tith the acquisition of the Marble
head. a third-class cruiser, to replace
the cruiser Boston as a training; ship
for the Oregon Naval Militia, plans are
being made by Lieutenant-Commander
C. F. Blair, of the Oregon Naval Militia,
to prepare special instruction for the
first and engineering divisions of the
Naval Militia, so that when the Sum
mer comes and the men of the Naval
Militia are called on to man the vessel
almost completely for their annual
cruise, every man will be accustomed
to his particular station.
During past year the cruise has been
taken upon vessels that have been in
full commission and carrying at least
a third of their complement of reg
ulars. As the Marblehead will be used
as the cruising ship, and as she will
be manned by about only 25 regulars,
most of the stations will be filled by
men from the Naval Militia.
Classes to Brglo.
Organization of classes for the pur
pose of making the men proficient in
the ratings they will hold when the
time for the cruise comes will begin
January 13. Examinations will be held
in April, and the results of that ex
amination will decide whether the en
listed men are to retain their ratings
or be advanced to higher ratings.
In the engineering division will be
taught machine-shop practice, equip
ment and use: care of tools and ma
chines; chipping and filing: work on
the lathe: planer and drill press;
emery wheels: drawing and tempering:
construction of simple ship equipment;
mechanical drawinsr. sketching, pro
jections, sections, detail drawings and
tracings.
Jn the electrical department of the
engineering division will deal with
electricity and magnetism aboard
ship, electrical machinery and ap
pliances, ship light and power circuits,
direct and alternating current ma
chinery, switchboards, batteries, elec
trical signal system, operation, repairs,
tests, armatures, wiring and wireless.
Engine-Room la Stady.
Complete details of the fire and en.
rine-room will be studied, including
stowing and trimming boilers, handling
material, coaling ship, cleaning sta
tions, firing, coal analysis, cleaning
boilers, construction of boilers, gauges
and indicators, repairs and breakdowns,
fire-room efficiency, pump construc
tion and operation, condensers, auxil
iary machinery, marking and tracing
piping, valves and oiling.
All these details of every depart
ment of the engineering division will
be covered in the examinations that
are planned for April.
Lieutenant-Commander Bassett, of
the Navy Department, yesterday sent
word that the Marblehead would go to
the Mare Island Navy-yard and be over
hauled before beinic sent to Portland.
Officers of the Oregon Naval Militia
arc looking for a suitable West Side
anchorage for the Marblehead. as the
present location of the Boston is rather
inconvenient.
The first cruise on the Marblehead
probably will be taken by the men of
the Oregon Naval Militia as soon as
they become accustomed to their sta
tions. SLOGAN CONTEST ENDS
IIORE THAN 13.000 COXTRIBITIOSS
SUBMITTED THIS YEAR.
Meeting of Committee to Be Called This
Week, to Devise Way to Judge
lannsually Large List. ,
More than 11.000 slogans have been
submitted in the Rose Festival Slocan
contest which closed last night. This
is twice as many as were sent in last
year.
Yesterday especially was a big day
for slogans and a continual stream of
visitors came into the headquarters of
the Festival to deposit their slogans.
Is this where you leave the winning
slogan?"
Here is a slogan that my wife (a
friend, my little girD, asked me to
leave with you."
These remarks were repeated hun
dreds of times during the day. Nearly
everyone who submitted a slogan
either introduced it as the winner or
tried to deny the authorship by saying
that someone elso bad asked them to
submit it.
Posters, fearfully and wonderfully
wrought, acrostics and freak slogans
of all kinds were among the entries re
ceived while the contest was on. A
few ideas were repeated hundreds of
times In different slogans.
"North. South. Kast. West: Portland
roses are the best." was sent in prob
ably a thousand different contributions.
"Columbia Highway" was another
feature that was rung in with innumer
able changes. There are hundreds of
facetious slogans referring to the fact
that the state is dry.
Tho snow provoked some hundreds
of other cynical slogans, such as:
"See our frozen roses: Holy smoking
Moses"; "The Portland rose is surely
froze." et cetera.
S. C. Bratton. chairman of the pub
licity committee, will call a meeting
early this week and devise a method
if judging the unexpectedly large list
of slogans. The winner will be an
nounced probably before the end of this
week.
PEPPERY BIRD FOOD URGED
Mixture of Meal Is Declared Best
Kind of Nourishment.
Feeding the birds during the cold
weather is proving an enjoyable outlet
for philanthropy of Portland people.
But in what manner best to feed the
birds is a problem. Many give the
birds dry meals of grain and bread,
but some are advocating a bit of
cayenne pepper and a measure of corn
meal well mixed with boiling water
poured over it.
After the meal has been allowed to
swell and is quite cool it may be fed to
the birds. The cayenne papper. wnich
Is regularly fed to canary birds, gives
beat and energy and benefits a bird's
Momach. A number of Portland bird
lovers are feeding this mixture to the
Jiirds with great success. ,

