THE SUXDAY 'OREGONIAX.' PORTLAND, APRIL 11, 1925. PORTLAND PUBLIC LIBRARY MUCH USED BY SCHOOL CHILDREN Highly Organized Book Depository Vital Part of. City's Educational System Lisping Litterateurs Afford Amusing Incidents When They Call 12 BT J WILLJS JEFFRIES. Portland School News Bureau. PORTLAND'S most important edu cational organ is the Public Li brary. It is the city's priceless treasury of thought, being the deposi tory, conservatory and distributer of good books, which Milton has nobly apostrophized as "the precious life blood of master spirits, embalmed and treasured to a life beyond life." It is also the live, robust, pulsating heart of our educational system, and Its main arteries are the public schools. Strictly speaking, school texts can scarcely be regarded as books. Few great men have ever condescended to write one. They are bought and studied only under compulsion. But the money realized from the Public Li brary tax. amounting during the past year to more than $150,000, is being expended for the purchase, care and distribution of books, now totaling 200,000. That is why the Public Li brary is the most important educa tional organ in Portland. It follows that whatever of literary culture the 1031 teachers and 32,388 pupils of Portland are to receive must come almost exclusively from the Pub lic Library. Upon the .intimacy and thoroughness of the contact between these great institutions, the library and the schools, depend almost wholly the quality and degree of cultural educa tion which instructors, and the young people in their keeping, are likely to receive. Library in Reality SrkooL The brightest students are begin ning to realize that they can learn more in libraries than in classrooms. no matter how efficient their teachers may be. In short, they prefer to con suit the same original sources upon which their instructors depend at the Central Library or at the neighbor' Hood or school branches, which are crowded daily with pupils eager for the enlightenment that only real books can give. The Public Library has become an Integral part of our educational sys tern. Teachers as school librarians will increase as textbooks and pedagogues decrease: forit is slowly dawning upon the minds of the rising generation that a book is of greater educational value than a textbook, because it not only furnishes mental gymnastics, but an occasional thought or two. The collection of volumes Available for the use of school children now totals 50,000. In the main building, at Tenth and Taylor streets, are located the teachers', the intermediate and the children's libraries. From these, as centers, books are sent to the branches at the Washington. Jefferson, Lincoln and Franklin high schools, and through 753 distributing points are available to every classroom in Multnomah County. ViiMr Graduate la Charse. Upon the shelves of the teachers' 11 brary in the main building may be found about 1200 volumes specimen copies of books prescribed in the grades for home reading, for the in epection of teachers and parents. works on teachincr. all the important pedagogical magazines and thousands of pictures, used mostly in English and history classes. It is the aim of Miss Harriet A. Wood, a graduate of Vassar College, who has general su pervision over the educational, or school, department, to reach the young people through the teachers. Super intendent Alderman and Assistant Su perintendents Grout and Rice are cor dially co-operating with Miss Wood to bring into the lives of the young the uplifting influence of good books. The intermediate library for high school students, which has been estab lished most recently, is in the corner of the main reading-room, serving as a link between the simpler books of the children's department and the deeper works for adults. It contains about 1000 volumes and is in charge of Miss Jeanette Kennedy, a graduate of the University of Chicago. The children's department, on the first floor of the main building, con tains IS. 934 volumes, many of them choice illustrated editions of nursery classics. Parents who desire to pur chase gift books for their little ones can find no better adviser than Miss Jessie Hodge Millard, the children's 11 brarian, who gladly shows visitors the many beautiful books and pictures, which surely and swiftly win the heurts of the young people. Any child who is able to write or print his name is entitled to take out a card and draw books. The total circulation in this department alcme amounted last year to 98,000 volumes. Lisping: Litterateur Come. Miss Millard delights to tell of her experiences with the youthful littera teurs, who make all kinds of funny re quests. One recently lisped her desire to "borrow the loan of a copy of Mrs. Swiggs of the Rubbage Patch." A sec ond, who came in duest of Grecian Myths and Legends, asked with child ish prattle for "greasy mits and leg gins." A third inquired meekly for "the life of Napoleon Bones-apart." An exhibit of butterflies recently In terested the little tots. All kinds of pretty shells and textiles are shown. Tolls dressed in costumes worn by peo ple of different nations also help to make the children's department a de cidedly happy and popular place for young people. Story telling Is a principal attraction. Every Friday eager groups of children sit breathlessly in the room especially equipped for the purpose and listen to wonderful stories told by the librar ians, the little ones coming st 3:13 and the older ones at 4:15. During the past year, at the library. In the schools, on the playgrounds and during spe cial hours, over 40.000 children listened to stories