SEWING IN TIE SCHOOLS.

There is complaint that the public
school curriculum is too crowded i'm
recent years. and we understand that
there is talk that certain members of
our Board Of Education are thinking
OF simplifying the courses of study.
The proposition in general seems wise,
since there is so much ground to be
covered by the pupils that it is too
great a task and It has a tendency TO
develop the habit of examining.
But when the pruning begins a good
deal OF thought should be given to the
matter. II does not follow that all the
subjects that have been introduced re-
Gently should be discarded. The ex-
hibit at the High School Building OF
the needle work done by the children
should convince anyone that this
branch of education cannot be elimi-
mated without a great loss. The chill.

ANOTHER FLOOD
Deluge Sweeps Everything

Near Portland
OVER 800 BODIES HAVE BEEN FOUND

Portland, Ore. June 16.--Eive hun
burst that almost entirely destroyed
the town of Heppner, Ore. Heppner
is the county seat of Morrow county,
and had about 1850 inhabitants.
All the telegraph and telephone
wires are down and no accurate infor-
nation can be obtained, but the esti-
mate of loss of life is based on the
most reliable reports received. A re-
port from lone, II miles from Hepp-
ner, is to the effect that over 300 bodies
have been recovered. A messenger
who arrived there said a wall of wa
ter 25 feet high rushed down into the
gulch in which the town is separated,
carrying everything before it. Entire
families are among the dead.
The food came with such sudden
ness that the inhabitants were unable
to seek places of safety and were car
ried down to death by the awful rush
of water.
Almost the entire residence portion
Of the town was destroyed, but some Of
the business part, which is on higher
ground, escaped. Huge boulders
Weighing ton were carried down by
the current, and many people were
killed by being dashed against the
rocky bluff Early in the afternoon a
thunder storm occurred, covering a
wide region of country, and later a
heavy rain set in. many of the small
streams overlooking their banks in a
short time. Bridges were swept away
like straws. Soon as possible after the
food had subsidized the work of relief
was commenced by the citizens. Doz-
ems of bodies were found lodged along
the bends of Willow Creek and in sew
eral places they were piled over one
another Over 200 bodies have been
recovered almost within the city limits.
The buildings which were not carried
away were moved from their founda-
tions or toppled over. Hundreds Of
horses, cattle, sheep and hogs that had
gone into the creek bottoms for water
perished.
News of tho calamity did not reach
the outside world until late yesterday,
all the means of communication having
been cut Off AS soon as possible news
was sent by courier to the nearby
towns. The Oregon Railway and Nav
igation Company started a relief train
with 800 men and supplies from The
Dallcs. Another train started for the
scene from this city. The citizens OF
Portland started a relief fund as soon
as the news of the disaster spread over
the city, and within a few hours $4,000
was raised. Supplies will be rushed to

A HIpEous CRIME.

The horrible outrage perpetrated on
dcfenseless young girl while on her
way from school yesterday is sicken-
ing TO contemplate. II is enough to
cause our blood to boil and to stir men
TO the primitive passion OF vengeance.
We can judge such crimes calmly and
philosophically when they are perpe-
trated In some distant State. but when
they strike at those we know and the
danger to our own people becomes ap-
parent. we all clamor for effective
means to prevent such outrages.
About year ago a similar outrage
was perpetrated on respectable mar
ried woman up the Brandywine, and
her assistant went unpublished. There
have been four or flve murders in
Delaware in the last two or three
years. one man was convicted, but
subsequently pardoned. soon we shall
come to believe that life and person
are not safe in Delaware.
This last crime is so sickening and
revolving that the public has a right
TO demand that the right party shall
be found and that a hanging shall take
place. We all denounce violence. but
once let the public understand that
justice is cheated, and the people are
inclined to take matters into their own
hands. A man has been arrested, but
there appears to be doubt as to his
quilt. There is possibility that hav-
hig one suspect the authorities will
now centre their efforts on proving his
guilt, but If there is a doubt about IT,,
other clues should be run out We do
not wish to discredit those who are
charged with the duty OF ferreting out
crime. but it is only the truth TO say
that we have no properly trained de-
tectives in the State. and we need
them.

When John Wanamaker recently re-
turned to this country after three
months in Europe, he was interviewed,
and among other things said: Never
were so many eyes upon America or so
many projects formed to have "A share
In our undertakings" That statement
sounds well to the average American
who has "A pride i'm his country, but the
persons who will welcome it most
eagerly are the stock promoters. The
craze that seemed to possess Ameri-
cans within the past few years to rush
into speculation and buy shares in
every new combination that was
formed apparently has run its course.
and now the promoters who have
watched the trend of affairs recently
cannot fail to notice that the pendulum
is beginning to swing slowly, but sure
ly, the other way. Even the magic

