LUGES TIGHT WITH OF PICTURES French, Spanish Pronunciation Shown by 9 Photographs Teaching pronunciation by means of pictures is the new method used in the correspondence courses in French and Spanish which have recently been added to the extension division curriculum. A set of nine photographs showing the forms taken by the lips and teeth in ex pressing different, sounds, are loaned to all students who enroll in either of these courses. These photographs were posed for by a girl who was formerly a student in one of the Portland classes. These courses are prepared by Pro fessor F. M. Warrington. Mr. Warring ton learned French when a child, and has traveled considerably in French speaking countries. He resided for some years in Mexico, and attended the University of Mexico, where he bacame thoroughly conversant with the Spanish language. The theory upon which he bases his courses is that the student should be prepared to use the language for trade purposes rather Ilian from a literary standpoint. The courses are illustrated by means of charts and pictures, following a meth od which is very effective. Mr. War rington is applying to these courses bis knowledge of the best principles of cor respondence study. He uses a great many little devices to make the courses interesting and concrete. Many extension divisions, especially in the larger universities, are offering cor respondence courses in foreign lan guages. but probably none of them have courses that have been so carefully worked out. These courses are being offered to students at exactly the same price that is charged for other corre spondence courses, one dollar per credit hour. HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE TEAMS TO MEET HERE District Contests Over Championship To Be Determined Junior Week-End. State high school district debates to determine district winner ended March 12, and reports from six of the twelve districts have come in to Professor Al taack’s office. Air. Almuck reports the known win ners, who will meet on the campus Jun ior week-end to determine the state championship, as: Salem in the north Willamette district; Eugene won from Kiddie Friday thus placing first in the south Willamette district; Knappa in the lower Columbia district; Heppner in the Umatilla district: Burns in the southeast. Klamath Falls high school is to represent the south central dis trict here during Junior week-end. With the preliminary debates finished the extension division is now preparing a questionnaire to be sent each of the winning teams for the purpose of find ing out what methods they prefer to use in the finals. The winning team is to be presented witli a cup, which has twice been won by Salem, Corvallis was the winner last year. It is the desire of every team to prove superior to the north Willam ette team this year in order to prevent them from winning the Almuck cup for a third time. If Salem wins the cup again this year it will become a permanent possession of that high school. POSTERS WILL BE USED Art Class Doing Practical Work: Prize of $5.00 Offered.
