I.:- Nine Pretty Girls Learning Way to Masculine Heart "N S. O. C. nm t M to ms. We'r good cook u ytm aoon will m" THE North School Cooking club they ptill call themselves, even though the board changed the name of the school to Sitton. It was Inconsiderate of the 'board, "anyhow, to change the name of the school Just after the girls had worked tfeautiful monograms on theirsnow white caps. The North School Cooking club, for that Is still their official name, is com posed of nine pretty girls who are going to put on a table setting demonstration at the Peninsula club fair' at the Penin sula bank next Tuesday afternoon. The club was organized on April 16. Katherine Bonham was elected presi dent, Dollle. Harrie vice president, Alice Olaub secretary, Audrey Walte treas urer and Opal Hagenbuch local club leader. Other members are Justine Ford, Fern Clute, Marion Banbury and Mary Florence O'Brlon. Tffe girls adopted white uniforms with caps monogramed with the letters "N. S. C. C." Their motto Is: "Good eoote tr born not mada," tbey My. The nayixig in moot untrue. Rani trying and good recipes Will make good cook of too. "Pies, cakes, muffins and bread. Y are good cooks as many hire said," is one of their favorite yells. Under the direction of Mrs. Opal Hagenbuch. their club leader, the girls finished all their work Just before school was out last spring, and on achievement day, during the last week of the school year, they gave a measuring demonstra tion and a table setting demonstration that Miss Helen Cowgill, Industrial club leader of Oregon Agricultural college, said was the best she bad seen any where. Each girl exhibited a loaf of white bread, muffins, salad and cake that she had made herself. , The North school canning team ex pects to attend the state fair at Salem and wear their uniforms while giving demonstrations. , They will be accom panied by Mrs. Hagenbuch. They will also put on an exhibit at the Multnomah county fair. Hopplcking Is keeping many students out of school, declares C. R. Hollaway, school attendance officer, who -believes that Portland school attendance will show a marked increase when the hop season is finally over. "Each year we have the same trouble," said Holla,way. "Entire fami lies go to the hop fields and there is no way of reaching the children of school age who are making money as well as the rest of them." . The Alameda Park ParentTeacher as sociation will meet Monday at 2:30 p. m. in the-school house. o "-its 1 -. Printing Plant Has Been Moved ToBensonTech. BENSON POLYTECHNIC school has a aew department this ysax that of printing. In harge of Orley Athey, who moTM over witn tn printing equipment from Jefferson high school, where a somewhat meaner coarse in printing has been offered for several years. Besides th Jefferson pinting equip ment, th department Is supplied with a Miller feeder, another Job press, mak ing three in all; aad on the way coining are a Miller saw and trimmer and a power paper cutter. Although the equipment la still Incom plete and the course of study yet in the embryo, nine boys have already en rolled with printing aa their major and six more are taking printing work along with other courses, making a total of IS printing etndents. Some ef these came over from Jefferson high school. When complete the department prob ably win be the most completely equip ped on th western coast. But while the Benson printing course has been Installed in a large, well light ed room, with ample space for addition al expansion, . one problem has already loomed up before the school officials that of the admission of girls. The Benson school has neve admit ted girls the girls who wished to take up vocational work being referred to the Girls' Polytechnic school, which teaches the more feminine arts of cook- ing and sawing. When th printing course was given at Jefferson high school, several girls were enrolled. Now, with the course at Benson, the hitherto strictly boys' school two girls have mad application, desiring to become printers, but thus far they have not been permitted to enroll. The employers' committee and school officials, however, say this matter will be folly adjusted as soon as the com plete equipment Is installed and the course of ' study actually agreed upon and that girls will be permitted to en ter the Institution for printing instruc tion. The printing schools at Indianap olis, conducted by the Typothetae, Is the model for the equipment and course of study to be Installed. Oregon forest pictures were shown to the children of Couch school Thursday afternoon in two new moving picture films prepared under the auspices of the United States forest service. One film, "Trails That Lure," showed a large part of the Eagle creek trail as well as other trails popular to Portland hikers. The other picture, "A Pack Train Trip Into the Cascades," was taken by w. U Fin ley on the recent trip which he made into the Washington national forest with District Forester George Cecil and John A. Keating. The pictures wer shown twice Thursday afternoon to 'the Couch kiddies. They will be loaned by the forest service without charge to any school that has the proper apparatus for showing movies, Washington high school Is looking after its freshmen and other new com ers by appointing a senior student to look after each new arrival. The big brother or sister takes the freshman in charge, shows him about the building, introduces him to the faculty and other wise makes him feel that he is a part of the great Institution in which he is to be enrolled for. the next four years. Work Is progressing so rapidly on the James John high school that it is ex pected classes can move back into the building by the