Contributions for flood sufferers of
Ohio and Indiana are coming in rapidly,
and there seems to be a disposition
among the Salem people to give all
they can. Churches are taking hand
in the campaign, and will raise substan.

ern Pacific to transport carload lots of
potatoes, flour and other necessities
free of charge will greatly aid in solv.
ing the problem, Connecting lines in
the east have made similar offers.
The benefit performance given at
the Wexford theatre yesterday yielded
total of $4O.O5 and Ye Liberty took
in a total of $4s.4Q Change cOntribut.
ed by fatrons of Ye Liberty totaled
$3.45 and at the Wexford $40. The re.

Ladd & Bush, who are taking care of all
the contributions in Salem.
The Salem band serenaded Ye Lib

TO TEACH WEBFOOT
PURE BOSTONESE
Superintendent Alderman Has
Plan for Exchanging School
Teachers.
GET THE FoUR-EYED KIND
The MellifluOus Chinook Would Give
Place to Pure BaKed-Bean
Vocabulary,
Get THE FOUR-EYED KIND

What is perhaps the most unique
method for the training of teachers ey-
er devised has been Matched from the
fertile brain Of State Superintendent
Alderman. The Oregon educator, while
on his recent visit eeast, made arrange
ments with New England educators for
an exchange Of teachers between New
England and Oregon,
The plan is that certain teachers des-
ignated by the state departments Of the
states in which they are employed, If
they desire, be exchanged for year
for teachers at the opposite side of the
continent. The plan was suggested to
Superintendent Alderman through a
study of an European custom Of ex-
changing students. In Germany and
England, German students desiring to
study the English language, and Eng
lish students desiring to master Ger
man are sometimes exchanged, the Eng
lish student going to live with good
German family, and the German student
going to live with a good English fam
| lily.
While in Brockton, Mass, Mr., Alder.
man made arrau gehents wit The cay
superintendent to exchange teachers for
year Some high school teachers, and
some grammar grade teachers will be
listed for exchange. "This will give
some Oregon teachers an opportunity to
live in New England for year, and
to come into close touch with this great
center of intellectual activity" said
Superintendent Alderman. cit will
give the Massachusetts, teachers q
chance to visit the west, and will give
them the inspiration that may be had
here. ! am taking this up with several
other Massachusetts teachers, with the
idea that this might be carried on to
still greater extent to the benefit Of
Oregon and Massachusetts, teachers, as
well as the communities in which they
teach. This year being the first time
the plan his been tried, it can be car.
ricd on only to a limited extent, Tho
salary paid in these places is nearly tho
same. The understanding, of course, is
that the positions will be kept for the
teachers in their home states for the
following years"
