MONMOUTH PHESIDENT SPEAKS IN ASSEMBLY Mr. Ackerman Delivers Scholarly Lecture On Subject of “Educa tional Unrest.” The address at the regular assem bly hour this morning was given by President Ackerman of the Mon mouth Normal School on the subject, “Educational Unrest.” President Ackerman said in brief: “Along with the unrest visible in commercial, religious, political, and industrial circles, a similar movement can also be seen in educational cir cles. In fact, the unrest noticeable in the educational world is simply the visible efforts made to adjust our selves to the new conditions which are the products of unrest in other directions. For example, the Manual Training and Domestic Science Courses are being installed in the schools in order to satisfy the modern demand for men and women educated along these lines. This educational unrest has been in the course of evolution for many years. In former years the personal ity of the teacher was considered of prime importance. As the question was discussed, however, the personal ity of the teacher came to cocupy a minor position, and scholarship be came the chief requisite. In the fur ther evolution of the question schol arship in turn was superseded by knowledge of the child. And so on, until in modern times, the educational question concern the object in view. People oppose education for educa tion’s sake, and so it becomes neces sary to put new subjects in the course of study. This unrest is simply a phase of growth and tends toward progress. It does not hinder educa tion, because the educated person re pays the public for all that has been expended upon him, whether he edu cates himself according to the modern aspect of education or not.” APPELLANTS IN UNIVERSITY CASE RAISE TWO POINTS The reply brief of the appellants in the University referendum case was filed on Monday. There are two main issues brought out by the attorneys for the appellants: (1) If there is a point of doubt the referendum must be favored, for it is not especially im portant that an unsatisfactory peti tion be withheld from the people, but it is vital that any valid petition be presented. (2) If the petition be legally sufficient on its face, the pres ent court can not go behind the peti tion and examine into precedent or extraneous matters. These two prin ciples constitute the substance of a complex and involved paper. It is not known at what time the decision of the Supreme Court will be answered, but it is probable that a decision will be handed down the first part of next week. PULLMAN AND WHITMAN IN ORATORICAL LEAGUE Through a mistake, Washington State College and Whitman College were admitted to the Inter-State Or atorical Association on the vote of the University of Washington and the University of Montana. They were admitted contrary to the letter of the constitution of the association, which requires the consent of all mem bers. The original vote of the University of Oregon was against admitting the two colleges, because of the financial obligations to the hosts and the pres ent convenient size of the association. But at a recent meeting of the com mittee on oratory and debate, it was decided that the University would waive its constitutional right to for bid the participation of the two col leges in the contest, if the other in stitutions would consent to admit 0.

ANNOUNCES SERIES OF LECTURES Prominent Speakers Engaged to De liver Talks Upon Important Questions. A new series of lectures on the sub ject of “Life Work,” has been pre pared by the Y. M. C. A., and the completed program of the series has been announced. It consists of six lectures as follows: March 21—“Choosing a Life Work,” Prof. P. L. Campbell. March 28—“Practicing Medicine as a Life Work.” Dr. James B. Taylor. April 4—“Engineering as a Profes sion,” Prof. C. W. Converse. April 11—“The Business Man of Today,” Dr. A. C. Schmidt. April 25—“Teaching as a Vocation,” Dr. George Rebec. May 2—-“Christian Service,” Mr. M. G. Smith. The object of this series of -ad dresses is to present the claims of the several callings in turn; and in this way to assist the men to accomplish the maximum amount of good with their lives. The men who have been chosen to speak are all experts in their several lines and will be able to speak with authority about them. The first of the addresses was given last Thursday by President Campbell. The second one, on “Practicing Medi cine as a Life Work,” will be delivered tomorrow evening at the regular Y. M. C. A. meeting. The speaker, Dr. James B. Taylor, is a physician, who has recently arrived in Eugene, but who has, nevertheless, already made a reputation for himself. SENIOR PLAY PROMISES TO BE HUGE SUCCESS The Senior Play, “She Stoops to Conquer,” will be staged on Friday night, April 12. This date was set tled upon by the Student Affairs Com mittee and it is expected that the student body will be well represented in the audience. The cut rate tickets for the Spring vacation will not be good until the 2:43 A. M. train Satur day, so that those who expect to go home can see the play first. The members of the cast have their lines well learned and are now being coached in “business.” The play will be a big scenic production, as the cos tuming alone will cost approximately $100. Special scenery is being con structed and painted, and no expense will be spared to make “She Stoops to Conquer,” the best play ever pre sented by a senior class. ANNUAL BANQUET AND Y. M. INSTALLATION FRIDAY The annual banquet and installation of the new officers of the Y. M. C. A. will be held on Friday, March 29. The feed will be in the City Y. M. C. A. building, from 6 to 7:45 P. M. A lively program has been planned, with President P. L. Campbell as toast master. Toasts will be given by Kin ney Miller, secretary of the City Asso ciation, J. Earle Jones, the retiring president, A. B. Cash, the president elect, and other representative stud ents. The preparations for the affair have now been completed, and a large crowd is anticipated. All members and friends of the Association among both students and faculty are invited. The seats are being sold at the nom inal price of 25 cents. This does not cover the cost of the plates, but the difference is being paid by the asso ciation, so as to enable any student to attend. Reservations for plates must be made at the Book Exchange by Thursday evening. Chemistry Club Program The program of the meeting of the Chemistry Club last Monday was on the subject of “Chemistry of Physio logical Processes.” Homer Wheelon discussed the effect of changes of tem perature on the beats of the heart. Hal Bean read a paper on the effects of sodium, calcium and potassium on the heart. Prof. Bovard gave a more extended discussion on the same sub ject, and dealt more with theoretical chemistry. * ********* * ALUMNI NOTES ********** Mrs. Hazel McNair Paine, ’ll, is at home in Eugene.