first of October. Sev enty workmen are employed remodel ing th structure. James John students are at present 'widely scattered, some of them meeting In various portables, some in the branch library and some at Peninsula park. This wide division has necessarily made over-emphasis on some branches of study, since it is im possible for the teachers to go from one class to another. Hence one group is being fed up on English and another on mathematics. When they get into their own building the first will let Eng lish slide while they catch up on their other subjects. The other classes will follow a similar course. Attendance at High School of Com merce has so increased this year that an additional period has been created to take care of ghe students, Marian Sibley, one of the number, says. Espe cially numerous are the students wish ing to take typewriting and the length ened day will give them more oppor tunity for practice work. The school closes at 3 o'clock instead of 2 :20 p. m. as it did last year. The adult classes in millinery .and dressmaking are proving quite as popu lar at the Girls' Polytechnic school as those for th young women. The adult classes, which meet three days a week, are limited to 23 women. There is al ready a long waiting list of those who desire instruction as soon as places can be made for them. The adult courses are five weeks In length. Nearly 60 men are enrolled at Benson Polytechnic ' school . under the federal board ot vocational education. These ex service men are. enrolled in classes with regular students but will later have academic Instruction of their own pro vided by special teachers furnished by the federal government Small American Teaches Father "My father couldn't read a few years ago. but now he has read the constitu tion clear through." declared a little Italian youngster last week. "Where did he learn to read? asked the teacher. "Did you help him" Tea." declared the new American proudly. -"I helped him, and what he learned he Just had to get himself be cause he has been too busy to go to night school. r. Small Kiddies At Ainsworth LearningFrench A BABEL, of voices speaking a strange tongue Issued from the sunny class room of the Ainsworth school when Principal Lillie D. Thomas opened the door. Forty-eight fourth grade young Amer icans looked up with mingled glances of curiosity said amusement. Mischiev ous eyes twinkled under big bows, curly locks and freckled face. Miss Eugene Bouchet stopped her French Instruction for a moment to greet the newcomer. A few momenta of explanation and the class resumed Its play. It was a great game, something like -Button, button, who' got the button. and other similar pastimes. Mist Bou chet would ask where something was In French, and 48, little arms would shoot upward and awing wildly about trying to attract attention, inen me fortunate Jlttle' kiddie whom he teacher derided unon was allowed to walk to and lay his hand upon the object and tell the class In French about it. Oh, the pride of showing oft and th agony of making a mistake! There was a little fellow who mistook the window shade for 'chaise." It almost broke bis heart But very few of 'them made mistakes. Then thev slaved a -game In French, to which one pupil was allowed to go outside while another gave a piece of chalk to someone eise ana wwu outsider came in, he had to guess who had It. All In French, of course. Abso lutely nothing was spokan in English. After that several of them got up and sang some little French songs and a few a' hmm nvi French recitations, all witv the most natural pronunciation. "Some of my pupils In this class have only had three lessons," said Miss Bou chet "so tt is hardly representative. But come into my sixth graae ciass. The visitor went to the sixth grad. Here the youngsters were learning to read from Le Primier Levre de Francala There were dialogues in which four pu nti me to the front of the room and read the French and acted It out. There were pages and pages of reading that th children fairly flew over, wiu lew French was also being taught In the seventh and eighth grades where Ahe rudiments of grammar were acquired. "I believe that the child should begin i.inr tn sDeak foreign Ian gauges while the vocal organs are still in their foramtive state," says Miss uoucnet, "otherwise the correct pronunciation can rrai. mrvnr be acauired. I knew a tvwr of 17 who Is undertaking to study FreneH In high scnooi ana wno is con sidering giving it up, because he can nnt nronnunce correctly.

Practically all th high schools had a speaker during the week. General Beebe apoke at Washington hlgrh and Thomas Buchanan and Judge Wallace McCain ant at Lincoln high, in the grades air the civics class students wer made to learn the preamble and in some schools th power of the present and the , departments provided in the constitution. One little chap has found it decidedly Inconvenient to have a noted historian for a grandfather. Every time he wants to let things slid for a while. his teacher puts him up before the class aa a shameful example of what a grand son to such a noted grandfather ought to be. When Thruaday cam and he hadn't learned etis preamble yet. his teacher actually threatened, before the. class, to telegraph his grandfather about it He was given one more day of grace, however. It was a sly young ster who escaped the week without at least learning th preamble. The library training class of the Portland public library, conducted under the direction Of Miss n. w,, will open October 4. Membership of th class this year Is made up of Mrs. Amanda B. Daugherty, Mrs. Jennie A Marshall, Helen Shreck, Constance Nichols, Edna D. Lalng. Anni McLel land and Signe Paulson.
