TEACHERS TO UNITE
TROOPS MARCHING ALSATIAN CHILDREN OUT OF WAR ZONE TO ATTEND SCHOOL IN FRANCE
N REORGANIZATION
. ' President II. II. Hordman of tho
Oregon State Teavhcra association, '
In his annual address, made a stroiiR
appeal to teachers of the Mate and
through them, to tho people whoso
duty It la to assist them in tho work
of broadening tho general view of tho
vnst Importance of educational work
Advancement, to imblbo tho progress
ive Idea and proceed with all possi
ble energy nnd sincerity to develop
It.
"Tho past two decades," said the
speaker, "liavo served to work great
changes In our national lifo. Social,
political, economical and educational
Htiitim Iiur undergone such changes
as hnvo in many Instances been rev
olutionizing. Lifo linn become more
nud more complex and our problems
are accordingly moro difficult of so
lution. Hut thin complexity would
not hnvo wrought tho changes had
it not boon accompanied by n grad
ually changing viewpoint on the part
of the peoplo. To my mind, that
Hhlftlng viewpoint, moro than nny
other element, is responsible for
iiutiiy of thn difficulties that con
front us as teachers and for much of
the progress that our profession has
lately mndo."
A Combination of linerglcs
In a comparison of Oregon with
other commonwealths and In a state
ment of what wo most need to instil
Interest In moro progressive methods,
the speaker said:
"In ono respect, wo of Oregon have
limned behind. Our stnto organiza
tion falls far short. It Is not equal
to Its opportunities. It nppcars to bo
iot even cnpablo of perceiving its
opportunities. Nowhere In tho Unit
ed States, perhaps, Is thoro a rlchor
field for educational endeavor. Wo
have the workers. All wo need Is tho
Instruments with which to do tho
work.
"Today will be presented to you a
plan of reorganization of tho two
dlvlnlons of tho state association. Un
derlvlni; this plan is tho central
thought of servlco to our common
wealth. Wo want to attack tho many
educational problems In an intelli
gent, comprehensive manner that will
Insure permanent results. To do so
we niust cast aside tho tools that
horved us well In our adolescence
and take up others equal to tho
Hrnln that our yoars and our size
will exert.
Still in Short Skliti
"Looking back over our many ex
periences in this organization, es
pecially tlioso of the year Just clos
ing, I am struck by tho similarity
belueeu this association nud its pres
ent organization and a healthy, vig
orous, well developed young woman
who Ht III wears her hair in braids
down her back and Is straining to
ho breaking point tho senilis of hor
short, one-piece, girlhood frock.
"It is high tlmo that wo I uso
the term "wo" comprehensively put
our hnlr up and, desplto present fash.
Ions and advanro press notices of
still Breatcr brevity of skirt length,
let our skirts down, nt least to our
shootout.."
Dtarth of npnco forbids our publi
cation of President Hcrdman's ad
diess in full, as also that of Dr.
Ilalllet Hach Is full of instruction
to the educators of today and to tho
nations of educntlonnl Institutions

the upland owner extends to tho
thread of the stream," sus the at
torney general in his opinion.
"Theiefote, answering your first
(itostion, would sav in navigable por
tions of the river the shore owner has
no right to control the use of the lied
of the stream, coveted 'liy water, op
posite his laud ii till beyond his pi op
arty, hut in the uuuaigable poitiou
he has, and the nnvcr would bo 'yes'
or 'no,' depending on whether the
stream is navigable or uiiuavigahle at
the point under consideration, and if
the upland owner has purchased tho
tide land to low water murk, whether
tho point in question is within Mich
mark."
Answer to .Second Question
The nttornoy general then takes up
the second question and says:
"If in the navigable poitiou of the
river, the upland property owner hav
ing no title beyond mean high wnter
mark, he has no right to proveut the
driving of stakes at the water's edge
anywheie below such high water
mark, unless, of course, he has ae
quiied the tide laud abutting Ins
property, which extends to mean low
water iimik. Dut even then, if the
place where the stake is set is below
mean low water maik, he has no light
to eoutiol the use of the bed of the
stieaui at that particular point or
any other point below tho boundary
to his property, but otherwise if in
the bed of tho liver where his own
ership extendi, to the t hi cud of the
stream.
"This is, of course, subjeet to Hie
right of the upland owner to wharf
out fioui his property to the naviga
ble waters in trust for all the people
for the putpoMi of iishlug, navigation
and eoinuieiee."

In conjunction with tho announce
tneiit of tho news that orders havo

a well sunk 1G feet, from which for
a tlmo nn nbundanco of wator was
obtained. Continued drouth depleted
tho source of supply; nnd alio had It
sunk 20 feet deeper, making it .15
feet, on which level sho found nu
nmplo supply of water. On sinking
it tho additional 20 feet, hovvover.
