Students to Get Together at U'ui-
Tersity Clubhouse.
Every time one of the players in the
big New Year's, day football game at
Pasadena gets knocked, out, somebody
up at the University crab is going to
turn on a little jazz and the Oregon
rooters who are unable to go south
will dance off their exuberance.
This is the word given out by Ar
thur Geary, president of the Univer
sity of Oregon Alumni association,
who has secured two rooms at the
club for the use of students, alumni
and friends here in Portland. A spe
cial telegraph wire will bring direct
reports of the game, play by play, and
between halves or during other rest
periods there will be dancing. The
rooms at the club will be open to the
students from 2 to 5 o'clock, a small
admission fee being charged to cover
the cost of the wire service.
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

tion, succeeding- the late Dr. T. B.

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.
Loud applause from clubwomen and
others crowding Judge Gatens' court
room vesterdav crrAetori Viio ArUn
that In the confltc. of authority be- I S
Lwcen me state or uregon ana Wash
ington the welfare of the girl should
be the deciding factor. 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.
Be thankful you are an American where you may
rightly ASPIRE to the highest office in the land, but
also be thankful that the American people will see to it
that you are CAPABLE OF FILLING THE POSITION
or you will not fill it long.
