running in the First or Seat tle district for the Progressive nom ination for the seat now held by Rep resentative William E. Humphrey, Re publican. There are ten Republicans in the list, eight Democrats'and five Progres sives. The Fifth district, comprising Spo kane and the northeast, has the most bountiful suddIv of candidates, there heiiW seven out in that district, includ ing two Republicans, two Progressives and three Democrats. The Democratic n., nrtw fnntnlns the names of C. C. Dill. P. C. Shine and W. W. Tolman. Thomas Corkery and Harve Phlpps are the Progressives and A. J. Wilson and C. E. Myers the Republicans. Gap In Fourth District. The district is in a section of the state normally strongly Republican, though the Bull Moose vote for many offices in 1912 was heavy. It Is part of the old Third district,' which re elected Representative William L. La follette. Republican. In 1912, princi pally by virtue of a heavy vote for him in the southeast, which now is in the Fourth district, where Lafollette is running for re-election. Lafollette has opposition for the Re publican nomination from Edward Parker, of North Yakima, a section which was long represented in the House of Representatives by Senator Wesley L. Jones. Two Democrats of Wall Walla, Roscoe Drumheller and Professor W. D. Lyman, of Whitman, are contesting for the Bourbon nom ination. Next to the Fifth district, the Seat tle district produces the most candi dates, there being now five in all. Two other Republicans, Frank Hammond and H. E. Foster, of Seattle, are con testing in this district with Represen tative Humphrey for the nomination, while John B. Shorett is the sole Dem ocrat and Representative J. W. Bryan the only Progressive. Three Out for Falconer's Place. The Second district Is evenly bal anced, with one candidate so far from each of the three parties. This part of the state, the northwest, Is represented in Congress at present by J. A. Fal coner, now a candidate for the Senate The lack of a Progressive candidate in the Third district, the southwest was remedied this week by the ap Dearance of B. L. Hubbell. of Kelso William E. Cass, of Vancouver, seeks the Democratic nomination and Robert A. Wiley, of Montesano. disputes witn Renresentatlve Albert Johnson tin Grays Harbor Republican vote. Though State Chairman Hugh Todd of Seattle, and Judge W. W. Black, of Everett, are avowed candidates for the Senate, they have not yet placed their names on the records of the Sec retary of State, though both have is sued campaign literature. It is the general opinion that second-choice votes will count heavily In the Democratic Senatorial primaries because of the fact that four candi dates are out. This, it is said, will re dound to the advantage of Todd and Black in the sharply-defined contest between George Cotterill, ex-Mayor of Seattle, representing the so-called progressive wing of the party, and George Turner, of Spokane, represent ing the "stand-pat" element. 6S 9 Shop by Phone Chooss from this adv. or ask us for the dealreu article.
