4 SCHOOL CREDIT SYSTEM.

Down in Glenn county, California,
the school authorities have been test
ing out for the past year the plan OF
giving pupils credit for work done
at home. 1t is said to have worked
wonders, and report has 1t that no
longer do the boys protest with the
violence OF old at the Saturday night
bath, and the girls are said to wash
and wipe the dishes as though they
considered II pleasure rather than
an irksonne duty. The superintendent
Of schools is giving credits for aetiyi-
ties outside the school room. espe-
cially in the home, and the system is
even more successful than its in
ventor had anticipated. In outlining
the work Of his system for the United
Press, Supt. Cheney said;
I'm the installation of the method
Of allowing credits for outside activi-
ties, / had In mind several purposes.
Perhaps the greatest benefit we ex-
pected to derive from the plan was
to bring into closer relationship the
home and the school.
"By this method we hoped to get
the teacher more interested in what
the pupils we're doing at home, and
likewise to get the parents to under
stand little better what was being
done at school. Another idea was
to impress upon pupils the import
ance and dignity Of labor
II find more good coming from
this method than had hoped. When
the boys and girls find that the teach
er is really interested in what they
do at home and talks to them about

VERDUN BATTLE.


the presidents determination to force
the issue. Wilson's request was gen.
orally interpreted as meaning that a
poll OF sentiment at the capitol show
cd enough votes to defeat any refiec-
tion upon the presidents position.
In sending his message to Pou. the
president pointed out that foreign
capitals might be adversely influenced
by news OF any lack Of support for
the government; he said stories OF
differences were being made indus
trious use of" abroad.
The, president favored q test OF
strength Saturday. but decided to
postpone the action.
Agitation was renewed today for
the president to appear at an execu-
tive session OF congress with spe-
cial message about the dealings with
the central powers. inasmuch as the
republicans object to voting on for
eign questions ''in the dark"
The president wrote Pou rather
than some other leader. II became
known today, because Pou took so
great an interest last week when the
lid threatened to come on in con-
gress that he left sick bed to sur
vey the situation.
Immediately afterward the North
Carolina congressman wrote the pre-
sident that a warning resolution
would be defeated. He told Wilson
the only way that the warning could
reach the floor would be by special
rule, and that II would have no
chance to get out, because practically
the entire rules committee supported
the executive.
II is known that Wilson's friends
have been working strenuously for
DISQUALIFICATION votes since last
Friday.
A complication in the Wilson pro-
gram of getting a vote came today.

Inouncement that he would object to
unanimous consent for immediate
consideration OF a resolution sup

cided right off the bat or In a hurry"

THE TOURIST CAMP GROUND.

A year ago the Courier first agi-
tated the matter OF a free camping
ground for auto tourists, and the
grounds adjoining the Riverside park
were the first prepared for the ac-
commodation Of the traveller. Later
the idea was enlarged upon by . num-
her Of progressive communities, and
now it has become . fixture as fea-
tlre Of municipal life. At Roseburg
the city council. the merchants asso-
ciation and the Commercial club are
cooperating thus early In the season,
and the business men have pledged
$500 for the preparing Of the camp
site. It has been proved by the OPP
esation Of the camp ground In Grants
Pass during the past year that aside
from the providing Of convenlences
for the traveller there is commercial
side to the question that is Of con-
siderable magnitude. At first the
hotel and garage men thought a free
camp ground might hurt their busi-
ness, but experience has proved the
contrary-the camp ground brought
thousands Of dollars to the business
establishments Of Grants Pass. The
tourist season will soon be in full
swing again. and arrangement
should now be made for the estab
lishment and maintenance of TN
camp ground upon much more ella
borate scale than last season. M

Thus the possibilities OF that teacher

''Then the boy or girl who finds II
almost impossible to learn things

ing that heretofore 1t was alrnos: as
hard work to get the youngsters to
do, chores and assist with the work at
home as to do It themselves, but
that since credit is given at school
for these things the work is done
and better. Many girls
who did not want to assist with the
cooking are now anxious to learn so
they may be able to prepare a meal
by themselves.

Former Schoolmates Picnic.

