League Elections Held.

BOTH of the senior classes gave
their get-together parties last
week. The January class gave its
party Saturday night at Mary Wil
son's home near Oswego. It was in
the nature of a "kid party" and every
one dressed in children's clothes. The
Idea was carried out during the eve
ning, as the time was equally divided
between dancing and playing games.
The refreshments were all-day suck
ers, animal cookies and chocolate
milk drunk through a straw.
The June class held its first get
together party last Friday at Jean
Starkweather' home in the country.
The party was an informal dance and
the house was prettily and appropri
ately decorated. Delicious refresh
ments were served during the eve
ning. The party was a huge success
and almost every member of the
class was present.

An Important meeting was held by
the January "22 class on Monday.
After a great deal of discussion "Miss
Hobbs." by Jerome K. Jerome, was
selected for the class play. There are
three scenes in the play and the drops
are to be designed and made by the
art department. As soon as a coach
for the play has been chosen the cast
will be selected and the rehearsals
started.
At a recent meeting the June '22
class chose its honorary members
from the faculty. They are: Miss
Henderson, Mr. Stauffer. Mr. Very and
Miss Lily. The committee on class
pins has been hard at work and the
pins will probably be selected a week
from Monday.
The girls of the different terms

DECLARES PRESENT TIMES NEED
Threefold Development Deals With Self -Knowledge, Self -Control and Self -Denial,
efficient Bervice to the world must
always begin with a proper education
of the servant. His prayer was: "For
their sakes I santify myself"
"Sanctify" Held Aboard.
One of the greatest crimes of hu
man speech has been the abuse of
that word "sanctify." What should
have been a noble instrument of
thought has been distorted by a false
theology into an ecclesiastical scare
crow. In the minds of many to speak
of being "sanctified" suggests un
naturalness, Pharisaism. religious cant.
Whereas the word "sanctify" in its
New Testament significance means
nothing more or less than to set apart
for some useful, God-given purpose.
To sanctify is to prepare, a qualify, to
equip. When Jesus spoke of sancti
fying himself for the sake of others
he meant that he would equip himself
for real service in the highest welfare
of others. His was the sanctiflcation
of efficiency and was manifested in
service.
Jesus looked out for number one,
but it was only that he might be the
belter prepared to look out for num
ber two. For there is no powerful
"looking out" for number two which
does not begin with a clear and force
ful looking out for number one. Sel
fishness consists not in starting w'th
number one, but in stopping with
number one It is absurd to talk of
contributing greatly to others unless
one first of all has something worth
while to contribute. The flow of the
faucet is determined by the fullness
of the reservoir. There can be no
worthy altruism without an efficient
Individualism. These things are not
antagonistic but complementary and
it is in the union of the two that we
discover the complete social message
of Jesus Christ. "For their sakes"
that Is altruism; "I santify myself"
that Is the higher individualism.
And the danger today in all of our
social discussion is that in casting
aside that old individualism which
was defective we may at the same
time throw away this higher individ
ualism which is Christian. That I may
help some one In avoiding this dan
ger is my purpose this morning. I

