xtnlnv. Jannary 8, ASHLAND TIDINGS PAGE FIFTEEN' Closer Co-operation Among Teachers Planned at Institute With over 400 delegates In atten dance the Fifteenth Annual session of the Oregon State Teachers' Asso ciation was opened In the auditorium of the high school Monday. The ped agogues began arriving from alt over tho state Sunday night and by Mon day the hotels of the city were filled to overflowing. In addition to teachers and super intendents there were In attendance representatives from the University of Oregon, the O. A. C, and the State Normal schools. Monday was spent in the adoption of a new constitution, the selection of Portland as the permanent meet ing I'lace rif the association, by which it is hoped to gain a much larger attendance of members, and In hearing the lecture of Thomas M. nullist, dean, of New York university on the subject of "Educational Prob lems in the Light of Evolution." Dean Dallist appealed to the teach erfi to use psychological principles of evolution in the teaching especially f voune children. He traced the de velopment of the nerve centers of the body and showed by describing the actions of young children how cer tain large muscles controlled by fun damental nerve centers are first de veloped. Typical of these are the norvn centers which control the grasping power of the hands. Even tiny babies are able to perform this function. His plea throughout the lecture was for the recognition of this fact, that In children some func tions are developed earlier than oth ers, in teaching and to make educa tion instruction follow these lines of development, allowing nature and time to aid In the development of complicated nerve processes. The opening program was as lol lows: Piano solo, Miss Venita Hamilton. Address of Welcome, Attorney Gus Newbury. Response, H. H, Heardman, of Portland. Male quartet, Noel Lindley, Herb ert Alford, Clarence Meeker and Lewis Bennett. Violin solo, Miss Bess Bryan. Violin duet, W. C.

The commercial division of the Oregon State Teachers' association held several Interesting sessions at the high school Tuesday and Wed nesday. J. M. Gressley of the high school commercial department pre sided, and Mrs. B. I. Van Gilder of the Medford Commercial college, acfol rs secretary. Several questions concerning com mercial education were discussed. These discussions were participated In by the following teachers: Dean Bexell, O. A. C; Dean Morton, U. of O.; L. T.

Van Gilder, Medford Commercial college, and E. B. Stanley, Central Point high school. It was unanimously decided to af filiate with the department of voca tional education and to meet next year at Portland. It was also de cided to Invite all members of the National Commercial Teachers' fed eration who are teaching In Oregon to unite with this organization in advancing the cause of commercial education throughout the state. A resolution, offered by Mr. Greesley, was adopted as follows: That each county Institute be asked to organize a commercial teachers' association, which would send a delegate to the state convention, and that private commercial schools be recognized. Mr. Van Gilden suggested that a Southern Oregon Commercial Teach ers' association be organized, which would affiliate with the state associa tion. A discussion followed which showed that everyone was In favor of such an organization. The principal feature of the ses sion was an animated discussion of the report of the committee on the standardization of courses In com merce In the high schools of Oregon. The leaders in the discussion were Dean Bexell of the O. lA. C. and Dean Morton of the U. of 0. Follow ing the discussion, the report was unanimously adopted. Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: President, C. D. Lazenby of the Jefferson high school, Portland; and secretary, Mrs. Lawrence, of Port land. The Roach Timber Company of Muscatine, Iowa, has raised $300,000 to build the first section of a logging road near Sutherlin. The Jury of Awards at both San Francisco and San Diego Expositions found an oil made from California asphalt-base crude, higheet in lubricating efficiency. That oil was Zerolene.The fact, too, that such unbiased author ities at a U, S.

E. McDonald was In Ashland on business Wednesday from his home near the government fish hatchery on Rogue river, thirty miles from Med ford. Mr. McDonald stated while here that on ChriBtmas there was a family reunion, there being seven brothers among the thirty-five mem bers and family representatives pres ent. Mr. McDonald Informed us that several of the brothers, Including himself, are permanently located on their 600-acre farm there, and owing to the great demand for a nearby mountain resort in the Rogue river country, they are building a fine ho tel near the fish hatchery on the banks of Rogue river, where tourists may find the very best accommoda tions. The hotel Is of the mission style of architecture, having steps thirty feet wide leading to the main entrance, and columns twenty feet high across the front of the building. An electric plant Is to be Installed to furnish lights and power for the premises. Everything will be mod- !ern in every respect and the manage. ment will be the best. The materials used in the construc tion of the fireplaces weighed ninety tons, and 150,000 feet of lumber will ! be necessary to complete the main structure. W. G. Mcponald, one of the pro prietors, is a landscape artist of much note, who will have a perpetual art exhibit second to none on the Pacific coast. The proprietors hope to be ready for the grand opening some time in June, 1916. They also intend to construct a trail from their place to the Umpqua divide, making it convenient for hunting parties to get In and out of the good hunting grounds. It is to be hoped that these gentle men will meet with success In their endeavor to serve the public. G. W. McNAB. Yreka Boy and Mother in Smash Siskiyou News (Yreka, Cal.). An auto accident occurred on Friday evening at 6:30 o'clock which proved very serious and may be fatal to some of those Injured. Elmer Orr and his mother, Mrs. H. W. Orr, went by auto to Montague to meet her mother, Mrs. Anna Orr, and her half- sister, Mrs. Leonard Gilcrease, who came from Reno, Nev., to spend Christmas with relatives In Yreka Returning from Montague, and hav Ing topped Butcher hill approaching Yreka, they noticed an auto coming toward them, traveling In a zigzag manner and at great speed. Orr turned his auto as far to the side of the road as possible so as to escape a collision. The driver of the other auto, Frank Lewis, who has a ranch on the Shasta river near Montague, evidently must have lost control of his machine, as when he neared Orr's auto he turned directly torward It and collided in a head-on collision. Mrs. Anna Orr was thrown through the glass shield and suffered a brok en thigh near the hip and a fractured knee cap, and also several bad cuts on the face and neck. Her escape from death Is miraculous as the glass cut deep Into her neck. The others In the car were bruised and badly shaken. Lewis and a man by the name of Brown received a few cuts. It is reported that Lewis is suffering from internal injuries. Gallagher, driver of the Hoffman auto stage, coming up at the time of the accident, brought them all to Yreka.
