So Junior Is Starting School?
t.,: i Hpctiripd
for the first time next Monday. The fashion editor tells us
he'll be wearing- long cords rather than the knickerbockers
his male parent affected at the same age but mentally and
socially, the momentous event hasn't changed much m the
Do u havl any clear recollection, parents, of your own
first day in school? We haven't; but from the fact that it is
vague in memory now, we judge it mast have been a rather
hazy and perhaps disturbing experience. VV hats more to the
point and more authoritative, educators who specialize in the
problems if the primary grades tell us that it is. -
i They tell us too that the child's previous attitude about
school, acquired from the remarks of parents and .relatives
and older children, is an important point in determining his
attitude when the big day arrives and to a great extent there
after. Which! brings us to that universal, hackneyed joke
about the boy "creeping like snail, unwilling to school. e
repeat it as a joke and the newspapers, including The
.Statesman, have not been guiltlessbut the child doesn t al
ways recognize a joke as such. Lacking knowledge to the con
trary, he preconceives school as an ordeal, something bound
to be unpleasant and he is not mature enough to recognize
it as a necessity. - . , . , . . ,.
, Perhaps we have exaggerated the picture, but certainly
it U worthwhile to impress the child who is impressionable
with the thought that school is going to be fun, that we en
joyed it when we went to school which is much more likely
to be the fact-and that everything is going to be fine.
; This advice comes a little late to benefit this years
crop of fir'st graders, but educators advise that if a child has
not attended kindergarten, he ought to be taken on ,a visit to
the school once or twice the previous year, so it will not be an
entirely new experience; and if he has never spent a day
away frorii home and family, that such an experience be ar
ranged so that the strain of newness will not be augmented
by the strain of homesickness. Previous experience in attend
ing kindergarten or even Sunday school is helpful.
By the way, don't take our word for it, but find out if the
first graders are wearing long cords. Because and this will
be clearer in memory if you were ever a boy in school
"good" clothes are not nearly so important to a youngster as
"clothes like the other boys are wearing." This is more im
portant to boys than it is to girls, but even little girls don t
like to be so differently dressed as to be conspicuous. All
childreaare conservatives.
As for the learning process, about the best advice is not
to expect too much and especially not to let Junior know you
expect it. The learning process is slow, and he'll be under suf
ficient school pressure and internal pressure not to need any
more from the family. Don't even worry if he's a little slow
er than the rest ; it's not at all an indication that he's
"dumb." But it may possibly be an indication that the school
adjustment is proving difficult and that is just the reason
we have devoted this much space to the problem. How a
cnuo gets nis siarx in scnooi is ireinenuuuaij jiupuimiii il
lation to his later life.
"Ham and" Injures State Credit
If you have an acquaintance who is in the habit of going
around spouting screwy ideas, you may have observed that
his financial credit at the bank is no sounder than his con
versational credit on the curb.
, Calif omians who know that the "ham and eggs" program
is screwy are decidedly worried over the possibility that they
may be in the minority when noses are counted November 7.
Within this potential minority are practically all of the peo
ple who individually or as institution heads might be expected
under normal conditions to loan money to the state government.
The credit of a state or other political subdivision is
based upon the same factors as an individual's credit. One of
these factors is mental stability and dependability. And thus
it has happened that when the state offered something over
three million dollars of registered general fund warrants the
other day, it received no bids. A few days earlier two million
ffcunemployment relief warrants went begging.
,And it isn't because California's public finances are in
any, worse shape than heretofore; true, there are nearly 49
millions in warrants outstanding, but the state had been
. much more heavily in debt prior to August when it retired
warrants in the amount of 28 millions.
The financial community
matures within the next nine
"ham and esnrs" becomes a reality, practically all taxes will
be paid in "$30 Every Thursday" warrants. Thus it is that
the regional catastrophe of California's rabid pension scheme
is having its effect in paralyzing the state s credit, even be
fore the fact." -
Amazing

