P. A. Buholzer Describes Fate
of Tiny Nation
SERBIA GETS KINGDOM
Allied Council Concurs With
Ironical Mo.ve
Montenegro, the Tittle mountain king
dom which has maintained its indepen
dence from 1389 until recently, when it
was assimilated hy Serbia, typifies the
greatest irony of the world war, ac
cording to F. A. Buholzer, a native of
Switzerland and an assistant instructor
in history at the University. Monte
negro was one of the first countries to
declare war on Austria, he points out,
and now. with the concurrence of the al
lied council, it has been absorbed by a
country it helped to protect.
Mr. Buholzer receives Geneva papers
frequently through the Swiss legation in
Washington, and in this way keeps in con
stant touch with the kaledioscopie Euro
pean affairs.
“Sebria intrigue has robbed .Monte
negro of her independence.” declared the
Swiss scholar. “Supposedly. Montenegro
was absorbed by Serbia following a ple
biscite which expressed the will of the
Montenegroeans, but Montenegro lost j
her ancient independence because of in
timidation and a preponderance of Ser
bian voters within her boundaries. Tt is
folly to suppose that the people of
Montenegro voted to throw away their
independence for which they have fought
since the fourteenth century. Tt is the
greatest irony of the world war which
was fought for the right of the smaller
nations.”
According to translations from the
Geneva Tribune, a paper with a heritage
of 91 years, devoted nearly entirely to
politics, members of the Longue of Na
tions are anxiously awaiting the expres
sion of the sentiment towards the league
of the coming TTarding regime in the
United States. The Geneva Journal re
ports the daily progress of the league,
and devotes articles under separate
heads to each country represented.
One of the papers states that "a very
important biography of Bismarck has
recently been published in Germany.
This biography, which was suppressed
by the German emperor, throws new light
upon the political intrigue of Bismarck,
and has special reference to the rela
tions between the “iron chancellor” and
the emperor. Another article translated
by Mr. Buholzer states that the return of
the Hapslmrg dynasty to the Hungarian
throne is not improbable, according to
the opinion of two princes, leaders of
Hungarian legislation. The princes give
two reasons for this expected return, the
failure of the allied campaign against the
bolsheviks under General Wrangel. and
the return of King Constantine to the
Grecian throne. I

LIBRARY HAS NTEW LIGHTS.
New lighting fixtures were installed
in the library last Saturday. They are
lower than the old ones and contain

prove much more satisfactory than the
old system about which there were so
many complaints by both faculty and
students.

Commonwealth Review Tells
of State Problems
“Teacher Training in Oregon High
Schools” is the subject of an article
written by John <Almaek, acting di
rector of the extension division, and
published in the third volume of the ;
Commonwealth Review of the University
of Oregon. This quarterly, which is
edited by Professor F. G. Young, dean
of the sociology department, devotes its
whole current number to the article.
The necessity of training rural teach
ers and the necessity of training all
teachers to be efficient, is pointed out by
Mr. Almaek. Following is a paragraph
taken from the article: “In Oregon as
in the majority of the other states the
rural school problem overshadows all
others in education. It is closely related
to agriculture, the greatest industry in
the state. The rural population exceeds
the urban, being 54.4 per cent of the
total. The school population is 01 per
cent rural. There are over two thousand
one-room schools, a number that is con
stantly being increased as new lands are
opened up. Half as many more town,
village and open country schools of two
or more teachers are essentially rural.”
Mr. Almaek cites the above as evi
dence that there is a rural teacher prob
lem in Oregon, together with the follow
ing statement:
Twenty-two and five-tenths per cent
of Oregon’s rural teachers have had no
professional training.” * * * “One hun
dred thirty rural schools in Oregon were
unable to obtain teachers in 1919, and
over 1!5()() children were deprived of
school opportunities.”
In comparing Eastern and Western
Oregon, Mr. Almaek makes the follow
ing statement: “In Eastern Oregon five
per cent of the high school enrollment in
schools offering teacher training takes
the course: three per cent only in West
ern Oregon. The difference here must
be due to the fact that educational in
stitutions accessible tend to draw stu
dents into other pursuits, who in a sec
tion where higher educational institu
tions are remote would leach. Second,
and more important, is the fact that
teacher salaries are higher in Eastern
Oregon ,and general teaching conditions
as a rule more satisfactory.”
Regarding the history of teacher
training in Oregon. Mr. Almaek states
that Oregon had academies and col
leges in 1882. “Many of these, being
denominational, were very dear to the
hearts of their constituents. Some of
them as Christian Colleges had been con
ceived by their founders before leaving
the eastern states for their new homes
in the west.” In 1919. only Monmouth,
Ashland, and AVeston remained, and now
only Monmouth remains. After the de
struction of the normal schools, a bill
was passed in 1911, providing for teach
er training in the high schools. Of 98
schools who have attempted this course,
5;> have given it up, and in these high
[ schools the course is considered a
“girl’s course.” With these and other
statistics Air. Almaek points out the
great need of a revision in Oregon’s
teacher training methods.

Boys in Reply.
“In ye good old days” seems to be the
dogan adopted by the young people of a
•ertain church in Mattoon, Illinois.
Twenty-five girls, at the instigation of
heir Sunday school superintendent,
signed a pledge not to keep company with
joys who used the “weed.” This anti
•igarette club is still growing, and not
vithout results, according to the superi
ntendent. Tor several boys have quit the
rabit.
But the boys of the Mattoon high
<ehool fired a broadside into this club
ry signing the following pledge:
“I do solemnly affirm that I will not
murt a girl who persists in:
“Wearing knee length skirts.
“Wearing low cut waists below the
mint where mother wore them when she
vas a girl.
“Wearing silk stockiugs.
“Using paint or rouge.
“Attending dances minus her corset.
“Pulling out her eyebrows or wearing
ter hair in such style as to hide hol
lars.”
Both sides are firmly holding their
stand, and “much good is being accom
plished,” according to the Sunday school
superintendent.