HUMANE EDUCATION REGARDED AS HELPFUL
IN DEVELOPMENT OF CHARACTER OF CHILD
Gentleness, Mercy and Reverence for Life Are Power Behind World Movement to Protect Animals and
Human Beings From Cruelty, Which Grows Stronger as Time Passes.
This is the second of a ris of arti
cles for ue in connection with humane
education In the bchool and home. It is
now required by law thHt Oregon schools
devote a -brief period each week to Im
mune education, but such instruction is
generally omitted, as teachers have found
it difficult to obtain an outline of study.
The preaent series haa been prepared to
meet this need by Jessie Hodge Millard,
head of the children's department of the
Portland public library, and ulpha K.
Hmlth, a teacher in Portland public
schools.
If. W. LONGFELLOW.
How can I teach your children gentleness
And mercy to the weak and reverence for
lire.
When by your laws, your actions and your
speech
Tou contradict the very things I teach?
A TEACHER made a remark last
week which might apply to
many who do not know about
humane societies. She said: "I know
nothing about humane societies, or
what they do, and how can I teach
humane education in my class? I
sincerely want to do it, but I know
so little about the subject. How did
humane societies start?"
Acting on the suggestion, this arti
cle might enlighten those who do not
know.
Societies for the prevention of
cruelty to animals and societies for
the prevention of cruelty to children
sprang into existence to meet a special
need. They have continued to exist
and grow because they have done a
work most efficiently which com
mands recognition and respect of the
best thinking people in every com
munity. Probably we owe the first law In
the world to prevent cruelty to an
mals to an Irish member of the Brit
ish parliament. At one time, how
ever, before this, the celebrated Lord
Erskine tried to get such a law
parsed, but people made so much fun
of him that he backed out and gave
it up.
The story tells us that there came
Into the house of commons one day
an Irish gentleman from Galway, or,
as he was more familiarly known.
"Dick" Martin. Well, Dick was noted
for two things he was very fond of
animals and was known to be a
fighter when he thought anyone In
sulted him.
The day he brought in his law to
protect animals someone in the audi
ence made a cat-call. Mr. Martin
would speak today "on the elements
of the higher individualism as sug
gested by Christ's sanctiflcation of
self for the sake of others.
Self-Knonrlrdge Diacnued.
To begin with, this Christian in
dividualism of w hich I speak involves
the element which is commonly called
self-knowledge. The person who for
the sake of others proposed to sanc
tify himself should first of all have a
knowledge of himself. Here we come
upon the famous Greek maxim re
ported to have been given originally
by Socrates: "Know thyself." The
great philosopher held that the chief
end of life is knowledge, that the
chief thing to know is mind, and that
the first mind to know Is your own.
Now whether we are disposed to
follow Socrates or not, there can be
no quetsion that his saying. "Know
thyself," contains a valuable bit of
advice. We all need to make a etudy
of ourselves that we may apprehend
our weaknesses and our limitations,
our powers and our possibilities. We
need to know definitely what our
make-up is, what our exposures are,
the mental thickets where our temp
tations hide, the masks our sins as
sume, "the winding path by which for
us foible passes Into folly, and folly
Into failure."
A morbid Introspection is, of course,
always to be avoided. Just as a medi
cal patient should refrain from brood
ing over his ailments. Nevertheless,
an attempted cure without a careful
diagnosis is an insult to the laws
of the universe. Some may call such
procedure science, but in the light
of reason it is anything but scientific.
To' be blind to one's own defects is
to be deluded. It is only by a knowl
edge of our limitations that we can
ever hope to rise above them, even
as the apostle himself confesses:
-When I am weak, then am I strong.''
We need to know ourselves in order
to fit smoothly . into the general
scheme of things, and utilize the raw
materials which God has stored in
every human soui. Pathetic, indeed,
are the wrecks of men and women
who have chosen the wrong occupa
tions. John Stuart Mill declared that

gentleman did not give his name and

his seat and his law became the law
of Great Britain and the first law of
its kind in the world.
There is one society In England to
protect animals, composed of boys
and girls, which has a membership of
80,000.
.
Jn 1SBS the work for the preven
tion of cruelty to animals was started
in the United States under the direc
tion of Henry Bergh. During his stay
in Russia he witnessed many cases of
cruel treatment to animals and often
interfered at the risk of his own
life. On his way home he stopped In
London and learned there about the
Royal Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals. Then and there
ha Immediately decided to form a
society in the United States. The
newspapers aided him greatly by
publishing his lectures in all the
large cities and the public soon be
came interested. In April, 1866, the
American Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals was incor
porated in the state of New York, the
first society of its kind in the United
States. William O. Stillman is now
the president of the American Hu
mane association at Albany, N. T.
The humane societies of the world
are performing a great service to hu
manity and all should join forces and
unite to make them even better and
of more value to the coming' genera
tions. The humane educational move
ment is certainly a broad one, reach
ing from humane treatment of- ani
mals on the one hand to peace with
all nations on the other. Human and
humane movements are thus closely
related.
Humane education is fast coming
to be regarded as obligatory and not
voluntary In the public schools. In
1? of our states laws have been
passed compelling humane education.
They are: Colorado, North Dakota,
Wyoming, Michigan, Texas, Califor
nia. Oregon, Alabama, Oklahoma,
Connecticut. Kentucky. Washington.