t. .'.'When I say that I owe America the full realization ot my
education, or the exercise of my democratic liberties, or when 1
say that America owes me an acquaintanceship with these obli
gations, I am-eiraply saying that I owe all these things to myself.
The. question of whether I will pay those obligations amounts
simply to this: whether I would ever default to myself! "
' Viewing-with-alarm the rising generation has ceased to
be the favorite indoor sport it used to be with more elderly
Americans, which is in a way a pity because it obviates the
necessity for a corresponding amount of pointing-with-pride.
Both processes have become more or less passe.
American Youth Forum conducted by American maga
zine offered prizes for the best articles by young people on
"What I Owe America and What America Owes Me." The
paragraph quoted above is the conclusion of the first-prize-winning
article by Hilda Scott, 16, who graduated last June
from the high school at Columbia, Missouri.
The article is an amazingly thoughtful analysis of the
relation of individual to nation ; but since we have ceased to
worry about American youth on that score, it is more to the
point to record that it is equally amazing in its clarity and
forcefulness of expression, leading to the observation that
youth is not only on the right track, but is catching up with
maturity at a rate which should cause the adult world to look
to its laurels. -
Labor Relations' Progress
About the best that can be said about the Pacific coast
longshore labor dispute is that an immediate' crisis has been
averted, the showdown pushed further into the future. Will
ingness of both sides to negotiate and to continue the present
agreement in force while negotiations proceed does represent
however an encouraging improvement in attitude holding out
stronger hope for a mutually satisfactory solution without re
sort to a strike; which would be especially harmful at this
time. bi?: -: ; L
"Whatever the outcome, it does seem at present that em
ployers ami labor on this coast have been learning some valu
able lessons about labor relations and are putting those les
sons into practice. ;. ; '
For that matter the improvement does not appear to be
confined to the west; for have not the warring factions in the
entertainment "labor field come to an agreement ending
thtr jurisdictional strife?- If a squabble involving such tem
peramental people as actors can be settled, there is hope for
all the rest - - f , "

Generation
Bits for
Breakfast
By a. J. HENDRICKS
Rer. George Gary's 9-15-39
diary tells of sale
of the old Mission farm
property to Alanson Beers:
.
(Concluding from yesterday:)
The Oregon Institute came into
possession of the manual labor
school building of the mission
through the sale by Rer. Gary,
acting for the mission board, of
that structure and its land claim
to its trustees for $4000; ot which
13000 was a down payment, the
balance by note.
The Oregon Institute trustees
came by the S3 000 through the
sale ot its building and land claim
on Wallace Prairie to John Lord
Force for that sum. So the Oregon
Institute never used the Wallace
Prairie building for school pur
poses, but opened its first classes
in the building that had been that
of the Indian manual labor school.
on August 13. 1844, with some
five students the first day, but
soon had 20 or more.
The reference by Bishop Bash-
ford to "the removal of their en
tire mission to an isolated station
for their Indian school," having
reference to the change from the
old" mission site to Chemeketa,
site of Salem, sounds strange to
the ears of people here now.
That is, the "old" mission site
was the nigh spot in the Oregon
country then, and Chemeketa was
merely an Indian village or en
campment. And that was the true
relationship of the two locations,
then, strange as it may now sound.
m
As quoted in yesterday's issue,
Bishop Bash ford wrote: "Lee
called a meeting to plan a school
in Chemeketa for the white chil
dren," on "January 17, 1842."
That meeting was in the Lee
house, present 960 Broadway, Sa
lem, still standing, the first resi
dence for whites erected on the
site of the capital city.
That meeting adjourned to the
old mission February 1, 1842, for
various reasons. One was that
several members of the mission
still lived there had not remov
ed to the place which became Sa
lem. Perhaps sentiment had some
thing to do with it.
That adjourned meeting may
have been held in the first little
log house of the original mission.
This writer believes it was there.
That is important, becoming more
so, for the institution which be
came Willamette university was
founded there. But it may have
been in the mission granary, a
favorite meeting place for the
time. Or it may have been in the
hospital. Dr. I. L. Babcock, then
and for nearly a year supreme
judge (practically governor) of
Oregon, under its provisional gov
ernment, at the time lived in the
hospital, which was virtually the
capitol. And Dr. Babcock presid
ed at that meeting, at which what
became Willamette university was
named and organized.
Also, Dr. Babcock was chairman
of the committee of three appoint
ed at the Jan. 17 meeting to call
the meeting at the original mis
sion, the other two being Rev.
David Leslie and Itev. Gustavus
liines: all three were prominent
members of the mission.
It will soon be 1942. In that
year Willamette university will
have its centennial celebration.
Feb. 1, 194 2, the institution will
be 100 years old, from the time
of its founding. We are sure that
place was the original Jason Lee
mission. It would be worth while
to be certain as to the exact spot
where the founding meeting wa3
held.
W hen Bishop Bashford wrote
that the members of the Jason
Lee mission "'put $10,000 of per
sonal subscriptions into the (man
ual labor) Indian school build
ing," he had his wires crossed.
m
lie was thinking of the $3000
or more of first subscriptions for
the erection ot the building in
tended for the Oregon Institute,
work on which was commenced in
1842 and finished in 1843.
The first subscription for that
proposed buuaing was taken on
the Lausanne, in late 1839, as that
vessel sailed on her 13,000 mile
voyage around Cape Horn, from
New York to Fort Vancouver. It
was for $650, and members of the
mission subscribed 3630 of the
sum,, and Rev. Sheldon Dibble,
the only passenger who was not
a Methodist, contributed $20. He
was a missionary of the American
Board mission in Hawaii, and was
a Congregationalism So Willam
ette university is part Congrega
tional. It is also probably the least
narrow institution of learning in
this country-, or any country. It is
American - United States of
America.

