17 eral months, the Albany City Council has reported against the advisability of, constructing- a municipal light and Water plant here at this time.

Speaker Reviews Life Work of Noted Viwlto Guest of Honor Says ation Must Develop Hu manistic Elements. They went to praise her; not to hear fcer . the persons who gathered at the Multnomah Hotel last night to honor Mrs. Ella Flagg Young. Educators, artisans, professional folks and Just plain citizens; they came to pay trib ute 'to the dean of all American teachers. They stood up with one thought when the little woman, whose life work has been a fight for the children of the public schools, was presented. They clapped, they cheered, they saluted her with a tossing sea of waving napkins. Hut the crowd was moved to deepest emotions when they heard the powerful eloquence of Bishop "Walter T. Sumner describe the struggles, the principles and the achievements that have made Mrs. Young pre-eminent among pro cressive educators in this country. Victory in Chicago Great. Bishop Sumner told with deep feeling that it had been -his rare privilege, as n. member of the Chicago Board of Kducation, to cast a vote for Mrs. Young for superintendent; they fought a, common fight to wrest the schools rroni the grasp of greedy and selfish politicians. "For eight years." he explained, "I Ferved with her and supported her In lier noble work of building up the Fcliools. In that period I learned, at first hand, of her remarkable knowl edge on all subjects pertaining to edu cation; of her up-standing integrity and lier honesty of purpose. "When she quit office she left the school system of Chicago on a founda tion so firm that It can never again be used to further the sinister pur poses of selfish individuals." Bishop SUmner reviewed, too, the re markable career of Mrs. Young as a &choolteacher: how she began her life service nearly 50 years ago on the prairies of Illinois, in a community then so wild and unprotected that soma of the older hoys among her pupils gallantly volunteered each even ing to escort her safely home.. Diners Show Appreciation. On account of his long, close per sonal association with Mrs. Young, Bishop Sumner w3s chosen by the of - licers of the Civic League, under whose auspices the dinner and reception was given, to present her to the audience, All available space at the tables had been sold long before the appointed hour. Dinner over, scores of Airs. Young's admirers, including many dele gates to the N. B. A. convention. crowded into the room. Bishop Sumner doubtless measured the popular estimation of Mrs. Young when he recalled that at nearly every school election the voters are asked to elect someone representing certain groups or classes of citizens. "Let us hear more," he demanded, 'of somebody being . elected to repre sent the children." That Is what the crowd seemed to think, too, for they cheered loud and long. Mrs Young departed from the pre arranged programme which required her to speak on "The Ideal of Universal Education." and chose to speak on 'The Genius of America." The genius of America, she summar ized, is neither literary nor linguistic; one duty of the teachers of this and luture generations is to educate the young in the beauties of the English language so that they may use it flu ently, lucidly and effectively. Popular Education Urged. "The real genius of the Nation," she concluded, "has been In science and the mechanic arts, with the result that we are a utilitarian people and a ma terialistic Nation. The solution is that those who take up the study of science should learn also something of the humanistic elements. And those who take up humanistic studies should learn something of the technique of science." She appealed, too, for a more gen eral extension of higher education, for "we must reach all minds if America stands for the education of its peo ple." William R. Shinn, president of the Illinois Society of Oregon, welcomed Mrs. Young on behalf of the former residents of her state; J. A. Churchill. State Superintendent of Public In struction, on behalf of the people of Oregon. James B. Kerr, president of the Civic League, presided at the function.

Unshipped rail orders among the West Coast lumber mills were reduced from 13,093 cars to 12,088 cars last week a net gain of 1005 cars. Ttils notable gain does not mean that the rail orders were light in volume, either. They aggregated 1737 cars last week, according to the compilations on the West Coast Lumbermen's Associa tion. However, trie carriers supplied all the cars the mills could load, with the re sult that a total of 2742 cars were shipped. If the mills continue to cut down the unshipped volume of business at the rate of 1000 cars a week they will be able to clean up the shortage before the wet weather set, in.