for some of the heaviest financial
losses of society. Industrial mis
mating reminds us of a farmer who,
hitching his horses to a telescope and
trying to plow with it, would ruin
the instrument in the summer and
starve his family in the winter.
Not the ambitions of parents, not
the vanity of wife, not the pride of
place, but God and a sanctified knowl
edge of self must decide the questions
of one's occupation. Here every per
son must work out his own salva
tion. Within general lines phrenology
and physiognomy may prove bene
ficial, but, as another has said. It is
easier to determine what kind of man
lives in the house by looking at the
knob on his front door than to de
termine the brain and heart within
the body by studying the bumps upon
tbe face and forehead.
Nature's dictum is: "Grasp the
handle of your own being:" Each
through a knowledge of self must
fashion his own character and career.
Nature gives trees, but not tools; she
gives forests, but not furniture. In
a similar way God provides man
with the raw materials of character
and conduct, but the man himself
must work up these materials into'
those qualities called industry, honor,
truth and love, ever patterning after
the ideal man Jesus Christ. For
What ever we think of bis llrht divine.

This heart's confession la yours and mine;
That he was tbe perfect man.
Self-Control 3eceary.
But more vital even than elf
knowledge is a second element of this
Christian individualism the element
known as self-control. Among the
Greeks the philosopher Socrates
reached the pinnacle of his wisdom in
the maxim. "Know thyself." But
among the Romans, a little later, the
emperor-philosopher Marcus Aurelius
took a further step and laid down as
the motto of life the maxim, "Control
thyself." The first of these maxims
gives culture, the second gives char
acter, and culture without character
is no more to be trusted than a rush
ing locomotive without an engineer.
The individualism that serves is an
individualism that is built upon the
ft
game played with Benson Tuesday
afternoon. Several members of the
team, including Ben Margulis and
Lawrence Mische, the captain, spoke.
Other talks were given by Paul
Krausse. president of the January
class; Bill Hart, president of the June
class: Mr. Wapato, the coach: Prin
cipal Davis and Mr. Patton, who was
a member of the faculty last year, and
returned on Wednesday to talk at the
assembly before he left for Boise,

York and Illinois.
Someone has swid. "The lack of
this education is the principal cause
of crime." If this be true, how quickly,
then, would vice and crime diminish,
if the combined influence of the home,
church and school would promote
more kindness in the life of a child.
Just what is humane education?
Is it not the fostering in a child's
mind those principles of justice, fair
play andf kindness toward every form
of human and sub-human life capable
of suffering?
The object should be to stop all
forms of cruelty to human beings
and the lower animals. The educa
tional value, however, lies principally
in its contribution to the broadening
of the interest and sympathies of the
child. Those who have given the
matter much thought will agree that
no subject is of greater importance
in the formation of character, or in
determining good citizenship for the
future of the state, than humane
education.
"Show me the laws of a 9tate for
the prevention of cruelty to animals,
and I, in turn, will give you a cor
rect estimate of the refinement, en
lightenment, integrity and equity of
that commonwealth's people," said
L. T. Dashiell, who was at one time
speaker from Texas in the house
of representatives.
To the teachers: Inform yourself
thoroughly on the subject of humane
education If you expect to teach it
successfully. You say you have no
material and1 you do not know how
to get it. The work is very simple.
The office of. the Oregon Humane
society at the rou.r'.house room 153,
will give you all the information you
desire. Use your own public library
for books and material.
There are many books on the sub
ject of the humane movement. A few
are given here for those particularly
Interested, and you will find them
in the adult department of the pub
lic hbrary and its branches:
Covfle. "Appeal Against Slaughter"; Mc
Crea, "Humane Movement": Martlnengo
Cesaresco. T'lace of Animals in Human

