Many parents are deploring the
present tendency toward supple
m entary reading by which the regu­
lar readers with their well-halaDced
selections covering a wide range of
literature have been laid aside to
s'udy selectioos from a few authors.
The snppleaientary list, as its name
implies, was never intended to usurp
the place of any booi^in the school
course but meaot to be used after the
reader had been completed th at the
children's interest m ight nut be les
sened by re reading familiar selec­
tions.
The Portland schools first
had this privilege and later it was,
with m any misgivings that it might
be abused, extended to all th e schools
of the state.
A rum or has been current th at the
U niversity’s suit against Mrs. J . C.
Clark, for forfeiture of the corner
brick drugstore because of alleged
violation of the liquor prohibition
clause, would be dismissed as Mr.
Miller was going to move. Law ­
yers smile when the subject is m en­
tioned and it is getting pretty well
known that the case has no standing
in court now. In an t^ectment suit
where the plaintilT seeks pos-ession
of the property as the owner in fee
simple his action is brought against
the party in possession snd the d e­
fect of m sking Mrs. Clark defendant
iostead of Mr. Miller would seem to
be fatal. So ends another chapter in
the long continued story of Forest
G rove’s temperance agitation.