dicate, has failed within short time

HOFFMAN STILL AFTER

Indications That There Will
Be a Lively Time at Fri
days Meeting

Charles II. Hoffman. of Philadelphia, a
stakeholder in the Diamond State Steel
Company. is still after Howard T. Wal
lace, president of the Diamond State Steel
Company. The meeting on Friday promises
to be lively one.
Concerning the meeting the North Amer
lean says this morning:
The movement among stockholders Of
the Diamond State Steel Company to OBJ
tain fuller information concerning the af-
fairs and condition OF the corporation is
extending and fast assuming organized
shape.
II is now certain that the annual meet
ing on Friday will be a lively one, and
trouble is in store for the management
IL the desired information shall be then
Withheld from inquiring shareholders.
An investigating committee is likely to
be appointed, and discontented stoclxhold-
ers intend to unite ait the meeting in an
effort to prevent the acceptance of the re-
port which was issued by the management
on June 5.
Charles II. Hoffman, who took the in
itiative I'm the matter by writing TO IL. T.
Wallace president of the Diamond State
Steel Company, and demanding fuller in
formation, yesterday received a reply.
" 1 have a letter from President Wal
lace and Mr.. Hoffman, when seen yes
terday at his office, room 81 Broad street
station which is no more satisfactory
than the statement issued by the COM
pany. Mr. Wallace says it was impos-
sible to make this statement any fuller in
the printed circular, but that if / will call
on him he thinks he can explain matters
in way satisfactory to me-
what we want is not private verbal
explanation, but something in official
form, and we intend to have 1t. l am
afraid there is something rotten in the
company If so stockholders have a right
to know 1t.
"On these lines 1 shall write President
Wallace again. advising him that I will
be at the meeting with other stockholders
to demand a full report, such as every
other well-managed company makes.
showing earnings and expenses, etc, and
how the 1875. 900 has been expended. I Will
demand that such a report be prepared
In proper shape and submitted to the
stockholders at the meeting on Friday.
IF this is not done we shall organize
an investigating committee composed of
stockholders. not officers or directors, and
in no way identified with the MANAGEMENT.

Of the company, and make an independent

wHAr MIGHT BE SAID.

WHAT MIGHT BE SAID.
Many pretty and pertinent things are
being said at these college commence
ments by the young men about to take
their Bachelors degree and by certain
eminent gentlemen who are supposed to
have mastered most Of the problems OF
life. But there are a few things vitality
true which have been left unsaid, not
witnstanding their importance.
In the first place we observe that
the brilliant student has had a pretty
easy time in his college course. He
has not been obliged to grind, and,
therefore, probably has not done It, as
few Of us do much without compulsion.
He has been the pet OF his fellows and
the secret admiration of his teachers.
He knows it, and by making a dash at
serious study now and then. especially
just before examinations, has passed
off with credit. The professors and his
admirers say that he would have stood
first in his class had he applied HIM
self, but It never, or rarely, happens that
way.
Why is II that we so often misjudge
the capacities or the possibilities in
young men? Is it not because we mis-
take brilliance for depth, and because
we take no account Of other qualities
which reach their highest development
only through a course OF years? We
know as a matter Of actual experience
that the boy OF average ability with am
bition and industry is almost certain to
succeed but we are not so certain about
the brilliant boz who lacks application.
1t is q saying in regard to wealth that
that which comes easily goes easily"
and the same thing is true of knowl-
edge. The boy who has TO labor at the
problems set before him puts much Of
himself into their solution: they be-
come vital, impressed part OF his be-
ing, and therefore, they will almost GER
tainly been retained. While the apt
pupil may grasp facts ana retain them
only as long as It is necessary for him
to repeat them.
Isn't it strange then that the only
tests of students ability are those
which determine how quickly he may
learn, while there is nothing to show
how vitality this knowledge concerns the
mind Of the pupil or how profoundly his
nature has been affected by It? Our
judgments are at fault, too, In deciding
whether boys are duh or only slow in
awakening. Many boys and young
men are precocious. their minds, as far
as capacity is concerned, having ma
tured early while others are long in
reaching maturity. This refers not
alone TO development, but to capacity.
The hasty judgments formed by par
ents and teachers may be most unjust,
and when they are communicated to
the young man, as they are certain TO
be. often make him distrustful and
thus work him great injury.
Let anyone Of mature life go back
over the years and picture the members
Of his old class. Putting aside social or
pecuniary advantages, each has taken
a position in the world not anticipated.
Frequently the duh have forged ahead,
and the brilliant have dropped behind.
But the duh are no longer duh. and
the brilliant are no longer brilliant. The
young man endowed with extraordi-
nary gifts simply has great opportuni-
ties. To succeed he must add the gifts
of plodding perseverance and faith.

In The effort to increase the salaries
of the primary teachers, Lewis b.
Morrow has a very sensible plan. He
suggests that when new teachers are
employed at $3.50 year they shall get
an increase Of S25 for each subsequent
year until the $500 mark is reached.
That would mean small yearly in
crease for seven years, and would be
a. means OF encouraging those who
have engaged I'm the work as a perma-
nent occupation. 1t probably would
not increase the expense. as a propor-
tion OF the teachers drop out before
they have taught SO long. II gives the
rewards TO those who continue in the
work. and who presumably have gain
ed efficiency. We need as good teach
ers in the primary grades as anywhere
and teacher who has given her
thought to education and has been sue
cessful for seven years, earns $500 II
she earns a penny. This provides for
a system of promotion, which is most
desirable.
