ReedTCollege.
Heed college opens tomorrow for its
sixth yeap with an enrollment of what
Is expected to be a record-breaking
freshman class, both in numbers and
'achievements. More than 90 new stu
dents have been admitted and nearly
all of these are beginning their college
careers. A large number of them have
won honors for scholarship during
their high school work.
Besides those of last year s students
who graduated, a few others will not
be on hand thts year as they have gone
to other institutions, principally for
the purpose of specializing in some
tudy not offered at Reed. Of the
old students probably 41 will enroll a
enlors. The number of students to
return as members of the sophomore
and Junior classes Is uncertain and
the college office refuses to give out
ny figures as to the enrollment. A
rough eatlthate for the two middle
classes for this" year, however, would
be 80 for the sophomore class and 60
for the Junior class. The total enroll
ment will then be abotit 270.
Dr. George Herbert Palmer oT Har
vard university will teach at Rood col
lege trt- the second semester of the next

Evidence of a slowly - developing
realization of the necessity of art aa
an element in education appears In the
recent gift of J. D. Kennedy of Port
land to the Kennedy public school.
The gift consists of a group of bas
reliefs now being exhibited at the
Fortland Art Museum, which are re
productions of the famous panels exe
cuted by Luca Delia Bobbia for the
"singing gallery" of the great cathe
dral In Florence.
Tha history of the originals forms
one of the romances which the annals
of art yield to the appreciative. Five
hundred years ago a small Florentine
boy was born possessed with the pas
sion for modeling in clay or mud or
whatever came to his hand. He was
pcor and half clothed most of the time,
and Hi the winter he would often be

will be: Josephine M. Saunders, Ash
land; Krma R. Wills, Portland, and
Helen Phillips, Salem, all of whom are
major students in the department and
planning to teach physical education
after graduation from college. Miss
Clara Eliot, who has been appointed as
sistant In sociology, will be a senior.
Tha assistants In the administrative
offices Stewart Oloyd, Portland; Glenn
Kleinau, Buxton, and Edith McDonald
have been at work for the college dur
ing the summer in preparation for the
opening of the new year.
The four assistants In the depart
ment of biology Mrs. Carra E.
Horsfall, Portland; Ruth E. Leonard.
Portland; Elmer Carlson, Portland, and

Lemberg, Austria, will be assistant In
German, succeeding Dr. Annina Periam
Danton.
Frances A. Greenbruigj, of Beaverton,
who has had charge of the upper di
vision of the elementary school for
the past two years and who taught
formerly In the Ladd school of Port
land, has been reappointed assistant in
education. Edmond S. Turner, of Port

University of Washington.
On Wednesday, Miss Glyde Tucker
and Miss Mildred Dodge left for Seat

versity of Washington. Miss Tucker
made quite a record in athletics for
herself at the university last fall. Both
girls were graduated from Washington
In the February, '15, class.

Psalms Are Illustrated.
So began the work of Luca Delia
Kobbla, who, some 30 years later, was
Jointly, with his brother-sculptor,
Donnatello, given the commission for
carving the choir gallery of the great
cathedral. He chose to make his gal
lery illustrative cf the 91st psalm,
where the faithful are commanded to
praise the Lord "upon an instrument
of ten strings, and upon the psaltery,"
and divided his space int eight panels
with a narrower one at either end.
Reproductions of four of the panels

first,. "Boys Singing From 8croll," Is a

Home Beautiful
Woman's Work
Leonide Lavaron
"It has been said that the perfec
tion of art is the concealment of art,"
and this axiom Is exemplified in the
metal work and handwrought Jewelry
made and designed both by Leonide
Lavaron. one of America's foremost
Industrial workers. Though Miss La
varon is of French descent, she has
spent most of her time in Chicago,
where she has her studio and sales
room. There she Is busy all day long
making designs and carrying them
cut in varied metals, as ornaments
to grace beautiful homes throughout
the country.
The handwrought chandeliers and
side brackets are more than mere
things of loveliness; they take cogni
zance of all important principles in
lighting, laying special emphasis on
the principle of indirect lighting,
brought into use by means of lattice
work, by lampshades made of silk,
glass and beautiful shells.
Aid to laterlor Decorator.
The material used to soften the
light depends upon the natural light
ing of the room, as well as on the
colors used In -the furnishing. The
brackets, lamps and candlesticks used
In the room are all designed with
these same principles in view.
Miss Lavaron aids the Interior dec
orator In designing and making large
brass and copper bowls for flowers
and plants, as well as handmade sil
ver vases and urns used to hold fruits
and flowers. Her work is also popu
lar in libraries, where it Is fashioned
into beautiful desk sets made of
silver and copper dipped into different
acids. The material used again de
pends on the color scheme and fur
nishing of the room.
The plain flat silver, which she
makes for dining room service, is as
simple as it Is beautiful. It is hand
wrought, and. thouah done in the
English style, It is by no means a
cheap imitation. She has no special
preference for materials, as she says:
"I design and manufacture lamps,
candlesticks and bowls, the materials
used depending on the general decora
tive scheme. Much of this work Is
done In conjunction with the archi
tect's and designer's plans.''
On Graining Experience.
To JTurther this idea of design and
color she superintends the making of
block prints and beautiful needle
work to blend and to harmonize with
the general design of the room. The
surprising part of all this lies in tha
tact that Miss Lavaron has accom
plished all this with little training.
She Inherited a love of art from her
parents and then started to give her
self a thorough training in design and