rifles, whose tender years keep them
from becoming enlisted in the ranks
of the regular militia. The junior mi

SEWING TEACHER WRITES
Supervisor Explains System in Re
ply to "Scissors" Editorial.
PORTLAND, Jan. 15. (To the Edi
tor.) An editorial appeared in The
Morning Oregonian, of recent date, en
titled "Scissors," in which the sewing
department of our school was placed
in a rather false light.
There are nine sewing teachers in
the high schools, none of whom are
supervisors, but all teach sewing the
full day. Of tho nine, four have been
dressmakers. These four have been
carefully and wisely selected, having
had years ot practical experience, also
experience in teaching private classes.
Of the others, one has been an honored
teacher in the upper grades of our
schools for years. For this special
work she has taken a course in a pri
vate school and finally took a course
at Columbia University. New York, the
domestic art department of which
ranks first in the United States. An
other, on completing high school work,
devoted two years at college, a year
and a halt at a university, taught
grade work for several years, and then
took a complete" course of sewing in a
private school,, preparatory to teach
ing. A third, graduating from high
school and normal school, and having
taught grade work for several years,
took the complete domestic art course
in a university, where she afterwards
taught the same work, before coming
to Portland. And so on. through the
entire corps, of whom none are inex
perienced or uneducated as has been
implied.
There were eight sewing teachers in
the grades when I was supervisor of
both the grades and the high schools,
all of whom still retain their positions.

presented a saber drill. This last unit,
at last Summer's encampment at Mon
terey, Cal., gained the hearty commen
dation of Army officers from the Tre
sldio at San Francisco.
To demonstrate what skill may be
acquired with the bayonet, a detach
ment from Company B, Third Infantry,
gave a drill with the bayonet.
All the 13 numbers on the programme
were weir executed and those attend
ing the performances went home real
izing the potency of the Oregon Na
tional Guard as a military unit.
Music was furnished by the Third
Infantry band, the Coast Artillery band
and the hand of the Oregon Naval Mi
litia, lately recruited from the ranks
of the Portland Postoffice clerks and
letter carriers. Dancing concluded each
night's entertainment.
They have made special preparation for
this work supplementary to their gen
eral education, which, in all cases, is
equal to that of the average grade
teacher. The grade sewing teacher has
the most difficult position of all. She
has supervision of all the sewing in
several schools. .Because or trie num
ber of schools and the number of
classes in each school, it is impossible
for her to teach more than one or
every three or four lessons given to
each class, the intervening lessons be
ing taught by the regular grade teach
er. The grade sewing teacher not only
prepares and teaches her own lessons,
but outlines the lessons that the regu
lar teachers are to give between her
visits. She is held responsible not only
for her own work, but also that which
is done in her absence. She must be
tactful, as she has so many pupils,
teachers, principals, and parents with
whom to deal. She pays from 3 to J5
of her salary, each month, for carfare
in going from school to school.
The salaries of the sewing teachers
of Portland are less than those paid
for the same work in several other
coast cities. For instance, one teacher
left our schools last year, at a salary
of ?115 a month, for the position in the
same department in a Los Angeles
school, at a monthly salary of $155.
The salary of the sewing supervisor. In
this city, is from MOO to 800 a year
less than that paid in other cities. We
think there is much to be said both for
and against every subject taught in
our schools, but we believe all objec
tions and difficulties are being met as
judiciously as possible by the Board
of Education, teachers and supervis
ors. All new ventures in educational
expansion are widely criticised, often
by, those who understand them the
least, and sewing is one of the least
understood of these.
The above mentioned article. "Scis
sors," spoke of the expense of supplies.
"
"SJUT'E

