Dr. Sheldon Declares in Address
Latter Are Failure From Edu
cational Standpoint.
The Boy Scout organisation as a model
for "Sunday school work - was recom
mended at the Monday evening session
of the thifty-flrst annual diocese of Ore
gon Episcopal convention: at St Stephens
pro-cathedral by Dr. H. D. Sheldon, deart
of the school of education at the Uni
versity of Oregon.
Dr. Sheldon claimed that the Ameri
can Sunday school is a failure from the
educational standpoint and that uni
versity student coming from Christian
homes have, little knowledge of Biblical
history. '
The Boy Scout organisation, accord
ing to Dr. Sheldon, satisfies the craving
of the boy for" a volunteer organization
of an imaginative romantlo nature. The
Sunday school, to be effective, must
have some sort of consecutive leader
ship and must supply activity by Which
the boys can be drawn not only to
themselves but to their leaders, accord
ing to Dr. Sheldon. -
Bishop W, T, - Sumner declared that
the modern . Sunday school is not, a fail
ure and that religious training Is for
self-expression.' The strength of the
Sunday school lies In the sincerity of its
teachers, according to Bishop Sumner.
The woman's auxiliary of the diocesan
branch Is holding Its annual meeting
today at Grace Memorial church. The
main sessions of the convention will
open Wednesday.

seventh avenue southeast.
" Following the example of his elders.
Clarence started Jn search of the kero
sene can as soon as he had laid the wood
In the Steve. Failing in his attempt, he
seised the gasoline bottle, thinking it a
fine substitute. The 'boy; poured the
gasoline on the wood and, holding the
open bottle In his hand, struck & match
to light tho fire. An explosion immedi
ately followed that blew the lids off the
stove, knocked down the stove pipe and
knocked the bottle out of Clarence's hand
Luckily the bottle was knocked . away
from him and the gasoline "spilled on a
chair Instead of on the boy.
The chairs and children's clothing
about the stove soon caught on fire. En
gine company 31 helped Irwin extinguish
the' blase.-. ',

spector, Returns From Trip
to Canadian City. -
E. T. Gooch, immigration inspector Of
Astoria, and Mrs. Lucy Dougherty, ma
tron of the Multnomah county Jail, found
Winnipeg a strange city of strike and
turmoil, where nothing but amusement
cauld be indulged in legally and safely.
when they visited the Canadian city to
deport a German woman who Is a sub
Ject of. Canada by naturalization. They
returned to Portland today.
"The Salvation Army headquarters was
the only place in which I could get a
meal; said Gooch Monday. "We could
eat Ice cream and drink all the soda pop
we wanted All the confectioneries were
open, as were many moving picture
shows, but not another single business
waa in operation to an extent that could
be called helpful. There were a few open
cigar stores and fruit stands. Hotels ask
their fuftats who are leaving for outside
points to take mail with them and place
it in postof flees outside the sone of agr
tation. Little or no news service can be
had. unless it is over private wires or
through couriers to Outside telegraph
offices. No newspapers are being issued.
The hotels will rent rooms, but will
not guarantee clean linen or towels, and
since the chambermaids are on strike,
each guest must make up his own bed.
"I will say frankly that the strike is
really a Bolshevik affair, and that if the
people knew Just what It was it wouian't
last long."
