THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING. JANUARY 30 1921. 8 CHILD'S FANTASY OF FOSTER CHILD RELATION GENERAL Instructor of Psychology Finds Great Percentage of Students Recall Experience Witrr Idea. Of particular Interest to parents the stiidy made,iy. Dr. Edmund S. Conklin, head of the department of psychology In . the University of Oregon, of the foster-child fantasy the notion among: children that they have a different and greater parentage than their,- own.; This tudy has Just been published by the university in a 20-page leaflet! Dr.. Conklin sent out a . questionnaire and received 904 returns, 640 frbm juniors and seniors in. eight different Oregon high schools and 264 from students of the University of Oregon. Of these. 258, 87 girls and 171 boys, recalled some experience with the fantasy.. . ; - - . " 'j .". . ) - The following' reasons were given by these -students for believing ihey. were i.ot their parents' children : .Suggestions from their reading and observation, of actual cases - actual or supposed mis treatment; .peculiar' family circum stances, such as prolonged absence from parents, parental disagreement, great difference in children's ages, or th pre vious V marriage of one parent ; acci dental causes, such is the parent mis understand big the child or the child rniHunderstanding the remarks of adults ; activity- of mind caused by being too much alone or having j noth ing to !o ; growth stimulus, such as early adolescent development and . de sire for the different;, absence of 1 men tal or physical family - resemblance, and miscellaneous causes such as self-pity, lure of- elsewhere or the wild, -mood, desire for older brother, vivid dream, j . According to Dr. Conklin. a striking Instance of thia "foster child fantasy" is Opal Whiteley, author .of "The Story of Opal. In which she denies her parel'it- .age and claims "angel parents."

Field Artillery associatioi, . re cently formed, at the college. Sterling W. Smith, president : B. V. - Schumacher, secretary, and Robert Kruger, treasurer. CJeorKe A.

Membership is limited to men who at tended the field artillery summer Icant'p at Camp Knox. Kentucky. - . j I Taxpayer Is Shylock-Antonio Mayor Cast as Portia-Judge An audience of, more than 50 men and women, city property owners, were given a modernized version of the "Merchant of "Venice" In tabloid form In the council chamber Wed nesday that should give Shakespeare awonderful Inspiration1 for a movie scenario. That is In the event the long lamented IJard of Avon's shade is thinking seriously of entering the modern art of: massacring legiti mate drama. j - Mayor Baker as befits a reformed stage carpenter, than whom there were none better in bis day played the dual role of the. Duke of Venice and Portia. Adam Diller, East Salmon street prop erty owner and improvement protestant, was cast first as Shylock- and suddenly, by that desterous stage director, George 1m Baker, transformed by some pecu liar metamorphosis into a persecuted Antonio, merchant of Venice. , ; Again did the opportunist stage di rector show his ability to meet an emer gency when Commissioner Bigelciw was transformed from one of the 5 silent jurors in the court scene to a super charged substitute for Shylock, who had been suddenly cast for the Merchant of Venice for the finale. But, on with the play.1. f , ,: SHYLOCK PLEADS WITH JUDGE The property owners in, the neighbor hood affected ,by i the proposed exten sion of East Salmon street from the east line of Sunnyside .addition to the west line of Glencoe park had gathered in the council chamber for the second time to protest . the property assess ments. All save s one objected to the assessment on the ground that it was too, high. The one non-objector was Adam DUler. The city must purchase a certain part of Dlller's homestead to make the extension, and the price of fered the non-objector for his property, namely, $3370. was the principal objec tion raised by the vociferous majority. - City Auditor' , Funk, Commissioners Barbur and Pier and Mayor Baker had agreed that the price offered Diller for his land --was fair and just, both to the property owners assessed and to Diller. Becoming imbued with the spirit of pro testing,. Adam conceived the idea of demanding a higher price. Following Dlller's statement to that effect. Mayor Baker casually inquired if he had read "that beautiful drama, the Merchant of Venice." Diller ignored the interroga tion, i Taking his cue at this point to assume the new role. Commissioner Bigelow de claimed : "Wait,: since thia man wanted to have the price increased I am in favor of deferring payment : until we Investigate. I think we are paying him too much, and since objections are in order I'll object to paying the 'price agreed." ,- ', . MOB PICKS UP CUE Diller, suddenly I transformed into' an Antonio on the defensive, begged the council not to consider the Bigelow pro posal. "I am willing to settle .on the original price f ixed i I ask all you gentlemen, did I not Bay so?"' "Say so" was evidently the cue to the mob, for' jibes, , denunciations and multitudinous charges of mercenary in tentions "'- hurled at the Shylock now tomed Antonio. - ! .Whereupon the Duke of Venice role was discarded by the mayor, who sud denly assumed the role of Portia: "Stop this hammering a man because - you have him down ; it isn't fair," declared Baker. "He is entitled to consideration as well as the rest of you.1 PORTIA DEFENDS ASTOKIO i j- , "This man is getting old. You want to cut his old home up for a public improvement. The other property own ers want the improvement and are entitled to it, but this man would , be content to live happily undisturbed on his old home for the remainder of his days. Isn't he entitled to some consid eration? ' - ; . ' "Since . the city is breaking up his home, or at least encroaching upon it, this man is suffering more than the mere1 monetary damage to his place, and that should , be considered in ( paying him. Suppose : some of you objectors were deprived of the home for - which you had planned and toiled for years? Consider that." J Then, from one of the courtroom mob cast, a youthful property owner as sumed the role of Bassanio, for whom the Merchant of Venice had placed him self at the mercy of the councilmanio Shylock. "Mr. Mayor, I think you are right, and as one of the property owners assessed I favor paying this man the agreed price of $3370." ASTOSIO WIXS CASE ! ; .Following r the announcement; Com missioners Barbur and ' Pier, cast as silent jurors, -; immediately moved that it so be. The erstwhile Duke of Venice Portia quickly assumed another role, that of one of the silent jurors to take the place of . Commissioner Mann, a member of the troupe away on a vaca tion in Salem and the jury voted to defy the merciless Shylock (played by Bigelow) and awarded the Merchant of Venice (played . by Adam Diller , in the finale) the price first agreed. Commissioner Bigelow. evidently con fused over being recast from a silent juror to the role of Shylock, vehemently cried for the city's pound of that is, for a reduction of the purchase price, as the courtroom characters trailed out of the council chamber.
