PORTLAND COMMERCIAL CLUB
TO ATTEMPT WAKING
EASTERN OREGON.

James ]. Sayer of Portland, field
representative of the Oregon Devel-
opment League, will visit Enterprise,
Joseph and Wallowa this spring to
preach the gospel Of sound publicity

The local Commercial club is ex-
pecting soon to receive the dates of
Mr.. Sayer's coming from the Port
land Commercial club.
Mr.. Sayer is to visit all Eastern
Oregon districts and will make one
of the most remarkable journeys in
the history of Industrial development
OF the West. He will cover 2100 miles
by train, trolley, automobile and stage
all within Oregon and all of it thru
the sparsely settled section of East
ern Oregon.
G. G. Chapman, secretary of the
Portland Commercial club, in speaking
of Mr.. Sayer's trip, said:
eve believe that the section in the
interior has not received it's due
share of colonists to which 1t is en-.
titled. We desire to explain to them
why 1t is so and show them the meth.
cd employed to get more. 1t is a
sort of evangelizing work that Mr..
Sayer will be engaged in. He will
make an effort to revive ommercial
clubs where they need them and to
establish new ones where they are
needed. Mr.. Sayer is thoroughly ac-
quainted with commercial club work.
He knows all of its details and
am sure that he will be received with
open arms by all the communities
he visits"

Vulnerable wooden tubs, such as we
use in America for washing, with two
iron bands around them. Everything
is in immaculate order. The teacher
gives each child n tub, and he or she
takes it into an immense and well
lighted wash room.
OF course the girls and boys are
washed separately, and they perform
their ablutions by grades. the tiniest
ones coming first. The floor of this
wash room is of cement. and in the

When all are clean the teacher turns
on the showers, and they are all thor

empty Its own tub. Then the clean,

QUALIFY TEACHERS
Ar SUMMER SCHOOL
NEW COURSES ADDED BY o. A.
COLLEGE TO MEET NEW
SCHOOL LAWS.

Corvallis, April 12-The six weeks
summer session at the Oregon Agri-
cultural College which opens June
10 and lasts until July 2S will offer
many new courses this year for the
benefit of those teachers disqualified
by the new school laws which now
make heavier requirements as to prep
aration.
Town and city supervision and the
new rural school supervision provid-
ed for under the new schol law will
be taught, as well as the advanced
subjects required now for certificates
such as mathematics, history, the
sciences, English and American litera
ture, the art of teaching, psychology
and the history of education. There
will be special work for the teachers
of industrial subjects, and partlcu-
lar attention will also be given to
instruction of the primary and inter
mediate grammar grade teachers as
to the relation of the school to the
industries. So large a proportion OF
the school children of the country
never get beyond the grammar grades
that it is considered immensely i'm
portant that the teacher of the young
er children should in some degree
correlate the work with the practical
things to be met outside.
