ALU MM SECTION No. 21. MPW ’ VoL II ASKS SUPPORT I FOR SCHOLARSHIP FUND — Isolene Gilbert, ’10, Head of State Alumnae Association, Appeals to Graduates. The state association of Oregon alumnae was called by Prof. Carson June 25, 1907, its aim being to form an or ganization to ally more closely the wom en of the University in work for their .Alma Mater. From this desire for ser vice developed the establishment and maintainance of the Mary Putman Spiller scholarship, a scholarship to be awarded to a girl graduate of an accredit ed high school of Oregon, and in amount to equal the cost of room and board for one year at the Mary Spiller house. Besides this definite and specific object, the association has as its ultimate aim membership in the national collegiate association. Until sufficient balance was secured in the association’s treasury to warrant the granting of a scholarship, the amount on hand was used as a loan fund handled through the business office of the University, and on November 21, 1910, the association was able to make a loan of $85.00. In 1912 the state association received a gift of $25.00 from the Port land alumnae association and a pledge for the same amount annually. With this gift, the amount in the treasury, pledges and gifts secured by a special soliciting committee the state association ielt justified in offering its first scholar ship. This was awarded in 1912 to Miss Ethelwyne Boydelle, of Nyssa, Oregon, who held it also for the following year. The third scholarship was granted to Miss Bernice Thaur of Alsea, and the fourth to Miss Helen Withycombe, of Yamhill, who will also hold it for the en suing year. It has been one of the aims of the committee on awarding to choose candidates from widely separated sec tions of the state and from localities where University influence is not strong. Although the state association is but nine years old it has granted five scholarships. The permanence of this gift depends upon the loyal support of the five hundred Uni versity of Oregon alumnae. If you are one of those 500. it is your privilege as a University graduate, and your duty as an alumnae to give to the state association your hearty support, and to the Mary Spilled scholarship fund your annual dol ] WEDDING BELLS * —-—-★ The first wedding bells to peal among the University women this semester were those celebrating the marriage of Eunice Foster, ex-’15, and L. Verne Graves of Portland, on the night of May third. It is rumored that a certain fraternity house assisted the ringing of those bells by modestly displaying their vocal ability to the tune of a tin pan and by sharing the wedding feast unbeknown to the bride and groom. Mildred Lawrence, ex-’13, a mem ber of the Delta Gamma fraternity, and Maurice Bigbee, ’15, of Eugene, are to be married this month. The marriage of Clara Betty Hissler, 1913, a Delta Gamma, to William Keller, a doctor in Portland, will be an event of this month.

Gretchen Sherwood, ’15, a Delta Delta Delta from Coquille, Oregon, and Ralph Cake, ’13, a Phi Gamma Delta, who is now studying law at Harvard, are to be married this summer in Portland.

ALUMNA FINDS HOMES FOR WAIFS OF CITY H Mae A. Norton Engaged in the Service of the Juvenile r Court in Portland. O * . o' Dear Alumnae—It’s a hard matter for me to write or talk concisely of my work for there are so many phases of it that 1 am interested in. However. I shall en deavor to give ,you the “big idea,” as nearly as possible. I am at present, in the child placing or home finding department of the juve nile court, a new department initiated by Judge T. J. Clef ton. Most people think that all children in the juvenile court are bad or delinquent children, but this is decidedly an error, for the number of dependent children handled by the court far exceeds the number of delinquent children. My work is to find homes for these dependent children. Heretofore, they were incarcerated for an indefinite length of time out at the Frazer detention home, housed together with the delinquent children. Judge Cleeton’s policy is to supply these little waifs with home life instead of institu tional life, so riiy work is to find the right kind of hqmes and then supervise them carefully after they are placed there. To get in touch with these homes, sometimes we put an appeal in the paper, from which we get many responses. These have to bje carefully investigated. We now have 72 children out so you can see where our time goes; visiting these children, keeping up with them by letters and settling their troubles for them. I have made many interesting and en couraging visits to see the little ones al ready, placed, and in every case have found them more than happy in their new homes. These vjisits have been to farm houses in Oregon and Washington and it is a revelation to find how many kind hearts there are in the work. People who already have children of their own and who are not, overly blessed with this world’s goods, open their homes to these little waifs and [agree to treat them as their own children, clothe and educate them. The only drawback to this work is the political side of lit. The juvenile court should not be in politics. Just as a judge and his corps of workers get a swing on their work and get used to working to gether, along cogues election and if the judge is not re-elected, we are all Jet out to make way for the appointees of the new administration, thus making it al most impossible to carry out any one policy in this work. ' I wish I could tell you about all my kiddies, but just as a sample of the newsy billet dour I receive, I am going to copy one I received today:' ‘‘Dear Friend—I will write (you a few lines to tell you how I am. I^rst one is I am well and going to school st eadily and like it out here. I like the ; little dog named Tootsy. And have a good teacher her name is Miss Allen. And .1 went to the shows 5 times. Mrs. Smith’s boys that was sick went back to work again. They are very nice boys. And I go with a girl near by to Sunday school. And I got 15 egs today and there was 11 egs in one nest. And we got 4 bantams and a black horse and a little pony named Dan and severl big horses and one of the horse is sick. And a big doll iuid some times I take the little dog up 'in my lap and put doll dress on him. And got one of the boys to put up a swing for me to swing in. And went to a funerl of a little baby that got drowned1. And I think thats all only I hope if I ever have to go from here God will hold mo so they can’t take me. I will douse now so good by. Write soon. “PEARL.” With very best wishes to all U. of O. alumnae, I am. Very sincerely yours, 1 MAE A.
