Grave of Pioneer

F.. G. Webb Is President; Unit
System for County Urged
By Thomas Gentle
A movement to erect a fitting
memorial over the grave of David
Hill, often mentioned as the first
governor of Oregon, and who lies in
un unmarked grave in the Hillsboro
cemetery, was started at the teach
er-' institute here lust week by Mrs.
Edith Tozier Weatherred of Cham-
poeg.
Hillsboro wus named after
Mr. Hill.
Committee at
Work
Mr. Hill was one of a committee
of three to govern Oregon before
the provisional government was or
ganized.
A committee from the
Washington County Teachers’ asso
ciation was appointed to organize
the work in the schools, with the
idea of securing from five to ten
cents from each child and to give
the children an insight into their
own local Oregon history. B. W.
Barnes of Hillsboro, J. P. McGlas-
son of Forest Grove and 1. R. Metz
ler of Beaverton were named on
the committee.
E. G. Webb of Beaverton was
named president of the county asso
ciation. Other officers are: Miss
Leone Graham, Forest Grove, vice-
president; Mrs. Ida Hornecker, Rock
Creek, secretary, and Mrs. Josephine
Case, Hillsboro, treasurer.
Advocates
Unit
System
The county unit school system
was discussed by Thomas Gentle of
the university extension division.
All schools in the county with the
exception of first class districts and
of the second class with 500 stu
dents in the census, would be gov
erned by a board of five, who would
select a county superintendent. Mr.
Gentle says this would take the
schools out of politics and bring
about an equal distribution of the
school taxes.
Dean J. R. Jewell of Oregon State
college pointed out th« difference
between the present day educational
methods and those of several years
ago.
Education today develops the in
dividual and brings out originality,
according to a statement made at
the institute by Dr. Norman Cole
man, president of Reed college.
There is no more wickedness
among the young today than in
other years, declared Dr. D. V. Pol
ing of Albany, who led in the com
munity
He objected to the
young people being condemned be
cause they are more open than their
fathers and mothers. Dr. Poling said
that he would guarantee that there
were more hip flasks carried in the
days of the saloon than today.
Those who are bemoaning the lack
of enforcement, he said, do not
realize the horrors of saloon days.
The delegates to the Oregon State
Teachers' association which will be
held in Portland during the last
week of December are: Leonard Al
ley, Gaston; B. W. Barnes, Hills
boro; Mrs. C. E. Barker, Aloha;
Miss Myrtle Mullen, Garden Home,
and J. P. McGlasson, Forest Grove.
Mrs. Nellie Cochrane of Garden
Home. Albert Yoker of Banks, Miss
Josephine Uppenkamp of Hillsboro,
and Miss Beatrice Brown of Laurel
are alternates.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
That a speaker be secured by the
incoming superintendent to again
present the county unit system for
taxation and school administration
at the next county institute, and
that some arrangement be made to
have the system presented and ex
plained to the members of the local
school boards nnd school patrons of
Washington county.
A vote of
thanks was extended to the Union
high school district No. 3 for the
use of their buildings; a vote of
appreciation to Mrs. Emma Bryant,
retiring school superintendent, and
a vote of welcome to N. A. Frost,
incoming superintendent. In another
resolution they urge that the school
boards of the respective districts
consider the provision of adequate
and suitable living conditions for
teachers.
The retiring officers present and
acting were E. G. Webb, Beaver
ton, vice-president; Mrs. Margaret
Mooberry, Cornelius, secretary, and
Mrs. Josephine Case, Hillsboro,
treasurer.

done only with the co-operation of
the public, according to the post
master. He says to mail early for
delivery before Christmas day, on
which there will be no mail de-

Mr. Holznagel calls attention t«
a few things
_ to be observed in
Christmas mailing:
Pack and wrap your parcels se-
curely, using strong paper for th«
outside wrapper, and tie with strong
twine, The use of holly paper or
colored paper of any kind for th«
outside wrapper of parcels is ob-
jectionable because such paper is
usually not tough, and also because
an address written thereon cannot
be easily read.
“Articles such as glassware, fra
gile toys, etc., which are easily
broken, must be crated or securely
packed, using plenty of excelsior or
similar material to prevent break
age.
“In previous years many parcels
have been presented for mailing on
which
Christmas
stickers
were
placed over the string or otherwise
in such a manner as to seal th«
parcel. This should not be done if
it is intended to send the parcel at
the parcel post rate, as such pro
cedure subjects the parcel to the
first class rate of postage.
“The use of the special delivery
service will expedite delivery at
the office of address and entitle»
parcel post matter to first class
handling while in transit. Be sure,
however, that the proper special de
livery fee is paid so that no collec
tion of postage due will have to be
made from the addressee.
"When parcel^

so thA it may be indorsed “fragile.”
Address all parcels on one sid«
only. When separate address tags
or labels are used be sure that they
are securely attached to the parcel.”

Jannsen Has Work
On the New Bridge
The Brandaw brothers at

Argus classified, but decided
tat it might be a good way to
sell five yearling Guernseys.
A three-line ad was ordered
for two issues of the paper.
The five cows sold on Sunday
after the first issue. The ad
cost 30 cents for the first time
or 10 cents a line, and 25
cents, the minimum charge,
for each additional time.
Results of this kind are
coming to users of the Argus
classifieds every week. Have
you something to sell? Let the
Argus sell it for you at a small
cost. Telephone 261.
A. M. Jannsen, Reedville well
driller, has the contract for boring
on the new St. Johns bridge in
Portland. The work of the crew
under Mr. Jannsen is the first ac
tual work to span the Willamette at
that point. They are poking into
the ground to determine where the
bridge should be located. In each
case, unless solid rock is struck
sooner, the bore will go down at
least 100 feet.
