TEACHERS GIVEN A
HEARTY WELCOME;
NEED? DISCUSSED
Meeting Held at New Lincoln
- High School; Course of Lee
- ,tures-Announced; Practical
Side of Education. . -
By AnnetU Wynne.
A general meeting of the teachers of
Portland waa held In the splendid audi
torium of the new Lincoln high school
Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The
chairman, H. C. Campbell, extended a
'Welcome to the returning teachers and
to the teachers new In the service. He
called attention to the architectural
beauties of the new high school, and to
the fact that all pupils and teachers
will have a prldo In feeling that the
architect, Mr. Whltehoufte, was a for
mer pupil of Lincoln high school.
.. Mr. Hlgler, superintendent of schools,
announcod a series of lectures to begin
, October 8. The lectures are designed
i for teachers and all others Interested In
educational work. Mr. Rtgler impressed
, the fact upon the teachers that these
j would be talks on education, rather than
real lectures,
. To Consider Practical Problems.
The aim Is to stimulate the reading of
Professor O'Shea's books on education.
Most of Professor O'Shea's Writings are
extremely scientific, but the special
book under discussion will be "Educa
tion as an Adjustment." This book deals
with the most practical problems of
th schoolroom. "Order In tho Class
room," which has been long ago dropped
at teachers' Institutes as a subject of
discussion, Is made of vital Importance.
Professor , O'Shea believes that It Is
the very foundation of teaching, because
no real teaching can be accomplished
Without good discipline. For the last
:few years the theoretical side of educa
tion has held tho attention of educa-
i tors, but a reaction has come, and more
and more stress Is being laid upon the
practical problems of the school room.
Professor Rlgler said further that
thers were hindrances to the teachers
accomplishing their best work, and his
aim throughout-the year would be to
remove these as far as possible.
In the first place, the course of study
la so crowded that the program Is al
most Impracticable. In the olden days
when there were no new arts In the
course of study tho three li.'a could
occupy the whole school day.
Hew Courses Added.
Now to the course of study, manual
training, music, drawing, etc., have been
added, but all of the old subjects nave
been retained as well. The consequence
Is a crowded course. Manual training
and other branches of the newer educa
tion are valuable and must be retained.
The fundamentals must be taught well,
but too much time and effort is spent
on the theoretical side of mathematics
and Knglish grammar. If only the
practical side of these subjects Is
taught then the timo saved could be
added to the manual arts.
Another hindrance to the work of
teachers la tho fact that though the
course of study is prescribed by the
city authorities, the choice of text
books Is lodged with the state. This
makes an utter lack -of adjustment. The
choice of text books and tho making of
the course of study must be lodged in
the same hands. The state text book
commission of five will meet during the
year, and after that the city authorities
will' readjust the course of study.
Moat Not Be D Is tinted.
Another hindrance to the teacher's
work Is the use of school time for out
side Durnoses. Many charltablo organ
izations with good intentions, and also
es business men trespass on the tilne !
of teachers and pupils. Hundreds of
requests are maite at the board of edu
cation for permission to utako announce
ments to pupils and teachers during
school hours. The schools are a good
avenue for advertisement. Sometimes
requests are made for children to lio ex
cused from school for various reasons. 1
The objects are sometimes very worthy,
but- the time has come when all such .
things must be forbidden during school I
hours. The five hours of school arc
too short now to accomplish the results
desired, and outside Intrusions must-be
warded off. Mr. Rlgler asked the as
alstance of all the teachers and there
were nearly 900 present in removing
these hindrances for the betterment of
the public Bchools of Iffeitlatid.
After the general Ring in the au
ditorium. Professor Davis of the Lin
coln high school welcomed his corps of
teachers to the new building. During
the coming week many teachers' meet
lings will be held at the different
i schools, and the year's work begun in
, earnest.

