Mrs. Kletzer Tells How State
Safeguards Children
More Effort Needed Is
Word; School Big Success
By MAUD E. POOL.
"Oregon does a great many things
for her children, but she could do
better and do more." Mrs. William
Kletzer, state president ot the Parent
Teacher association, stated In her
.J message to Jackson county home
makers during the afternoon session
of the school for -parents held here
at the First Christian church Tues
day. "Discontent Is the first step
toward progress," Mrs. Kletzer de
clared at the beginning ot her talk
on "How the State Safeguards Our
Children," and lt-ls In this light that
the speaker believes Oregon people
too well satisfied with the facilities
obtainable In state health service,
training schools, and other phases of
child welfare.
Lark Hospital Space.
Doernbecker hospital at Portland,
where children of both the rich and
oor are eligible, has a waiting list of
600 children, Mrs. Kletzer pointed
out, while sections of the building re
main unused owing to lack of appro
priations. Parents of handicapped
children often havo a tendency to
conceal their children Instead of
bringing their cases to the attention
of proper authorities and obtaining
the funds per capita due from their
school districts for special training
of the blind, deaf, or crippled. Med
1 ford has progressed far beyond re
qulrements In the matter of obtain
ing funds for education of her handi
capped children, Mrs. Kletzer revealed.
Pointing further to the Inferiority
of the welfare system, the speaker
said that the state falls in handling
Its social problems when the training
schools accept children In cases which
should have been recognized as relief
problems of the community. More
women should be urged to avail them
selves of the mother's pension, ob
tainable through county hosgltal
funds, rather than to allow their
children, varying in ages, to be scat
tered In numerous etate Institutions
for support. Mrs. Kletzer also said
the state child welfare commission
is unable to properly-serve the 2500
children which come under their
supervision with the very small staff
the commission now possesses. Mrs.
Kletzer spoke of the seriousness of
dealing with human lives, and stressed
the need ot skilled technique In wel
fare work.
Psychology Discussed.
Delving deeply Into the mysteries
of child psychology, Mrs. Sara Watt
Prentiss, Professor of Parent Educa
tion at Oregon Stats College, pictured
the intricacies of a child's social being
In her discussion on "The Social De
velopment of Children" In the fore
noon session. Implying that parents
have not recognized the Importance
of social training as they hare the
need ot physical and mental develop
ment In their children, Mrs. Prentiss
said that with the rapid pace of so
ciety today there Is approaching s
greater need of the ability to "get
along with the other fellow" than
ever before.
Although many parents hold the
Qolden Rule as the highest precept
In social behavior which can be
taught their children, Mrs. Prentiss
believes there Is even a higher goal
understanding the other fellow, which
Morgan, noted writer in the field ot
child psychology, saya Is the highest
level of social Intelligence.
During the afternoon Mrs. Prentiss
enlarged upon one phase of her first
talk when she spoke on "Understand
ing the Adolescent." Impressing upon
her listeners the fact that the adoles
cent child, often regarded by his par
erts as a stranger. Is the same child
they have known since babyhood
merely trying to adjust himself in
the adult sphere.
Emotions Analyzed.
"The Importance of Emotional Ma
turity" was the subject discussed dur
ing the afternoon by Miss Clarlbel
Nye, state leader of home economics,
who said that Individuals, although
able to recognize physical and mental
development, are somewhat unaware
of emotional advancement. Miss Nye
declared that the emotional make
up of the human being In Its subtle
ness and power has more to do with
happiness than most people realize.
This specialist gave control of the
emotions of love, fear, and anger as
the principal sign of emotional ma
turity in the Individual, advising be
havior on a thinking basis, rather
than on a feeing basis. The speaker
disclosed that even brilliant men may
not be emotionally mature, and men
tioned a fiery congressman as an ex
ample. Mrs. Mabel Mack spoke briefly on
the county radio clubs which have
been particularly successful this year
In the child study phase. Jackson
county has 14 clubs, totaling 130
members. Griffin creek having the
largest club with a membership of 21.
Sohool Scores Success.
The school for parents, conducted
here for three consecutive years, was
a huge success thlb year, with a regis
tration of more than 125 women mak
ing the school the largest yet held
In the state. Homemakers came from
all sections of the county, with several
attending from Ashland and, Jose
phine county. The covered dish
luncheon at noon was preceded by
singing grace, and was followed by
songs remembered from childhood.
Individuals responding with old fa
vorites were Miss Clarlbel Nye, Mrs.
Sara Prentiss, Miss Alice Hanley, Mrs.
Ida Sweeney, and Mrs. Bills Blrdseye.
Nine of the extension units presented
old favorite songs ss part of the noon
program. Members of the county
extension committee. Mrs. O. C.
Maust, Mrs. Berths Glasgow and Mrs:
Bertha. Young, were introduced by
Mrs. Mack, as was Mrs. Marls Moore
of Corvallls.
The forenoon session, at which Mrs.
Effle Blrdseye presided, was opened
with poems of childhood, charmingly
Interpreted by Mrs. Nellie Nleder
meyer of Jacksonville. Mrs. Nleder
meyer chose four of Anthony Euwer's
poems on the sollllqules of childhood,
one entitled "Billy Brown's Measles"
being particularly appropriate at the
present time. Mrs. Bertha Young pre
sided at the afternoon session which
closed at 4:00 o'clock with tea served
by the county extension committee
In honor ot the guest speaker from
Corvallls, for which most of the
women In attendance remained.

Those persons who make slighting;
t and nasty remarks about Pekingese
) dogs may have to swallow their
; words. '
j "Cute, but what food Is it?" they
used to ask when they saw Sam i
i Well's Peke. But yesterday the two-1
year-old son of K. B. Morris, a neigh
! bor, wandered too close to the river's
! edge and fell in. j
j The tiny Peke heard the splash
1 pattered to the bank, saw Billy and
I yelping like a hound, scrambled for
j aid. The first person it found was
I Maximo Pulldo, Filipino house boy ,
j for Weil. Sensing tragedy, Pulldo
! raced with the Peke to the river's
edge, jumped In and saved the child.
There was much talk of heroism in
the neighborhood today.

ly wage rates of all plant employes

new schedules reflecting fully 10 per
cent above previously existing hourly
rates, places wages paid Sperry plant
employes upon a substantially higher
plane. The above announcement waa
released by Paul Hlrsh, division man
