BIG FEATURE IN
WORKMEN'S ACT
Case of Remarkable Aid Given
Accident Victim Who Is Now
J Able Draftsman, Is Cited.
Salem. Dec. 2S. With Tils back
broken and his body paralysed from
the waist down as the result of a
shipyard accident on April 25, 1919,
Louis Anderson. No. 735 Hoyt street.
Portland, is today a competent drafts
man and 'contributing' largely toward
his owa support.
Anderson's ease offers a concrete
example, and a most interesting one.
of the ' remarkable "come backs"
staged by apparenly hopelessly in
jured workmen through the medium of
the physical and vocational rehabili
tation departments of the state indus
. trial accident commission.
But for these departments, entirely
original with th Oregon commission,
and possible only under a compensa
tion system such as Oregon now en
joys. Anderson would today, un
tuntlonably be a helpless cripple
without hope and without an Incentive
in -ife. r As it is he is, in spite of his
broken back and his paralysed body,
filled with Interest in life and enthu
siastically pursuing a vocation entirely
unt bought of before the injury which
incapacitated him from further pur-
rvltig the labors familiar to him prior
to. that accident.
RKAL HELP GIYEI
Ordinarily a man In Anderson's con
t on. without friends to give him the
! twrpital care and the vocational train
ing necessary to fit him for the new
L-odition in which he found himself
! s a result1 of the accident, would have
i i -mained a helpless invalid for the
i remainder of his life. Prior to the
institution of Vhe physhical and voca
tional rehabilitation departments by
the industrial accident commission, in-
-irer men were offered no encourage-
int except that afforded by the usual
! hpepital care and a monthly compensa
tion on which to drag out a necessarily
monotonous existence.
Today the state of Oregon recognizes
. her responsibility to those who have
r B.'crtnoed lire ana iimD in tnaustriai
I i'ccidents as extending farther than the
mere payment of hospital bills- and a
monthly pittance. - "
Although still a cripple. Anderson.
thanks to the state's provision for his
welfare, is able to move about without
: resistance and to follow his new found
vocation that of a draftsman with
an .ever increasing demand for his
rer vices which promises soon to make
him entirely -self-supporting.
BiCK IS ISJUSED
'Anderson was struck across the
! small of the 'back by a falling timber
in a Portland shipyard on April 25.
1919. He 1 had been a patient In a
! hospital nearly a year when the vo
cational rehabilitation law was en
acted as a part of the workmen's compensation-
system. It was soon there-
, after that Will T. Kirk, a member of
the industrial accident commission.
and Frank H. Shepherd, director of
vocational . rehabilitation, interested
I themselves In the case of Anderson as
la prospect for vocational retraining.
: "Wa found a young man about 27
years old, bo despondent -and dejected
that he had lost all interest in life,"
I Commissioner Kirk declared In telling
of his first "Visit to Anderson in the
hospital-: in connection with his pros
pective retraining.
"We sought to interest him In taking
In i) some vocational work that would
occupy bis' time and his mind and
(make - Ma days a little shorter and
a! less dreary. -He turned his face to
jthe waU and steadfastly maintained
, 3m that he was interested In .nothing un-
uess something could be done to get him
iof f the hospital bed and around on ,
crutches at least.

merely a vista of pain-filled years.
not overcome that, but , we found we
could do wonders In spite of that.
At the end of a year's treatment
Anderson walked down the hospital
steps unaided except by his own
crutches and into' the hospital office,
where he really created a sensation, as
all thought he had accomplished the
impossible.
"He is now out of the hospital, liv
ing in a private apartment on the sec
ond floor of a hotel and walks with
crutches up anddow na flight of steps
in going to his meals. He can - also
handle himself very easily in a wheel
chair.
"After we began the treatments and
improvement was noticed, Anderson
became interested in vocational train
ing. He selected mechanical drawing
and drafting. We built for him a
drafting table that would fit over "his
wheel chair, provided him with the
necessary materials and supplies and
employed a tutor from the Benson
Polytechnic school to instruct him.
BECOMES EXPEBT
"He was an apt pupil. He displayed
natural talent and of course applied
himself to the work. In about a year's
time the tutor reported to us that An
derson had made such progress that
he could teach him no more and was
ready for practical commercial work.
"Anderson has been doing commer
cial work in both mechanical drawing
and drafting for some time. He wants
more of it to do. - Of course he cannot
get around on the street, so the work
roust be taken or sent to him.
1 "What a remarkable change We have
seen take place in this young man.
We ,have seen, him lifted from the
depths of despondency and -despair to
a place where hope is renewed and
ambition revived.. He finds he still has
much to, live foar' He is interested in
his work. He greets his friends and
acquaintances with a smile. If any
one has work In his line which. they
can throw his way, 'they will find him
both capable and appreciative.
"Such results as this make the re
habilitation work being done by this
industrial accident commission well
worth while."
While 5 Anderson's , case is undoubt
edly a a j unusual example of the re
markable results being obtained by the
commission in their efforts to render
aid to injured ' workmen, there are
scores of other cases in which appar
ently hopelessly crippled men have
been physically reconstructed and vo
cationally retrained under the Oregon
compensation system.

