COURSE IN TEACHING ENGLISH COMP. RODEO 50 Applications Quickly Follow Miss Ida Turney’s Trip to Teachers Institute. Thirty people have reipiested a cor respondence course in the teaching of English composition in elementary schools since Miss Ida \. Turney, in structor in rhetoric, attended the Jeffer son County Teachers’ institute in No vember. Miss Turney is now preparing the course, and will have it completed hy the first of the year. There are about 50 applicants for the work already. "In many respects this was the most inspiring institute I ever have attended,” said Miss Turney. "It was the first ever held in the new county, and although there are only 43 teachers in the entire county, at least 150 persons attended each meeting. Furthermore, two-thirds of the audiences were men- sheepmen and ranchers who had driven 18 or 30 miles. And they listened with breathless attention. "I noticed another thing about the Jef ferson county teachers,” continued Miss Turney. Meets Oregon students "A number of college graduates and trained teachers arc working in the din trict schools. Many of tin1 women teach ers are married—ranchers’ wives, who have entered the profession because of the loneliness of ranch life.” Miss Turney met several former Uni versity of Oregon students, among them Walter Eaton, ’00, who is county sur veyor, and E. A. Karnes, now teaching, but expecting to finish his college course in summer school next year. She was entertained at the home of a correspond ence student, Mrs. Ida B. Johnson, of Madras. Mrs. Johnson takes her degree next June. INCREASED ATHLETIC FACILITIES EXPECTED Gradual Extension of Equipment Plan Probably to Be Followed by Sports Committee Oregon will have a great athletic field in a few years if the board of regents acts favorably on tin1 faculty committee’s recommendations for the furtherance of intra-mural sports. The committee has discussed future plans from all angles and are united in their beliefs as to the need of new equipment. They suggested to the board of regents that a varsity baseball diamond be constructed at Fair mount. The “Doughnut league" would then have exclusive use of the present field. “It would take over .$I(H),(HK) to build a suitable athletic field for all branches of sport,” said I’rof. 11. (’. Howe, “If we hail the facilities we could take care of 1(M) men in each line of spurts. Wo realize that this change cannot. be brought about in a year or two years. However, by spending IflO.tMK) each year, the University would be able in time to provide for all the students." Professor Howe also said that the committee favored the erection of an ad ditional cement tennis court each season. Coach Hugo Itc/.dek approves of intro mural athletics, providing ample facili ties are provided to accommodate all of the students. "We need a new baseball diamond and an additional basketball floor," explained he. Coach Be/.dek strongly urges increased equipment and extra instructors to carry out intro mural sports. "When we get these things every fellow can turn out for some branch of athletics and we will still have varsity teams in the field.” EXTENSION DEPT.
