When his father, Henry A- Mock, cbose a donation claim oq ctha peninsula, John wu a farmer's bov and the training he received and the privations he endured made a sym- " pathetic, philanthropic, progressive public spirited citizen of him In after ,Ufa. The peninsula was a wilderness then and there was no road for the trans portation of farm products to Portland. Wild same waa the only meat for the first year. Son of German Parents. John Mock was born In Siechanlcs Yille, Pa., on October 4, 18311, and his father and mother were both born lu Germany, his father In 1792, and were hardy, industrious people, willing to endure for the sake of bettering the condition of their ohildren and to en joy the liberty of America. In 1844 , Henry Mock and his family migrated further west to Platte county, Mls - SOuri. With all his stock and househld be longings the sturdy German pioneer struck out In 1852 through the un t racked wilderness for the Oregon country, where a generous government offered every man with a family 640 acres of land. Young John Mock had placed upon his shoulders the respon sibilities of a man, and through the months of hardship, privation and dan ger became the grave and earnest 'young man that the pioneers of Oregon -produced. Gave Land to School. His early education was not con- .Uniious nor extensive, but in after years "he was able to Improve himself, and it was the appreciation of the value and need of education that in Iduced him when in middle age to do jnata the present holdings of the Co lumbia university where It now stands. 4 John Mock and Miss Mary M. Sun tderland, a daughter of Benjamin and SEllzabeth Sunderland, a pioneer family, were united in marriage on August 4, 1874. His widow survives him, with (four children, John n. and Margaret Alice Mock, Mrs. J. B. Yeon and Mrs. jWtlllam F. Amos. It is related that when a small boy fin Missouri John Mock learned to swim iln spite of the admonitions of his father. Whtn crossing the Platte rlver on their slow way to Oregon John was swept down stream and would thava drowned had he not been able to strike out lustily for the shore, f Look Quelled Panther. ' On the peninsula one night young John Mock came face to face with a panther and escaped injury; the .fierce anlntal retreating while the boy .'looked into its lurid eyes. It waa tracked and killed and proved to be of unusual size. JcVhn Mock was a member of Wash ington lodge No. 48, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, and had attained the thirty-second degree In the Scottish rite. 'He was a member of the Mystic Shrin ers and of the grange. When the peninsula wanted any pub lic advantage John Mock always game forward with whatever help and influ ence he could give. It waa due largely to his efforts that streetcar transpor tation was extended there years before . It otherwise would have been. He served on the city council about 16 years ago. from the then eleventh Ward, and was always a quiet, observ ant and accommodating public servant John Mock.

Sacramento, Cal.. Aug. 19. A re markable new system of education to day Is In effect In San Quentln prison, one of California's two grim reforma tories for offenders of all classes. More than half the 343S prisoners, through the medium of the convicts' school, are given the same advantages, so far as education Is concerned, aa busy men and women outside the for bidding wallla Edward Hyatt, state superintendent of education, recently visited the prison school and, to use his own words, he "had his eyes opened." He gave his impression of the convict bchool to the United Press today. "The forbidding gray walls of San Quentln, rising from marshes of Marin county, might not be expected to har bor anything of educational Interest. Yet here I found the most original, forward looking and encouraging re formatory education of all. "Warden Johnston Is the impelling power. He is a man of vision, of dreams, of executive ability and driv ing power. He is a frail, slender little man. He used to run a haberdasher's shop. Sti All Eight Grades. "When the gloomy gates opened the captain of the guard conducted me to one of the buildings of th great Quadrangle that he called the chapel. Inside was a huge, bare room. One end was filled with the stacks of a large library of well worn books. The floor was covered with long desks. Blackboards and charts hung from the pillars. Six convict teachers were at work, with Mr. Purdue, a convict prin cipal, In charge. Over him, In general charge of the educational activity, is the chaplain of the prison. There are, therefore, no outside professional teachers on the work at all. '"This large room has all eight grades running simultaneously. It is for the prisoners under 24. The larg est class was In the first grade About 160 men are in this school. "In another of the big buildings was a night school, where the older men who choose may get the ele mentary things of education after their day's work, as th younger ones do in the day school after a shorter day's work. Borne 80 prisoners attend night school. v "Now comes the blc thing, the thing that Warden Johnston really regards as his significant and origi nal undertaking. He calls it the let ter box system. The day school teach ers prepare lessons in leaflet form, in all the branches of the upper gram mar and lower high school gradea These ar turned out in quantity, beautifully printed, by the prison printing press. , All Who Want Are Taught. All prisoners who will are given these lessons regularly and encour aged to work them out in their cells after the day's work is done. Twice a week teachers take up the papers from the letter boxes, grade them and give necessary explanations and en couragement. Eight hundred and fifty men are enrolled In this work. Of course no one can take it unless he is at least past the fourth grade, but the day and evening schools carry them up to that point. In fact, these may be considered as feeders for the big Letter Box school. "For those further along there Is an organization of the university cor respondence school. Tho librarian gets the desired lessons from Berke ley, Issues them to the men who call for them, takes up the answers and papers as prepared by the men in their cells, delivers the gradings and sug gestions with the corrected papers and keeps a card index record of the whole proceeding. I looked this over with much Interest. The variety and extent of it was remarkable. A very great many of the prisoners have tuken courses in Spanish. Not the Spanish or Mexican prisoners, but the Americans of the higher class, who had taken it up to add to their gen eral equipment, elievinr; it was im portant to the future. Many Coarse s Taught. "I was surprised to see that a large number had taken a course in flower culture. Other courses were as wide as the world salesmanship, banking, gardening, dietetics, mathematics, bookkeeping, zoology, engineering. No less than 250 prisoners wir taking work in this university school, send ing In their papers and receiving back the corrections and the suggestions of the university professors, those who have the various subjects In charge. "Thus more than half the entire prison population there were 2433 at roll call the morning, I was there are touched more or less by this edu cational enterprise. It is a great boon for these men who have something to occupy their minds during the soli tary hours when they are locked In their cells. It gives them hope It prepares them better for returning to Bociety; it prevents the ferments and plots and revenges that would other wise occupy their thoughts. Certainly the half of the convicts who take, this mental work will need less of armed ! guards walking their beats, and cer-1 tainly fewer of them will return to ! prison again 20 per cent of the j wnuie population, remember, are 're peaters.' " The Woman's National Traimr; camp will open at the Vancouver Bar rack on August 34, continuing until September 1, inclusive. Under the supervision of Corporal John H. Thomas, detailed by General Bell, major general commanding the western department of the United States army, recruits are beln enlisted at an office at S47 Washington street.
