CANNERIES PAY
WOMEN
TOTAL OF
300,000 WAGES
More than $300,000 has been
paid during the past six months to
women who have worked from
time to time In the six canning
end packing plants located In Sa
lem.
And during the present month
it is estimated that women are be
ing paid J1600 a day for work in
the King's Products company,
Hunt Bros, and the Starr Fruit
. Products company.
On a conservative ' estimate,
there are 650 women employed in
Salem, helping in the pack of ap
pies, trimming and cutting, and
the average wage may be said to
be f2.50 a day. Work on the ap
pie pack will continue until about
Christmas.
It was during war times when
there was a scarcity of labor, that
women first began to become im
portant factors in the canning and
packing interests of the city.
Having learned that the work
was fairly agreeable and remuner
ative, the canneries in the city
have experienced no difficulty in
securing the necessary women
workers. One cannery manager
said that when the big rush of the
canning season is on there are
1000 women in the city who can
be called on to help in the emer
gency. Cannery work in which women
are employed in large number in
Salem begins early in June with
the strawberry pack. This Is fol
lowed by cherries, then loganber
ries, black, berries, with the peak
of the season at pear time.
Working on the plan now in
vogue in all the Salem packing
plants, many women make during
the pear Beason, as high as $4 a
day, having become' experienced
in the work.
Based on the present number of
women employed in the pack of
apples, they will be paid this wSbk
and next . a sum approximating
118,000.

This evening at least two of the
games in the Commercial basket
ball league being played at the Y.
M. C. A., bid fair to be two of the
warmest contests of the series.
The Central Pharmacy ' five and
Anderson & Brown quint are to
play tonight and are very evenly
matched. The, druggists stand
second In the percentage list with
A. & B. team next.
The next game of the evening
brings the TJ. S. National bank and
Hauser Bros, tossers together.
Both have lost four starts and won
two which makes them even in the
percentage. The other game is
between the Better Yets bakers
and the Bonesteele mechanics
teams. The bakers are heading
the list and in meeting the motor
boys who are holding onto the bot
torn with four lost and two won
are not expected to find a hard
task in winning. The games start
at 7:15 p. m. The small admis
sion of ten cents is being charged
Large crowds have been attending

What Educators
Think of Oregon
(By Dr. Lyman P. Powell, Director
Educational Department, Cos
mopolitan Magazine.)
jonn jjewey, urat among our
educational thinkers in actual
helpfulness, says that, "variety is
more than the spice of life; it is
largely of Its essence." Long ago
Herbart announced that "educa
tion would be tyranny if it did
not lead to freedom." Boutroux is
ure the highest purpose of educa
tion is to "fashion human beings
Into freedom." Clarence Britten
mi lately editor or tne Dial, warns
that "we pass acts that require
tcacherg to sink their own differ
ences In our unanimity."
Nevertheless, Oregon has juet
passed a compulsory school bill re
quiring the parent to send the
Average child to public school or
, break the law. To be sure, Oregon
seems to have the backing of Dal
las Lore Sharp who writes: "My
child is first a national child. He
belongs to the nation even before
be belongs to himself. His educa
tion is first national and then personal."
Oregon Is wrong. If America
lias achieved anything worth
while in education, it. is the inter
play of the individual spirit
against a background blended of
many interests. That is democracy
In a making. There is no other
kind we ought to covet. If the
state Is to manage education
which may conceivably be a mod
Idea, the state ought to understand
in advance the slie of its contract.
Tile present has to grow out of
the past. There is no other way to
ensure evolution rather than the
revolution which is racking many
parts of the world perhaps iv
pieces. It In the wisdom of Ore
gon, the average child should go
to public schools, the first step le
not compulsory legislation. It is
to make the public schools ot such
character that no private school.
Protestant or Catholic, can com
pete with It. There is no short cuf!
Force the American people to take
one, and you ensure another ol
those inevitable reactions which
In our social and political, ad well
as educational life, have sometimes
cost us dear. Pennsylvania is even
considering a reorganization of Its
public schools covering seventeen
years.
See straight. Our society is com
plex. "One star differeth from
another star in glory." Fore
ground we can make, but not back
ground. That has been our fa
thers1 work. Not merely have edu
cation and religion belonged to
gether iu the past, but it was the
very real for the religious ad
vancement of the world that start
ed Comenlua himself on the road
of highly original educational
thinking, while in more recent
years the Montessori method orig
inated in a sense of social service,
endeavoring to answer properly
the question "Am I my brothers'
keeper." Every worthy ideal in
iiur educational life, provided we
are patrent, can be realized with
out rendering the background