Considered as an artistic whole, the
composition of the gallery i& ad
mirable, the figures of the trumpeter
on the left of the second panel and
the piping drummer on the right of
the third giving the necessary effect
of balance. Nine years Luca Delia
Bobbia labored on the panels before
they could be erected. In 1688 the
gallery was removed' to make way for
a Medici product of painted wood, and
only In 1883 was It re-discovered and
placed In the cathedral museum.
Included also In the exhibit are two
reproductions of Delia Robbies fa

beautiful sculpturing of childhood In

to begin, as 1 had more Ideas than
money, so I commenced at that end.
Naturally my work was crude at first,
but then I had the best designs and
art of all countries to relp me out.
My first work was the fashioning of

and rings were easily made. But as
soon as I developed skill in handling
my tools and working In the metals
I branched out into fashioning silver

TRAINING THE BABY
By Mrs. Mary Barnsfather.
A young married woman, who has
been visited by a stork says "My
baby makes me one of the proudest
women In the world."
When asked by a friend If she was
going to nurse her Infant, she an
swered, "I guess I am; no bottle for
my baby. I am golnlg to give my baby
a right start In life. I'm golnlg to be
her nurse, at least for the first two
years." So before her trained nurse
left she learned all the do's and dont's
sh could possibly learn In a short
time.
Every morning before having her
breakfast she gives the baby her bath.
She has learned one bath a day is
quite enough for the child, and that
should be given In the rooming. A
certain amount of oil is needed to
nourish the skin, and over-bathing
checks that formation. The water
should be about 100 degrees Fahren
heit, and that of succeeding ones be
lowered gradually; at the age of 6
months the water is 90 degrees to 95
degrees Fahrenheit for winter, or at
8b degrees to 90 degrees Fahrenheit
for summer. Decidedly cool baths
should not be given before the age of
4 or 6 years old, although by two
years a cool sponging may follow Im
mediately the warmer bath, providing
the bracing effect is produced which
may reasonably be expected. What
ever the temperature of the bath. It
Is Important that the head and the
face be wet before the rest of the
body.
She was, told that in bathing an In
fant enough water should be used to
cover the baby to the neck, when sup
ported in a semi-reclining position.
As it grows older and learns to sit up
right the water need not reach the
armpits. The duration of the immer
sion should at first be one or two min
utes, and later about five minutes. One
bath should be given every day, but
in hot weather when the child is de
pressed by the heat it cam have one
sponge bath during the day and an
other at night.
If you take care of your own baby,
as did that happy mother, be sure you
have everything near you that you
will require before undressing the
child the baby basket, clean clothes,
warm towels, powder and needleready
to sew the binder.
Inexperienced mothers sometimes
make the mistake of letting their
babies take cold while hunting their
belongings. The work of baby is sim
plified by wearing a bath apron. Never
wash your child with a hard sponge,
and use castlle or some equally sott
eoap.
You, like the mother in question,
may be afraid baby will slip out of
your hands. Hold the child on your
left arm and support it with your arm
while you bathe it. Do everything as
quickly as possible; use a big warm
Turkish towel for drying, patting and
lightly rubbing the little limbs to
strengthen them. After baby has been
dried and powdered put on a woolen
vest and knitted boot a Do not make
the mistake of letting baby bo bare
foot except when lying in a crib or
bassinet. It may mean earache or
colic for your little one.
m
It Is a mistake to feed baby right
after bathing; be rure to let one
half hour elapse between bathing mi
feeding time. For many years the
modern teaching has been not to
Joggle the baby, but to put it in the
crib and let it sleep. If you find that
your baby objects to this treatment,
do not put it down at once as a case
Of peevishness and feel that your
child is spoiled 'and is crying because
it wants to be picked upland carried
up and down tha floor. It may be
that baby's Stomach dilates largely
with gas immediately af;er feeding.
As soon as the child is held! erect and
patted gently on the back it gives up
the gas and is quiet. ,
In the morning and again in the
afternoon, when the weather permits,
let baby sleep on the porch or in the
back yard. Remember that over
heated rooms help to weaken an in
fant's power of resistance against
disease. Like the mother I have de
scribed to you. use the time while
baby is sleeping for looking after the
flowers in , the garden, for sewing,
reading, and doing many other things
you would like to do but cannot "when
baby la awake. . -
process which Delia Robbla discovered.
The secret died with his nephew and
has since been only feebly imitated.
First Important A.rt Gift.
The casta were made by Capronl of
Eostorr and selected by the advisory
art committee appointed by the school
board. This committee, of which Mrs.
J. C. Elliott King Is chairman, feels
that th presentation of the collection
is particularly significant In that It is
th first ImDortart elft of art from a
fcitisen to the public schools of Port
land and will. It Is hoped, form a
nucleus for further gifts.
The casts are in charge of Miss Dun
lap, school docent. and will be on ex
hibition in the art museum throughout
September. They will then be placed
in the entrance hall of the Kennedy
school, an attractive building of the
cottage type of architecture. Just
erected In the, northeastern part of the
city.
Child Lab or in
the Cotton Mills
By Woods Hutchinson, Af . D.
From the beginning the cotton mills
In the South have- been frankly and un
dlsguisedly after and dependent upon
child labor, and have made no secret
of their Intention to utilize it to the
utmost extent which the law and the
limits of physical endurance of their
little "bound" laborers would permit.
They have little or no appeal to the
children, but directly to the parents of
a certain type. Their children for the
most part were hired, not as Individ
uals, but as families, by bargain with
the father, to whom not infrequently
the wages of the whole group were
paid over at the end of the week or
fortnight.
Not infrequently in going through
the mills, of which I have visited about
thirty in the course of a study of hook
worm disease, one would come across
some wretched, old, tobacco-dribbled
greasy-trousered, slack-jawed tramp of
a man who was sweeping the floors, or
cleaning up in the engine room, or trap
tying the waste baskets. On asking
what such an old derelict aa that was
doing in a modern factory. It would be
discovered, after some questioning,
that he was the father of four or five
pr six child-workers, who had to be
given some sort of a Job to put him
on the payroll and keep him from get
ting discontented and taking his
"gang" to another factory on the
chance of higher wages.
Recruits Are Sought.
Not only so, but the mills sent out
regular recruiting agents into the re
motest regions of the sand barrens and
the farthest valleys and coves of the
mountains, to drum up new groups of