Says Minister, Who Thinks Christian Manhood Must
mastery of self. No use in a person's
trying to regulate society if he can't
first of all regulate his own soul. The
passion for reform, like charity, is
something that must begin at home.
The man who would labor for the
sake of others must get his sancti
fication from the control of self.
Self-control Is the road to liberty
and personal independence. Losing
this mastery of self people are in
clined to become slaves to fashion, to
conventionality, to the opinions of
those about them. They are always
consulting their own social set of
their own particular party. They
yield to tradition and custom. Their
conduct is not a question of right and
wrong, but a questior. of what folks
will say. They are mere echoes of
others. Young people are often led
into all sorts of foolishness and dissi
pation for lack of courteous inde
pendence growing out of a rational
self-control. They follow the gang
like a flock of sheep, fulfilling the
Master's description. "All ye like
sheep have gone astray." What they
need is a Fourth of July for their
souls the declaration of a personal
independence with a realizing sense
of how much better is man than a
sheep.
Personal Freedom Possible.
Again, self-control is the road not
only to social independence but also
to prsonal freedom in the matter of
private habit. We need to be liber
ated not only from the tyranny of
fashion but also from the slavery cd)
passion, and self-control is the only
way out. John Ruskin calls one who
has lost the power of self-control a
"little floppy, soppy tadpole," which
after all is rather rough on the tad
pole, for of all gelatinous imbeciles a
human being who has surrendered his
power to govern himself is about' the
meanest and most despicable. This
is the shame and curse of the modern
drug craze whether it be that of al
cohol, tobacco or opium it filches
from a man his own self-mastery and
leaver him a mere hack of impulse,
"a hulk for passion to play upon and
toss about as it and the devil may
please." And the same thing may be
said of other forms of vice social

term girls was to d,raft and make
a fitted lining of unbleached muslin.
The lining is to be put upon a form
to be used for fitting coats, suits
and dresses.
The coats of the fourth-term girls
are to be finished soon. Many of
them are being finished off in fancy
embroidery stitches, while some are
being trimmed with fur.
Part of the Friday morning assem
bly October 7,- was- conducted very
successfully by the fourth-term do

license, the gambling habit, or sensual
amusement.
Perhaps I speak to one this morn
ing who deep down in his heart
knows that he is fast becoming a
slave to some evil practice, some false
custom, some old fallacy. If there be
such an one, in the name of his own
God-given manhood, let him sound
the bugle of moral liberty, drive out
the ignominious tyranny from his life
and assert henceforth his own inalien
able and divine right of self-mastery.
For
He ts a hero, staunch and brave.
Who fights an unseen foe.
And puts at last beneath his feet
Hia passions, base and low:
Who stands erect in manhood's might.
Undaunted, undismayed.
As brave a man as draws a sword
In foray or in raid.
Self-Deulal la Included.
But this Christian sanctiflcation
for service, which we have called the
higher individualism, must embrace
something more than self-knowledge
and self-control; it must include also
the element known as self-denial. The
elementary virtues of self-knowledge
as given by Socrates among the
Greeks and of self-control as given
by MarcusAurelius among the Romans
are both thoroughly Christian in their
truest import; and yet the supreme
glory of Christianity is that it does
not stop with these elementary quail
ties, but goes on and fulfills and
crowns the first two maxims, "Know
thyself" and "Control thyself," In a
third maxim given by the great Mas
ter of the ages when he said: "If any
man would come after me, let him
deny himself and take up his cross
and follow me." "Know thyself" is
culture. "Control thyself" is charac
ter, but Jesus Christ said, "Deny thy
self," and this is not only character
and culture, but also service and spir
itual beauty.
Now to many people self-denial sa
vors of something like sackcloth and
ashes, asceticism, self-immolation.
But this is not the Christ ideal.
Christian self-denial does not mean
any lessening of the volume of man
hood, but rather the utilizing of man
hood in the higher interests of our
mestic science girls. They gave in
teresting talks on the following
topics: "No Crowding in the Cafe
teria," "Less Haste in Eating" and
"The Use of More Milk."
The third-termers are busily mak
ing wool dresses and skirts. Each
made a sample of seam binding.
The fourth-term history girls are
delving into the ancient lore of old
Egypt and are finding the study very
Interesting as well as educational.
The freshmen have finished their
first and second problems in sewing
and are now making designs for
nightgowns.
One of the most Interesting Studies
of the industrial art classes is the
process of tied and dyed work which
most of the girls are taking up for
the first time. One sees many pretty
luncheon sets the girls have made
hanging on the walls of room five.
These sets are finished with fancy
embroidery stitches of various colors.

