Wholesale Only: "Me and the kid" are "trotting square a rain" and the heart of Mrs. Dora Barber, United' States 'department of justice operative, of Forest Grove, is happy. Under a neatly written label that di rected a little package to Mrs. Barber through Police Chief Nels' P. Johnson on Saturday Mrs. Barber found a note. teeming with the human element, and a beautiful gold wrist watch, tribute to Mrs. Barber, for teaching two young folk who wandered off the path of recti tude "a few of the lessons they did not learn-in school." -, "Me and the kid" were arrested dur ing the war by Mrs, Barber somewhere in Oregon. . That much she is sure of, it Is said. Their correct names or the Cause of their detention is forgotten among the mass of memories of stirring days. She presumes, however, that "me" Is a soldier and "the kid" is the sweetheart for whom that was his most endearing name. - HEART STRINGS TOUCHED . Touching the ' heart strings with its quaint appeal; the following is the note that ' accompanied the golden gift of gratitude, -although its misspelled, type written words, evidently the work of an amateur typist, have been put Into mora. proper form than the original: "I used to hate you like poison, but I guess you- were right and I. was wroifg. Anyhow, I learned some things that they don't teach In school, and one of them was that yon will some day get what's coming to you. You helped me to learn it. I am willing ' to pay for my schooling. . - "The kid says she thinks youll like what we're sending. Toull never know which one of the 100 or more of us I ' am. but you'll be glad to know that any of us is trotting square again, and that's what I am. ' All I can say ts go get 'era. t does them' good. SHE WILL PLAY SQUARE i Mrs. Barber will make no effort to find "me and the kid," for the "kid asked secrecy and Mrs. Barber will play a, square . game "-with him.

Emery county, Mr. Hagan asserts, will be restored to its former productivity through the elimination of The Importance of physical and health training In the public schools Is brought out in the report, of As slstant Superintendent ' E. II. Whit ney to Superintendent D. A. Grout on the meeting of the National Edu cation association, where the subject was treated ' to considerable discus aion. i ,': , . v - ' Of the 85 per cent of men rejected by the draft boards, 7S .per cent were suf fering from slight causes that could have been remedied by proper care and attention In the elementary schools, the facts brought out. Figures also showed that even those who were passed as physically fit were not efficient because of a lack of proper physjcal.and health training in the schools. . A law which passed the last New York legislature makes military training com pulsory for all boys between the ages of 18 and 1. the only exception being within the discretion of the commissioner of education whose duty It Is to enforce the law, and who takes the position that training shall be for work In the state and not with the benefit of the Indl vidual solely tn mind. : Mr. Whitney suggsts that a study be made of the New York and Maine laws before the required legislation for compulsory physical training be enacted. OPEK AIR HELD BEST . Open air- schools end window venti lated rooms also received approval. The Mills Open Air schools has already dem onstrated ln the brief period of its ex istence what may be done along open air lines. Commercial ventilators were scored by the schoolmen as being a sue cess from the commercial point of view but a failure, from the physical ; and health viewpoint. -r Tests made in Chicago snowea mat school rooms ventilated by windows have shown a much more satisfactory condi tion that the patent systems, and ' tr ls - decided that since . the open air shool . had proven itself to be such v a boon to the undernourished and physi cally unfit that it is a' crime to de prive the normal child of equally good school environment. .'-.. . .vt Most of the schools in ? Portland are ventilated by patent systems and in some of the schools the teachers say they are prohibited by the principals from ever raising a window . on the ground that it Interferes with the ventilating system. USE OFv-PICTUBES ' A plea was made for the greater use of the school as a community center. It was pointed out that with our complex civilization and the economic demands being - made . upon, -the home which are becoming - more acute each year, s the school must successfully and thoroughly train our boys and girls in these things that fro for . civic righteousness and healthful citizenship. , Superintendent Whitney conferred with Eastern educators - on visualized education.' who stated that it- was not meeting: with pronounced success up to the present time because of the teachers having 'no definite instruction to- guiae them in their wbrk. The "moving picture machine was considered the most satis factory! agent and many of the larger systems are equipping their schools with machines and establishing suitame ifr braries of films to cover the sub JecH taught In both elementary' and secondary schools. Paris Birth Rate Is On Decline While Mortality Growing i -? . . 1 1 . ... -'- " Special Cable to The Journal and The Cbieate . uauy ftewa. . (Copyrisbt, 1019, by Chicasu Daily Newt Co.) . Paris. July 26. The number of births in the Paris district, fell from 73,639 In 1911 to 47,480 in 1918.. Infant mortality rose from 10.68 per cent before the war to 40 per cent In 1918. ; Three- thousand one hundred and forty-eight infanta were abandoned. The increase In In fant mortality is attributed largely te the lack of wet nurses. - Before the war the public aid bureau was able' to re cruit 1358 wet nurses in the country, but in 1918 only 63 could be obtained. This diminution was thought' to be due to the increasingly large number of women employed in the munition factories.
