SHELTON
RESIGNS
POSITION
AS DISCIPLINARIAN AT REFORM
" SCHOOL, AND SO DOES CHESTER
CANNON THEY CANNOT GET
ALONG WITH SCI'EHINTENDENT
HALE.
Roecoe Shelton, for the past three or
four years disciplinarian at the Ore
gon Industrial school, has resigned,
and It has come as a complete Bur
prise, not only to the general pub
lic, but als. to the members of the
state board, for, despite the fact that
that the law Invests them with supremo
power to appoint the superintendent
for the Institution, and all subordi
nates, and also to prescribe the rules
and regulations, none of them,, when
questioned this morning, were aware
that Shelton had resigned, or that any
other changes had been made.
Inability to work In harmony with
the newly-appointed superintendent,
W. S. Hale, is the reason for the res
ignation of Shelton. and It Is under
stood other employes o' the Institu
tion are contemplating resigning for
the same reason. There has been one
other resignation Chester Cannon,
as farmer, but Hale declares that he
had tendered his resignation before he
was appointed superintendent
The main thing upon which Hale
and Shelton could not agree was the
former's action in abolishing corporal
punishment at the institution. Shelton
is declared to have rebelled against It,
and just a few days before his resig
nation went Into effect, because Hale
saw fit to call him down for punish
ing an inmate, he bid farewell to the
school, and since then has not been
connected wl;h It.
Superintendent Hale, shortly after
his assuming charge of the lnstltu
of Intoxicants or tobacco by employes
would be allowed. He says this was
not made applicable to any one, but
made a general rule, and It Is said
that the Innunendo contained In it
was resented by the employes.
Hale would not dlBcuss the situation
any further than to say that Shelton
and he could not agree upon the dis
cipline in the school.
Neither would Shelton discuss it.
further than to say that he resigned
because of failure to work In harmony
with the superintendent, and that he
understood others were considering
taking similar steps.
G. I. Stnhl, of Portland, and former
ly a teacher at the school, has been
appointed to succeed Shelton, and
Herbert C. Davis, also a teacher, to
succeed Cannon.
Whether the state board, now that
It is advlBed that changes have been
made In the staff of the cshool, and
also In the rules and regulations, will
ratify them, remains to be seen.

that It was 'planted' than that any la

Mrs, Harris Is a patient at the Au

forces humnn beings to live to suffer.
I seek a law which would permit phy

favor the law if it could bo safeguard