INDIVIDUALISM
Take Thought of Others.
fellow-beings. Jesus' self-denial is
a new sort of self-denial. It is not
self-annihilation. On the contrary, It
begins with the honoring of self and
this in order that it might end with
the honoring of all humanity. Self
sacrlflce In Jesus' conception of the
term assumes and presupposes that
self-culture and that self-control
which makes the sacrifice of real
value.
Self-denial is never to be confused
with mere almsgiving. It involves
the relief of the needy, to be sure,
but ft is a relief that takes the form
of personal thought, personal Interest
nnd personal sympathy for the Bwel
fare of others. You may be abl 9 and
perfectly willing to write a liberal
check for charity, but this Is not
nearly so important as the dedica
tion of your 'thought, your time and
your talents, as well as your money,
to the Interests of the kingdom.
Personality Vital Force.
For wht is religion anyway? When
you get right down to its actual sub
stance, especially on its human side,
it isn't a creed, it isn't a mode of con
due, it isn't a feeling, although it
involves all these things. In its es
sence it is the radiation of personal
ity. True religion Is the forthput
ting of a person dominated by the
highest virtues, such as love, mercy,
patience end courage, while false re
ligion is the Influence of those who
are controlled by arrogance, selfish
ness. Intolerance and fanaticism.
Christianity is simply the personal
influence of the Christ-type of char
acter and it has spread throughout
the world because men and women
everywhere fall in love with the
Christ kind of people.
And thus we have before us the
higher individualism as taught by
Jesus Christ. It is personal manhood
derived from the blending of the
three maxims: "Know thyself."
"control thyself," "deny thyself."
Christian manhood is first intelli
gent, then moral, then sacrificial.
The higher Individualism Is the sym
metrical development of the whole
self in the interests of honoring and
serving the entire community, all in
fulfillment of the Master's own.
Jefferson Holds Combina

