Mla Dtmlck, principal of the Brook

educators of. the city, says: "W hava

Sloan's - system Is a moat admirable
educative feature. The children have
been able with this method to do more

has been covered wHh any other sys

The action of the etate 'commission
on text books la' ignoring tho first and
. second grade readers by Mrs. Katherln
Sloan of this city 4s greatly deplored
bv Portlaad educators. ,:,.;.;,; v
, Superintendents, principals and teach
era alike unite In saying that the Sloan
readers are better adapted to tho; Use

. tho city' schools for two yearn as aup

have ' used - them. - It was confidently
expected that they .would be adopted
by the text book commission and the
blow ta a severe disappointment to. too
- many admirers of-tnr oooxs.
Wheeler Books -Wo XJked-
On the contrary, the Wheeler books
which, have been PUt.-V r received
with small joy.. ,
The whole question resolves itself
into a comparison of 'methods. - The
Wheeler- primer has been In use and
la well known; tt roiiowe ine oia memoa
of word study or eight reading. Tho
Sloan method, on the other hand, has
grown up tn.the school room, following
closely the method which Is apprved
by and which has tho Indorsement of
froreseor Kigier, ins cny luptnnwnu
nt This la the phonlo method, or
teaching- -by- vowel -sounds. . Children
'take this method up easily, and -the re
sults are really surprising, not oruy
do the children learn to read tho lesson
In 'the books with ease. but, so the
teachers say. they are able after a few
months' study with this method, to read
nny-book, for the system Is founded on
Intelligent psychological principles and
is pecuiary adapted to tho ehidlsh mind.
. Thinks rhonio Method Best. -One
of the teachers' from Clarke coun
ty, Washington, who is in the city, ex
pressed herself freely as in favor of the
phonic method as taught in the Sloan
book, above all other systems which
he has over seen.
YTou know tho value of the method In
the city schools,4 she said, "but you
can scarcely realise .what it means to
the -country school teacher. She has
peculiar problems to meet. ' Her time
must bo divided between SO or 40 chil
dren Of sll sixes and grades. With tho
word method of teaching reading, the
little ones, are dependent upon the
teacher for each word. With the phonic
method, they can ' sit down and study
out the lesson by themselves, and It
rives them a graap of the principles of
reading which no other system csn ao-
proscn. .-" -i . -V ! x - .,......
"We are required by the state school
and tho county school laws. ' says
first grade tescher of the city, - "to
teach reading by the Phonic system
Yet they rive us a word 'method book
to teach .from and ignore the nhonlc
entirely." : - -. -rrr-tV.-

A striking coincidence occurred last
week In tho action . of three - colleges
! which simultaneously conferred npon
Rev. William Hiram Foulkea, pastor of
tho First Presbyterian church of thla
city, the title of doctor of divinity.
. Mr. Foulkea waa invited t iva tha I
annual convocation address st wnit-
worth college, Tacoma. last week. At
tno conclusion or tho address the board
of trustees tendered him this ' honor
wnicn was entirely unexpected to him.
On his return homo ho found telegrams
from both his alma mater, Emporia,
Kansas, and Lenox college, Iowa, con
veying to mm ine tidings mat on tno
samo evening both of these had also
made him a doctor of divinity. ' -.
Mr. Foulkes has nrevlouslv declinari a
similar action by Lenox and has only I
ov , nis nersonai reenn nraventaA his
own college from conferring upon him
tne degree perore. ho admits, however,
that this triple honor can hardl be