Citizenship Wort
to Be Continued
By Federal Bureau.
Washinarton. Sept. . The nation
wide campaign of cltlsenship pre
paredness which the public schools
all over the country inaugurated last
year in cooperation with the bureau
of naturalization is being carried for
ward with renewed energy and activity
by . these governmental agencies.
The - public schools throughout the
country, in larger . number than last
year, are now in cooperation with the
bureau of naturalisation, and have as
sured greater conveniences and bet
ter advantages and opportunities for
uiv Avictgii invito wjiu uosu co iu o-
come an American cltixen. The ef
forts of the bureau are being directed
primarily to the public schools in ap
proximately SS0 cities and towns in
44 states of the Union, whose excel
lent cooperation with the bureau last
year developed this new feature in
educational activities.
It is also vigorously supporting tha
movement being inaugurated- in nearly
150 other cities and towns which have
already signified their intention of
participating In this cooperative work.
Promises on the part of the public
school authorities have been received
in such' Increasing numbers that the
work of citizenship preparedness will
be extended to every state of the Union
with the opening of the new school
year.
Textbook on CUtssasfaip.
The bureau of naturalization is now
preparing a textbook for the instruc
tion of candidate's for cltlsenship and
adult aliens generally, based on ma
terial supplied by teachers who have
been engaged In the education ot for
eigners. This embraces Instruction in
English, civics and allied ' subjects.
It is expected to have these textbooks
In the hands of tha teacher durln?
the coming term of the public nlghtJ
schools. Copies of "An Outline Course
In Citizenship" and "Syllabus of the
Naturalization Law," both prepared by
the bureau of naturalization as aids'
to teachers in explaining and answer-!
ing questions on naturalisation and:
citizenship, will also be universally
distributed.
Inquiries From Afar.
Calls for aid and advice are oom
ing from all parts of the country, in
cluding Alaska and Hawaii, regarding
this educational movement, and are
receiving the bureau's prompt atten
tion. :
The bureau is also carrying on a
country-wide correspondence witn
chambers of commerce, boards of
trade and other business and philan
thropic organizations, - corporations
and other large employers of alien la
bor, to which, In response to inquiries.
Its educational plan is fully explained.
In addition to this, personal visits
and talks are being made by the ex
aminers of the naturalization service
before public bodies, gatherings of
foreigners, school officials and oth
ers in all parts of the country, and,
as the year progresses, the night
school classes will likewise be visited.
In a word, every public school, wher
ever located. If engaged Jn alien in
struction, will be fully equipped by
the bureau ot naturalization for this
great and constructive naturalization
work.
child-workers. In the course of a long
horse back trip through the mountains
of Georgia and the Carollnas we took
occasion to Inquire what sort of fam
ilies responded to the lure of the mill
a&cnts, and fottnd, almost without ex
ception, the same type reported every
where the shiftless, detrimental ne'er-do-well,
whose sole possessions were a
shack, rifle, a few cooking utensils, a
dozen or fifteen dogs, and six to twelve
children.
So that, considered as makers of citi
zens and molders of future generations,
the mills were anything but promoters
of sweetness and light, or desirable cit
izens from the point of view of the
whole community. Nevertheless, they
paid so well, they brought such quan
tities of capital Into the country and
distributed in the form of wages so
widely throughout the community that
all classes of trade and tradespeople
flourished thereby, so that the general
business Interests and political forces
jf the states, as represented at least
n their legislatures and in congress,
fought tooth and toenail for the con
tliiuatlon of their peculiar labor meth
ods, and vehemently opposed any at
tempts to pass any child-labor laws of
any sort, no matter how mild and
harmless.
In spite, however, of 'the frank de
termination of the mills to employ the
youngest children they could possibly
make use of, and as many of- them as
they could get, and of the subservient
willingness of the state legislatures
and business Interests to give them
whatever kind of laws they wanted for
the purpose, the logic of events has
worked its Irresistible way with the
problem In a very curious manner.
Although In the beginning children of
the mature age of ten were graciously
granted the formal and legal privilege
of working on their feet for eleven
hours a day and no restriction as to
night, that Siberian standard has slow
ly but surely risen until the age at
which children are first permitted to
sell eleven or more hours of their la
bor out of the twenty-four the Indus
trial age of consent has been raised

