OREGON GIVES AMERICA
 ANOTHER REAL BURBANK
Social Service Department Fly MRS. SIDNEY M. ULLMAN

The Literary Digest in a recent article tells us we have found another Bur bank tucked away in the beautiful Will lamette valley of Oregon, this new Bur banker is a priest, by name, Rev. George Schooner already a great many people have heard of his success with Roses but few know of his other achievements in the floral world
 This scientist bids fair to out Burbank, Burbank. An article in the Portland Ore gonian says Father Schooner is train ed botanist and scientist, and his work is carried on entirely along scientific lines"
 Like most prophets, this man is lfrtfe known in his own country but is re- garded highly in England, France and est exponent of Mendalism living.
 This year he has already sent to the department of agriculture of the United States 1000 plants for testing and analyses.
 He has no assistance and little funds being a poor parish priest yet the man loves his work so much he assumes any burden cheerfully and is known to carry water half the night to keep some plants from starving during the long summer, for the loss of one seeding might be the undoing of more than a years work
 Father Schoener's work. although handi- capped and cramped, is succeeding in many ways and through his knowledge of

JACKSONVILLE FIRE LOSS ABOUT S42,000
Total Insurance of $3O,OOO Carried-Students Being
 Well Cared For

Jacksonville, October 25.-(Specal. )-Dr. c. w. Daugette, president of the State Normal school at Jacksonville, in conver- sation with a representative of The Age Herald yesterday, said: ''The loss caused by fire which destroyed our new dormi- tory on Saturday night was approximately $42,OO0, instead of $lO,O00, as reported in the papers of Sunday morning. We esti- mate that the salvage will amount to something like s6000."
 To offset this the state has insurance fixtures for $5000-a total of s3o.O00. The contractors policy on the building ex- pired only five hours before the fire was discovered.
 Supt w. F. Feagin of the State Normal schools will arrive in Jacksonville, via Birmingham. on Tuesday morning and steps will at once be taken looking to the immediate replacement of the de- stroyed building.
 The female students of the normal col lege are being cared for now in Atkins hall, and male students in the old dormi- tory which was untouched by the disaster Saturday.
 President Daugette is especially anxious that the parents of young lady students should know that adequate arrangements have been made for taking care, ont only of the students already attending, but also all who had intended coming in the next two months.
 The work of clearing away the debris of fallen walls of the burned building was going forward yesterday and recon struction will be carried forward with all possible speed.

The Best Hours of the Day
From the London Chronicle.


 You know some feeble old lady who can no longer go out. Spend one of your idlo hours with her and tell her of the great world around her. Watch the eager olc face grow childlike in its wonder. That will be one of the very best hours of your day If you know a woman whose child is i'll and whose husband is out of employment, don't waste her time and yours by visiting her and telling her 1t is too bad she has so much trouble. Let your interest and sympathy be closely associated with your pocketbpok. Send her a cou- pie of dollars worth of groceries or a piece of nourishing meat. If you have any tact at all you caii make it right with her-tell her you've known hard times yourself. She will accept your right thought in the light spirit and will go down to the grave with your name written across Ter heart.
 If you fill your hoursleven with those simple little occupatitns you'll soon forget your ills, which heretofore have been purely imaginar5 and as your busy days succeed ea&i other like a string of golden beadt. if you really do become i'll. you'll wint to keep from paining anyone by telling about 1t.

| botany and his faith in the theory of Mendal and his skilful fingers he has gained many results that are concrete
 and practical.
 One of his most astounding adventures Is the making of an edible rose crossing of the Spitzenberg and Jonathan apple, with 8 rose plant in an attempt to make fruit follow the flower.
 Englands greatest rosarian, Miss A. E. Wilmott who is recognized as the worlds greatest authority on wild roses, is very much interested in the Oregon priest. Father Schooner has also brought forth new berry as a result of crossing the blackberry and the Oregon wild black berry and when this berry is improved to it's highest degree it will have the largest yielding quality of any kind of berry known. He believes that the com
 mon crab apple properly nourished has in it the quality that will develop into a
 really good apple and eventually will be
 the most perfect apple as to size, color and quality in the world.
 His experiments and progress with nuts, both wild and cultivated cover a wide range, as does also his work with vari- ous bulbs and flowers, such dahlias, gladioli, and tulips. Take also his work with ornamental shrubs. just one, for instance, and how many in Oregon know that he has produced a hawthorn with , beautiful red crimson fruit? Think of eating large, fine, ripe cherries from the tree in September. yet Father Schooner hopes ito make this reality within the next year or so, for he has already
 achieved distinct and successful steps
 along this one line. Then, also, there is tenderly cared for in his graden hardy l apricot and his work of improving prunes
 and plums is another big undertaking that will bear results.
 | It Is time, we are thus shown, that | Father Schooner should be recognized in ] this country as one of our great men. His work with roses alone proclaims his
 worth, and, in England.
 l The enthusiasts of that country look
 with confidence to him to develop future
 roses that will outrival anything now known. for it is firmly established not l only in England but also among the great rosarians of the east of this coun- l try, like E. G. Hill and Robert Pyle | that by the careful scientific following of Mendel's theory they look to him for | the successful demonstration of this theory, as it is realized that his scientific
 attachments are such that if the theory 1 is to be demonstrated in roses he is the 1 logical demonstration.

Complete recovery is announced of

The Boy S Vacation

What is your boy doing this sum-
mer vacation? Has he something to
do each day these three months as
definite and educational as he had
during the preceding nine school
months? II not, why not? Does he
need three months of undirected,
aimless rest If he is healthy boy
he does not. Indeed, such vacation
may be demoralizing.
1t is not the greatest Indictment Of
our school system that our sons when
graduated are untitled for skilled
work. 1t Is that they have not been
taught to like full days work. "A
boys school day, school week, school
year is not full day, week or year.
A full program is necessary to full
education.
Our schools are not expected to
furnish full program, though many
parents have come to expect it. Six
hours of each FIVE days through nine
months is not working year. What
sport or work fills out the remainder
Of the time ought to be definitely
done.
No healthy DO yneeds to lie about
and rest, till he must devise new en-
tertainment to vary the monotony of
rest. This is but preparation for habi.
tual idleness. The boys unfitness for
work at graduation is not to any
great extent the fault of the school.
1t is the fault of his father who was
too busy with business to save his
son; to lay out daily programs and
watch them done; to direct, to coun-
sci, to command.
