ganize tho market section for pupils'
.garden products. , The different school

any considerable quantity of vegeta
bles will need a market. It was de
cided to attempt to aid the pupils in
30 districts, each district to have a
representative from the local Parent
Teacher circle to look after the work
In that district. Every aid and en
couragement will be given to have the
Children market as much produce as
possible locally. In their own district.
For the beenfit of those districts need
ing another outlet. It is planned to
open a school pupils' section In the
Yamhill street public market, on Wed
nesday June 24, provided sufficient
rpaca is made available by the erec
tion of more booths. The committee
waited upon Commissioner R. O.
Dieck, asking that more booths, be
erected. They were asked to file a pe
tition with the council, which has been
done The section will be In charge
of W. II. Dunham, assistant super
visor of school gardens, until July 1;
after that date it will be necessary for
some one person from the Parent

Mrs. Robert H. Tate, president of
' the Oregon Child Welfare commission,
will speak on "The Care and Educa
tion ef Our Deaf, Delinquent and De
fective Children," Wednesday at 2 p.
m., at the First Presbyterian church.
The problems of dealing with,. these
' children In Oregon axe-not as great as
elsewhere, but those who have spent
many years in more thickly populated
' states urge looking toward legislation
that will decrease the number of un
fortunates. The outline of Mrs. Tate's
-lecture will be suggestions for con
serving the largest per cent of these
children for future citizenship and
means of prevention.

Youth Learned to
' Walk Like Monkey
Xad Used Hands and Feet to Propel
Himself j How Being Taught Proper
Way.
Birmingham, Ala., June 20. Tom
Armstrong never knew, till be . was
brought to the juvenile court that the
proper way to walk war upright. When
Tom was a younger boy, and even now.
it seemed natural to him to walk on
bis hands and feet. His arms are ab
normally long, and with his body in a
horizontal position he can place his
palms flat on the ground. '
So that was the way Tom walked
for several years. His home is at
Bangor. In Blount county. Tom's
mother died when he was young.
His father remarried, but he, too, died
recently.- Tom waa thrown on the
eommunity for proper care.
Proper care be never did have. His
development has been slow, mentally,
and he was not understood. So, when
Tom was left to shift for himself.
handicapped ' in a most unusual way.
the people of Bangor sent him to Bir
mingham for the Associated Charities
to care for. The Associated Charities
turned him over to the Juvenile court.
Tom is now under the care of Dr.
B. P. Rlggs, and. the doctor believes
that in about six months Tom will be
able, to walk as men do. He Is devel
oping mentally, too. Dr.. Rlggs says
Tom's ease is unique, and. so far as be
knows, without a parallel In medical
annals. The possibility that Tom's
handicaps are a reversion to type have
been considered most seriously. Doc
tors are watching Tom with excep
tional interest, and It is believed val
uable anthropological and medical In
formation will result from his treat
ment.

Official PunisHer
Latest Suggestion
function Would Be to Apply "SooaOy
external Bemedy" for Bluffing and
Misdemeanors.
Chicago, June 20. Appointment of
an "official punlsher" for every school
Is advocated by Professor "Allen Hoban
of the university of Chicago. The
function of the punisher would be to
apply, locally an external remedy, for
a disposition toward bluffing and other
misdemeanors. '
"I do not believe that the practice of
corporal punishment should be re
stored indiscriminately," said Profes
sor Hoban. "But In each school there
is at least one person who would be
fitted to apply locally an external and
efficient remedy.
"Under the present system pupils
are able to bluff the teachers, not only
In the matter of their lessons, but in
misdemeanors as well. They are more
likely to be punished for being late,
which will be a blot on the attendance
record, than for stealing a jackknife
or a pencil. If they are sent to the
principal of the school and suspended,
It only means a more than welcome
vacation."
Referring to the matter of secret so
cieties Professor Hoban advocated that
the children be allowed to organise, as
it taught them the secrets of efficient
organization the foundation -of busi
ness success and led to debate, which
strengthened their powers of persua
sion. Remedy Condition
Of Child Laborers
Hew Tork Authorities Ton Their At
tention, to Employes la - Artificial
Sflower Zndustry.
New Tork, June iff. Immediate ac
tion to remedy conditions among child
workers In the artificial flower Indus
try In this city. In which it Is charged
there, are many violations of the child
labor law, is urged in a report by the
Sage foundation.
Miss Mary Van Kleeck, a special In
vestigator of the Sage foundation and
author of the report, declares that "the
mere mention of the artificial flower
trad recalls tbe picture of 3-year-old
tollers picking apart the petals to be
pasted together In the shape of a violet
or a rose." ; .

