WHEN" the Federal building which
stands la the center of the block
bounded by Morrison, Yamhill.
Fifth and Sixth streets was first
finished it stood head and shoulders
above all that it surveyed. Now, 40
years later, it squats at the feet of
skyscrapers.
When the structure was built tn 1875
business people were considerably
aroused because it was placed eo far
from the center of town. One man Is
quoted In the paper of that time as
saying. "I toii't understand why the
postal authorities selected a site out lit
the edge of Washington County." An
other business man suggested that "It
would be a good plan for the business
men of the city to get permission to
establish a pony express from the busi
ness part ct the city to the Postoffice."
The accompanying photograph taken
from the corner of Fifth and Yamhill
streets in 1S7S by Joseph Buchtel and
owned now by the Oregon Historical
Society shows the Postoffice build
ing ami its surroundings in its "child
hood." Then the structure looked
down on the roofs of its neighbors.

Marked progress has been made in

advanced step would bo the cstablixn

special care is neeaeu parents mmuiu
be informed. Through such examina
tions, with proper training and en

children may be restored to normal
instead of drifting from merely back
wardness to permanent defectiveness.
.Such a clinic would also cnablo the
school authorities to hnndle more In

wayward.
Preventive Work I rged.
The state Is spending approximately
$200,000 annually for the maintenance
of institutions for wayward boys and
girls, and comparatively nothing for
preventive work. Qualified men and
women are needed to serve as proba
tion officers. These officers should
supervise each child and keep In close
touch with the homes, rendering such
assistance as is necessary. Personal
attention, in each case and effective
handling should prevent repetition of
offenses unless the offender be of the
feeble-minded type. Those of this type

by reducing tho number 01 counnn

brings about oven greater savings or
overcoming evil tendencies In then- .

that should a probation officer, lecrlr

saving would equal his salaiy.
The following extract from a report
