There was also another problem to be solved. Between 2G00 and 1600 B. C. Egypt was overrun by a horde of Asiatic conquerors known as the Hyksos. Having subjugated Egypt, rhey built a city In the fertile land of Goschan, which they called Avarls. This city has never been discovered, but Professor Petrle has found the re mains of a camp city at Tel-el-Jehu-dlyah. Another Important , discovery was the finding of the second store city built by the Israelites and called Ram ses. It was identified by Its ruins at Tel-el-Retabeh.

Institution Receives Less Titan Half Its Support From the State -During Five Years Nineteen Children Were Received by the Society From Umatilla County: Motto of the So ciety Is, "It Is Wiser and Less Ex pensive to Save Children Than to Punish Criminals." After having finished" his labors here for the present. J. Teuscher. Jr., agent for the Boys' and Girls' Aid So ciety, left this morning for La Grande. Before leaving. Mr. Teuscher gave the following account of the for mation of an advisory hoard for this county: "Last evening there was organized In Pendleton, for Umatilla county, an advisory board of the Boys' and Girls Aid Society of Oregon, with head quarters at Portland. This board con sists of the following persons: Mrs. C. F. Colesworthy, president: H. B. Collier, treasurer; Dr. C. J. Smith, Mrs. A. J. Owen, and Superintendent Frank K. Welles. These are people who are well known for their good Judgment and philanthropic spirit, and they will be of valuable assistance to this Institution, which has received and cared for nearly 3000 children who were homeless, or abused, or neglected, or In danger of Imprison ment - . . -- "It should be remembered that this Is not a state, but a charitable Insti tution, and that the state pays less than half of the yearly expenses. Charitable people, membership fees, the yearly donations at Thanksgiving from the public schools and contrl-. buttons from a few counties furnishing; the principal part of the necessary support. "From 1900 to 1905 19 children were received from Umatilla county. Of these one was an Inmate of the receiving home for three consecutlv years." Mr. Teuscher, the traveling agent, states that: "It Is no disgrace for a county to have a large number of children committed to the Institution every year. It can be taken as an In dication that the citizens and county officials are looking after the welfare of the homeless, neglected and abused which can be found In every county. But It Is a disgrace not to do all that can be done for such children. "The society has advisory boards In every county In western Oregon ex cept Coos, Curry and Tillamook. Many cases of gross neglect are re ported, the custodians of children entrusted to them by the society are encouraged, the attention of the pub lic Is now frequently called to abused children, and even the most calcu lating taxpnyer begins to realize the truth of the splendid motto of this Institution: 'It Is wiser and less ex pensive to save children than to pun ish criminals.' "This society receives about 400 children a year and nearly all of them become good c'tlrens only the oldest and hardest cases being be yond redemption. Let us have them while they are young. Is the .urgent cry of these ardent friends of unfor tunate children. "For the Inst 15 years the receiving home has been under the management of Superintendent W. T. Gardner and Mrs. Mary J. Graham, the matron. These two Individuals are probably Ihe highest authorities In the state on the subject of training and home placing of children." PACIFIC COAST BASEBALL.
