Alien Problem to be Studied
The course In Americanization IS
part of the nation-wide movement to
assimilate the alien element in the
United States, the need for which
tfras brought out during the war, when
It was found that hundreds of thous
ands of foreigners who had taken out
only their first naturalization papers,
trere holding responsible position*,
and that there were 4,000,000 aliens
in the United States who had ndt
even taken out their first papers.
There are 30,000 adult aliens in the
State of Oregon who have not declar
ed their intention of becoming citi
zens.
The problem here is much smaller
than in the eastern, middle western
and even the other Pacific coast
states, but it is constantly increasing.
The standard of knowledge of our
constitution, language and customs
demanded of an applicant for citizen
ship is constantly being raised, and
it is necessary to provide means for
these people to inform themselves
on these subjects. In Oregon only
four cities have any special facilities.
Portland Has Night bcnooi
In Portland the public school sys
tem maintains night schools with a
specially arranged schedule, Astoria
and Bend have both night schools,
and recently a night class has been
established in Eugene under the di
rection of the public school system
co-operating with the Extension div
ision of the University.
The specific purpose of this course
in Americanization is to show what
problems are connected with the as
similation of the foreign element in
the United States and especially in
Oregon, the agencies now existing
for dealing with them, and the pre
paration of competent people to lead
in the movement for improving con
dditions now existing.
Dr. Barnes will give lectures along
the general line of socialized' welfare,
the necessity for it, the opportunities
in /it, agencies dealing with it and
their administration and organiza
tion.
Educators to Confer
The educational conference at
which the leading educators of the
state will be present and discuss
topics in relation to educational work
will be held on Thursday, June 24,
and Friday, June 25.
Dr. H. D. Sheldon, dean of the
school of education, has been ap
pointed to take charge of the summer
school of 1920. Dr. Joseph Schafer,
who has for several years been dean
of the summer school, is chairman
of a committee of the American His
torical association which is revising
the course of study for history in the
elementary and secondary schools.
This work must be completed by June
20 and Dr. Schafer has found it ne
cessary to devote all his free time
to this work.

member of the first ordnance class to

gene Sunday from his home at Port
land, and will register in the Uni
! versity.
Kiggins had 15 months of experi

OIECOIILK OUT IS
LOW GRADES PLACE 90 OTHERS
ON PROBATION LIST
University of California Drop* 6.3%
Of Undergraduates Compared to
Oregoh's One Per Cent
Fifteen students, constituting about
6he per cent of the Student body of
the Uhiversity of Oregon, were drop
ptd last term because of low grades,
according to information received
from the office of the registrar. Of
this number, seven students, who are
on probation, were dropped, while 90
Were placed on probation.
This low percentage of Students
dunked at Oregon is credited to the
personal attention which is given un
dergraduates by the faculty, a condi
tion which is impossible in larger in
stitutions, and also to the system of
probation. Oregon students are re
quired to satisfactorily complete nine
hours of work during the term, with
the opportunity to make a total of 18
units in the following term before be
ing dropped from the UniversityJ
These figures are very low compared
to similar information from the Uni
versity of California. Overstepping
the “dead line” there seems to be a
recognized sport, for during last term
464 students, constituting 6.3 per cent
of the undergraduate body, were
flunked. The “dead line” at Califor
nia is “failure to make creditable
grades in at least eight units of work”
and beginning with the present term
it will be changed to rea!d “undergrad
uates will be required each semester
to pass in at least ten units of duly
registered work, or pass with excellent
or thoroughly satisfactory grades
(known as grade 1 and 2) in courses
aggregating at least eight units of
work”.
California’s flunking rate has been
between five and eight per cent for
several years, so the figures for the
raft term are normal
LIBRARY HAS TOTAL
OF 92,142 BOOKS NOW
100,000 Volumes Aim for 1920—7,376
Were Added During Year
of 1919
A total of 92,142 books are now in
the University library, according to
Mr. Douglas, Universitiy librarian, of
which 7,376 were added in the year
of 1919.
“It will be the purpose of the Uni
versity,” said Mr. Douglas, “to make
the library contain 100,000 volumes by
the end of 1920.”
The library has turned in all the
copy for the Check List of Books and
Pamphlets Relating to History of the
Pacific Northwest, a book edited by
Charles W. Smith, assistant librarian
of the University of Washington.
The University of Oregon has always
been well represented in the check
list and was able to add 429 cards to
the new list about to be published.
In the book published in 1909 the
University of Oregon had 192 names
of books about the Northwest, while
the new book will contain 621 names
to our credit.