i .
New Chemistry Department-Will
Be Ready for Use After Re
opening of College.
A complete new Reed college chemis
try laboratory, equipped to accommo
date 50 advanced students, will be
ready for use soon after the reopening
of college.
The laboratory is said to be one of
the most complete and thoroughly
equipped of its kind in any American
college and to equal those In many
purely scientific institutions. It is de
signed for use in quantitative and
qualitative analysis, industrial chem
istry, and research work, and for these
purposes is unexcelled In the North
west. DESKS ARE SPECIAL
The laboratory contains a series of
individual desks, specially designed
by Dr. R. K. Strong and Dri L O.
Baughman of the department of chem
istry, to provide maximum convenience
and facility to th workers
The tops are solid, chemical-proof
hardwood, unbroken by sinks, recep
tacles for waste materials being con
cealed, within the desks and joined to
non-corrosive pipes. . Bach is equipped
with direct and alternating currents,
arranged on non-confUcting circuits,
water and gas, as well as drainage facilities.-
Each cabinet contains drawers for
tools and is surmounted by a glass
enclosed cabinet for chemical supplies.
MEET REQUIREMENTS
Reed laboratory facilities and scien
tific training . meet the requirements
of the seven largest medical schools
and three largest technical institu
tions in the United States, this state
ment holding true with regard to -the
biology and physics departments as
well as the chemistry, according to
President R. P. Scholz.
The department of physics, with Dr.
A. A. Knowlton as head, aims to turn
out men who will be prepared to take
places in the research laboratories of
the large American industrial plants.
Pre-medics students trained in the
biology department, of which Dr. L. E.
Griffin Is head, are accepted at any
medical school in the United States. -

HAfi n
Fill FOR POOR :
SCHOOL URGED
BY SCHOOL HEAD
Superintendent, of Public, In
j struction Says Washington
Behind in Training Teachers.
Olympia, Wash., Dec 2S. Creation
of an "equalization fund" to help out
poorer schools, higher standards for
elementary school teachers, enlarge
ment of the old rigid school districts
into community districts, and stand
ardisation of education in city and
country, are the recommendations Just
made public by Mrs. Josephine Corliss
Preston, superintendent of public in
struction of the state of Washington,
She says in part: - "V -'.
There is need for a substantial
fund to aid districts which,' because of
extreme and ' unusual conditions, are
not sufficiently helped by the general
plan of apportionment. .
"Our program contemplates the en
largement of school districts to co
incide with natural neighborhood cen
ters. The districts in the state would
be reduced from 2400 to 600.
"Washington is near its goal ia the
training- of high school teachers and
far below the goal in the training of
elementary teachers. I recommend a
higher standard of academic and pro
fessional training for teachers in our
public schools and a greater degree
of flexibility in the administration of
the certification law.
"I further recommend that school
district elections be eliminated from
the operation of Chapters 61 and 170,
laws of 1921 ; that all educational work
in special schools supported by the
state be placed under the supervision
of the superintendent of public in
struction ; that the state board of edu
cation be permitted to exempt any
school where adequate supervision is
provided, from the state grammar
school examinations, when in the
Judgment of that body, such an ex
emption will be in the best Interests
of the pupils ; that the teachers' re
tirement fund law be made applicable
to the teachers in all districts In the
state ; that provision be made for the
organization of Junior high schools."
State Colleges -to
Aid in Training of
Vets on Own Lands
State colleges of Oregon. Washing
ton and .Idaho are to cooperate with
the United States Veterans' bureau in
furnishing disabled veterans training
in agriculture on their own land proj
ects with expert Instruction, according
to plans announced Saturday by Ken
neth Lu 'Cooper, Portland manager of
the bureau. Instruction units are being
formed where 15 farm trainees can be
found within a radius of 20 miles, it
was stated.
Cooper announced that three college
Instructors have been assigned to in
struct veterans taking project training
in the state of Washington, two in the
state of. Oregon, and instructors will
be furnished ex-service farmers lri
Idaho as soon as the demand war
rants. . - . i - ' i -l
,. "This plan of having college experts
visit land projects which: are being de
veloped by disabled World war veter
ans was initiated recently in this dis
trict and is being copied in other parts
of the united States," said Cooper.
"The agricultural expert paid by the
state college visits the veteran in his
particular district at least once a week
for a period of two or xnree nours,
each Instructor having from 20 to 25
land students. It means that the dis
abled veteran learning the business of
farming is going to receive' instruc
tions on the latest methods of scientific
and intensive farming without leaving
his project,""
Announcement was made that more
than 200. project; trainees are in the
Pacific Northwest, and approximately
600 are training in agriculture of some
kind.
Survey to
Hospitalization
' Claims Under Way
Survey of all service men in hospi
tals is being undertaken in an effort
to have all compensation claims of
hospitalised war veterans In the Pa
cific Northwest adjudicated before
January 1. The United States Veter
ans' bureau is pushing the campaign
to help the worthy connect their disa
bilities with war service.
There are, now S56 ex-service people
in hospitals in this district, said Ken
neth L. Cooper, local manager of the
bureau. This is an increase of about
40 in the last 10 days. : Forty more
entered hospitals, filling the beds of
others discharged during the same
period of time. . Increased hospitalisa
tion Is expected during the. next two
or three months, - it was announced.
William N. Rydalch of Seattle has
been placed in charge of the compen
sation campaign and will handle cases
at the Cushman hospital. Tacoraa. . He
has as his . assistants C. R. Christie,
1 A. Swift and S. L. Jones, who will
