Boob Attacked' by Justice Mc

Praised by Many Educators.
OTHER CITIES ADOPT BOOK
Charge That It Is Unpatriotic
and Inaccurate Is Not In
' dorsed by View of Others.
;.Th school board i soon to decide
- whether It wiy continue the uae of
MuiMy'a. American history In the hlRh
; achools of Portland or yield to the fight
made against It by Judge Wallace Mc
Camant and select a new text book.
Though Judge McCamant began de
manding more than a year ago that the
. history be thrown forthwith out of
- Portland schools, he still stands alone
-.In 'toll opposition to It, and his views
that the book is Inaccurate, unpatriotic
-. end Improperly opinionated are not sus
, tanned by educators, either the teachers
of history In Portland high schools or
those In other educational institutions.
-Various books on American history
are now being reviewed by Superintend
ent Alderman and his assistants, D. A.
: Grout and Charles A. Rice, and the
-three plan to unite In a recommendation
; to the board.
, , Will Beeommend Beit Book
"Superintendent Alderman said: "We
will recommend for adoption the best
book on history among them all, re-
. gardless of the author. We will be
, definite In our recommendation. Any
Ahr course would" be cowardly. We
'' will not make a recommendation until
' completely satisfied in our own minds
.. aa to which' Is the best. It Is Impossible
now to say exactly when our recom
mendation will be made, but of course,
' It will be within a month."
. The superintendent and assistant su-
- perintendents are assuming the entire
i responsibility for reviewing the histories
and making the recommendation as to
. the one which should be adopted. Four
years ago. when the now expiring con-
.' tract was made for the adoption of Muz
gey's history, the opinions of the teach-
: era of history In the high schools were
apught and given due weight, but such
opinions have not so far been invited.
Opinions favorable to the book have,
. however, been received from promlnept
outside educators. Professor K. Carlton
Clark of the- University of Oregon,
writes :
Mazzey Is Interesting
' "I know of no book that so satisfac
torily meets the requirements of a high
school text in American history as does
that by Muzzey. Teachers that have
UsSd it are generally agreed that pupils
find (t interesting and that It Is In every
way a 'teachable' book. It has always
Impressed me as a book that lays just
the proper emphasis on the political,
economic and social phases of our na
tional development.
: "High school teachers that have used
Mussey's history are the best judges of
Us merits. In choosing a book for a
text it seems to me much the wiser plan
to take one that has stood the test of
class room use and given satisfaction In
more respects than any other. I hope,
that the supplementary chapters to be
added by Professor Muzzey may bring
. the book very nearly up to date."
History Is Praised
'Were we contemplating a change I
Should consider Muzzey most favorably,"
Is the comment from Professor J. B. W.
Butler of Oregon Normal school.
, Muzzey's history has been adopted
Since January 1 in the schools of St.
. Louis, Columbia, Denver and Jersey
City.
" One of the strongest testimonials to
the book comes from C. A. Duniway,
: president of Colorado college. lie
writes :
i, "I have always regarded Muzzey's
J American history as an excellent text
book for high school students. He evi-
- dently wrote his book on the theory that
the, boys and girls between the ages of
14 and 19 should be encouraged to study
" history reflectively, thinking a great
deal more about the problems which had
.to be faced and solved by the American
: peonle than about picturesque incidents
In the past. High school students need i
a cnange irom me picturesque ana aog
matlc teaching of the grades and Muz
sey's methods help In this direction. Of
' -eourse, the high school teacher of his
; tory should be an alert and well bal
, .anced person whose scholarship will
supplement a text book aid will see to
tt that historical problems are presented
. .with balance and judgment.
7; - B of Bst Tts
' '"While I am not concerned to advo
' cate the use of Muzzey's book rather
loan some pne of its many excellent
' competitors in the same field, I would
expect only good results from its con
tinued use in the high schools of Port
land."
' ii John P. O'Hara, formerly professor
vof history at the University of Oregon,
' .-used the expression, "one of the best
texts In Its field." in his reference to
Mussey's history. "Of special value Is
.the author's emphasis upon the more
. .recent' period of our national life, a
period which he has treated with manl-
f est Interest and insight," Is his further
comment.
'. J B. Horner, professor of Oregon Ag
ricultural college, adds the weight of his
, favorable opinion to the value of Muz- !
ley's history ; "I find the book to be
clear, interesting and comprehensive,"
-,he writes. "The author endeavors to
,: .present all sides of a question, then
-fearlessly states his opinion. The book
is properly proportioned, giving suf-
. ficient emphasis to the period since the
Civil war. and tt sheds light in many
. 'spots that historians have left in dark
ness. I regard it as a good history for
.''use In high schools and academies."
'. ' MeCamast's Criticisms Colored
" .These- opinions from men of high
, Standing In the educational world strike
..rather directly at Judge McCamant's
. charge that Muzzey's history Is lnac
Curate, and improperly opinionated in
, such a matter, for instance, as the tariff.
Muzzey discusses the tariff as an eco
nomic question and reaches conclusions
based on such a discussion, while Mr
.McCamant's criticisms were colored. In
i the belief of many educators, by his
; high-protectionist, political views of the
tariff question.