told by the librarians of the children's department. An object sought in story telling iB to Introduce the young folk's to the best literature from which the stories are taken. Teachers' C4peratlua Desired. Miss Wood expressed her gratitude for what the teachers are doing, but, undoubtedly, tie librarians need more co-ooeration. Accordingly, a plan is being discussed whereby high school librarians shall assist students who are pursuing the pedagogical course to prepare "book talks, which tney can deliver while doing practice teaching in the grade schools. Recently stu dents from the Boys' School of Trades wore sent throughout the city to tell of the advantages offered in Portland for those desiring vocational training. High school pupils, with equal effect iveness, could tell their younger brothers and sisters of the advantages offered to school children by the Li brary Association. In order that students may learn to discriminate between good literature and that which Is inferior or demoral izing, and that they may know how to take the proper care of books, special instruction is given by trained librari ans, who have made during the past vear 635 visits to the schools, teaching i?3 classes, with an aggregate attend ance of 27.SS9 pupils. This important work is in charge of Miss Harriet A. "Wood, school librarian: Miss Philura K. Murch. Miss Nettie Drew. Miss Con stance R. S. Fwlng. Miss Jessie Hodge Millard and the high school librarians. Miss Gladys Smith. Miss Grace J. Mc intosh. Miss Alma Jor.son and Miss Vary Betz; also the branch librarians, who" cover their respective districts. That pupils may know how properly to apply what they have thus learned. Instrm-tlon is als given in the differ ent branches and in the main library, where classes are shown the use of the catalogue, the relative importance and function of refeivuce books and ln- formed of their library privileges. That the little tots may not soil books, each is required to memorize the following verse: a THE LIBRARY GOOPS. The Goopa they wet their fingers To turn the leaves of books.

Home aad Gardea Credits Develop Keea CompetltioB Some Make Hugtar Baskets; Others Candle Eggs, and One Lad Invents Trap Aest. PROFESSOR W. A. DICKSON and Mrs. M. B. Hogue are carrying out the garden work in connection with the nature study course at the Woodmere School. Bulletins from the Oregon Agriculture College were secured and these were thoroughly studied long be fore Spring opened, so that when the time to begin making gardens finally arrived they knew just what to do. The tract was first plowed, then care fully spaded by the boys. While the ground was being prepared the chil dren watched closely for every Dug or worm that might be studied in nature class. The soil was studied and they learned how to fertilize and what kind of fer tilizer to use and when to use it The classes have but one period a week in nature etudy, but when class period arrives Mrs. Hogue takes them directly to the gardens. To say that they are delighted is putting it mildly. A tract 100x100 is neatly arranged in beds. Half of this is planted with such things as may be used by the girls in the domestic science department, while the other half is turned over to the boys and girls for individual gar dens. They are allowed to plant what they choose and that choice is usually wise, for, after studying the bulletins, they know what is best to plant. They are planning to realize two crops from each garden. For instance, where they have radishes now, potatoes will be planted later on. In this way they mean to make every foot of ground count. They may sell their vegetables or use them just as they like. But one thing was definitely understood before they were given a tract. That was, unless they were sure that they could and would weed and cultivate it when necessary, they could not have a school garden. This one rule has had the effect of making them "toe the mark," for they realize that if a gar den shows neglect it will be given to some one who will care for it, and at noon, recess and at night many of them are to be found hard at work tilling the soil and acquiring a healthy coat of tan. The gardens have proved so popular that there were not enough for all, so a new tract has been secured. It is the same size as the old one and is being prepared for individual gar dens. The children are so interested that they take little time for play. They read everything they find on the sub ject and discuss it among themselves and with their teachers. The plots are only for those who have no home gardens. A great many have home gardens and are carefully putting in practice the instructions re ceived at school and a report of this work is made to Mrs. Hogue. No little competition for both home ana gar den credits is being carried on and the result has been to raise the standards of the pupils in every way. The nature class nas also carea xor several pots of geraniums all Winter. They have bloomed profusely and have been a blaze of cherry color brighten- ng the schoolroom through the dull Winter months. The bora in the mutual training snop learned to make hanging baskets by using a Diece of square board for the bottom and building up the sides with hazel rods. Eighteen baskets were made, lined with moss from the woods and filled with rich loam. These were planted with slips from the geraniums and nasturtims. lobelia and wanaer- insr lew. which they Drought irom home. The baskets have not cost them a penny and. are a daily reminder that there are many Dcauiuui umisa uiuuuu them if they only know where to look and how to utilize what they find.

