Opportunity to Increase Vocational Training in Public Schools Brought tx Officials' Attention. .' SALKM. Or., Dec. 27. (Special.) Newton Van Dalsem, In charge of vo aational training in the public schools .'jf Oregon, says It is apparent that many school officials are not aware 'of the opportunity to receive federal .,4-nd state funds for the teaching of agriculture. The Oregon plan for vocational training, as outlined by Mr. Van Dal sem, Is essentAa.l'ly a means of insur ing the .placing of the work on a prac tical basis, and: through the home project proposal is placed on a basis which Is productive agriculturally as Veil as sducatl o nail y . "Some schools where the pupils omi mostly from the farm desire to relate their manual training more ,losely to the needs of farm life," fays Mr. Van Dalsem. "In small '..schools It may be possible to turn the school shop Into a laboratory for farm chop work and farm mechanics and have one teacher handle both shop work and agricultural Instruction. In large schools there Is usually co-operation between the teaching of manual training and agriculture. 'Departments of vocational agri culture form an excellent medium for the school to extend Its service Into the community. As the Instructors are employed for 12 months and serve aa supervisors of home work they WORD PASTOR CHOSEN I REV. E. E. GILBERT TO SUPER- IXTEXD METHODIST DISTRICT.

Fifteen-year-old Alta Brooks will not be the victim of the juvenile code of the state of Washington, which permits a minor to be sentenced to the penitentiary. Presiding Judge Gatens or the circuit court yesterday granting a writ of habeas corpus, which prevents the carrying out of a sentence of Judge Back of Vancouver, committing the child to Walla Walla for a term of from 2 to 10 years. By chance the guard who was tak ing the girl to the penitentiary de cided to go by way of Portland, which resulted in the petition for a writ a week ago. while the child was within the Jurisdiction of local courts, by W. G. MacLaren of the Portland com mons, who was acquainted with the girl's history and had been Interested in her case for several years. By 'the Judge's decision the girl Is left In charge of Mr. MacLaren. Miss Brooks will be given a new chance to reform, announced Mr. Mac Laren last night. A Portland woman of means will take the girl into her home and treat her as one of the family. The girl Is a tomboy and heartily dislikes housework, so she will be given an opportunity to work outside of the home. Several families are interested in the child.

He held that she was still a ward of the Juvenile court in Washington county, which had been her status at the time she stole an automobile in Vancouver. Uaw Called Shameful. When Attorney Tom Garland, rep resenting the girl, told the court that the Washington law permitted a girl of 15 to be sentenced to the peniten tiary. Judge Gatens Interrupted: "They ought to be ashamed of them selves In Washington for such a law." J. Fred Yates, Clarke county at torney, was asked If he would Insist on sending the girl to the penitentiary If she was sent back to Vancouver. "I am here to defend the honor of Judge Back," he repeated. "His char acter has been Impugned. He came to Multnomah county people In Investi gating the case. I heard the girl say In court that she was over 18 and she was sentenced to the penitentiary on her own request. Though I cannot state officially, but as a private citi zen I would want her case submitted to the Washington state board of control." On the witness stand MacLaren said he had gone to Vancouver on behalf of the girl prior to her sentence but that county attorney and judge could not be seen and police gave him scant attention. J. O. Bailey, assistant attorney-general of Oregon, represented the state in the matter. State Aids Wayward. "Oregon does not want criminals, btit Oregon Is Interested In looking after the wayward youth with the hope of making him a good citizen," declared Judge Gatens, when the testimony was concluded. "That Is why our constitution says that all laws are based on reformation. I wonder what that court in Vancouver could have been thinking of to sen tence a girl, whose face clearly shows she could not be over 18, to the peni tentiary? Walla Walla Is not a re formatory. It Is only to protect so ciety against criminals. How can a mere child of 15 years oe said to be reformed by placing her in an Institu tion which Is organized for the Incar ceration of the worst elements of society 7 "It Is said that Judge Back did what he could for this girl. He failed lamentably. Brand this girl as a felon and she could never reform. It was the duty of the court when he saw this 15-year-old girl's youthful face to have Insisted upon some at torney representing her. Juvenile courts and child welfare commissions are organized for the purpose of deal ing with delinquent children In an Intelligent manner. "To say that a 15-year-old girl should be confined In the penitentiary from 24 to 10 years at hard labor is a travesty upon Justice.

To Avoid Folly Study Fools It Is Easier to See WHY a Man Failed Than to Figure HOW He Succeeded The "Madman of Berlin" sneeringly referred to Amer icans as "a lot of Barnums," thereby displaying his igno rance both of the American people and the big showman. True. Barnum is quoted as saying "the American peo ple love to be fooled," BUT AT THAT HE GAVE THEM THE BEST SHOW THE WORLD EVER SAW and his name still 4ives not because of what he SAID, but because of what he DID. Had the crazed monarch studied the "fools of Amer icans" he would have avoided the fatal folly of goading a patient, long-suffering, peace-loving people until they rose in their giant strength and crushed Prussianism into the earth forever. The Bolsheviki "built their house on the sand" of inex perience and ignorance, not to say bigotry. They tried the impossible endeavoring to make all men equal, regardless of learning, training, skill or ability. With a contempt for knowledge and a hatred of the well-to-do, they inaugurated "reform." That not only wrecked an empire, but will eventually bring about their own downfall.
