A SPLENDID RECORD Two years out of colVege and at the head of the educational system of an empire. That is the record of Miss Fay Clark, ’12. For Malheur County, of which Miss Clark is county super intendent of schools, is truly an em pire in extent. Four hundred and fifty miles by stage and wagon to visit four adjoin ing school districts. This is the trip which Miss Clark takes annually as part of her routine work of superin tendence. Such a trip seems more possible when one recollects that the north line of Malheur County is about even with that of Lane County and that the great Eastern Oregon coun ty extends south to the state line. Forty pupils in one school and not one of them able to speak a word of English before coming to schoql. Such a school Miss Clark finds down on the Nevada border. There she visits a community of Spanish people, immi grants from the south slopes of the k Pyranees, herders of sheep in this land as yet unscarred by the steel of railroad tracks or of plowshares. That a young girl should have be come the first woman county school superintendent of the state legally to exercise th^ full powers of the office seems less remarkable when one knows Miss Clark. She was first in many things at college. She was a charter member of the Dramatic Club, and was leader of the first in tercollegiate woman’s debate team that ever represented the University of Oregon. An active member of the Eutaxian Society and of the Y. W. C. A., one of the organizers of the Lambda Rho, now Delta Gamma, an honor student, society editor of the Oregon Weekly, Miss Clark was as fully part of the social and educa tional life of the Student Body as if she had1 not been largely dependent upon her own resources for funds to carry her through her course. • Miss Clark is a living answer to the question: Does college training • Of course, college training does not explain all of her success. She had the right sort of foundation on which to build, the necessary determination and a right attitude toward her work. College training was the relatively minor, but quite necessary, ingredi ent which equipped her with the knowledge, the skill and the power to fill worthily each station in which she found herself in college and af ter college. Not very attractive to a college girl, that backwood school building out on the Slow and Easy Railroad, t in the forests of Southern Lane Coun ty. But Fay Clark did not seem to think it beneath her dignity to accept such a position, when congenial work did not offer. One year later, we see her teaching at Vale, the county seat of Malheur County, in Eastern Ore gon, then comes a magnificent op portunity to take a position wherein her work will count largely in deter mining the educational future of the state. Once again, no hesitation, a quiet acceptance of responsibility, and what is far better, a quiet efficiency in the performance of duty which is reflecting credit upon th% University in which she was trained. Doubtless there Qare girls in the De partment of Education of the Univer. sity who may study with interest and profit, the story of Superintendent Clark, of Malheur. W. C. Winslow, ’06, of Salem, has become part owner of a large wheat ranch in Eastern Oregon. Vere Windnagle, whose success as a distance runner at Cornell was not ed in last week's alumni page, is to be one of the men to run under the auspices of the Multnomah Club, of Portland, in the races at the San Francisco exposition. George Benshadler, of Canby, who married Alice Stoddard, ’ll, last sum mer, had a narrow escape from death last week, when a telegraph pole to which he was strapped fell. When it began to fall he succeeded in loosen ing himself enough to avoid being mashed by the pole, but dislocated both knee caps and received some in ternal injuries.