X honor of Jefferson's birthday Mr. Lee. a man familiar with the Indians of Oregon, addressed the school on April 2. The subject of Jefferson has become so well known to everyone that ho Hiirroruorl to one in which the stu dents would be equally interested, that of Indian customs. A most entertain ing discussion was given, varied oc casionally by recitals of Indian hymns and imitation ot tneir nances. The June class selected as their class colors shell pink and Delphinium blue. At the last meeting committees were appointed to attend to the Invitations to the graduating exercises and to plant flowers In front of the building. A. matinee dance is to be given shortly after vacation. The members in charge of it are Margaret Scott, Hobart Lamon Caroline Alexander. Helen Bracht and Clarence Jackson.

An original plan will be worked out this year and the children are greatly lnterestea. to sweep, dust and arrange the furni ture of a room, and they can correctly make up the doll beds which are fur nished for their play. They have learned to sew. Many loving stitches do they place on petticoats-and gowns for their beloved dolls, and much painstaking work do they put on doylies for their mothers. They have already made the samplers which they will later be expected to make In school. Lately they have been working with raffia and have learned to make gaily-colored baskets and mats. The younger girls like to cut pictures and paste them in scrapbooks, to be given to the children in tne waras or tne va rious hospitals. These 'B'luebirds" enjoy their cook. Ing lessons, which are given under the supervision ' of a domestic science teacher. They can cook potatoes, eggs, apples and tapioca, and even make tempting little biscuits. These they proudly share with their teachers and visitors. In the latter part of the afternoon they put away their handiwork ana play games or dance the simpler folk dances. Just before leaving they sing their "Good-by" song. After dismissal one of the children must write an account of all that has been accomplished during the after noon. The accounts are interesting. in spite of many mistakes in spelling and grammar, and furnish a complete record of the year s work, it is con sidered a privilege to "write in the book.'.' as thev call it. Although the "Bluebirds" love their work, they like to play, too. Dolls are a erreat source of pleasure, and the elrls often bring them to class. In some cases baby sisters take the place of dolls and furnish a great deal of amusement and enjoyment for the older girls. "Bluebirds'" like to listen to stories, and are eager to act out the fairv tales which are read to them. They enter with great spirit into the dramatization of "Bluebeard" or "Red Rirlinar Hood." The children have taken several sight-seelne trips about Portland. They have visited the Art Museum, the Library, and were fascinated by ths stuffed animals in City Hall, although thpv were afraid of them at first.- rnej intend to take more of these trips when Spring comes and the rain stops. The motto of "Bluebirds" is, "Sing, HcId and Grow." These "Bluebirds'' sine all the time, grow all the time. and helo whenever they can. The ef fort spent working Is not wasted.

Of the ten candidates nominated, the following were chosen: Don Keys, Marian Bennett, Roberta Downing, Barbara Nisley and Ben Titus. This commitee will select the police com mittee of BO. Don Keys is the student whose plan was adopted, and as he re ceived the highest number of votes in the election, he will probably be chosen chairman of the trial committee. Several matches have been played In the tennis tournament at Washington, although the poor weather has caused frequent postponements. In the girls' tournament, in which there arc 3 en tries, Miss Mabel Ryder, who has re entered school, won by default from Ruth Williams, and Bertha Aylsworth defaulted to Doris Hawkins.
