during the first and second Liberty
loan drives that the intensive canvass
being made for subscriptions would
have a disastrous effect on their de-
posts. The total amount of Liberty
bonds owned by the national banks of
the United States on March (, 1918,
was $433, 738,000. indicating that the
distribution of the Liberty loan bonds
among individuals in accordance with

IF WE ONLY UNDERSTOOD

Could we but draw the curtain
That surrounds each other lives,
Sec the naked heart and spirit,
Know what spur the action gives,
Often we should find it clearer,
Purer than we judge we should
We would love each other better,
If we only understood.
Could we Judge all deeds by motives,
See the good and bad within,
Often we would love the sinner,
All the while we loathed the sin.
Could we know the powers working
To Overthrow integrity,
We would judge each others errors
With more patient charity.
If we knew the cares and tr1als
Knew the effort all in vain,
All the bitter disappointment,
Understood the loss and pam;
Would the grim external roughness
Seem, l wonder, just the sameF
Would we help where nov we hinder
Would we pity where we blameF
Al, we Judge each other harshly,
knowing not life s hidden force;
knowing not the fount of action
Is less turbulent as its source;
not amid the evil
All the golden grains Of good
we'd love each other better,
If we only understood

The Story Grew Until
Its Author Could No
Longer Recognize II

R. B. Gcodin, secretary of the board
of control, is feeling like the man who
took a guest into his home, treated
him to the bert the house afforded,
and then the honored guest goes out
and does a lot of Knocking as a re-
ward for courtesies extended.
When the sociology class of one of
the Portland high schools was on a
visit last week, its members were en-
tertained and given meals at the var
ious state institutions. One of the Wis
it's was at the Oregon state industrial
school for girls. In explaining the meth
cd of handling the girls, n of the
teachers remarked that often refrac-
tory girls were put in a room by
themselves for only a day, and that for
cne of the three daily meals, she was
put on short rations principally bread
and water.
By the time the visitors returned TO
their home ir Portland, one of them
gave out that it was a custom of the
Institution to first break the spirit OF
the girls who might enter the school
by placing them for a whole week in
solitary confinement and with only
a bread and water diet.
The sorry had no foundation Of
truth but was given wide circulation
in a Portland paper and Mr.. Goodin
feels that the public should know first
that there was absolutely no truth in
it and second that the institution has
never approved of SOLITARY confinement
or a restricted diet.
