Window shades
of enduring beauty
You'll get a rich beauty that lasts in your Brenlin window
shades.
Brenlin wears two or three times as long as an ordinary
window shade, because it is made without chalk or clay
"filling" the cause of cracks and pinholes in ordinary
shades. And because the material is finer, stronger and
more closely woven.
We have Brenlin in a wide variety of beautiful color;
Let us show you how little it will cost to shade your
windows with Brenlin. . -f . . -V
We jwill gladly make suggestions on how to shade and
decorate your windows correctly and economically. With

Necessity of Morality in
Public School Training
The question of moral training, as
being discussed by writers to the
"Oregonian," is a question of the
most vital importance to all people
today.
Much has been expected of the
public school in influencing the char
acter of the boy or girl; much of the
church, and more of the home in
which he or she is reared. But, grant
ing that each has done something for
the morals of the child, yet all of
them together have not done enough.
First, the home training is of the
most importance, because here the
small child, having no other author
ity but that of parents; and if wisely
taught, will rely without question on
the parent's instruction; and again,
if properly trained will acquire a
character that wify in most cases,
stand firm under all circumstances
while life lasts.
The church as ' a njoral support
must come, in many cases, only where
the home is in sympathhy with the
church; and al too many homes, we
know, are not in accord with church
influence. This makes the spread of
spiritual aid, the strength of charact
er that comes of church influence and
the pleasure of association with clean
minded associates, crying needs, all.
If then, home life of many boys
and girls is not at all what it should
be, and the church cannot exert the
influence that it should, we must then
turn to the public school as a source
of instruction for the morals of our
youth.
A good, clean-minded teacher, of
high ideals, lady-like in appearance
and action cannot help exerting an
influence for good in any schoolroom.
This being true, a mighty responsi
bility rests upon anyone who takes
up the teaching profession. A teach
er who is careless in speech, who uses
the least bit of slang, who is any
thing but neat, and who is not posses
sed of a serious patience born of a
knowledge of the value of true teach
ing is probably unfit to mould or in
fluence the character (the most vital
possession of a human being) of the
fiiture business headfe, housewives,
and law makers of this or any other
country.
Principals of High schools, probab
ly as much as anyone in school work,
can have and should have the great
est influence for good; and I believe
they should be, by law required to
exert such -. influence, and further
should be held in a measure respon
sible for the conduct not only in the
school, but on the street, of all youth
who are subject to their authority.
Have we not all a valid remem
brance of some teacher who, in her
strict requirement of honesty,' cour
tesy and purity, influenced us for
good, and helped us to be a better
citizen 7 Let ui all strive for this
better citizenship. .