ADDRESSES AT ART MUSEUM
Miss Helen Putnajn Offers Sug
gestion; Exhibit Is Made of
Art Work by School Children.
"We are hearing and reading much
just now about Oregon becoming a
great flax growing state and a great
wool producing state and we are also
told that within the next year there
will be returned to the United States
100,000 men who have been wounded
in battle so that they cannot pursue
their usual vocatidna. Now why
shouldn't we establish a weaving in
dustry to use our own output of
linen and wool and at the same time
offer to these men an opportunity to
become self supporting by learning
this work?" Thus spoke Miss Helen
Putnam, a member of the staff of
the Portland Art Museum, in her talk
Monday afternoon, the occasion being
the first day of the museum's hos
pitality week. Miss Putnam told of
the weaving Industry In this and for
eign countries and made a plea for
some such thing In Oregon.
Miss Henrietta H. Faling presided
over the Informal program of ad
dresses by members of the staff in
which the work of the museum and the
art school were detailed. Miss lone
Dimlap, school docent, told of her
18.000 charges among the public school
children who every year visit the mu
seum and learn of its treasures. Mr.
Wentz spoke of the great value of the
night school to those employed dur
ing the day and Miss Clara Stephens
told of the work of the children's de
partment. More than 150 people visited
the museum, in addition to the usual
class of school children.

Seattle, Wash.. March 19. (U. P.) j
"If the supremest sacrifices are made ,
we will win the war; If they are not!
made the central powers will win the s
war." j
So declared Charles R. Van Hlse, I
president of the University of Wiscon
sin, this morning in an address at the
University of Washington.
"This would mean that the vll
doctrine that might makes right Is
established In this world," he con
tinued. He pointed out that self-denial of
both business and labor is asked in
this great struggle and must be given
equally by both.
"Organized labor must not work to
produce the minimum output in eight
hours, but the maximum output," he
declared. "Strikes must be eliminated.
Work must go on unceasingly."

The insurance Interests of the state
were well lined up behind the Insurance
code, as introduced intothe legislature
of 1917 and enacted by it. They are still
favorable to it. though here and there
mutterings of discontent are heard
against it' and Its operation. Certain of
the fraternal and mutual companies do
not like the terms of the new law, while
the so-called "non-board" agents are
hostile to it. The hostility of the latter
is met by the counter thrust of the
old line representatives that one of the
principal purposes of tne act was either
to force the non board operatives to be
good or to quit the business, and many
of them have quit.
Still another angle of the Interest be
ing taken in the code and its operation
springs from the question of rebates on
policy commissions. Rebates are strict
ly prohibited by the act, but it is charged
that they are still being given by va
rious insurance agents and companies,
particularly in Portland, and that this
feature of the law is not being enforced
by- Insurance Commissioner Harvey
Wells. The insurance men would like
to see some expedient provided which
would make it mandatory upon the in
surance commissioner to Keep a closer
rein over rebate giving and other non
observances of the law.
Aside from the Multnomah situation,
it is- understood that when the list of
candidates is finally compiled and the
ballots made up throughout the state,
the names of prominent Insurance men
from various sections of the state will
be found upon it. in anticipation of any

Members of House ' and Senate
Undecided Whether to Seek
Reelection.
John Gil) is a potential candidate for
reelection to the state senate, according
to his admission this morning.
"A number of people have been ad
vising me to be a candidate for renomi
nation and reelection," Senator Gill
said, "but I have not definitely made
up my mind whether I will follow the
advice. I am thinking the matter over,
however."
Senator Gill was elected at the gen
eral election of 1918 to fill the unexpired
term caused by the resignation of Sen
ator Arthur Langguth. who had been
appointed municipal judge and who,
feeling that he could not, under the
law, retain both offices, tendered his
resignation as senator before the pri
maries that his successor might be
nominated and elected by the people in
regular order. Senator Gill Is the oldest
man, in point of legislative service, in
the Multnomah delegation. having
served through several terms both of
the house and senate.
Four other members of the last
Multnomah delegation, other than those
already formally In the present con
test, are thinking of becoming candi
dates. George T. Wlllett. K. K. Kubll and
Stephen A. Matthleu, three house mem
bers, are considering the feasibility of
standing for reelection to the house,
while Arthur C. Callan, a present house
member, may become a candidate for
the senate. All are yet In the contem
plative stage.
It has been reported that A. H. Bur
ton, a member of the 1917 house delega
tion, will be a candidate for reelection,
while Senator Herman Lewis. Herbert
Gordon and D. C. Lewis have already
made formal announcement of their
candidacies.
Plowden Stott. a .member of the last
house, will not be a candidate for re
election unless he changes his mind be
tween now and April, 12, the date when
filings close.
It is reported that Horace Mecklem,
D. C. Herrin and Stanley Jewett will
join the insurance brigade with David
Atkinson as candidates for the house
of representatives, while George Henry.
Charles Rudeen, Peter O. Bonebrake,
Herman von Borstel and A. W. Allen
are also representative possibilities, with
