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.

VALENTINE CARDS Get Yours Early Now on Sale Schwarzchlld’s Rook Store 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. LOST: English History Rook. Au thor. Larson. Finder return to Emerald office.
