IRVINGTON TO HAVE FRENCH
Director Drake Expresses , Dis
approval of Plan, Declaring
It Contrary to Trend of Times.
Members of the board of education re
fuse, to drop the proceedings against
Samuel G.-May' suspended Instructor at
the--Jefferson !'hlgh school, whose fistic
battle with -William Hlmple, a student,
resulted in charges being filed against
the teacher.
' Frederick It Whitfield, appearing 'for
May, -met the.' board in executive ses
sion Thursday and It was decided to
proceed with the formal hearing' which
twill given' by the commission named
tinder the -teachers' tenure law. The
: jmembers of this commission are Guy
C. H. Corliss,' Alice Benson Beach and
J. C Wolds.
The accused si allowed 20 days in
Which to reply to the charges.
As resort-of the fisticuffs the student
involved .-is also under suspension by
Principal Hopkln Jenkins.
On the recommendation of Superin
tendent L. R. Alderman, a course in
French will be added to the Irvingtbn
school. The proposition brought out dis-
: cuss ion between, the members of the
. board, it being held by some that the
policy of introducing foreign languages
in the schools is 'wrong.
- Brake Opposes Course
Director Drake was strongly opposed
.to adding the new course. He sa,id that
thinkers and educators of today are be
ginning to realize that more attention
should be centered on the Americanua
tion Idea ; that the trouble with the coun
try now is that there are '"too many
. little Italys," here now.
Superintendent Alderman defended the
proposition on tire ground that now is
:?the time in which to prepare for the
f events which will follow the war. He
said that many other schools of the na
" tion are shaping their language courses
to this end.
The board thanked the Portland Grade
ii Teachers' association for offering its co
operation as indicated in the following
-: resolution adopted by the association
. and presented to the board :
' Conduct Standard Urged
- Whereas, The Portland Grade Teach
-- era' association desires that a high stan
. dard of professional conduct be main
talned by its members : and
.Whereas, This association also desires
to cooperate with the city superintendent
or scnoois anu wttn tne board or edu
. cation by assisting them in maintaining
such a Btandardin our schools, be it
- Hesolved, That the association call the
attention of its members to the power
to discipline members guilty of unprofes
. sional conduct which is vested in the
j. committee on teachers' affairs as speci
Itied in article 14, section 2 of the by-laws
of the association ; be it
; Resolved further. That the association
softer the services of its committee on
teachers' affairs to the board of educa
te tion to assist in the discipline of any
f member of the association when request
ted to do so by said, board of education
or by the city Buperlniendent of schools.

Hurley praised the standardised ship

Goethals regime. -
Going into the difficulties with which
Whe shipping board has met. Hurley ex
plained how the navy's . program prac
tically had monopolized the facilities of
yards. . . . .,,.
Hurley said that contracts have been
let to 110 shipyards, 74 of which have
been created since January l.
In addition the emergency fleet cor
oration has requisitioned vessels which
are building in 22 shipyards. The cor
poration now controls work In 132 ship
yards, f.
Hurley declared that much of the work
of his organisation had been directed
toward, the completion of fabricated and
other newly organised plants, The money
expended for this purpose alone up to
December. 1 was $9,651,000.
I am happy to say that the- flrr
three keels in these plants will be' laid
this month," he said. "The progress ot
the work of the yard construction ltse
is such that we can promise fairly fun
operation during the spring of 1818. The
fact that hulls have actually been com
pleted within 64 days on the Pacific
coast gives bright promise of the large
capacity which these fabricated yards
are bound to turn out."

Water Has Receded at Woodland
' WooRjbnd, Wash., Dec. 21. Flood con
I dltlonioCt Woodland are much less" men
r acing today.
Stock losses in the immediate vicinity
i 'of Woodland amount to between fin unH
; 7f head of cows, horses and hogs. There
: , are other losses farther out in .the sur
i rounding country, but it Is not possible
to estimate such losses at this time.
, ' Actual property damage by the flood
? s Is placed at from $50,000 to. $75,000,
s I though potential losses by reason- of
J? damaged farms and equipment will be
much greater.
" , The steamer La Center is stranded in
'Lamb's field, on the north fork, 200 feet
.. from shore. She was crossing the flood
ed field to remove some stock to safety
.when she grounded on a sand. bank. It
Is estimated that it will cost $1000 to
y $1500 to float her.
t: Telephone service has been fairly well
reestablished. The roads round-about
v sare in bad shape. To the north, how-
fever, though the flood washed up to
within 15 feet of the main highway, it
did not go over. Along highways where
; rtravel-is possible the farms are covered
. 'with sand, driftwood, and debris.
t t vTo the i nprth. because of a culvert
, , washout, the east side railroad track is
' out of commission, and traffic Is routed
over the west track. To the south, be
tween Fellda and Vancouver, the west
.track is out and trains are being routed
over tne east track.
Washington, Dec. 21. Facing allied
demands for between six million and
eight million tons of shipping in 1918,
the United States shipping board is
hard pressed to fill the order. This was
officially admitted Thursday by mem
hers of the shipping board preliminary
to appearing before the senate commit
tee Inquiring into ship construction
work.
. .Red tape and necessity for frequent
re-organization of the board and its sub
division, the emergency fleet 'corporation,
are responsible for a part of the delay.
A "serious condition" In shipbuilding
yards also exists. Ot the old yards, 70
per cent are now being used by the .navy
department. In the new yards estab
lished for emergency building there Is
the tremendous work of organizing nec
essary labor.
Nevertheless, Hurley Is -prepared to go
on the senate committee grill as the first
witness with a story of much accom
plished under trying- conditions, and a
promise of a big tonnage delivery at the
end of 1918.
Wednesday the shipping board re
ceived a telegram from shipbuilders in
Seattle, Wash., stating that their yards
would certainly produce the million, tons
promised for next' year. Reports from
west coast yards alone show that 3,000,
000 tons will bo built.
Hurley Is now In complete charge of
the shipbuilding work a change from!
the regime under Admiral Capps, when
Capns was virtually in control of the I
building and Hurley th contracts. This
divided responsibility, it is clainfed. led
to confusion and delay, which Hurley
believes will be eliminated by. placing
control under a single bead.
