for the framers of the constitu

around' free because, there was no
official money to pay their bills.
He was the first. Indian-. agent " in
Oregon; he was rated as a man
who the I Indians could trust im-plicity-
and; there have been few
in the whole Northwest for whom
the Indians could say as much.
He was of the eort who give honor
and character to a state and city;
the naming of , this splendid school

was a happy and gracious thought.

ports received by Hon, William
Sloan; provincial commissioner of
fisheries. Canneries along the

are working day and nig"ht shifts
in an effort to take care of the
catch. ' i
- The catch of sockeye, Mr. Sloan
said, will be the heaviest in years.
The marked increase in quantity
this year will mean greater pros

The total value of the fisheries

VEEK-DAY RELIGIOUS COURSE j
W SENT OUT, BY MR. CHURCHILL
A course of study for the week
day religious school which was
prepared by A. F. BIttner of Port
land, isbeing distributed by Sup
erintendent of Public Instruction
J. A. Churchill. The proposed
plan for conducting the week-day
religious school Is explained in the
general statement given in the
pamphlet by Superintendent Chur
chill as follows: J i
Tpo many people think' of the
end, of education , as being citizen
ship, parenthood. Industrialism, or
trade. , t
"Education should be regarded
as being development of man in
the full roundness of character, in
all beauty of body, of Intellect of
heart, of will. Tie end of edu
cation must be character, based on
right habits of moral conduct.
'A good system of education
will not only develop the mental
and the physical man, but the
spiritual as well. Without giv
ing spiritual values along wth the
mental and physcal, a system of
education is materialistic and will
fail to advance in civilization the
people in it, and prepare them for
the highest form of self-govern-:
ment.
"In America, church and state
are separated for air. time. The
, Bible : can not be taught in the
' public schools since we. are a
: people of mixed faith, and the in
terpretation of the Bible . - the
school, when not the interpreta
tion in the home, might precipit
ate factional strife in the com
taunity, and -weaken the teacher's
influence with the child the chief
I obligation of the school.
"An adequate 'system of educa
tion must provide for t "'- tn
: religious nature of childhood, and
the plan of the week-day religious
school will t;ive suchT training
-without doing violence to the faith
of the home. To the end that
finer moral and spiritual values
may be seclred by establishing in
Oregon boys and gins those vir
tues that make for, clean living
and right thinking; the depart
ment of education, through this
course of study, is making it pos
sible. for school districts to give
religious instruction through ther
public schools."
The week-day religious school Is
defined as follows: ;
"A week-day religious school Is
one? organized and financed by a
church, or group of churches,
which pupils, with their parents'
permission, will attend on school
time. .' -. v i j. i; '. ;.;. .; u
. Minimum requirements for a
week-day religious school are: J
"(a) The teacher must hold,
a certificate issued by the super
intendent of public instruction in
Oregon, authorizing the holder to
teach in the week-day " religious
school. A board of seven exam
iners will pass upon the sufficien
cy of an anplicant's preparation
for the certificate, and recommend
to the superintendent of public
instruction for or against its is
suance. Tne mmum " prepara
tion required is six years of
school work byond the eighth
grade, an adequate knowledge of
the subject matter, and a train
ing for imparting religious in
struction. ; Blanks , upon which
application for a certificate may
be made will be mailed from the
office of the superintendent ; of
public instruction.
VVa )The teacher must receive
an adequate : remuneration for
her services, and; the budget for
the school muBt be prepared and
sati- factorily underwritten. "
f V .(c). Since the children are
attending the school on public
school time, public school authori
ties must have control over the
children while going to, from and
attending the classes.
"(d) The graded course of
study, as herein outlined, must be
followed:"" The ( outline are the
minimum amount of work requir
ed to be done, and the authorities
of the week-day religious school
may supplement with such instruc
tion as they may desire to have
given. -i I t r :
".(e) The ( school must: be
properly lighted, heated, ventilat
ed and equipped for school work.
"Suggested lesson materials and
helps are listed at the end of the
course."; : j ; :
i Organization of work under the
course of study is outlined as fol
lows: f,;; j ' : . - .
' "A week-day religious school
continue throughout seven months
of the school i year, giving the
school authorities in a school dis
trict one month for organization
at the beginning of the year, and
one month in whieh to close np
the work at the end of tbe year,
unlnterruputed by the week-day
religious lessons. A week-dal
religious school may take the pe
xfbd once jor twice each week, de
pending upon th'e school facilities
for caring; for the situation. t
: "The course of study by years
has been divided into two parts,
with f twenty-eight lessons in each
part. ; One of the parts iay be
used by each grade, or the mat
erial in both parts may be used in
adjuEting a once-a-week program.
Tho aim in building-the course
was to furnish ample back-ground
for the character development of
boys and girls, to avoid any em
phasis on any doctrine or creed, to
acquaint boys and girls with thea
main facts of the Bible, and to'
give them a knowledge of. Bible
characters, Bible stories and Bible
literature.
Salt as a Preventive for f
Goiter Is Recommended
f That the State cf Oregon has
an abnormally high per cent! of
individual affected with goiter
has been a matter of common
knowledge, for years, but only re
cently! has any particular atten
tion been given to it. Iodine ; is
necessary for the proper function
of the thyroid gland. When the
Storage of iodine in the thyroid
gland gets below 0.1 the gland
begins to enlarge and a goiter is
formed, j It has been shown be
yond doubt that endemic goiter is
due to a deficiency of iodine ! in
the . water and food in goiterous
districts. It is also, known that
beginning goiters have frequently
been made to disappear by the use
of iodine. Goitre is prevalent in
cattle,! horses, sheep, hogs, and
poultry of goiterous regions- ' A
very small amount of iodine taken
with the food prevents the deve
lopment of goiter in these animals.
Endemic gaiter is definitely and
easily preventable. ; Existing en
largement. may be frequently
caused .todisappear throug admi
nistration of some form of iodine
As to the form of iodine to be
usea, it should be low in cost
and in a form that will insure its
regular use. The chocolate iodine
tablet taken once a week has been
found preferable to the saturation
method . of giving iodine once or
twice a year, ,
Next to water: common salt is
the most 'universally used article
of food. Most salt brines from
which salt is crystallized contain a
small amount of Iodine, hut in the
