PENDLETON HIGH SCHOOL ADOPTS
PLAN TO DEVELOP INDIVIDUAL BENT

THE individual first. the system
second Is the motto the Pendleton
high school has adopted in its prep
aration OF the city's young people for
life careers, and, in conformance with
that policy. changes have this year
been made in the curriculum so
that the boy and girl may have some
studies In this the school is but
showing that it is keeping abreast Of
the times. for the Whole tendency Of
modern education. according to the
best authorities, is to fit the course
of study to the individual student so
tli4t his or her natural benz may be
developed
Heretofore. the course which the
local high school student has taken
has been largely prescribed and he
or she was required to take certain
studies. regardless of whether or not
they had any natural aptitude for
them. IT was like having one model
from which TO cut the cloth for all
How out OF fifteen units necessary
for graduation. only three are abso-
lutely required. The remainder are
more or less optional.
The Present System
Under the new system at the PEN
dleton high school a student must
take two major and one minor course
unit is a subject running through
the entire school year with five reci-
tations a week. Each major repre-.
sents three units and a minor two
units. Thus his mayors ana MINORS
will give student eight of the fif-
teen units necessary for graduation
The remaining seven may be chosen
at large from any course in the
school.
However one of the majors and
the minor is optional. The only alb
solute requirement from every stu
dent is major in English. that is
every student is required to make
three units in English. He or she
may choose the other major from the
courses offered. science. mathematics
history. language or industry. accord
Ing TO their natural bent The mi
nor, too, may be selected from these
courses. After this is done. the stu
dent is free to make the remainder of
the units where he or she pleases. all
in one branch or in a half dozen diff
ferent branches
System Works.
THE system operates splendidly"
declared Principal A. c. Hampton. in
speaking of the changes. For in
stance. under the old system. one
year of physics was absolutely requir-
ed for graduation. I recall one stu
dent who positively could not master
that subject sufficiently to secure
passing grades. Yet he was conspic-
uously bright in history and was
very good English student. But he
could not graduate because he could
not make his physics credit. Now he
is back in school and taking courses
for which he has natural aptitude
and is doing fine work.
The Pendleton high school is not
unique In the employment of this new
system We are but simply trying
to keep abreast of the times. Our
system is in line with the recommen-
datons made by committee OF nine
from the National Education Associa-
ton. composed OF the following prom
inent educators: Clarence d. Kings
ley. principal of the Manual Training

CASES Of GUNMEN ARE
ARGUED BEFORE COURT
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRE.l

Albany, N. Y, Oct. 13.-Arguments
on the appeal Of ex-Police Lieutenant
Charles Becker and his four Rosen.
thai gunmen from sentence of death,
were begun today before the court of
appeals. The arguments were to have
been made some weeks ago but the Sui
ger impeachment proceedings at which
the court of appeals judges sat as
members of the impeachment court,
made necessary the postponement un-
til today. Speedy decisions in the
Becker-gunmen cases are expected.
Should the court decide against the
condemned men it seemed sertain today
that further appeal would be taken
to the United States supreme court.
This would mean that the men con.
victed of the sensational killing Of
Gambler Rosenthal will not be executed
for many months at least.

TIM WOODRUFF DEAD
AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS

New York, Oct. 13.-Timothy L.
Wooruff, former Acknowledgements of
New York state, died at 9:15 clock
last night. He had lain in critical
condition for nearly two weeks after
having been stricken with paralysis
while addressing fusion party rally
in this city. He was So years old.
The former lieutenant-governor was
first stricken on the night of Septem-
ber 29, last on the platform in Cooper
Union at fusion ratification meeting
while making stirring speech.
Born in New Haven, Conn, So years
ago and graduate from Yale univer-
sity in the class of 1879, Mr.. Woodruff
shortly after began to take an active
part in politics as Republican. He
was an active political figure in New
York state for nearly 80 years, and un-
til a year ago, when he left that party
and joined the Progressives, his name
was nearly always to be found in the
roll of Republican. national, state and
city conventions.
AS delegate from New York in the
Republican national convention of 1908
he nominated James s. Sherman for
vice-president. He ran for lieutenant
governor in 1896, was elected and re-
nominated in 1898 and again in 1900.

GOSPEL BOAT WILL
AGAIN SAVE SINNERS
UNITED PRESS LEASED wrRn.l

Cleveland, o., Oct 13.-The good
ship Gospel Boat, piloted through the
water front section and the residential
district, and from which Chaplain j.
D. Jones, former sailor and civil war
veteran, will fish for the souls of men,
is expected once more to become ia
miliar sight to Clevelanders. And John
D. Rockefeller may be her sponsor.
The Gospel Boat was launched twelve
years ago by Chaplain Jones as the
Floating Bethel Mission. She is an
eighteen foot yawl mounted on wheels
and drawn by a team of horses. She
made port wherever crowd could be
gathered. Within her cockpit stood
an alter, a pile of hymn books and
melodeon. At her port and star
board bows hung the regulation red
and green lights. At her stern floated
the Stars and Stripes.
A few years ago the failing health
of Chaplain Jones forced him to turn
the helm over to Rev. Henry Hager,
then pastor of the Euclid Avenue Bap.
tist church, better known as John D.
Rockefeller's church. It is through
the rector of the Euclid Avenue house
of worship that Rockefeller gives much
of benefactions. A short time later
the boat was dry-docked" in barn
and has lain there ever since. But now
her original pilot has come back. A
few days ago he attended services at
the Euclid Avenue Baptist church and
spoke to the Oil King and the pastor,
Rev. W. W. Bustard, concerning plac-
ing the boat again in commission. It
is said Rockefeller heartily agreed to
aid in the re-launching.

BATHING FOR GIRLS IN
PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF SALEM

Editor Capital Journal:
l read in your paper the other night
that the city school physician has rec
commended a shower bath system for
girls installed in the high school for the
betterment of the coming generations.
Of course, he is doctor and speaks
whereof he knows-probably-but what
are the mothers of our country doing,
and what are they going to do in the
future about raising their familiesi Are
we going to commence with the kin
dergarten and install apparatus in our
public schools covering all the details
of the home, such as washing dishes,
making beds, darning stockings, frying
chicken and keeping house generally
I don't mean to be a pessimist or a
knocker, and would say that that the
best is none too good, especially for
our young girls, whom the doctor says
are coming into womanhood-b it oc-
ours to me that personal cleanliness and
bathing are home duties, and should be
attended to there.
Physiology teaches the necessity Of
bathing, of sunshine and Of exercise,
and it is taught in the public schools.
IF we were out of debt and had mon.
ey to burn it might be wise to equip
our schools and create more offices and
hire more instructors to teach the
rising generation things they should
learn at their homes and remove all re.
sponsibilities of their parents, but with
our half million.dollar Indebtedness,
and taxes going out of sight, I think
it is high time to cut out whole lot Of
this unnecessary expense.

wonderful bit of play writing. The
auditor is to form different idea as to

is conclusive. While the play itself is
