G TIIE- SUNDAY OltEGONTAN, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 9, 1919. DUTY OF UNIVERSITY Tfl IUIAIU iu President of Stanford Says Institution Is Guide. EDUCATION ONLY SAFETY Ample Return for Extra Service Given by Teacher Advocated at Conference. COLUJIBys, O., Nov. 8. Ray Lyman Wilbur, president of Leland Stanford Junior university, speaking at the 21 at annual conference of the Association of American universities, said the uni versity is primarily organized to bring the minds of the older generation in fertile contact with the minds of the new. Its libraries, laboratories, muse ums are all accessories to this process, de declared in speaking on "Remuner ative Extra-University Activities."' President Wilbur said he preferred to think of the university as a guide far out in front of the main current of civilization, finding the way and pointing it out. "Surely in democracy education alone provides safety," he said, "and the university should be at the very forefront in intimate touch with the needs, hopes and aspirations of the race. The problem of the university then is not to build up barriers with in which to work, but to study out how it can best carry out its real pur pose of stimulating new young minds, developing scnolarship and of holding intellectual leadership. Free Service IMncouraged. "If civilization needs outside serv ice from our teachers, it should be given in such a way as not to defeat the purposes of the university and at a price for free treatment begets no respect. Our experiences show in creased production is the basis for a higher standard of living and that production grows with knowledge. It then becomes imperative for univer sity men to place their high knowl edge at the easy disposal of the public. "The question is largely how can this be done, rather than one of prin ciples involved. Universities have practically always recognized activi ties of this sort. "The control of brains is always a difficult task. Thoughts are hard to value in dollars and cents; minds will work on when once well set in mo tion. Our plans then should be along lines of control of abuses and the preservation of that scholarship that develops with, leisure and the propin quity of books, apparatus, students and fellow teachers, and without undue hampering of opportunities to render general service to society. Professors should not do chores for the' public. They should be able to render the highest grade of service in their chosen fields. Tim to Be Divided. "Practically we must realize that there is no perfect system possible for the control of the extra-university activities of the faculty. The students, as custodians of the future, are the primary but not the only interest. The time of each teacher will be divided in varying proportion between class room, study, research, domestic, social and public duties. "The amusing attempt of legislative committees and others to measure the professor's work and his mental activ ity by the yard, or hour, or pound, or page, indicate how our love of system and so-called 'efficiency' often leads us to do foolish things. "No such standards can apply where the results take the form largely of ideas sown In the minds of youth to spring forth fruitful, perhaps only after decades. Each university teacher should be, beyond a certain necessary minimum of university work, more or less a law unto himself, depending upon the proportions present in him of those various qualities that have led him Into this particular type of life work. "Throughout all our dicussion it must be kept in mind that the purpose of extra-university work is not pri marily to render personal service or to secure enlarged financial returns to an individual or corporation inviting assistance, but to do pioneering work, discover and publish new facts and render public service." TAKAHIRA URGES CALM STATESMAN RECALLS FAMOUS ROOT AGREEMENT. Proper Treatment of China' by Nip pon Held Basis of Friendly Dealings With America. TOKIO, Bept. 80. (By the Assoc! ated Press.) Beller mat if Japan's diplomacy towards China were con ducted so as to really promote the friendly relations between these two countries all troublesome questions between Japan and the United 6tates would disappear, is expressed by Baron Kogoro Takahira, one of the authors of the famous Takahlra-Root agreement. The baron, who formerly was ambassador to the United States, gave his opinion in an interview to the Telkoku News Agency, one of the important news gathering institutions of Japan. Referring to the agreement, wheih was made with Elihu Root, the baron said : s - "Tha object of the agreement, which was proposed at Japan's in stance, was to avert collision of in terest in China of the high contract ing parties and to cement the bond of permanent amity and cordiality be tween them. At that time there were evident indications of the growth of anti-Japanese sentiments pervading China, while on the Pacific many problems threatening the Interests of Japan and the Japanese were brewing in Hawaii and the Philippines. The situation and gloomy outlook gave rise to wild rumors calculated to be detrimental to the interests of and friendly relations between the two countries. "The imperial government, thereon proposed to America to enter upon negotiations for the conclusion of an agreement which resulted in the com ing into existence of the Takahira Root agreement, with a view to sweep away all such injurious sensational rumors. The agreement is sincere and candid in itself, and it is tanta mount to attempt to break a sealed bond to question the virtue of the agreement or its power to control in ternational relations. "Every country has a number of men of