PUPILS 'NAME MAYOR Other City Officials Chosen, Too, at Stephens School. CAMPAIGN IS EXCITING Commission Government Conducted by Students Enforces Discipline. Anton Hit, Executive, and Four Make Up Board. The general election of the Stephens School City Commission Government, after an exciting campaign, resulted in the naming of the following officers, who will take office this Fall: For Mayor, Anton Illk; clerk, Alfhild Dahl; Commissioners, Freeman Thronson. Nell Thronson, Paul Schmidt and Donald Reed. Before the election a strenuous cam paign was carried on both on the plat form and through personal solicita tion. The campaign . speeches were made before the entire school in the assembly hall where all the candidates set forth their reasons for asking elec tion, and the various reforms they pro pose to introduce. The speech of Mayor-elect Illk is thought to have won him the election. . The preferential form of ballot was used and the methods used in the Port land municipal election were closely followed so that the pupils had full information concerning a municipal election. The Stephens city government, under the charge of Principal Steele, has charge of the school discipline. A Chief of Police and Judge and policemen will be appointed later, to enforce the disci pline of the school. All elective and appointive officers will be publically installed at the re opening of the school in the Fall. Principal Steele introduced the stu dent government at the Stephens school in 1911, first with the Council form, but this was changed to the commission form when Portland adopted commission government. He says that the method has worked out well so far. He does not turn over tne school to the school government, but retains a close supervision. The plan Is highly educational and practi cal, says Principal Steele, in many ways, both in teaching civil govern ment methods and teaching self-government and control. Principal Steele will . not be at Stephens school next year, as he has been transferred to the Highland school, but the Stephens school will retain the student government system.

OFFICERS OF STEPHENS SCHOOL JUNIOR COMMISSION GOVERNMENT. f : w i t " ? --n f N w V ' i ' ii" k : I- r Pi i fys 'Mi - i i V :. V "f ' ? f Chamber of Commerce and Patriotic and National Orders of Portland ' Arrange Programme Thou sands of Children to Sing. While there will be many community celebrations of Independence day on July 6, which is the official day this year, since July 4 comes on Sunday, the most important observance will be the "Americanization Day" celebration, which will be held on Multnomah Field, under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce and various patriotic and national organizations of the city. The movement, for this kind of a celebration is nation-wide, and the pur pose in view is outlined effectively by Theodore Roosevelt in an article writ ten for the July Metropolitan, In which he says in part: "The proposal is to make the Fourth of July this year an Americanization day, when racial barriers and prejudices are swept aside, when differences of education, language, ancestry, occupa tion are forgotten, and the American citizen who is born such celebrates the day in honor of the naturalized citi zen primarily with a view to making .him absolutely and without reserva tion an American. The committees that have had this matter in charge have been working through 'The Im migrants in America Review.' "In its poster it sets out that Un cle Sam's problem Is to take the 13 million Immigrants in the United States and offer them real and not nominal citizenship, to teach them to become Americans and nothing else but Americans, and to make them feel at home here In the United States and able to profit In full from the ad vantages our country offers In sum to make them feel that they are self respecting citizens of our Nation, with their interests 'and their affections deeply rooted In our soil. National Consciousness Needed. "To do this It is necessary to give them national consciousness. They must feel that they -are Americans among Americans; that they are part of America and have a share in and a duty toward American Institutions. Portland Is preparing this year to make its participation in this new Na tional movement most noteworthy. Def inite plans for the programme were outlined at a meeting Tuesday at the Chamber of Commerce, and many sub committees are working with enthu siasm to complete the preparations for participation of native-born and nat uralized American citizens in the cere monies. It ia predicted that between 20.000 and 25,000 will throng Multno mah Field at 10 o'clock Monday morn ing, July 5, when the programme is to be given. Flags are to be given to every per son In the crowd, and the pledge of allegiance to the United States will be repeated under most solemn ceremonies. School children, 2000 strong, will sing patriotic songs, and there will be nu merous other impressive musical fea tures in which various National singing societies will participate. F. C. Pozzi, who is in charge of the committee on co-operation of the Port land societies representing various na tionalities, says that all will be rep resented. Dr. F. H. Dammasch is mak ing especial efforts in working up the general musical programme. Patriotic Sermons Arranged. Co-operating with the Chamber of Commerce In preparing for the cele bration are the Grand Army of the Republic and its affiliated bodies, the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution, the various National so cieties, the Boy Scouts and Campfire Girls and the schools of the city. The general committee consists of Robert Krohn, Mark Woodruff, L. R. Alderman, Dr. F. H. Dammasch, Henry Harkvon, F. C. Pozzi, T. B. McDevitt, James McCurren, H. C. Dittrich and A. E. Borthwlck. As a preliminary to the great cele bration the churches of the city are contemplating special patriotic serv ices and sermons on Sunday, July 4, the day preceding. The "Americanization day", pro gramme will be held in the forenoon and the various community celebra tions will be held for the most part in the afternoon. Irvington, as usual, will hold an elaborate celebration with games and contests for men. women and children throughout the afternoon, and an even ing celebration with dancing., Kenilworth Is preparing an old-fashioned Fourth-of-July celebration with everything except the fireworks. Judge Kavanaugh and Senator Lane will be the speakers of the day, and the Span ish War Veterans' drum corps, with a band and several soloists, will fur nish the musical features of the programme.
