Stephens, the editor and his bet ter half were taken out to Log La Barre last Sunday. It wras their first visit to that hostelry o f which they had heard much. The drive on the way was en chanting, as one passed ever hill and along dale, past substantial farm houses, past orchards o f ripening apples and prunes, past country churches and school houses until after winding thru an avenue of majestic firs, the road (*merges into the open, and Log La Barre stands disclosed. It stands on a slight eminence, facing an extended panorama o f landscape which rolls out on ev ery side to the horizon, bordered on the east bv mountains among which towers snow capped Mt. Hood. The building as its name suggests, is of logs, four-square with broad piazzas. The rooms are ceiled and in the lobby and dining room are massive stone fire places, from which on chilly days blazing logs send forth a grateful heat. The bedrooms upstairs open by French window doors on to the piazza, besides a door into the hallway at the rear. The windows viewed at a certain angle reflect the landscape mak ing them resemble choice paint ings by notec^ artists. Every thing was immaculate and invit ing. The writer thought o f the lines, “ 1 will take my ease at my inn.” The stork was evidently aware of its merits, for Wednes day o f last week, it left there a seven pound boy with the forest ranger and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Carter. The music work in' the high school is being organized some what differently from last year. Mr. Godfrey will hold a regular class once a week for those who wish to learn to read music, and examinations will be given and credit allowed in accordance with the work done as in other subjects. Besides this, there will be a weekly general assem bly for singing practice. Mr. Godfrey came on Wednesday to begin the work. Miss Jessie Hannah o f the pri mary department, and Misses Morrison and McKnightand Mr. Straughan o f the high school, were excused a few hours on Monday that they might go to Gresham for a glimpse o f Presi dent Wilson. Many pupils were absent on that day, because of the opportunity to see the presi dent. Miss Gertrude Dillon went to Pori land Monday evening to hear him speak. Several additional students have been registered this week. Atnong them are Bruce Randolph and Ralph Wade, former stu dents who have returned to us after a year’s absence, and Ches ter Morgan who comes as a juni or from the Myrtle Creek high school. There will be a football game on Friday between the high school and the alumni. This game should be o f general inter est because it is the first tryout o f our boys this year. Five o f last year’s football letter men are now here with at least three more to enter soon. These with the new material on hand, give promise o f an excellent team.

DRAW OP YEAR'S PROGRAM The officers o f the state Chris tian Endeavor societies o f the Presbyterian Church, met here in executive session hist Sunday. There were about twenty-one in attendance and were accompa nied by the Rev. Chas. W. Hays o f Portland, who acted in an ad visory capacity. The object o f the meeting was for conference and the drawing up o f a sched ule for the work o f the coming year- The delegation made the Estacada Hotel their headquar ters and held their sessions in the park pavilion. W eek Day Religious Schools Believing that good citizenship implies loyalty to some form of organized religion and that, lo this end, weekday religious in struction shouid form part of the education of every child, the Episcopal Church in America has forged a new link in its proposed chain o f weekday r e l i g i o u s schools to be conducted in coop eration with the public school system o f the country and which is part o f that program of the Episcopal Nation-Wide Campaign now in progress. The church school will give re ligious instruction to public school pupils who are children of Episcopalian families. Ac cording to the plan proposed, the public school authorities will issue ‘ ‘Barents’ excuse cards,” to be distributed by the rector o f the parish to those o f his par ishioners who have children at tending public schools. If these cards are signed and returned to the public school au thorities the children will bo ex cused from their regular studies for certain periods each week, during which they will devote themselves to religious studies in the church school. This scheme is no new experi mept but has been in operation for someyeaas, at Gary, Indiana, where it proved highly success ful.