Alanson Beers, who had charge
of and who bought the claim of
the missionary society in the old
mission farm, who was he, and to
what state was the missionary so
ciety obliged by its contract to re
turn him? He was a lay member
of the mission, and came as the
blacksmith and instructor to
blacksmithing of Indian students
at the old mission. He became al
so a farmer. He came, with his
wife and three children, arriving
in May, 1837. He was the first
blacksmith: perhaps the first
blacksmith that was ever sent to
a foreign mission. So Mr. Beers
was entitled to be returned borne
to Connecticut, if he wished, with
his wife and three children, per
haps six. But he chose to remain,
and became a fine, upstanding
pioneer settler. The Beers clan in
Oregon is numerous.
m "a,
Mr. Beers was a close friend
of JasOn Lee, shown by the fact
that the great missionary leader
presented him with his desk.
which is still in the family.
I The fact Is also shown by the
last written correspondence of Ja
son Lee, in which one finds that
Mr. Beers was trusted with the
intimate affairs and business In
Oregon of the -suffering martyr,
and that Lee had attended to mat
ters" In'" Connecticut concerning
the interests there ot the Beers
family.

Chapter 29
(Continued )
The family was Quite content.
Mary was going to be married in
the fall. Her father was doing well
and ber mother's health was much
improved. Jack was Btlll going to
school and helping his father.
For the first time In her life,
Mike's money was her own, and
she had invested some ot it in
clothes. It was an investment
hich had paid her excellent divi
dends. As for Bob, he had been
devotion itself. In the office they
worked together with perfect har
mony. He had become an integral
part of her life. Lately, Mike had
come to the decision that she
would marry Bob some day.
Slump?
Mike went down to the drug
store on the first floor ot their
building for a sandwich and a
glass of milk at noon hour. The
men standing next to her, munch
ing sandwiches, were in a redhot
argument over Handsome's horri
ble slump.
"I tell you he's lazy, He's been
drinking, that's why he can't
pitch!" one of the men declared.
"That's a lie. He's got a sore
arm!" another retorted.
"Sore arm, my eye! If he'd be
have himself, stay away from the
whiskey, his arm wouldn't bother
him! He's just about cost us the
pennant already.'
There was talk about Hand
some's appearances in certain
Harlem night spots, about his
dancing until the small hours of
the morning In a smart roadhouse.
Tales from Mid-west
The team was on the road, play
ing in Detroit that week. . . . From
the mid-west came stories of an
other quarrel between Ace and
Handsome. Ace sent to New York
for Wish Malone and asked him to
join the club. Owner Crisp felt
that Ace was being too severe,
and the stiuation ,had split the
club into two factions. The young
er boys worshiped Handsome. He
could do no wrpng. Consequently,
Ace's discipline suffered. For Ace
could no longer handle Handsome.
When Wish arrived at Detroit
the following morning he went
stragiht to the hotel. Ace was up,
pacing the floor when Wish came
in.
"I'm desperate. He's kicked the
pennant out the window for us.
There is nothing more I can do. 1
give up. See if you can handle
him."
Wish tried to talk to Barnes
about the situation, but Ace was
In suc.h a state that he could no
longer think clearly on the sub
ject.
Trouble Shooter
"I'll stick along with him today
at the park. See if I can find out
what's the trouble." Ace just
threw up his hands and took some
more stomach medicine. When
Wish walked into the locker room
at the stajdium two hours later,
Regan wai not there. He greeted
all the boys, asked Marvin where
Handsome; was.

