H. Miller, candidate for sc'iool di rector, yesterday discussed in a broad wgy his Ideas of what the schools should be. lie said that cultural train. . In ir. must by no means be overlooked, bet. that the pupil's mind must also be fiiracted to the hard facta of existence, : how life Is to be sustained, and how his part In the economic schema must be borne. f ine omce or scnooi oirecior is a j position lor which, from ray point of . view; there should be no personal seek ' inc." said Mr. Miller, In expressing his f views; "and certainly no special Inter ests Involved. The problems of adjust - Ing tha school work of our times to the chanting conditions and life of the people of the state are many and varied. .Any man elected to this posi tion certainly must feel a great burden of obligation. m should realize that the work ha has to do is in no sense a personal matter, but Involves the In terests of all classes. - "It Is necessary that he should study with such deliberation and careful ob servation, the best methods of school work, not only In our own country, but In all countries, and, so far as possible. endeavor to apply the best principles of educational work to the conditions existing here In the city of Portland and the state of Oregon as a whole. - Training of Hand Important. "While the position of school direc tor should not be one of self-seeking, yet it Is only fair and proper that the general views of a candidate should be wall understood by the voters. I am frank to say, therefore, that tlie lead ing Ideas which 1 have concerning school work in this city are, first, th line of training of the youth in tie habits and understanding of culture. courtesy and Industry. The cultiva tion of memory alone Is a distinctly one-sided method of education. The cultivation of the powers of observa tion, the knowledge and understanding of things and their relation to life, to gether with some .training in the line of making and doing things, is quits essential. "The training of the hand to Indus try )a Just as important as the train ing of the mind to think. In fact, tje " best thinking in modern life Is in- ; spired by the training of mind and hand together. It la of primary Im portance that the youth of our state should know Its resources. Its Indus tries and Its possibilities. j "While t have no prejudice against the cultural life in fact, I think it one of the charms and blessings of 4a V , lS-- Ut - i 31 ft ! s- ' : & J s 1 II I "T?V ft - 4?; II If I iiV'A liYTirr innnuiTiiriiTA J FOR ANNUAL REGATTA WILL BE MADE SOON t , , , ... .

ROS Baraca-Philathea Convention. Waco, Texas, June 6. Opening with a big welcome demonstration tonight, the eighteenth annual world wide con vention of the Baraea-Phtlatheas, an organization of Bible , students and other religious worker's, will hold forth in this city during the ensuing five days. Hundreds of delegates have arrived in Waco to participate in the proceedings. , To George Otten of 295 East 15th street N., a landscape architect, be longs the honor of originating the idea of holding tba Portland Rose Festival, which within eight years haa come to be looked upon as tha big event of the year and an institution of the city. While Mr. Otten was tha first to broach it. tha Portland Lodge of Elks can boast the distinction of putting the Idea in concrete shape as it was through the efforts of the lodge, back lug Otten. that the first fiesta was held In 1907, and wa received with such enthusiasm that It became an annual event. - "The first festival was nowhere near as large as the ones we enjoy now," said. Mr. Otten in speaking of the first celebration. "Tha various fraternal organizations and a number of merchants gave a few dollars about $4000 In all and with this small sum we staged the show, parade and all. At the same time tha usual Rose show was held In the Forestry building on the fair grounds. Idea Gain ad rrom Europe. "I got the idea from the old practice in Europe of holding flower fiestas. One day in the Elks club I took. It up with the lodge and the first thing I knew preparations were under way for a meeting of various lodges, which was finally held and at which William Sibson, then president of the Rose. As sociation, presided as chairman pro tern. "E. W. Rowe, who later was elected president of -the Festival, represented the lodge and at the meeting we de veloped the idea that a rose festival would advertise to tne world that our ollmatio conditions were right, be cause where roses grow luxuriantly, agriculture will flourish. At this meeting some opposition de veloped because several present did not like the Idea of using beautiful blooms to decorate floats. This kind of a patter got what was coming and due to it and with an almost unani mous vote we decided to bold the first rose festival. Funds Are Collected. We had scarcely two months to prepare, and within that time we col lected funds, and arranged everything. Lodges and business organizations and merchants got up their own floats, and did most of their own decorating. "The rest is history. The festival was a success, an overwhelming trt umph. People awoke to the importance of the rose as a basis for community advertising and from that small be ginning the big festival we now hold grew. We never suspected that they would reach such magnitude but I'm mighty glad they have and only hope the festival will remain a permanent proposition."

Chile was under the control- of a three-headed Junta In 1S91 and since that date the country has been peaceful and prosperous. The chief difference between the Junta proponed at Niagara Vails and Chile's comisi'lon was In mode ol ap pointment.
