Thursday, December 19, 1918 EASTERN CLACKAMAS NEWS Community Institute Was a Grand Success Make this a Real i Christmas (Continued from Page 1) off duty is the true revelation of our personality. The fact that one’s education and training may be largely increased and improved by working on the subconscious mind, was also presented for con sideration. Thursday mornirfg, Mr. Almack lectured especially to the High School students, and the seventh and eighth grades were invited over. His lecture at this time was "The Business of Living’’ and was largely along the line of vocational guidance. This lecture was especially helpful, supple menting as it does the course of# instruction in that direction being given in the schools. The pupils were mucn interested in his des cription of the various types of people, the mental, the motor, the nervous, the sanguine, the digestive, etc., and in following his suggestions in regard to the choosing of occupations. In the afternoon Mr. Almack had an address more especially for the parents of whom six or seven were present, in spite of the extensive advertising of the lecture. His subject was "The Function of the School” which was a fitting supplement to his morning lecture and was as thoroughly enjoyed by the stu dents as his previous talk. The chief function of the school is to make the child self-supporting, by providing as far as equipment will permit, instruction in effici ency in some occupation suited to the child, by which he or she can make a living. This is brought about by the full co-oper ation of pupils, parents, and teachers, and school authorities. Following this lecture there was a short business meeting of the Parent-Teachers’ Association- the first of the year. It was de cided to adopt for the present year the third, Wednesday night in each month for regular meet ing night. The climax of the institute v\as reached Friday evening when the University presented R o b e r t Louis Barron in violin recital. Mr. Barron had a well balanced program of four parts, which afforded satisfactory evidence of his splendid ability with the most popular of musical instruments. In technic and finish of expression one seldom hears, outside of musical centers, one so much the master of his art. Every one who was fortunate enough to be pres ent expressed his appreciation with hearty applause and en thusiastic comment. Mr. Barron was assisted at the piano by Miss Aurora Potter whose ability as an accompanist can not be too highly commended. We hope we may be able to continue these evenings and trust that many more will feel their worth and lend their support by their attendance. « Give Something ELECTRICAL This Year SOME HELPFUL HINTS 9 Sewing Machine Motor Vacuum Cleaner Washing Machine Floor, Table and Desk / Lamps Chafing Dish Toaster Grill Coffee Percolator Milk Warmer Smoothing Iron or Travel- ing Iron Curling-Iron and Drying Comb in one • Vibrator Heating Pad Radiator Portable Stove and Oven Range Pan Electric Store ELECTRIC BUILDING WHY NOT FILL THE CHRIST MAS STOCKINGS With Useful Gifts for Mother.
