JAMES JOHN HIGH SCHOOL Is the fifth and latest school to become a member or the Portland high school system. The total enrollment is 142 students, 77 of whom are freshmen. Mr. I'letcher. formerly of the Couch School, Is principal. While not having so many school or ganizations as larger numbers allow, the students are determined to push with vigor the activities already in force. In addition to the opportunities offered by class organizations, pleasure Is derived from and opportunities for talent and ability encouraged In the following clubs and societies: dramatic society, athletic association, Hlak K la ta wa. orchestra and glee club. The dramatic society, though one of the youngest societies, has the largest membership. It is virtually the student body, and in lieu of that, directs and has control of various student affairs. The slogan which has grown with the society is "You can't enjoy yourself unless you belong to the dramatic so ciety." Every year several plays are Xlven. which are well attended by friends of the high school. Funds which defray senior expenses are real ized by these plays. Last year the ath letic association was also put on a sound financial basis by the dramatic society. The dramatic club elects a president and a board of directors are elected every term, and the board elects from Its own number the remaining officers vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and the chairmen of the three standing committees. Two faculty members are appointed by the principal to assist as advisory members. The following are the present officers and committees: Iirott Larsen. president; Ruth Mc Gregor, vice-president: Minnie Nolen. secretary; Clifton Crouch, treasurer; Jennie McNiven, chairman membership committee; Francis Miller, entertain ment and social committee, and Miss Clinton, chairman programme commit tee. Mr. Curtis, who is the other fac ulty member, will be of - invaluable as sistance in urair tic and glee club work. ' The athletic association is the oldest of all the school organizations and has almost as largo a membership as the dramatic society. This is due to the fact that the girls are loyal and enthu siastic members. The working plan of th athletic association is modeled after that of similar associations In the larg er schools. The offtcers who govern this body are: Wesley Wrinkle, presi dent: l.ouis Dunsmore vice-president; Tluth McGregor, secretary and Curtis Phillips, treasurer. A manager for each branch of sports is elected by the members. The Hiak K lata wa is a girls' hiking club. The Klatawas do not confine their hikes to the paved avenues, but go on camping trips over the moun tains. Last year the club hiked to For fst Grove, their trail lying over the difficult hills on the west side of the river. A swimming party and a tramp in the hills constituted last week's di versions. The following are the officers of this club: Ruth McGregor, president; Olive Zimmerman, vice-president; Opal Weimer, secretary-treasurer, and Susie Lindley, sergeant-at-arms. The orchestra Is in the second year of its existence. Mr. Krits is director. Asido from benefits to the individual members, the orchestra gives aid in verlous echool programmes. The dramatic society, in connection rlth the upper classmen, entertained the freshmen with a country-costume party. The "Wood Schule Graduation Exercises" was acted with creditable success. The main feature which made it successful was the Impromptu repar tee between the "schoolma'am" and her charges. The refreshment committee served ice cream, cake, punch and Baited peanuts in the gym, which was appro priately decorated. Irvington School Notes. The eighth-grade pupils of the Irv ington School made their first school excursion of the term last Wednesday, when they visited the American can factory at Fourteenth and Front streets. These school excursions, systematic ally planned and arranged by Prin cipal Elmer Brown, were introduced into the Irvington School two years ago and have proved to be a- success ful feature of the school work. They are looked upon by the pupils as a part of the regular work and not as a holi day outing, and yet, they furnish suf ficient deviation to make the regular excursion day welcome. The object of this observational study is to open the eyes of the pupil to the physical and industrial world in close proximity to him, and to find in these instructive things the simple and fun damental problems of life. The excursion gives the pupil the vantage point of personal observation of the working methods of modern busTness, and it is an incentive to in vestigation and stimulates pupils to read. It is practical rather .than theo retical. The work in the Irvington School is so arranged that those who wish to pursue this special line of study may have the opportunity to do so, and those not caring for the trip may re main in the building and continue the regular work. During the last two years the classes have visited 3 different industries. Benson Tech Fame Spreads to Far-Away Cities. BY RAYMOND HILL. NIGHT SCHOOL opened last Monday night with the largest enrollment in its history. The total number of students the first night was 225. with a steady Increase in registration all week. The number of the night stu dents Is practically as large as the day school students. For the young man who is interested in electricity, here is an outline of the shop course taught in night school: Practicable annllratlnn ne . . i circuit, theory of motors and dynamos. . t . niiiuiug, Buop worK or all descriptions, repairing and rebuilding motors and dynamos of all weaea, switchboard construction, both slifVple and complicated, practicable appllcaion of all measuring- f nntvum An te V. ... alternating currents, power factor. curves, etc.; Switchboard operating, consisting of parallel operation of al ternates, direct-current generators, and. in fact nil nhnana a 1 . ; , ' - vt. cvii;iu operating. For the machinist who wishes to advance his knowledge of mechanics it would be advisable for him to attend the night classes in the mechanical de partment. In the night classes of the wood working department there are taught all forms of cabinet making, car pentry and pattern making. In the plumbing department there are taught all forms of sanitary en gineering, and. as a special feature for telephone lineman there will be offered a thorough course in Joint wiping, etc Just to give an Illustration of how this school is growing and the way its fame is spreading across the continent, Mr. Cleveland, principal of the school, received a letter from a younr man in Detroit. Mich., who stated that after hearing so much praise and pub licity made on the work the machine shop, electrical department, pattern making, and. in fact, all the depart ments In the school have been doing, he decided to write and ask if we taught a correspondence course in trade English. He said he was a machinist and wished to fit himself for a higher position in the technical field, but did not have enough English: that is, his vocabulary of technical terms was not sufficient to do so. In his letter he said that a group of 18 men had formed a club with the soul purpose of studying trade English and technical possibilities, and that if we r. r WmSM 1 MBITIOUS that. their homes shall be kent neat and attractive. rhiMrn wp dressed and family well nourished, thousands of in our homes are sacrificing their health to duty, COok.

Well, we teach trade English, but we do not have a correspondence course, so we cannot oblige the young man. But neverthe less the object we have in telling- this Is to give an Idea of how the school is growing and gaining: publicity. The first basketball meeting of the season was held last Monday. The ob ject of the meeting- was to discuss plans for the coming season and to give out suits. etc. Basketball practice will commence immediately. . Student body officers held a, meet ing last Monday.

The design carries well when merely worked lc outUne stitch. AU of the fllo and floss silks are suitable, and there are three shades of blue cotton thread which will withstand many visits to the wash boir as well as to the laundry tub, light, Redloqi an, .dark. Very food Jesuits may be had with either two or three of these shades. They will also work in wU in the long and short stitch, using the darker colorings on the outside, and put ting In the high lights with the fainter tint. The flat Chinese embroideries, where no padding whatsoever la used, and the V.tehes. do- at cyer!p eacit cAer, are also suitable. This kind Is rapidly worked and affords most artlst:e results when carefully done. The eifect of each stitch must be calculated before It Is put in; but the work Is well worth the troub:e. Ono clever way of employing the bias bird motif Is to work the design solid, with well padded feathers, making the tltc&eg Indicate the trend of the feather. Then, with sharp scissors cut the bird n tire from the cloth, pad the bodypart un derneath with padding, and mount It a a decoration. Even the milliners are using the blue bird decoration, working it flat upon arga felt or velvet sal'ror shapes.
