If the children of the public schools in
our eity grow up to' be selfish mea and
women it will not be because the prin
ciplea or generosity have not been in
stilled into their minds. Last week,
hearing that Superintendent Gardner,
of the Boys and Girls Aid Society, bad
appealed for help, the teachers of some
of the primary rooms made it a point to
mention the fact to their pupils, many
of whose parents readily responded, and
quite a sum was ttiiw raised and sent to
tne institution at Portland, it was a
commendable move, and will certainly
tell in the character of the men and
women of the future.
The patriotic entertainment at the
Christian church last evening was
very creditable affair, and the treasury

throughout, there being several original
and unique tableaux iutroduced, while
the patriotic selections otherwise were
highly acceptable to the audience. As
a slight diversion, six of the yonng peo
pie had prepared a humorous dialogue
entitled "Peleg and Patience,"-which
was exceedingly well rendered. At the
conclusion of the program, refreshments
were served in the basement of the
church, and a social hour was spent to
good advantage by all present.

foolish than neglecting their care is the
habit of patronizing eyery person who

purporting to be an oculist who can not

guessing games now so much in vogue

was that which engaged 4hre attention of
a number of young lalies who were

evening in honor . Miss Wilson, of
Springfield, Ohio, Who is a guest at her

answered by the name of some familiar

"Who .performed the ceremony?"
"Jack in the Pulpit." Miss Louise
Ruch proved herself well versed in flow
er lore and was presented with a beauti
ful painted picture frame, while Miss
Laura Thompson, less fortunate in
guessing, was equally fortunate when
the prizes were given. A number of
musical "elections were rendered during
the evening and the refreshments were
extremely tempting. Before parting
Mrs. Wilson took a number of flash

will be treasured by? Miss Wilson and

WHERE SHALL AID BE GIVEN?
Do We Help Those Wno Have Mo Care to
Help Themselves?
The question of UBt how much as
sistance should be given men who travel
the country over and infest our cities
claiming that it is impossible to secure
employment and asking help of those
who are more fortunately situated, is a
greatly controverted one, especially be
tween kind-hearted house-wives and
their husbands, the latter claiming that
the least encouragement given them is
best for them and the country in which
they live. The Dalles has of late months
been remarkably free from such visitors,
but in former years as many as eleven
of these self-invited guests have been
fed in one day by women, who in the
fear of turning away the wheat with the
tares, , have granted every request
made.
The Oregonian yesterday in discussing
the matter, took sidea against the 5-cent
restaurants, eoup kitchens, 1-cent dishes
ana lunch counters, -claiming that so
long as men can live around town for
nothing, or next to mothinz, . they will
do so, while contractors fairly beg for
workmen. There is plenty of work at
railroad building, grubbing, quarrying,
etc., but scarcely a man can be found
who is willing to give up '"city life" and
wield the pick and -shovel in the sec
tions where such work is to be had.
How often have parallel cases been
encountered in our own city, when day
after day are we requested for "hand
outs" and at the sarnie time farmers in
the interior are advertising far and near
for harvest hands.
Not only does this question apply to
the men, but time alter time when our
charitable institutions have been ap
pealed to for help for destitute families
and responded liberally, have those who
go as messengers of tuercy found grown
up daughters etandiug reaay to accept
the aid given, never inquiring aa to the
number of calls made tor household help.
Frequently it is discovered that the very
clothes given have been donated by
some woman or girl who has stood for
ten-bours a day in stores or offices, work
ing far harder for her daily bread than
would these strong girls be required to
do in some family, where, when her
work is -done she will find hours which
are her's to rest or spend aa she may
like.
Not that we wonld advocate the idea
of lessening th work of charity or ceas
ing to give aid t those who are destitute.
One of the circumstances which made
Thursday the best Thanksgiving day
spent in many years in Oregon was the
fact that everywhere was this grand
work made to predominate over every
eel fish thought. But for fear of en
couraging indolence, is not the idea of
the Portland employer a good one, when
he advocates looking into the worthiness
of subjects for ; charity and inquiring
whether or not they might procure em
ployment, before promiscuously giving
aid.

Thanksgiving day were the parents of

away at Manila a day or two before, no

from letters received a short time before

the real cause. His home was in Port