"I hope toe's run away," Mar
vin remarked. "But I'm afraid
he's just not up yet He's a little
late getting out these days. It's
that bad arm!" Marvin's voice
was full ot sarcasm.
Wish shook his head. Handsome
came just in time to throw him
self into his uniform and get ont
on the bench. His eyes were blood
shot. It was plain he had been
drinking heavily, and for several
days. Barnes ignored Handsome
entirely, hadn't spoken to him
for four days.
While the game was on. Wish
and Handsome watched it from
the dugout. All the time Wish was
waiting for a chance to ask Hand
some the pertinent question. Fin
ally, he came out bluntly:
"What happened-to you, Lar
ry?" "I'm alt right," the pitcher said
curtly.
Records Don't Lie
"Your pitching record doesn't
show that!"
"I've got a bad arm."
"What from, lifting drinks?."
Handsome's eyes blazed. He got
up and walked away from Wish.
Later that night, Wish found
Handsome over at a small bar on
Wayne street. He was all alone,
pouring whiskey Into his glass
from the bottle that was left on
the bar. He seemed glad to see
Wish. Something seemed to amuse
him.
"You wanted to know what is
the matter with me All right, I'll
show you! Come on along with
me." They went down the block
to the hotel.

went
up to Handsoie's

Handsome came in, Iris snubbed
them both. She did manage to ask
Handsome why he had not come
back to the hotel for dinner. The
situation was awkward. The
guests, under Handsome's lower
ing glances, left as quickly as
they could. But Handsome Insist

Storms and Scares
Iris was furious. "You come

"Simply because I have no oth

I am broke. Isn't that pretty?"
"Broke? What do you mean?"
Wish did not believe that Hand

have earned $50,000 last year.
"He isn't. He just says that.

things I want." snapped Iris.
Handsome laughed and poured
himself . a drink. "Such as dia

The Athenia and Mr. Kalia
Mr. Frits Kuhn, the pain la

the cause of rage to some and of
laughter for
most, has come
out from the sha
dow cast upon
him by a heart
ies s indictment
for embenle
ment to give his
version of the
sinking ot the
Athenia.
It seems, ac
cording to Mr.
Kuhn, that "the Pore Tnocaneow
Athenia was sunk, at the orders
of the First Lord of the British
Admiralty, Winston Churchill. In
absolute disregard . of American
lives intrusted to British ships"
and for the purpose of getting this
country into the war.
This statement of Mr. Kuhn's
reveals as well as anything what
the whole war is about. It is
whether Europe shall be govern
ed by a mentality akin to Winston
Churchill's or whether it shall be
governed by a mentality akin to
that of Mr. Kuhn. who is a faith
ful reflection of the men whom he
serves.
Mr. Kuhn believes that he can
lay the Athenia on Winston
Churchill's doorstep, because Mr.
Kuhn is totally uncapable o! un
dcrstanding Mr. Churchill. He is
totally incapable of understanding
a patriot who is generous, a spirit
that is chivalrous, an aristocratic

sion the honor of England. Mr.
Churchill believes, with almost
religious intensity, that the Eng
lish spirit in its finest manifesta
tions is the world's greatest hope
tor decency and freedom, and
among all Englishmen none is
more forthright, downright and
outright than Mr. Churchill.
He has often been erratic; he is
ornery; he is impossible to lead:
he breaks the discipline of party
lines; he is so brilliant that the
English, who, by and large, dis
trust brilliance, are afraid of him
in time ot peace.
' Mr. Churchill, too, believes In
the Leadership Principle. He is a
doubtful democrat; his spirit is
Aristotelian; he believes in aris
tocratic government on tbe wide
basis of popular consent, and he
would define an aristocrat as a
men who is willing to take upon
himself, with no thought of fame
or gain, the responsibilities which
the weaker shun.
He believes that leadership
cannot and should not be forced.
It must accrue to a man on the
strength of his record. He must
not usurp responsibility the
usurpation of power is gangster
Ism, in Mr. Churchill's mind.
Mr. Churchill, the maverick,
was out of office for years. He is
back as First Lord of the Admir
alty because from his seat in the
House of Commons one little
seat among 615 he has for a de
