THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, P ORTLAND, MONDAY, JUNE 41, 1917. PRINCIPAL DRAPER SHATTUCK SCHOO OF LIS SUMMONED BY DEATH Educator Declared One of Nature's Noblemen by His Friends Who Knew Him. PROMINENT EDUCATOR OF PORTLAND IS DEAD BERG RAISES RED CHILDREN ALL MOURN interest la Uplifting1 Condition of Youth vhim Oreat Liberal Hearted Man Fed Breakfastless Little Ones. Addison Rucker Draper, for 21 years a tireless worker In Portland public schools, and for 12 years principal of the Shattuck school, died at his home, 4 42 Weidler Btreet, at 5 o'clock Sunday evening. I'eath came unexpectedly from arterio sclerosis after a short rally on Friday. He had continued his work, though he had been in poor health for more than a year. Mr. Draper was born at Windsor, Mo., December 26, 1864, coming to Port land when 23 years old. He was gradu ated from Drury tollege, Springfield, in his native state, and began his work in Oregon as principal of the high scnoo! at Pendleton, where he soon was ad vanced to city superintendent of schools. He left Pendleton to become principal of the Terwilllger school in Portland, and was soon transferred from there to the Multnomah school. He was principal of the Stephens and the Atkinson schools In turn before coming to be head of Shattuck school. When he first took up his work there classes were conducted in a dirty building that had long since served its time. An energetic body of citi zens soon began working for a new building, and he did all that he could to further the movement which result ed in a modern schoolhouse. Ziosa Keenly Pelt Mrs. J. F. Kelly, president of the Shattuck Parent-Teacher association, and who in her long work with the as sociation was closely in touch with the work of Mr. Draper, feels his loss greatly and cannot speak highly enough of his fine character. During the last five years she has known and worked with him. "No one but God knew what he real- ly did' she said. "I think he has done as much, if not more, than anyone else in Portland toward the upbuilding of the character of the boys and girls of the city. In treating the cases of de linquent children, he would always in vestigate conditions in the homes, talking to the parents. When he found the children were being treated brutal ly, he would try and make matters bet ter for the parents to 4keep them In good humor by seeing that they had food and clothing. "A few years ago I found that every morning he was taking money out of his own pocket to buy breakfasts for several children. He had found that they were restless in their school work and, had discovered the cause to be that they came to school every morning without any breukfast at all or -with very little. W hen I found this out we gave a concert In the Lincoln high school auditorium and raised a fund for this very purpose. Z.t Otnm Take Credit "He deserved a much higher place in life. He was a man who should have been a Judge. Ho knew that he was not in the place where he belonged, but he waa conservative and did not push himself forward, but rather re tired Into the background, doing the work, but letting others take the credit. "He was a great lover of art and he catered to this talent .in the children whom he had under him. It was such work as this that made him an up bullder of the highest type. He was a most liberal man In every way. A nobler man never lived. The friendship that has existed between Professor Draper, myself and the Parent-Teacher association was truly great. "He has left a good name. His home life was Ideal. In our relations there was never an unkind word. The only regret I have was that 1 could not see him last Friday, when he called me and asked me to come. He said then that he was feeling a gjeat deal better and .wanted to talk to me. It was only im portant business matters that kept me away. Cooperation Appreciated "I want the whole world to know that he and all of South Portland ap preciate the wonderful cooperation from The Journal in the development of Its improvements. He often spoke to me of how much he thought of it." Marshall N. Dana of The Journal staff, who was also closely connected with Professor Draper, says of him: "I became acquainted with Professor Draper when the Shattuck school build ing was old and inadequate. He aided importantly in the campaign for a new building and he has organized and con ducted his new school .efficiently. He won the hearts of all the children un der his care. He is the kind of edu cator the city can 111 afford to lose. Despite his absorption in his duties, he was never too busy to help out in matters of civic Importance, such as the Marquam gulch playground cam paign." Professor Draper was ever ready to lend a helping hand, and one of the most sorrowful mourners at the school house this morningjwas a 16-year-old boy whom he had Just helped to get a start and was making good. The children in his school from the littlest to largest are mourning his death and all are anxious to pay him some tribute. Funeral Tuesday Afternoon Froressor Draper was married in 1904 to Miss Flora Leroy and leaves her a widow with one son, Leroy, who is 10 years old. He leaves also two brothers and two sisters in Missouri He belonged to several lodges. Includ ing the Elks, Masons and the Eastern star. He was auditor of the Teach ' ers' Retirement Fund association and Professor A. B. Draper a charter member of that and the Portland Whist club. The funeral will be held from the First Congregational church at 2:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Rev. Luther R. Dydtt will preach the ser mon. A large body of school children will be in attendance.

Newberg. one of Yamhill county's bustling cities, has raised its pledge to the Red Cross campaign fund, from S7500 to $10,000. This Is how it hap pened: The meeting for organization of the local campaign had been called for Sunday afternoon. One hundred and fifty of Newberg's most representa live people gathered In the public li brary. A speaker and assistant In or ganization was expected from Port land. But he failed to appear. Chair man Dow of the Newberg Red Cross auxiliary began telephoning frantical ly. He got L. G. Nichols, state Red cross campaign manager, on the line 'Til come," promised Mr. Nichols. "I'll come, as soon as I can get a ma chine and make the run. Meantime hold the crowd if you have to read clear through tho Four Gospels. Veteran Trom Tpres Appears The people were informed of the delay and its cause. Patiently they set themselves to wait. Campaign leaders gave such information as they had. Suddenly the door opened. A man entered. He hobbled down the aisle. "He's just back from the war." the whisper spread electrically across the room. The man was assisted to the plat form. He was Freeman Armstrong of Hillsboro. He had been fighting with the Canadian troops. He had been in the battle of Ypres. He had been grievously wounded. He knew what It was to b8 under shell fire. He knew what it was to face poison gas. In simple soldier fashion he be gan his story. He warmed to the narrative. His auditors heard the crackle of rapid fire guns and the incessant booming of artillery.
