A HIGHER STANDARD FOR OREGON
Dean Dyment, in a comprehensive outline of tlie faults
which he lias observed existing at the University during the
past seven years, delivered before the faculty colloquium this
week, notes that the University, in an attempt to obtain a
large number of students enrolled, bus accredited giaduates
of 233 high schools in the state of Oregon, or more than any
other state institution with which he is familiar. This fault,
he sevs, lies partly with the state board of education, and
partly with the University itself.
While the rate of increase of students in the University
has been normal, Dean Dyment believes that various faults
whicli he has outlined lias in a measure tended to keep the
scholastic standard of the University down. Lack of contin
uity between courses in high schools of the state and those of
the University, faults in the present elective system now used
here, the prevalence of non-scholastic activities on the Oregon
campus, the attitude of students towards attendance at classes
and outside preparation, the tendency of the University to
eauitalize spirit instead of the degree, and perhaps^a failure on
the part of the faculty to make lectures of a sufficient high
character—all these were named as things which the Univer
sity might do well to overcome.
The easiest way to get a large number of students in the
(Xnivei sit', according to Dean Dyment,-is to raise the stand
ard of admittance. This will mean, we take it, that the num
ber of accredited high schools throughout the state will be
lowered considerably, and will, we believe, tend to raise the
entire educational standard of the state.
As to the University itself, the Dean recommends that the
elective system among subjects be changed to a system of el
ectives among courses of study. Stern courses of study with
free election among them as wholes, but not in part, will alle
viate some of the present faults of the University.
That “every professional school, and certain of the de
partments prescribe their curricula, basing them on certain
high school pre-requisites and that the University educate the
high school staffs of the state as to these pre-requisites with a
view* to their guiding students as far back as the second year,”
, is the sum of the recommendations made to the faculty.
Jt seems as though the University would do well to follow
tile recommendations of Dean Dyment. Already steps have
been taken by the schools and departments to raise their own
standards, and it is certain that with a man at the helm with
such a knowledge of the faults and problems of the University
as Dean Dyment, there is no question but that the rank of the
University of Oregon will come up if the high aims of the
Dean are carried out.
Last night’s rally, spontaneous and sincere as it was, is
positive proof that the good old Oregon Spirit is thriving on
the campus this year as never before. It took a good demon
stration like that ol last night to wake everyone up to the fact
that Oregon is tuned up to what is happening, and that the
good old spirit will do all in its power to come out on top
every chance it gets.

EDUCATIONAL STUDY
Selection of Teachers Important, Says
Writer in November School
Board journal.
John C. Almack, assistant director of
the extension division, is the author of
the leading article in the November is
sue of the American School Board Jour
nal, which, has just been received at the
library.
Mr, Altnaek’s article is entitled "The
Selection of Teachers,” and is a study
of teachers’ application blanks from
small towns, large cities, and various
bureaus and agencies of employment.
He contends that the ultimate success
of a school depends on the class room
teacher, so the most important duty of
every superintendent is the selection of
teachers.

he depended on for some long averages.
Washington is reputed to have a strong
line and the Oregon coach staff is not
underestimating this, hut drive has been
developed in thp Oregon baekfield for
the past t wo weeks and the Washington
line will have a real test if they stop the
plunges of Steers and King. Stanford
has no such driving attack as Oregon,
and O. A. has long been rated as
weak in this department of the game.
beeau.se they could make no yardage
through the Washington forward defense
does not mean that Oregon cannot. Ac
cording to tile line-ups which Coach Al
lison has I.. using the past two weeks,
the Washington line will have a slight
edge on the Oregonians in weight.
Line to Change Little.
From the line-lip being used by Hunt
ington on his first string the past few I
• lays, it appears that, there will be lit
tle change in the line positions. “Brick”
Leslie will no doubt start at center al
though “Bart” Iaiughlin may get a
chance at the position before the end
of the game. At guards. Muntz is ex
pected to start and either Floyd Shields
or St radian will work in the other posi
tion.
"Spike" Leslie will hold down his old;
position at left laekle. It. will he re
membered that ‘Spike’ received a broken
ankle in the Washington game last year
and hi' is going to make a few Northern
ers suffer Saturday. “Si" Starr has also
been working in the left tackle position
and may get a chance at the Sundodgers.

against the visitors with the chaiwes I

in th(> right tackle position during the

Four Ends Available.
Howard. Brown. Morfitt and Mc
Kinney are slated to handle the end posi
tions. "Mart” Howard in the left end
position and "Bud” Brown on the right
