Alden of Willamette uni versity. yne athletic department,, at its session, took a stand against all post-season games with outside teams, on the grounds that such contests extend the athletic season to a point where they interfere with scholastic work, and also that the long trips taken in such connection are inadvisable. Arbuckle "Pardon" Ansnlltd. Action on matters both of "public and of technical interest which had been taken by the association sessions was put into con crete form yesterday with the read ing ana adoption at the closing ses- omu. or. a. loug series of resolutions. Among these .perhaps the one at tracting most attention was that airecieu against Koscoe ("Fatty") Arouume, motion picture actor re cently reinstated by Will Hays. The resolution placed the teachers' body definitely in line with a number of other bodies in the, state who feel that the return of Arbuckle to the screen should not be countenanced . "Be it resolved that we," said the jitduckib resolution in suhstano "protest emphatically the action of -Will Hays in the reinstatement of Roscoe Arbuckle as an actor in the motion picture industry in this country, believing that the vicious iiuiunety wmcn nas become asso ciated with Arbuckle's name would uuuiitm.e in sucn a position a most Pernicious imiuence for evil." runner, the resolution held, me time nas come, in view of the ;sing tide of Juvenile crime in America, when the educated world iiiuoi uenounce with alarm the wueauonaoie moral iite of those who io participating in the motion pic vure maustry, ana the continued exploitation upon the screen be fArQ . 4 . . .... ' . 1 youtn oi our ia.ua, me most aeDasmg exaggera tion ui sex relations and general criminal acnievements." Mlllnge Tax la Demanded. Turning to other fields the asso ciation, through Its sheaf of reso lutlons, extended congratulations ana Dest wisnes .to the recently re elected state superintendent of edu cation, ana congratulations to Willa mette university upon the success lui raising or her endowment. Anomer resolution urgea a more equitable distrihution of state taxes, but opposed any tendency toward reduction or taxation through modi fication of the millage tax law in any other Way at the expense of the present efficiency of the school bill, now pending in congress, for the establishment of a federal de partment of education, was urged. Legislation looking toward reor ganization of county institutes, to provide for centralized government, state and county control, was urged, as was the Dassatte by the forth L coming session of the legislature of an act appropriating money to pro vide readers for tle blind students of the University of Oregon and state institutions of learning. Free Textbook Urged. Turning to the textbook problem, the teachers urged the adoption of the free textbook system for all ele mentary schools of the state, with the Drovision that funds for pur chase of such textbooks be provided by the state. It was also urged that the meeting time of the-'textbook commission be cnangea trom june to November, ana that approxi mately one-third of the textbooks should be adopted every two years, to be used for six years. The action of the representative council in providing a teachers' , placement bureau to replace private employment . agencies was com mended, but the bureau was ad vised to .go forward slowly, and not to jeopardize the suceess of the movement by hasty action. At the closing session Will : C. Wood, California state superintend ent of public instruction, and Dr. A. E. Winship, editor of the Journal of Education. Boston, were again the speakers, dealing with modern trends in educational thought. Registrars Hold Session.

Schlauch, Linfteld college, president; Bertha Brainard, Oregon Normal school, vice-president; E. B. Lemon, Oregon Agricultural college, 'secretary-treasurer. ' T niform Credential Favored.
