Fiftieth Anniversary of Gettys-

in Schools.

Appropriate exercises were held in
all of the public schools today to

most of the city Fairgrounds, where
childred reciteds the famous address
and Joined in singing patriotic songs.
Many of the instructors at the differ

sters in intricate drills which were
performed in honor of the day.
A general circular was sent out by
DIR. A. b. Poland, superintendent of
the Board of Education, requesting
the principals of the different schools
to hold special exercises.
The following circular, along with
copies of the famous address, gotten
up by John Cotton Dana, city Ii
brarian, We're sent to the principals
of the schools: by action of the
committee of instruction and educa-
tional supplies, you are authorized
to observe the following recommended
ton of the State Commissioner of
Education.
''Quite apart from it's sentiments
of lofty patriotism, the Gettysburg
address (Lincoln'se is universally rec
ognized as one of the great master

mended that all pupils in the high
schools and the older pupils in the
grammar schools commit the address
to memory and recite it on the after
noon of November 10, the fiftieth an
niversary of its delivery"
The address reads:
'FoufScore and Seven years ago our
fathers brought forth on this CONT
nent q new nation, conceived in lib
ar-trr uVa1 Nndf fxad f..v.
that all men are created equal Now
we are engaged in great civil war,
testing whether that nation, or any
nation so conceived and so dedicated,
can long endure. We are met on a
great battlefield of that war We
have come to dedicate a portion of
that field as a final resting place for
those who here gave their lives that
that nation might live. 1t is alto
gether fitting and proper that we
should do this. But in larger sense
we cannot dedicate, we cannot conse-
crate, we cannot hallow this ground.
The brave men, living and dead, who
struggled here, have consecrated it
far above our poor power to add or
detract The world will little note,
nor long remember, what we say here,
but 1t can never forget what they did
here 1t is for us, the living, rather
to be dedicated here to the unfinished
work which they who fought here
have thus far so nobly advanced. 1t
is rather for us to be here dedicated
to the great task remaining before us
that from these honored dead we
take increased devotion to that cause
for which they gave the last full
measure of devotion-that we here
highly resolve that these dead shall
not have died in vain-that this ma
ton, under God, shall have q new
birth of freedom-and that govern
ment of the people, by the people, for
the people, shall not perish from the

DRYDEN TELLS Of
INSURANCE LAPS|NG
Prudential Head, in Article,
Says Public Fails to Re-
alize Danger.

In an article contributed to the
Western Underwater, Chicago, Pres
ident Forrest r. Dryden, of the Pru-
Dental Insurance Company, talks
upon the dangers to the public oil
the lapsing of life insurance policies.
The Prudential has made and Is con-
stantly making a special study OF
this question and President Dryden's
twenty-five years experience In every
branch of the company's work makes
him an authority on the subject.
After stating that the three chief
reasons leading to the dropping of
life insurance policies are lack of
funds, Indifference and over-insur-
ance," President Dryden says:
Frequently the plea of no funds
is due to a desire to spend the money
for something else, or to failure to
apportion wisely even a limited in
come, SO as to be ready for the
premium notice when received. First
Impressions have faded, and the sense
Of relative values has disappeared.
Here the work of salvage must be
pushed. The agent must again etch
deeply on the mind of the insured,
and without offense, that the need of
protection for the beneficiary still ex-
ists. He must burn into his clients
conscience the fact that 1t is not the
part of wisdom to indulge in any
luxury or careless expenditure, or
make any commitments which will
eopardize the payment of his insur-
Ince premium. The so-called neces-
aries of life are no more necessary
o him than the imperative need of
MS wife and children for the protec-
ion which his policy will afford In
he event OF his DEATH This advice
0 agents then follows:
1.-The contract should be adapted TO

o the scale of commissions. After

policy has been delivered it is well
to keep in touch with the insured.
The personal equation is a vital fac
tor, and a friendly interest tactfully
exhibited from time to time empha-
sizes the family relation into which
the policyholder has entered. No
policyholder should be allowed to
lapse his insurance until every at
tempt has been made, during repeat
ed interviews If necessary, to protect
his interests. If in spite Of this he
cancels his policy, he should still be
considered a member of the insurance
family, although temporarily away
from home. Thus he should be visited
at reasonable intervals until revival
application is secured, and re-instate-
ment of the insurance should not be
retarded by any unreasonable restric-
TONS
Every legitimate means should be
employed to discourage borrowing on
the policy and systematic efforts
should be made to induce repayment
of loans as quickly as possible, in
order to restore to the policy its full
value. Since only per cent. or
per cent. of the loans are repaid and
the lapse rate of policies upon which
loans have been made Is excessive,
the Importance of this matter is evil
dent. Special attention should be
given to every case of change In resi-
dence, In order that the policyholders'
welfare and convenience may be con-
served. In offices where enough men
are employed to Justify frequent con-
ferences on methods, 1t Is well to
make the conservation of business
one of the principal topics for discuss
sion. Every influence should be ex-
erted to prevent the surrender of an
old policy In order to take out new
insurance. Unfailing courtesy and
consideration toward pollcyholders
exhibited with convincing sincerity
on every possible occasion will bind
more closely the tie of insurance
brotherhood In the interest of all con-
cerned."

viction with every word. Being the
wife of a lawyer, as well as a practical

questions pertaining to the moral is
sues of the day. She told us Of the
work done in Washington, and showed
us the powerful weapons for moral up
lift which we Of Oregon possess in the
new laws passed by the last legisla-
ture.
She in an especial manner commend
ed Governor West for his influence in
passing those laws, she said, although
she was a staunch prohibitionist, yet
if she ever had a chance to vote for
Governor West, she would for once
scratch his ticket and vote for a Dem
Ocrat. She told us of the wonderful
influence of the women s vote in Wash
ington and California, and presently in
Oregon as soon as they have had a
chance to make themselves heard in
state election.
She expressed regret that we should
still retain on our statute books that
relic of the dark ages, the death pen.

for about 95 per cent of our crime,
why not Danish the cause, rather than
kill the man who is simply the effect
of that cause, she argued.
She brought the science of cold facts
to bear on the liquor question, quoting
from medical authority, insurance sta.
tistics and even from the liquor dealers
themselves. She told of visiting the
Anheuser Busch brewery in st. Louis,
the largest brewery in the world
where from 1000 to 1,5OO boys and
girls are employed sacrifices on the
altar Of Moloch.
She told us of the many encourag-
ing features of our work, especially the
passing of the Webb 'bill over Presi.
dent Taft's veto. This bill will do
more to help enforce laws in dry terri
tory than all else combined It is one
We have been asking for, for twelve
years.
A small but appreciative audience
greeted Mrs. Silbaugh. The results
were summed up in eight new members
to our union and over $40 collection
for Oregon state work.
