J7TNA la a school for the sub
normals, the little kiddies who
find ths pace In the regular schools
llttln too faator them. Formerly,
Johnny or Mary Just stayed In the
first or the second grade for several
years until they finally passed school
age. Teacher classed them as "lasy
mentally but since ttfey didn't
bother much, let them stay In the
room.
About nine years ago the "ungraded"
rooms were crested. Where the classes
are small, the children are given greater
personal attention tn mastering the vexing-
problems pf education. Etna is the
east, side center for such education.
- Etna is a portable building with five
rooms, two for the boys, two for the
girls and an industrial room in the cen
ter. Abou CO children are enrolled, com
ing from all parts of the city. The
school day Is a little shorter for Btna
youngsters than for those in other
schools, since they do not come until t
O'clock and leave at 2 p. m. t
Miss Ida Manley. principal, and her
assistants consider the case of each
child separately and endeavor to assist
him along the lines most suited to hla
needs. Discipline is different from that
in an ordinary school. - Jimmy is rest
less and will, not sit in one seat long at,
a time. During a single recitation pe-
rlod he will probably change seats sev
eral times. Class Instruction takes the
form of something that will Interest the
children.
When a Journal representative called
the big boys were having a guessing
game of some sort.
"There Is something In this room that
has four legs, that will not move," read
one youngster. Immediately all hands
were waving in the air. "It's a desk,"
exclaimed -one. "No, It's a table," said
another.
In the room for the Smaller boys there
was great excitement. They were learn
ing a story about some little kids. "The
first little kid hid under the -.
"Table," said one. And thus It went
until they had guessed where every one
of the little kids hid. The next day they
were going to act the story out, each of
the boys taking the part of a kid and
the teacher the wolf. The stove was to
be an o-en.
The children all love dramatics and
take the greatest delight In acting out
parts.
The teacher was grading some writing
exercises. She railed Austin. "Isn't
that good?" said the boy proudly to the
visitor, pointing to his own work.
Some of the children are backward In
one line of endeavor and ahead In an
other. Some of them can read excel
lently, but cannot do numbers. One lit
tle boy finds It hard to coordinate fig
ures, although he sells newspapers and
hue no trouble whatever In making
change.
One of the students Is from a Russian
family, and although he Is retarded men
tally, his nlmhle fingers earned him 17
a day during the prune season picking
prunes. Some days he picked as many
as 40 boxes.
One lad will give wrong answers to
a problem until he exhausts them, be
fore giving the correct answer.
"How many are four and three V
asks the teacher.
"Five." "Nine." "Six." answers the
hoy. Upon being told to go to his seat
until he is ready to try harder, he says,
"Seven. Now are you satisfied 7"
In the Industrial room is a motley of
articles. There are the stoves and do
mestic science department, the sewing
machine, the loom, the pottery making
equipment, the manicuring table for the
girls are taught manicuring and all the
other interesting subjecs of Industrial
art. Each noon the cooking class serves
hot soup to the school at a charge of two
cents a bowl. The girls are making
themselves garments of all sorts, they
are weaving rugs for sale, they are man
ufacturing nets of various sorts when
the school can afford to buy the rope,
besides making all sorts of unique
Christmas gifts.
The United States forest service has
received four new motion picture films
from Washington, D. C, which are avail
able for use Sin any of the Portland
schools having motion picture machines.
Subjects are : "Work of the Forest Rang
er." "Lumbering Lodgepole Pine In the
Arapahoe National Forest," "Reforesta
tion or the National Forest" and "Graz
ing Industry on the National Forest."

A Jolly Trip
Dorothy Briner of Glencoe school
wrote a letter last week In her language
work, describing a trip she made up
Larch mountain last summer.
"We climbed Larch mountain," she
said, "and I'M admit It was no easy
Job. We caught the train to Bridal
Veil and from there we took a bus to
Palmer, a little logging came about
eight and one-half miles from the
summit of Larch mountain. They piled
us on the logging, train and with a
Jerk It started off. with the result we
lost our loaf of bread. It went so fast
that when, going over trestles it would
take your breath away. After winding
farther up in the mountains you could
look down and see the valleys below,
which made a wonderful sight
' "When our seven-mile Journey cams
to an end, we were one mile from the
summit. After reachina- the ton. I
knelt down upon the ground like Co-,-r
lumbui did when ho discovered the New
World. Instead of kissing the soil. I
reeted.
The next day a forest ranger took
us over to the pinnacle, which ts a- hugs
bluff S09 feet in elevation, overlooking
beautiful valleys and canyons. If jrou
telT, you would have to be picked v
in a sack. - ftn gohng home we . went

Funnyisra
Many funny things happen at Glencoe
and last week both teachers and pupils
scratched their heads and Jotted down
some of them. Here is one:
Teacher : "James, what have you. in
your mouth T"
James: "A button. I have to keeTit
there so I won't lose it"
A teacher tells this one:
The hard words of the morning read
ing lesson were on the board when the
small boy took his seat in the after
noon. He looked st the board with a
troubled expression for a few minutes
and his lips moved. Soon his hand was
up.
( Teacher: "What is it Tommy?"
Tommy: "Please, may I erase those
words? I keep saying them to myself
and they are making me sick."
Jane Cookman of the A class said:
"The other morning I lay in my bed in
my own room. As the door was open
and my brother sleeps in my -mother's
room. I heard my brother ask my mother
if any of our relatives came over on the
May Pole.'.'
Louise Moorhead said that a girl in
the history class asked the teacher if
Sandy Hook wasn't a rich Dutchman.
On Columbus day, a teacher of the
2 B class asked her pupils what day it
was. To ielp them, she eaid: "Now,
who discovered America ?' After think
ing a while. Jean raised her hand and
answered proudly, "Robinson Crusoe I"
The teacher was telling her class how
the sparrows were brought over to
America to exterminate the worms, and
how they multiplied so fast they didn't
know which was the worse. When she
got that far she asked Johnny which
was the worse and Johnny said : "Please,
ma'am, I never had the sparrows."
Aged ISO last December, Mrs. Slsson,
Mansfield, has Just made an aeroplane
flight over London. "I feel fins," she said
when she alighted. "When can I ro up
agatft?"
HAPPY little maids from school putting over unique initiation into the Philexion Literary society erf Lincoln high. The event
took place Friday morning on Broadway, the face of the initiates and their mentors rivaling the sunshine as the merry
troop paraded toward the school, while staid and downhearted pedestrians stopped to smile and think back to the days when
they, too, were young and sprightly. ?i

little street pageant of the girls of the
Phiolexlon society, Friday morning. But
it was an initiation. Just the same, when
12 sprightly lassies of the Lincoln high
school took the oath of fealty and
brightened the day for many a down
hearted early morning pedestrian.
The girls undergoing the ceremony
were required to wear their coats front

their fur wristlets around their anklea
This process took place at Broadway
end Yamhill streets, where hundreds of
golng-to-work people gathered and
watched with reminiscent looks.
Then the already-members and the
about-to-be members fell Into lockstep
and trooped past the old church and the
Heilig theatre and so on toward the high
school to be there in time for classes.
Some of the girls were terrified when
they saw a photographer "shooting" the
happy scene and began to worry lest,
perhaps, they were making too much of
a show.
But hundreds of soul weary folk who

Is sent to each class room in the. fall
and changed fpr a different set in Febru

Interest in reading is stimulated In
the rural children by the issuance of
reading certificates to thorn who have
read at Ipast five of the prescribed list
of books. In the city schools book re
view contests are held, each year in the
S-B classes and two from each school
are chosen to compete with other
