Animated discussion of the tenure Of teachers as the law exists In Ore gon and the proposed amendments to that law occupied the attention of the Oregon Civic league at its lunch eon meeting Saturday at the Hotel Benson. Every table was filled and the balcony was crowded with the overflow which could not be served. W. A. Dickson spoke in support of the proposed amendments, but set forth his personal views rather than the pro visions of the amendments. John C. Veatch opposed the amendments, which, he said, provided for the trial of a teacher before the school ,board rather than, a 'disinterested commission, as at present provided; COMMISSION PREFERRED He claimed that a fair trial could not be given a teacher except by a commis sion wholly outside the school organiza tion. He said one of the chief troubles lies In the failure of principals to make charges against inefficient teachers and back; them up. He said the present law has given the teachers, a feeling of se curity that has left their minds free for their work and .that the excellence of that work Is reflected in the fact that there is greater efficiency in Port land schools today than ever before. A lively discussion followed, in which Frank L. Shull, the school director who is author of the proposed amendments, spoke in their defense, declaring them to be in accord with the ideas of the greatest educators of he country. Ar thur M. Churchill also spoke on behalf of the proposed amendments. SPEAKERS ADD PEP Eugene Smith injected a dash of pep by declaring thaf -either someone who was actuated by personal and ulterior motives or Influenced by someone with these motives, was responsible for these amendments, and Hamilton Johnstone in facetious remarks characterized the members of the school board as "gentle despots" which got a big laugh. State Treasurer O. P. Hoff, Mrs. Alexander Thompson and Mrs. Jennie Richardson spoke for the bill as it stands. Mrs. Sadie Orr-Dunbar, executive sec retary of the Oregon Tuberculosis asso ciation, told of the public health pro gram of that organization, which will initiate its annual sale of Christmas seals this week. At the league meeting next Saturday, Commissioner of Educa tion P. P. Claxtom will speak.

MOURNED BY SCORES 1 a E Miss Abbie Wright Miss Abbie Wright, Sunnyside teacher who died last Tuesday, was one of the most prominent grade teachers in the city. During her 23 years' teaching ex perience, '16 of which were at Sunny- side, she was held in high esteem by pupils and fellow teachers. She always enthusiastically supported any of the activities allied with school work, such as government club work for school children, parent-teacher association and welfare work. It was greatly through her efforts, in cooperation with the parent-teacher association, that brought Sunnyside school into such favorable notice at Gresham fair through its ex hibit. Miss Wright was a member of the Oregan Agricultural College Alumni as sociation, 'and at the time of her death was secretary and fifth vice president of the Portland branch of the National Federation of College Women. Last summer she represented Oregon at the biennial of the Federated Women's Clubs at Des Moines, Iowa.

TORONTO IS STIRRED WAITING FOR DOUGHTY Toronto, Nov. 27. Not In many years has every strata of community life in Toronto been so profoundly stirred In any event than the arrest in Oregon City, Or., early this week and expected homecoming on Monday next of John Doughty, secretary to Ambrose Small, millionaire theatrical man of this city, missing almost a year. . Doughty, in charge of Detective In spector Mitchell, reached Chicago late tonight after an all day train journey from St. Paul. Inspector Mitchell and his prisoner will remain in Chicago un til Sunday afternoon when they leave for Toronto and are due to reach here early Monday morning. To outwit curious crowds that will gather' at the 'depot and on the streets to see Doughty, police officials are un derstood to have perfected plans to take him from the- train at a point outside the city and convey h.-.-., closely guard ed, to police headquarters, where he will remain until his preliminary trial. which will likely take place on theV exact date one year later than his employer. Small, so mysteriously disappeared. Inspector Wallace, who left Toronto last Thursday and has been in Chicago since attempting to locate the missing bonds, met Inspector , Mitchell and Doughty on their arrival there and will relieve Inspector Mitchell of his five- day ceaseless vigil over his prisoner since they left Portland, during which period Mitchell, having obtained no rest is now practically exhausted. Result of Inspector Wallace's search for missing bonds- in Chicago has not been disclosed by police authorities here, although It Is believed police are working on a prom ising clue.