Jingoistic type, who from their different standpoints make it their business to work against the interests of other countries. With regard to the American-Japanese questions whieV have come to arrest the keen atten tion of the public of late, I must warn. SHOWN i n muuu the Japanese people not to give credit to what is reported from time to time by dispatches, but to wait and see the development of the situation, main taining a clam and magnanimous at titude. "At the same time I must call the attention of my countymen to the fact that most of the disputes and dissen sions between Japan and America in variably arise from Chinese questions and, if Japan's diplomacy toward China be guided and conducted in a proper way so as really to promote the friendship between the two coun tries, all troublesome questions or complications between Japan and America will disappear. And yet 1 must admit that the settlement of the pending Chino-Japanese questions is the hardest of all difficult tasks." MEXICO CENSORS FILMS TWO TOIXG WOMEN PTJT IX CHARGE OP PROPAGANDA. Educational Latin-American Views to Be Shown in ITnited States and In Europe. MEXICO CITT, Oct. 15. By the As sociated Press.) Two young Mexican women have been placed in control of the censorship and development of motion picture films In Mexico. They are Miss Adrlana S. Ehlers, who will act as chief censor, and Miss Dolores L. Ehlers, who will have charge of the work of producing Mexican films to be distributed in the United States, Europe and Latin-American countries. The purpose of thia widespread dis tribution of the Mexican films is an nounced to be to clear away many of the misunderstandings that are said to exist regarding Mexico. In addition, the two young women are to have charge of the making of educational films to be exhibited free of cost to natives of Mexico to teach Mexicans modern methods of living1. The two young women will act under the direction of the department of the interior. Films showing the life and indus tries of Mexico are being prepared un der the direction of Miss Dolores L. Ehlers. who has a staff taking pic tures in different parts of the republic. These are to be distributed by co-operation of the United States bureau of commercial rconomics in virtually every country In the western hemi sphere. Censorship Is to be rigorous. All undesirable films, such as grew some murders and immoral pictures, now widely shown and patronized by the poorer people, are to be barred from the public by Miss Adriana S. Ehlers. The smuggling of films across the American border is to be stopped. As 85 per cent of the population of Mexico is illiterate, films have been adopted as the only means of educat ing people who cannot read or write. The Misses Ehlers were selected by President Carranza through means of a motion picture scholarship and sent thre years ago to the United States to study the possibilities of motion picture business from a national standpoint. They first took a course in the mechanics of motion picture work at Boston, later studied the work of large film companies In New York, and subsequently were permit ted to work in the photographic sec tion of the war department at Wash ington. It is announced that begin ning November 1 they will have com. plete charge of the entire film indus try in Mexico. Obituary. STEVENSON". Wash.. Nov. 8. (Spe cial.)

Vse of Electricity for Light ins Dwlared to Be Only in First Stages of Development. CHICAGO, No-. 8. The fortieth blrtl day of the incandescent light bulb was celebrated here recently when the delegates to the convention of the Illuminating Engineering So ciety of America met on a date es pecially arranged to coincide with the anniversary. Speakers recalled tHat the announcement by Thomas A. Edi son, October 21, 1879. that he had per fected an Incandescent lamp that would really "light," waa received with good-natured ridicule. But so rapid was the development of the in vention and recognition of the ac ccmplf shment that on the following Christmaa eve an excursion train was run from New York to West Orange. N. J., carrying a throng to view the wonders of tha first community light ed by electricity. Declaring that the use of electricity for lighting is yet only in the first stages of development, the speakers pointed out that general use of the Edison invention did not come until the last 10 or 15 years, and that up to tl-at time kerosene and gasoline lamps and candles were widely used. But now even small communities have electric lighting plants and farm homes are lighted in a similar way, while the application of electric pow er to practical use baa been widely extended. GRAPES TO RELEASE CARS Hood to Get More Carriers When Wine Frnlt Movement Ends. HOOD RIVER. Or.. Nov. 8. (Spe cial.) Telegrams received here yes terday by C. W. McCullagh. sales manager of the Apple Growers' as sociation, from Senator Charles He Nary and Representative N. J. Sin nott indicate that the Oregon delega tion is doing all possible to relieve the car shortage. Representative Sin nott offered hope by the statement that the movement of wine grapes. which had demanded a heavy allot ment of refrigerator cars, formerly available for apple shippers, would soon be over. Hood River apple shippers express the belief that the transfer of re frigerator cars to the California wine grape districts has largely been re sponsible for the shortage. The coal strike is affecting the ex port of apples. With the United States denying coal to snips not fly ing the home flag, trans-Atlantic ships of other countries sail from Halifax. They will load from there with Nova Scotian fruit. Mr. Mc Cullagh says that the coal strike situation will not affect Hood River.