and especially of the amount spent for
scissors. I introduced the sewing into
the Portland schools, and, until a year
and a half ago. when the grade work
was placed under a separate head. 1
had supervision of both grade and
high school work. No scissors have
ever been furnished to the nign
schools. The last order for scissors
was submitted in August, 1913. and
amounted to $51.80. These scissors
were distributed among the grade
teachers, not grade Bowing teachers,
who taught sewing. A few orders were
given previous to this, but never for
more than six dozen pairs at a time,
nor more than one order a year. 1
think $150 would cover the entire cost
of scissors for the sewing department
since its introduction.
The $2300 and $600 mentioned In the
article as having been paid for scis
sors were not for the sewing depart
ment. Teachers and pupils furnish
their own scissors and all personal
equipment. The pupils furnish their.
own material for the garments. In the
high schools the pupils are assessed
25 cents or 30 cents a term, which is
used to purchase pins, needles, thread,
bias-tape. and. in fact, all the little
necessities which must be kept in sup
ply. The assessment seldom covers the
actual cost of the supplies required,
the teacher making up the balance.
Each high school teacher Is allowed
two fashion books a term. If more are
needed, they are furnished at the
teacher's expense. The following Is a
list of supplies furnished to this de
partment in each high school, and
only the amount needed each year is
ordered. Drafting paper, machine oil.
machine needles, 20 yards of un
bleached muslin, for shrinking cloths,
at 10c a yard; 10 yards of padding for
ironing boards, at 30c a yard; there are
two small laundry bills, annually, of
not more than 50c each.
The pupils who are not In need of
the garments themselves, often make
them for other members of the family,
of if not qble to furnish the material,
make them for some customer, receiv
ing a small compensation for their
work. Many of the girls have paid
partly their way through high school
in this manner, and some are planning
to meet their college expenses likewise.
Our domestic art course not only em
braces the mere knowledge of sewing,
but also textile study. The pupils are
taught to recognize all materials and
to be able to detect adulterations. They
are taught the value of appropriate
adaption of styles and materials for
every occasion; also, to modify styles,
lines, and colors, for individual require
ments. They are given" a much better
understanding of the expenditure of
money and a training especially suit
able for home life.
We have a sewing course of which
we are proud and are willing to com
pare it with any other school in the
United States. Our exhibit has re
turned from the San Francisco Fair
and we hope to. have it arranged for
public inspection soon. It shows the
work in the order it is taught: the
household sewing,- underwear, house
dresses, woolen dresses, afternoon and
evening gowns, graduating frocks, and
tailored suits. Do not fail to see the
display and then ask yourselves these
questions: "Is this work of any value
to our girls? Shall we or shall we not
eliminate sewing from our schools?"
We are willing to leave the decision
to the mothers of Portland, most of
whom are taxpayers and voters.

LEAGUE VIEWS SCHOOLS
MR. ALDERMAN EXPLAINS WORK
INGS OF HIGH-RANKING SYSTEM.
Stereoptlcon ' Lecture Is Accompanied
by Great Volume ot Striking
Information on Classes.
Portland's public schools were viewed
by the Civic League at its luncheom at
the Multnomah Hotel yesterday in a
personally conducted trip via stereop
tlcon slides, under the leadership of
Superintendent L. It. Alderman.
Superintendent Alderman gave a
great volume of striking information
about the enviable position Portland
holds In the ranking of schools in the
United States. "
"What Portland already is doing in
her schools for the unusual or back
ward pupil is held up as the model of
what all the other vchools ot the
United States should do." he said. "Our
report on this phase of the work bo
fore tho National Educational Associa
tion was taken entire and turned back
to the association in the form of a
resolution recommending the course
other schools should take."
The Multnomah County Library,
which works in close co-operation with
the public schools, came in also for
some high praise. Mr. Alderman quoted
Dr. Cubberly. who made the survey of
the Portland schools a few years ago.
as declaring that the library here and
one in Maryland are the two most ef
fective libraries in the United States.
Portland schools hold a high record
for continuous attendance of pupils.
Last year in all the schools, which
are attended by some 30.000 pupils, only
five pupils dropped out permanently.
