Requirements to Become Nor
mal in Near Future, Opni
ion of Dr. Sheldon.
The teacher shortage which resulted
this fall, from the fact that so many
teachers are engaged in different branch
es of war service, wi!? be relieved now
that the war is over is the opinion of
l)r. II. D. Sheldon, dean of the school
of education. Many of the teachers will
now return to former vocation.
Owing to the great shortage this fall
the Oregon State Department of Public
Instruction was forced to lower the re
quirements for teachers and to send out
f.ppeals throughout the state to former
teachers for help during the shortage.
In this way Dr. Sheldon said, most of
the positions have been filled. Only an
occasional exception of a school in some
remote district or where the salary is
lower than is usually paid.
High school position:, which were va
cant at the beginning of the school year,
have eventually been filled. However,
Dr. Sheldon said, in some high schools it
was necessary to discontinue, for this
year, teaching of sciences and commerce,
as it was impossible to get the teachers
as these subjects are usually taught by
then.
Dr. Sheldon is of the opinion that by
next fall the Department of Public In
struction will again raise the standards
for teachers, thereby barring ou't many
who are teaching this year. The lower
ing of the requirements has not resulted
entirely in securing poorer teachers this
year, Dr. Sheldon said, but in many in
stances better teachers have been ob
tained as many who had retired have re
turned to ’their old field.
Mill Race and Villard Hall Will
Be Subjects of Students’
Work.
r~r~i
The class in design under Miss Helen
Rhodes will spend the time between
Thanksgiving and Christmas in making
Christmas cards. These will be sold and
the funds raised given to the American
Committee for Devastated France.
These cards will be designed by the
class almost entirely although some de
ligns from outsiders may be used, an
nounced Miss Rhodes.
The design is first made and then cut
out of linoleum which is used in place of
the copper plate usually used in printing.
They are printed on a ringer press which
will be done by the class itself, nsing of
design in this way is interesting owing to
the fact that it can be worked into com
mercial channels. “There will be sym
bolic designs of the mill race and Villard
hall, especially appropriate for the alum
ni and former students of the Univer
sity. Your'personal friends would enjoy
them, too,” said Miss Rhodes.
“The American committee for Devas
tated France hns been doing some won
derful work in the ruined villages of
France for some time,” said Miss
Rhodes. Miss Anne Morgan of New York
Is head of the committee. Many wealthy
women of New York have been very ac
tive in pushing the work of the commit
tee forward and have given very gener
ously of their time and money. The work
being done is mainly that of reconstruc
tion. So the design class feels that they
will be a worthy object forever.
The sale ' ill be held shortly before
Christmas. “It is hoped that the college
people won’t buy cards until they have
seen ours,” said Miss Rhodes.
INSTITUTE TO BE HELD.
Plan for a two-dav community insti
tute to be held at Estacada, Oregon, dur
ing December, are being worked out by
the University extension division. In
Btructors from the school of education
are to be the speakers. Members of the
school of music will probably also assist
with the entertainment.
Program Set for Thursday to
Be Put Off If Doors Do
Not Arrive.
The Y. M. C. A. hut may be held up a
few days, it was announced by William
F. Vance, University Y. M. C. A. sec
retary. yesterday. The carpenters are
having cousiderablf difficulty in getting
doors for the new hut.
It was originally planned to have the
first program in the hut on Thanksgiving
evening, but owing to the delay in get
ting the doors the event may have to be
postponed If however, • the carpenters
succeed in getting the doors the pro
gram will come off as scheduled on
Thursday evening.
Mr. Vance upon being nsked if there
would be any sort oft dedication of the
new building, said: "Yes, wo will dedi
cate it by having ouo whoopinggood time.
We may not have our furniture from
headquarters, but we will use what we
have.” Up to this time Mr. Vance has
had no information as to when the fur
niture will arrive. He informed head
quarters of the Western Division of the
Y. M. C. A. at San Francisco, that the
hut would be open ready for occupancy
on November 28, but has not received
any reply as yet.
At present the carpenters are ceiling
the downstairs. Little remains to be
done with the exception of putting in the
windows and laying the floor. A part of
the windows will probably go in tomor
row. Mr. Vance stated.
"Our only drawback now is the doors,
hut providing everything goes along
smoothly there is a possibility that we
may be in on Thanksgiving.” The heat
will be furnished by the University heat
ing plant.
PMSS COURSE
SILL BE HIED
Students to Be Trained Here to
Release Others for Duty
Overseas.
Inadequacy in the supply of trained
nurses in the United States is the basis
of an appeal from the sm geon-general of
the United States to the University de
partment of physical education for wo
men for the continuance of the three
months’ course in pre-nursing, given here
this term. “It is quite possible we will not
send students overseas, as, had the war
continued, we proposed doing,” stated
a letter received this week, but the pres
ent plan is to train supply nurses who
will release trained nurses to be sent
across. «
The students thus highly trained will
under the present plan be kept in Amer
ica to do work in military and civil hos
pitals. “Both war and recent epidemic
have forcefully presented 'the inade
quacy of our supply of trained nurses,”
says the letter, “and they have not less
clearly demonstrated the important part
skilled nursing now plays in the care and
cure of the sick and injured and in the
prevention of disease.”
The call for trained nurses in the re
construction field is very great, accord- |
ing to reports, and the response of j
American nurses will make it necessary
for highly educated women to respond j
to the needs in their own country. The
surgeon general, M. W. Woods, declares
himself confident that people so prepared
will find no difficulty in obtaining imme
diate assignment either in a military or
a civil school.
The plan of 'the University department
of physical education is to comply wUh
the request made upon it and continue
the pre-nursing work given here. An ef
fort will be made through communication
with the national secretary in charge of
recruiting work for ail universities to se
cure recruits from outside *he University
to take these elementary courses. Unless
a sufficient number of women apply for
the course, according to Miss Mabel
Cummings, head of the -^lepartmont of
physical education, no attempt will be
made to continue with the elementary
subjects.

Instructors of Various Depart
ments to Have Charge
ot Rooms.
In accordance with a request from the
war department, supervised study hours
are to he extended to the academic work
of the S. A. T. l'. men as well as to the
military courses. A list 'of all the free
hours of the men and the courses they
are taking are now in the president’s of
fice and the study hours will be started
at once.
1 p until this time the military instruct
ors have been responsible for the super
vised study. The men have been under
the discipline and roll call of a non-com
missioned officer who is responsible for
their attendance. The new plan is to
leave these duties to the military in
structors but arrange for study rooms
for the men in the various courses with
an instructor in that course or depart
ment to be present to help with any
questions the men may have. This will
be especially true in connection with the I
courses in trigonometry, topography,
business law. physics, war aims and sci- |
euce courses.
SONG FEST THURSDAY BIG
A regulation Y. M. C. A. song fest was
held Thursday evening in Villard hail
under the direction of Howard E. Pratt,
director of the Y. M. 0. A. music of the
western division. Mr. Pratt has been at
the University for the last few days in
stalling a little pei> into the boys during
drill.
The opening number of the song feat
was “America” and following one after
the other were the old and new songs
of the past and present wars. Miss Beu
lah Keagy and Miss Jessie McCord were
the soloists for the evening, with Miss
Patty French at the piano. Mr. Faguy
Gote sang the Marseillaise.
The words of the songs were flashed
on the screen thus enabling everyone to
sing. Mr. Pratt said that he had visited
many other institutions but the singing
at the University of Oregon was the
best.
The audience was unusually “pepful”
and sang one song after the other with
great zest. Several numbers were whist
led and hummed.