PLACE DFHIS BIRTH
Corvallis Citizens Hear His
Ideas on Tariff, Roads and
Other Problems.
Corvallis, Or., Sept. 17. Dr. Harry
Iane of Portland, Domocratlo candidate
for United States senator, addressed a
large audience last night at the court
house In this city. In Introducing the
speaker Robert Johnson, county chair
man, said Dr. Lane was a native of this
county, and declared that near the south
end of Second street, the business street,
an old house now used a a carpenter
shop was the birthplace of the senator
ial candidate.
The speaker protested against the al
leged expenditure of large sums by Mr.
Selling to secure the Republican nomina
tion and claimed that If elected Mr. Sell
ing, on account of his wealth and Inter
est In large enterprises, would be In
clined to take care In a measure of the
large Interests.
Dr. Lane advocated shifting of the
tariff, on plows arid other things In
daily necessary use and placing it on
the luxuries of tho wealthy class. He
said the people of the United States
had been betrayed by their representa
tives wittingly.
"Labor," he said "has had to go Into
the free market."
The speaker urged very strongly the
recall of United States senators and
federal Judges. "For the sake of the
bench," he stated, "our counts and those
governed by them, I demand that Judges
be recalled when they prove dishonest
or corrupt." ,
He spoke briefly ot his experience aa
mayor of Portland and his ability to
deal with large corporations. Among
other planks In his platform were a
graduated Income tax, the building of a
merchant marine, the building of federal
roads, and the opening of Oregon har
bors to the commerce of the world
Democratic candidates for county of
fices declare that though there Is a
normal Republican majority of nearly
400 In this county Dr. Lane will have
a fair chance of a Democratio victory

Two Valuable, Recipes
for the Hair and Skin
Washing the head with aoap results
in discolored, "stringy" hair and a
scalp that is dry and scaly or unduly
oily. Shampooinjr with canthrox soon
corrects the condition that causes this,
and a teaspoonful dissolved in a cup
hot water is ample for the thickest head
of hair. Canthrox Is soothing and In
vigorating and not alone cleanses thor
oughly and completely, but stimulates
the hair roots to healthy activity. Hair
shampooed with canthrox Is always
soft, fluffy, lustrous and of a rich, even
color.
Women having envious complexions
invariably use just a plain spurmax lo
tion, which is a great natural beautl
fler. This Is made by dissolving 4
ounces spurmax in ' pint witch hazel
or hot water, to which has been added
2 teaspoonfuls glycerine. The lotion
dries quickly and cannot be detected
when on, and Klves to the finest com-
lexion an added charm and elegance.
is especially good to clear the skin
of pimples, blackheads, blotches, sul
lownesH, oillniss and other complexion
defects nnj to prelect it from luirsh or
rnlrl tvfnrls.

SO. PORTLAND GROCER
UNKNOWINGLY ROBS SELF
'
So properous had Frances Ro-
chelle come to be through the
operation of a small grocery
Btore in South Portland that he
decided It would bfi good policy
to enlarge It by additional stock, p
Including dry goods, kitchen 4
utensils and hardware. In short, 4,
he made his place into a mlnla- 4
ture department store.
Apparently his business Judg- 1 4
merit was sound, because his,
trade constantly Increased. A I-
though Rochelle was a good 4
tradesman he was a poor book- 4
keeper. At the end of the year 4
his business records were badly 4
Jumbled. About the only thing 4
he could discover was that he 4
had been losing Instead of mak- 4
ing money. 4
Rochelle was badly worried 4
when ho accidentally saw the 4
words "Public Accountant" In 4
The Journal's classified want ad 4
columns. He read on and found A
that there were men expressly
trained to untangle books such
as his, ana put them into systematic-
shape, something he
hadn't known.
The public accountant whom
Rochelle selected soon straight
ened out the merchant's books
?lid showed him that he had
been losing money because he
gave too much space to goods
that found poor sales. Rochelle'
then bought a loose leaf ledger,
which was advertised in Tho
Journal under the head of
"Clank Books," and thereafter
watched hia figures. His busi
ness today Is prospering. A
want ad, ho says, saved him
from bankruptcy.