In Lithia park on Sunday, the
oath, w. ]. Dean called together his
former students, whom he taught at
the Wagner Creek school thirty-two
years ago. The object of this meet
ing was to get together the members
of the old class, who for various
reasons could not attend the picnic
given in the park on Sunday, the
10th, when the old class was reor-
ganized. After dinner few toasts
were given and an interesting letter
from an absent member was read.
Mr.. Dean delivered a short address
on mental science, pointing out the
Importance of always looking on the
bright side of life. Then a few old
school songs, such as "Old Dog
Tray" were sung. About eighty
were present, including twenty-five
of the old scholars and their families
and neighbors, thus proving love for
Mr.. Dean and the appreciation of his
earnest work.

evening. The former argued con-
vincingly for the defeat of the pro-
posed brewers amendment and then,
after iterating and reiterating that
he was a republican, stated that he
was going to vote for Hanly and
Landrith, for the purpose of helping
make 1t an object for the old parties
to endorse prohibition. Mr.. Reed
predicted that Hanly would poll a
million votes this fall and that as a
result both old parties would put a
prohibition plank in their platforms
in 1920.
Ben Sheldon gave a clear and
comprehensive statement of the nor
NAL school situation, showing how it
was tn duty of southern Oregon vot-
ers to support the Pendleton normal
bill, because this will convince the
legislators and other people of the
state that we are interested in Ore
gon normal schools in general, as
well as our own normal school in
particular, thus making it easier to
secure the reopening of the Southern
Oregon Normal either by legislative
enactment or by again submitting
the question to the voters Of the
state. Mr.. Sheldon said that during
the past few years the people of Ore
gon had come to think more favor
ably of normal schools, since they
were beginning to realize that only
by the location of such institutions
in different parts of the state can
our teachers secure adequate train
ing for their work. Those who heard
Mr.. Sheldon Tuesday evening for the
first time were impressed with his
logical, forceful manner of speaking
high ideals, earnestness and honesty
of purpose.

spired by the. coming marriage of
Miss Vivian Greer, who will become

miscellaneous shower given by Miss

Tuesday afternoon. A profusion of

was conducted in an unique man
ner Miss Greer being handed a note
which directed her to the hiding
place of one of the score of beauti-
full gifts which her friends showered
upon her. Each package contained
directions for finding the next, and
a merry time was enjoyed by both
the recipient and the giyers in the
hunt which followed. Dainty re-
freshments were served during the
course of the affair. The afternoon
slipped away quickly while the
guests engaged in the rather prosaic
and yet interesting occupation of

past three years. Mr.. MacAllister
was a local high school graduate and
is remembered by a host of friends
in this city. The Riverside Enter
prise tells of the happy event as
follows. A quiet wedding occurred
this afternoon at 3 O'Clock at the
home of Mrs. Nellie L. Densmore OF
1857 West Seventh street, when
Miss Helen q. Gill of Los Angeles,
niece of the late Judge Densmore,
became the bride of Donald MacAl-
lister of Hollywood. The severe
simplicity of the service lent an ad-
ded note of solemnity to the happy
occasion. which was witnessed only
by the very near relatives of the
young people. The house was
charmingly, though simply decorated
in quantities of feathery asparague
fern and pale pink ivy geraniums
and asters The archway between
the living room and reception room
where the couple stood while Rev.
MacAllister of Hollywood, father OF
the groom, read the short but i'm
pressive words of the service, was
transformed into pretty bower with
trailing streamers of the asparagus
fern combined with pink asters. The
bride was charmingly attired in a
simple but most becoming gown of
white crepe de chene combined with
white taffeta. Immediately after
the ceremony tempting ice course
was served in the dining room in
which the color note of pale pink
and white was attractively carried
out in the various appointments OF
the table, which held, besides the
brides cake, an immense bouquet
OF pink asters and fern.
Mr.. and Mrs. MacAllister left
this afternoon for Los Angeles
where they will make their future
home. The brides travelling dress
was a pretty fall suit of dark blue
cloth worn with a blouse to match
and her hat was one of the early
models in felt Mrs. MacAllister
made her home in Riverside until
several years ago. She attended the
girls high school and was active in
church and social circles and has
many friends here who will be in
terested to hear of her marriage.
