Lretary-Treasurer— |Earl Kilpatrick, ’09, 1253 Ferry St., “ Eugene. o R(JOM AT "THE «TOP ‘‘Equal pay for equal service.” This been the pleea made for many in behalf of women in industry Ld the professions. Yet little has L accomplished. To .attempt to re L economic law is usually to fail. [No one doubts that the quality of Jervice rendered by the women of the lass of 1914 in Oregon high schools • fully equal to that rendered by the hen. Yet no one expects the girls . {,e as well paid as the men. It is significant, however, and glo bus testimony to the advantage of [borough college training, that the lest paying position held by any mem jer of the class is held by a woman. Competition does not worry her to he same degree that it does some her classmates. Just as their .aining has raised them far above [the wage level of their sisters who |id not come to college, so her special udy and preparation have fitted her l0r work which few can do accept |bly. Although a salary of $133.00 per nonth is not usual for a woman new graduated from the University of jjregon, many University women a Few years after graduation are earn ing much more. College training pays; and the noney reward is, after all, the least (of the advantages it brings. 6ETS BEST JOB Forty-Seven of Class of ’14 Teach; Miss Neufeld Gets Largest Check A woman holds the most lucrative of the forty-seven teaching positions low filled by the members of the class 1914 of the University of Oregon. [Miss Anna Neufeld, who is teaching [German in a Portland high school receives $1,200 per year, which is [$133.33 per month for the actual [teaching time of nine months. In spit of prevailing competition, [no woman of the class of 1914 has (had to take less than $70.00 per month as an initial salary in an Oregon high (school this fall. Most of those who receive this minimum are in line for (speedy promotion, if they make good. Most of the women who are just [beginning their teaching after grad uation last June are receiving at least $85.00.

This time he will have the service record for both houses, as Milt. A. Miller, formerly senator from Linn County and dean of the Senate, is now col lector of the Port of Portland'and has retired from Linn County politics.

YALE HAS FINE SYSTEM Most Perfect Organization of Alumni Described by Special Corres pondent Yale University—(Special to Alum ni Section)—Organization of gradu ates of Yale is by classes, by localities and for specific objects. The organization by classes is more complete than at any other great uni versity. A Yale class does not end its class life at graduation; it simply enters upon a new phase of that life. Interest in classmates and loyalty to the class express themselves through biographical records and pamphlets, beginning with the Senior class book, and culminating in the records pub lished fifty years after graduation. The annual dinners of the several classes in New York and other large cities, and the regular reunions in New Haven at Commencement pre sent another striking manifestation of £lass interest. An important evi dence of University loyalty expressed through class organization is that of the Yale Alumni University fund, con tributed by individual graduates through their class agents. These contributions plus accumulated inter est, bring the total receipts of the fund to over a million dollars, made up for the most part of comparatively small contributions from many thou sands of individual graduates. The number who contributed last year was 3,273. The Class Secretaiy publishes bio graphical records, keeps track of the occupations and residences of his classmates, assists the agent of the Alumni Fund and works with the re union committees. Individual associations in three ot the great divisions of the country have banded together to form the federa tions of the West, of New England, and of the South. The Secretaries of the several class es have joined in what is called the Yale Association of Class Secretaries. This association, a few years ago, es tablished the Class Secretaries’ Bu reau, a clerical agency which is now a part of eth University Secretary’s office. Seventy local Yale Associations ex ist in the principal centers of this and several foreign countries. These as sociations provide for social fellow ship and as centers of information concerning Yale, in providing scholar ships for boys from their respective localities, and in many other ways. J. Lewis Johnson, ’12, is now prin cipal of the Richland High School. This school is a union high school in Baker County, near the Idaho line. Mr. Johnson received notice last week that he had been elected to this prin cipalship. He left immediately for Baker County. CHAMBERS Hardware Co.