bons as well as Cotton Mather.
tne fascist! have had a bloodless
revolution in Italy because they
have attacked real enemies; not
tilted uT windmills. The responsi
unity for the education of our
children we think belongs to us.
We will pay all we can to carry it,
and we will also pay whatever else
the state assesses us. It is possi
ble to be both parent and patriot.
Nationalizing children does not
sound good to American parent
hood. We think we know a better
way, and yet promote the cause of
true democracy.
Exceediner the Speed Limit:
Careless thinking may lay a bur
den grevious to be borne, on our
good public schools, which have
done wonders for us, though in
large part twice reorganized since
I860, and now apparently to be
in Oregon reorganized again.
Physical has been added to men
tal training In our public schools.
The truant has been brought Into
the claesroom. Methods have
been found to deal with the in
corrigible. Wre are even learning
how to help the inferior, the crip
pled, the tubercular, the deaf, the
epileptic, the blind, while we are
steadily raising by tact and com
mon sense, the age of compulsory
attendance. Why exceed the speed
limit? Compulsion cannot create
capacity, or unscrew the inscrut
able. Why ask our public schools,
with the problems many are fac
ing of overcrowding and keeping
their best teachers, to do at. once
more than they can do? If Sharp
wants his child to be "a national
jhild," I am for him. That is his
ioncern. I want the right to do
"or my own child the best I know
As I read our history I understand

Nat'-rally, most children will

where they ought to go. Ameri

nothing better than the (public
schools. AVhy overwork them?
Have a heart. Why not develop

everywhere they function fully

To Your Tents 0 Israel.
This is no ',
private school has been discussed
in earlier issues. The word itselt
covers every institution not sup
ported by the state. Again and
again, we have called attention to
the unique value of the junior col
lege and the military school, the
church school and the camp. No
one seriously questions their iin
portauce. The professional school
needs no argument. The dentist
used to get his training In a dental
office. The lawyer read his Black
stone under a great master. Even
until recently men were studying
for the ministry at the feet ot
some Gamaliel. But times have
changed. Only the best trainini
now can fit for such a future ab
the world has never known be
fore. That training can be pro
vided by the professional school
alone.
Many Types of Schools.
This is a wide term. The
school of commerce Is more vtial
iy affecting business organization
today than any other single factor,
even though the place is biggei
than before, for "The Go-Getter"
of Peter B. Kyne. The man who
wants to arrive as a business ex
ecutive, the woman who wishes to
be more than a "Robot" secretary.
must get the best our excellent
business and efficient secretarial
schools provide. It is vastly more
than making a living. They real
ly furnish sound counsellors and
well as high aesthetic standards,
try to get admission to a good
artistic school. Do you realize
how many of our photographers,
whose work appears in magazine,
newspaper and the film, get their
preparation in those schools ot
ohotography where along with
technique are taught the dignity
and beauty of the art? Do you
know that there still, lives a very
live newspaper man who in 1875
reported the first graduating exer
cises of a school for nurses in the
United States and hear a nurse of
the older type pronounce against
ihe newer training? Ever since
John Hopkins set a standard
which converted nursing into a
profession, the movement upward
has been steady until today nurses
training schools the country over
ire worth while.
If to any reader of this, the plea
for an education with the private
school supplementing, the public
school, seems of little worth; think
upon the words' of Leibnitz: "He
who controls the education of a
nation controls its future." I

For ten years we have been roasting, blending
and packing superior coffee. We have learned just
what blend has the greatest appeal to the discrimin
ating coffee drinkers of the Pacific Northwest and
how to produce it in unvarying quality.
The original process by which each different
coffee composing the blend is roasted separately,
brings out the best quality in each, so that when
these different varieties are blended the result is a
blend of unusual flavor and aroma. It is used by the
Hotel Washington, the Yacht Club, the Admiral Line
and by many of the exclusive clubs and cafes, as well
as in thousands of homes. '
