MISS HENRIETTA B. HOJfEY. WHO
BT EDITH KNIGHT HOT.MES.
Forward: For ui shall be no beaten track;
No mom continuing; no -turning back.
The past we love not for its being past.
But for its hope and ardor forward cast.
SO SAYS one of the characters in
"The Girls of Yesterday and To
day," the beautiful pageant that
will be produced in the Little Theater,
and "Forward" has ever been the
watchword of the Young Women's
Christian Association, the organization
'under whose auspices this pageant will
be given.
The time set is Washington's birth
day. There will be two performances,
afternoon and night. Mrs. William
Bushnell Osborn, Jr., is prganizer of
the cast, and Miss Frank Towslee has
directed. The costumes have ben
planned with the assistance of Miss
Clara Donaldson, of the department of
domestic art. Y. W. C. A.
Quaint indeed will be some of the
gowns worn. Miss Henrietta Honey,
for instance, who will be the girl of
1866, will appear in a gown that was
worn at oius of the first brilliant so
cial functions ever- held in Portland.
Mrs. W. D. Whitcomb will be "the
irl of 1916."
Between . the two girls will be a
whole procession of maids represent
ing every decade. There will be the
workers, the students, and all types' to
whom the association appeals. It was
founded to meet a great need, to an
swer the problems of new and strange
conditions that were found after the.
Civil War.
The pageant will open with a pro
logue which will disclose Mistress 1866
soliloquizing. As she speaks there will
cross the sage women of various types
who would be benefited by having a
young women's association of some
sort. But how should that association
be formed?
Scene I shows the first meeting in
the New England home. A few women
talk over the problems and found the
organization that now is celebrating
its 50th anniversary. Girls of all types
again are seen and their costumes befit
the day they represent.
From '86 to "96 there are the college
girls, the business girls and all who in
many and various ways ar benefited
by the Young Women's Christian Asso
ciation. The 44 lands in which there
are associations will be represented by
girls in appropriate costumes.
Pantomime and tableaux are used in
the scenes and only the two. Miss
Honey and Mrs. Whitcomb, will have
speaking parts. Campfire girls and the
girls wh,o served as cashiers in the
Panama-Pacific Exposition will be
among the most modern ht the girls of
today. Appropriate music will be given
by the orchestra. The old-fashioned
ballads of '66 will open the programme.
Mrs. Pauline Miller Chapman will sing
the solos.
Club women, society women, mem
bers of the association and social
workers will be interested in this
vent.

N
EXT Friday will be an important
day in the Portland Woman's

the vote for her will bev large. Some
of the other officers may have several
aspirants, but, -as Mrs. G. J. Frankel
has during her presidency created an
atmosphere of harmony, there will not
be any great conflict, unless the un
expected happens. - ,

Parent-Teacher Circle Is . in
Favor of Spanking.
Ample Portion of Discipline for
Stephens School Pupils Indicated
at Recent Meeting.
THE Stephens Parent-Teacher Cir
cle, which met Thursday afternoon,
was unusually well attended in spite
of the burning of the Inman-Poulsen
mill, which occurred at the same hour
and which caused a number of moth
ers already present to leave as soon as
they heard of the fire, fearing for
the safety of husbands or sons em
ployed in the mill or danger of their
homes, located near the mill.
A pleasing musical programme was
given, after which Mrs. Meyers gave a
talk on "The Purpose of Parent-Teacher
Organizations." She advocated the
judicious use of spanking, requesting
an expression of the sentiment of the
mothers in regard to their feelings on
the subject.
The general upraising of hands would
indicate that the boys and girls who
attend Stephens School are not neg
lected in the performance of this ef
fective if often pronounced "barbar
ous custom.
A short business meeting followed
the pleasing address. Reports from
the various committees were heard, es
pecial interest being shown in the

ered a letter from Senator Chamberlain
in answer to a telegram sent him last
week, assuring them of his intention to
vote for Louis Brandeis unless the in
vestigation now proceeding should dis
close something seriously affecting his
integrity.
J. H. Stevenson s talk on "The White
Slave Traffic" was interesting. He
expressed himself as believing the
young people shouia do looKea atter
more carefully and more time and
thought given to them, rather than to
those who already have "fallen." He
said woman's proper sphere is in the
home. Young girls who are allowed to
attend skating rinks and dancehalls
unchaperoned "elect themselves as can
didates for shame." Boys should be
kent from improperly conducted pool-
halls, as the associations and influence
are bad. Judge Stevenson Believes
there should be an equal moral stand
ard for men and women; men should
suffer equal condemnatjon with women.
The Women's New Thought Club,
which met on Wednesday, last at Mrs.
H. K. Senour's home, elected Mrs. Flora
Peterson, president; Mrs. .w. feher
man Hoyt, vice-president: Mrs. M. M.

Sllsa Dorcas Murth, of
FIFTY girls took part recently iu
the "Afternoon in Japan" in the
huge ballroom of the Hotel del
Coronado at Coronado Beach, Cal. They
were dressed in Japanese kimonos, and
they and their surroundings breathed
of the very atmosphere of Japan. Thp
tionalities in our schoolrooms, repre
senting all parts of the globe." be
gan Miss Porter, saying that her school
was the "meJting pot." In speaking
of the foreign children, she said the
newsboy element predominates, add
ing that the newsboy is no freak, no
menagerie specimen, but simply a hu
man being.
"These foreign children, continued
Miss Porter, "have an emotional na
ture, are hungry for a taste of love.
rather than a taste for the stomach.
Miss Porter said that she and four
other teachers work together in man
aging the entire foreign element of
the school. The greatest trait, re
quired to manage these foreign chil
dren is tact," said Miss Porter. "The
human element of these children must
be appealed to in order to get best re
sults; that is, learn to know the boy
as he is, know and understand his home
life and you will get the best there
is in him. The real character of the
boy must be understood, then work
with him accordingly: find his good
traits and special talents, then use
tact; be his friend and he will prove
a hard-working, painstaking child in
school."
Miss Porter said the Failing School
has a district of 12 blocks square,
with the school in the center. An
"alarm clock" system is carried on.
for the purpose of punctuality among
the foreign element, because many of
the homes of these children have no
clocks. The system is for two pupils
from each room to go to certain homes
every morning and see that the chil
dren are awake in time. Often the
parents must be awakened. "These
parents must be taught punctuality."
she said, holding that when the parent
once learns American principles, he
is a good follower. Miss Porter said
the morals of these people is good
adding that they respect authority and
some one to look up to.
There is esfkbllshed in the school
an "endless" store." teaching these
children how to buy and sell, weigh
and measure, make out bills, write
letters, figure the 5 and 10 per cent
discount, etc.
The Jewish children were particu
larly mentioned as being very bright
in school and. easily taught to obey.
Miss Porter said that about 80 per cent
of her pupils are Jewish and about 15
per cent are Italian.