The agricultural fairs, which are
responsible for raising; the standard of
farm life and for. standardizing stock,
grain and farm products in genef al,
have taken up a new line of work.
They are improving a farm rroduot
that has been, in a way, sadly neglect
ed, the farm baby. Incidentally, they
are giving the town and city baby a
helping hand, and they are doing it all
through what Is 1 known as a Better
Babies contest.
If you have not heard of the con
test about to be held In connection
with your state fair, read about It now.
The babies are entered like any other
exniDit at an agricultural fair, but
with this difference, they are not on
exnimuon all the time. They are. ex
amined by Judges. Just as livestock,
grain or apples are ! examined. The
Judges are physicians, and they test
the baby by standards which have
been set by specialists In the care and
feeding of children, who know Just
bow much a baby should weigh and
measure and what Its general devel
opment should be at a given age.
Many readers of this paper can look
back to the day when the fair started
to standardise farm products. The
farmers who thought) they were rais
ing pretty good livestock and mighty
fine grain, entered them in competi
tion with what other farmers were
raising. Sometimes they learned that
they were raising prize winning prod
ucts; again they found that their farm
products were far below the standard
set by the Judges. And what did they
do these men who took second, third
and last prizes : They went back to
their farms, took better care of their
livestock, raised better grain the next
year, and they have been doing that
ever since. The result has been a high
er grade of livestock in their barns.
higher grade of product In their
fields, and all because the county or
state fair set the standards.
Now that is Just what the fair offi
cials are doing when they offer prizes
for- better babies in the Better Babies
contests. They are setting a standard
for baby health and baby strength and
baby development. They are notifying
parents to bring along the babies from
the farm, town and city, for compart
son with these standards. They are
giving prizes to the babies pronounced
best by the judges and, bst of all,
when the babies do not come up to
the standard and do not win prises,
the Judges are telling the parents why,
and bow the baby can be made better
for another year's fair, and for all Its
life. The result is bound to be, not
prettier babies, but better babies at
each year's fair a stronger, healthier
race of people on. the farms, In small
towns and In the cities.
The Better Babies contest at the
state fair this fall will be an elimina
tion contest, the entries being con
fined to children who have been prize
winners atlocal contests. In this way
we hope to get the very best the state
produces and the; grand champion boy
and girl will be prophetic of the fu
ture; the exponent of the future man
and woman.

The department of; social service in
publlo insltutlons of the Episcopal So
cial Service league, is doing in a quiet
way, a particularly fine work among
the women and girls In the city and
county jails.
Three months ago the women began
trying to make their way Into the
hearts and lives of: the unfortunate
women confined in both the city and
county Institutions ; and they have
succeeded to such an extent that their
coming Is now eagerly awaited .by
many of the Inmates.
The women - have at all times had
the assistance and; cooperation of
Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin of the Municipal
Department of Safety for Women
and of Mrs. Rogers, matron of tbe
county Jail. Up to comparatively a
short time ago - absolutely no em
ployment was provided for the women;
through Mrs. Baldwin's influence an
ordinance was passed permitting the
girls to make the towels, bedding and
other things needed ..In tne jail and
it was shortly after this that the
committee from the league began Its
work. The entering wedge waa an
effort to teach the girls to sew. - At
first some of them ; were sullen and
resentful, but after repeated visits
they began to show an Interest In the
work provided and one girl who owned
to never bavins : had a needle In ber
band before ' except to sew up a bole
In her stocking, baa recently completed
a set of underwear for herself and a
set for a member of tbe committee
who paid her - for ber work.

OR the first time in Its history
Honolulu last ' winter found
Itself confronted with i the
serious problem of lack of
employment." said Miss Emily
Farley of Honolulu, who spent i last
week in Portland. Investigating! Its
social service agencies with a view
to gleaning knowledge which ; she
might use In her work on the Islands.
Continuing, Miss Farley said: "The
Associated Charities was organized in
Honolulu about 14 years ago, but it
has done very little work, first be
cause there was little to do, as the
people coming to the islands from the
states were usually people of means,
while the emigrants were always fur
pished employment and second, be
cause of lack of systematlo organiza
tion and of understanding . of what
problems there were. The work ef the
charities was confined almost wholly
to friendly visiting;
"The past winter, however, brought
us a serious industrial problem. , Our
Immigrants are largely Russians,
Spaniards and Portugese; they are
brought to the islands by the terri
torial board of Immigration and are
scattered over the Islands to work on
the sugar and pineapple plantations.
This year the report became onrrent,
that there was work, to be had In
Honolulu at high prices, and forth
with the laborers left heir work on
the plantations, and came to the .city,
only to find that the reports were
false. They could not return to the
plantations, as their places had been
rilled, and so they turned to the board
of Immigration, which had been re
sponsible for their coming in the first
place, and they In turn came to ! the
Associated Charities.
"In 10 days we had 90 families come
to ue not Just Individuals, but - that
number of families, and sometimes
they were large ones too. Of coarse
we could not allow them to starve,
nor could we pauperise them by giving
them food without asking something
in return, so one of the citizens volun
teered to oversee a gang of workers
In the parks. They worked two or
three hours a day and we fed them.
Others finally found employment on
th Kamehameba school building and
on a pipe line that was being : con
structed; some of the Russians also
did stevedore work. A law has re
cently been passed providing for the
deportation of any laborer brought in
by the territorial board of Immigra
tion who, within three years, becomes
a public charge by reason of perma
nent physical disability.
-it must pe remembered that we
have the most undesirable class of
immigrants, those who are most Igno
rant and poorest; those who have
enough money and enough enterprise
come to San Francisco. It will prob
ably surprise the people In the states
to know that we have no publlo Insti
tutions to care for the poor and un
fortunate, no poor house, orphanages
or institutions of that sort. Up to
this-time they have not been needed.

Practical Instruction In Sewing

vJity ana vwuniy rnsons.
No mention is ever made to the
girls of their past lives, of the crime
with which they are charged, in fact
they are treated as any girls in a sew
lng class would be and If their stories
are ever related they are given out of
their own free wllL Many of them
do tell their stories and ask advice.
Some of the girls have been found
positions. One girl whose husband
had deserted ber and who bas a lit
tle girl 6 years old, is now sewing In
people's homes, supporting herself
and ber little girl, and much of tbe
credit for her reformation shs gives
to the. women who showed an in
terest In her and helped her to' get a
start, one or tne girls met in this
way Is to spend ber vacation with
member of the committee at ber sea
side home. Tbe girls are hungry for
sympathy arid companionship, the wo
men of the committee declare, and
Its mission Is to try to help them by
maxing mem nappy.
Tbe members of the committee usu
ally carry some delicacy to eat and
some flowers with them- on their
weekly visits. They have nothing
but praise for Sheriff Word and Mrs.
Rogers in regard to the conditions and
conduct ef tbe county Jail, which
tbey declare to be excellent In every
respect.
