ALARY ADVAKCC PROPOSED In' a set of resolutions, unanimously MADE HEAD OF STATE TEACHERS' SOCIETY - ft tL ;.-tf-'i . "'if V. C Alderson will not be the nursery of a sane democ racy." Mrs. Sue Fratis. field worker for Na tional Education association of Oakland, spoke informally on the N. E. A. plan of organization for an advance of stand ards. It is rumored that she is really here tv combat the union sentiments among; grade teachers and to offer as a llBBstof brown murder adopted, the association proposed a sen- UuU the N E A ,ral advance in teachers' salaries, from , , M,,!? .L7, In admitting the imj the state superintendent of schools down . to the lowest paid elementary teacher . and urging the state superintendent to appoint a committee to work out the pro- gram.

ALl'MHI liimCHEON HELD The University of OreeoH alumni luncheon In connection withthe teach ers' convention was held in the cafe teria of Lincoln high school at noon with about 100 attending.

Orout, superintendent of schools In Portland. - TThe football of local: politics, to be kicked and cuffed about, would be the result of an InduHtrlaA form-of ors-anJaa-Uon. as pictured by ir. J. IJheldor of the University of Oregon, vfldreaBing the Uachers' convention Wednesday , when rhe posalbllitles ot teachers unions were openly discussed,, yet without mention being made of the word "unionism." I "The metbodBif a ahoe shop cannot be i Introduced Into education to get the right results." said Dr. ShelddnV Reasonable certainty, of tenure of of . flee and a large degree of liberty ff ln lvld,nKl action ere - the two points brought out by Dr. Sheldon as neces- sary to the future content of teachers. . CUl'NCIL PLAN URGED s He advocated the representative and -advisory council plan as a solution, which, he said, has been ' adopted in ' 'iijany cities with success. Speaking from a university standpoint, where the faculty' has pelf governing powers true to a democratic ideal of administra tion. Drr Sheldon subtly denounceo the efficiency experts of . the "new auto cratic type't who assume the respons ibility la many things in which the teachers themselves are Justified In de- - shrlng to have a voice. The key to the misunderstanding, thinks Dr. Sheldon, lies m the' ides of historical evolution, . i wherein the old-fashioned . democratic university methods will be at the foun dation. If a higher standard of salaries can ' be secured, the undesirable, ele : ments of the old system. will disappear. -'The two sides should understand each .other," said Dr. Sheldon, "and ' endeavor to cooperate In order to get results." t . , He said that so far the university fac- - tiltlea had managed to "muddle along without discontent", (and without the aid of these "omnipotent efficiency ex perts"), "because they had a depart- ' mental voice Jn thglr own affalrst" N 'If the teachlnl profession Is to achieve success," said Dr. Sheldon, "it must have fair salaries, a reasonable ; degree, of tenure of office and facilities . for self expression to make its own- voice felt In the management of affairs. TKACHIHa IS SPIRITUAL ""I simply want to leave this idea with you in conclusion." said Dr. Sheldon, taacbinr Is a spiritual occupation, not a mechanical one. Tba character of the spiritual results you are going to get will depend on the quality of indi viduals In the teaching force, and sec ondly in their attitude toward their work.' ' A rebellious and defiant attitude importance of organ ization, she said this was necessary for the maintenance of proper standards, for exchange of ideas and In many other ways, under the N. E. A. organization the aim of all teachers would be for bet- , ter education, Americanization of schools, ( welfare work, and co-operation between J local andj state organizations. ' "A growing need is recognized of all t kinds of organization," said Mrs. Fratis. i CLASS ROOM FEATURE PRAISED i Calling attention to the ' ract that the 1 Class room department is a new feature ' of the convention and gives evidence of : the further democratization. Miss Lillie ; Lieth, teaching principal. Rainier, Co- lumbia county, explained that thid is the ' first year in which class room teachers have been allowed to have a voice In the convention.

Holman voired their complaints Wednesday against the city council's recent action in signing a contract with Charles Henry Cheney, consultant to the city planning commission, for $300 a month for the ensuing year, on grounds that the money was to be expended on a zoning scheme that would "derange, unsettle and over throw property values In Portland." The council, however, reaffirmed its former action and authorized the execution of a contract with Cheney for 1920. Holman asserted that the expenditure . was unauthorized and that he believed the 2- mill tax increase granted by the i people on November 12 was Invalid un- der charter provisions.

CLUBWOMEN RALLY TO STOP HANGING BEFORE CELLMATES Plans of Officer to Let Prisoners View Execution as 'Lesson Meet Opposition. Chicago, Jan. 1. L if. S.)

' ; Raffalo Durrage, i sentenced to ' be banged .early -tomorrow for the' murder of Onofrio Garhano and his wife, is to be the "horrible example" in Lauben heimer's 'unique lesson. According to Laubenheimer's an nounced plans, ra.ore than 200 prisoners held at the , county jail on various charges are to witness the execution of Durrage. "I know from experience that anyone who has witnessed a hang ing never will deliberately kill," Lau befthelmer said. "It is the greatest les son you can give a criminal. The prisoners will be kept in cells, but will be placed so they may view the execu-. tion. I'll guarantee every one will be sick of cripie after seeing Durrage hanged." Miss Mary McDowell of the University of Chicago settlement, who is taking the lead in preventing the "lesson being driven home in this manner," today declared the idea "shocking," "I am surprised such a thing could even be considered," she said.

Wisler, al leged candidate for the Republican pres idential nomination in South Dakota pri maries, is a husky male living in an un pretentious section of Chicago.

I'n only ,'28 years old." - It seems that Abbie ran for state repreeetnatlve on the Republican ticket In the Fifteenth district a couple of years ago.