Not only so, but the mills, although
they have grown and Increased both in
size and numbers at a tremendous
rate, instead of using child labor more
and more exclusively, are employing a
larger and larger percentage of adult
workers, both male and female, all the
time and particularly in recent years.
This has been due partly to an awaken
ing public conscience expressing Itself
through laws or attempts at laws, but
more to the unexpected discovery on
the part of "the mill owners that child
lnbor doesn't pay as compared with boy
and girl labor and still more so with
adult. It is really most curious to
watch hov, having been driven in the
beginning from one form of cheap la-

pushed up an ascending plane of effi
ciency and decency to a dawning recog

as the moet remunerative form of all.
The mills can get a fair supply of
this adult white labor now, although
they couldn't in the beginning, partly

of the children who were employed in
the mills in the beginning have now
grown up into adult workers, and re

manual labor for a private employer is
degrading, permits any free born citi

known as "public works" without loss
of social prestige or damage to his
personal self-respect and standing.
This term "public works" was origin

Columbus, Ohio, SepV I, (U. P.) :
Boys at the Ohio Institution for tha ,
Blind are, to learn to swim and the -
girls are to take up roller skating, "
Both these nastlmes are new additions1
to the variety of outdoor sporta at the ;
school. ,
An outdoor swimming pool 15 by TJ -feet,
ranging in depth from two and
one half to seven feet, Is being con
structed. A rectangular roller rink for '
the girls, also under construction, will
serve two purposes. In addition to
skating facilities, it encloses a play
area, B0 by 100 feet, free from all oo- -t .
structions.
New Hat Decoration.
Another step has been taken in the ,
advance of millinery. The first step ; :
in this decoration was taken when -bird
lovers said: "Thou shalt pot :
kill the birds to get fin plumage."
New plantlike animals are to ba used ;
In place of flowers and ribbons. It the
fishery bureau at Washington has
anything- to eay. By mere accident: '
it came across an Immense quantity
of this millinery supply. For several
years past the big wholesale millinery
houses have been making a study of
the Jelly fish plant in our waters,: The .
stuff has been found in immense beds '
all along the Atlantic coast from .
Maine to Florida. It Is everywhere
superior to the article the big whcle
eale milliners have been importing
from Germany a sort of green stuff
commonly called "sea weed." Recent '
studies made by the fisheries bureau
show that other species of "Jelly fish" ,
plants can be used for the same pur
pose. '
Most beautiful of all is the "ostrich
plume," delicate and elegant, which
is found on the Paclflo coast. Jt Is
wonderfully like an ostrich plume in
miniature. The so-called "sea moss"
of Germany , has tfcen utilised largely
for this purpose, but it is also sold to
decorate hanging baskets.