Columbua Day Ohaervaaee and

Technical Club Hevlved.
BY HARRY G. JOHNSOV
THE liveliest and the peppiest as
sembly for several u
held on Wednesday in the Interests
of the Jefferson-Washington football
game and was also linked with the
regular Columbus day assembly.
Frank Lacy first led the students in
singing. Then Principal Jenkins gave
an address in which he coupled Co
lumbus, his courage in carrying out
his convictions in the face of op
position and school spirit in footbull
of today.
Joe Frasser delivered a talk on the
tag sale which was held on Friday.
Wlllard Leihy spoke on behalf of tlie
football team, stressing the point that
Jeffer'sonlans must refrain from dls
order in the grandstand at games.
Cyril Gloyn then spoke In contrast to
this, praising rather than upbraiding
the student body. Following this
speech, Mr. Karnopp Introduced a new
school song to tho gathering.
. Mr. Jenkins introduced Mr. Dressier
of the Meier & Frank store, and he
gave a "red-hot" speech to the stu
dents. School spirit was so aroused
by this speech that tho sale of foot
ball tickets increased over 100 per
cent. Mr. Ritchie and tho yell lead
ers then led in an assortment of
rousing yells, and the assembly closed
with a final talk by tho principal.
The Technical club, after a lapse of
two terms. Is being reorganized. A
meeting was held on Tuesday, at
which over 50 students were present.
The election then held was polled
Wednesday, with the following re
sults: President, Robert Summers;
vice-president, Victor Wetzel: secre
tary, Mr. Crowther; sergeant-at-arms.
Mr. O'Connor. Plans are now being
formulated for several social affairs,
including the semiannual "low
Jinks."
All students of Jefferson have re
ceived pledges of honor to sign, thus
declaring that they do not belong to
any of the so-called "frats" or sorori
ties which are considered objection
able by the school board, and that
they will not Join so long as they are
In attendance at Portland high
schools.
A musical assembly was held on
Monday of last week, with Mr. Bover
in charge. After the students hid
saluted the flag and had sung "The
Star-Spangled Banner," Mr. Buyer
led them through a number of soni.
The Jefferson school library is
much more popular this term llinn
last, judging from the book circula
tion. During the preceding term an
average of 165 volumes was cir
culated per day. During the month
of September, this term, the average
was 265 volumes per day. The library
has come to be too small tills term
to seat the entire number of reference
pupils, so Mr. Jenkins has given his
permission that the rear balcony of
the auditorium be used to give ad
ditional seating facililies.
The Clalawas have now well started
their interesting programme for the
term. The new members admitted
Include Ruth Hill. Helen Long, Helen
Hoist, Joyce Aldrich. Lois Scroggln,
Lutie Welch and Clirystal Carrigan.
On Saturday. October S, the club made
a trip to Tunnel falls, on the Eaglo
creek trail. Other hikes will be car
ried out as the weather permits.
Miss Holman, Jefferson's dean of
girls, has evolved a scheme which
bids fair to aid in the betterment of
the school. A box, made by the
manual training department, is to be
fastened just inside the door of Room
I, the dean's officeto receive notes
from students, suggesting new ideas
concerning the management of the
school. v
Work on the January, '22, class
play Is now well started, under the
direction of Miss Nina L. Greathouse.
Several trial casts have been made,
but the final cast has not yet been
selected. The "Road to Yesterday"
is to be the play.
The Live Wires at Jefferson have
been busy, so far this term, with the
football tickets. An additional task
for them is the tag sale, conducted to
aid in the financing of athletics. The
goal was $200. On an average, one
tag sale is necessary each term, as
football is the only self-supporting
branch of athletics.
prayer of personal dedication: "For
their sakes I sanctify myself."
My friend, let me persuade you to
make this prayer of the Christ your
own, that you too may know the joys
that come with the sanctiflcation of
self for Christian service. Believe me
when I tell you that there Is no other
satisfaction comparable to that of go
ing through life with the conscious
ness of rendering to the world an ef
ficient ministry, while on the other
hand the very core of that devli
epirit which makes about all the
trouble on earth Is the constant de
sire to get as much as possible out of
the world and give as little as possi
ble in return. This diabolical spirit
assumes many forms and has many
names. It is called thoughtlessness
and disrupts families. It is called
pride and causes wars. It Is called
greed and works all manner of cruel
ty and crime.
Ah. yes, Jesus Christ knew what he
was talking about when In preaching
the gospel of the higher manhood he
conditioned happiness on helpfulness
and in Itiying the foundaiion of the
Christian commonwealth he tauuhl
his disciples that they were saved to
serve:
"Ye know that the rulers of tne
Gentiles lord it over them and their
gretK ones exercise authority over
them; not so shall it be among you,
but whosoever would become great
among you shall be your minister and
and whosoever would be first -among
you shall be your servant, even as
the Son of man came not to be min
istered unto. But to minister and to
give his life a ransom for many."
What care T for ciMe or creed?
It is the deed, It Is the deed.
What for clans, or what for clan?
It Is the man, ft Ik the man!
It is of love and Joy and woe.
For who is high and who is low?
Mountain, valluv, aky and sea
Are for all humanity.
What care I for robe or tole?
It is the soul. It is the soul.
What for crown or what for chest?
It Is the heart within the breast:
It la the faith. It Is the hope.
It in the Mruggle up the slope.
It Is the brain and I he eye to fet
One God and one humanity.
This Is the social programme of
higher Individualism.
