LIFE-SAVING CLASS FOR SUMMER TERM Red Cross To Send Instructor In Water First-Aid A telegram from the Red Cross to Earl Kilpatrick, director of the extension division, came over the wire today, an nonncing that the Northwestern Division of the Red Cross had definitely decided to assign an instructor in water first aid to the campus summer term. The man to be in charge is not known here, but it is expected that the appointment will be made at an early date. This step taken by the Red Cross is the first thing of the kind to be arranged in con nection with a college summer term in the United States, so far as is known, said Mr. Kilpatrick today. It. means that everybody attending the summer term will be given an opportu nity to learn to swim and to swim for two at the same time. That is he will not only be instructed in the art of keeping himself afloat in the water, but will be given competent instruction in the saving of a less fortunate person who is drowning or is in need of help. The method of Red Cross resuscitation will be taught also. New System Used. The system of water first aid used will include none of the violence of the old method; the water victim will not be beaten over the head until senseless before his rescues makes an attempt to save him. Neither will the hero of the moment endanger himself in saving a drowning person by using the Red Cross method, as has been demonstrated by the practical application of the system dur ing the past few years. Because there is swimming to a more or less degree in every district, in Ore gon, and because there are a large num ber of Oregonians drowned each year, this course in water first-aid will he emphasized this summer in order that every summer student may go homo a ,qualified lifesavor. At the close of the course to be offered at the University this summer a girl weighing 100 pounds should he able to rescue a mnn weigh ing 2W) pounds without violence to her subject, according to Mr. Kilpatrick. That is admittedly a feat to he admired and one worth taking the opportunity to learn. Experiment to be Watched. The Red Cross is watching the ex periment on the Oregon campus with the closest interest and if it proves prac tical they will Install courses in sum mer schools throughout, the United States next summer. Joseph Hedges, n second year law stu dent, spent some time last summer on an extension tour through southern Washington and through Oregon dem onstrating the Red Cross life saving method, and as a result of this trip re ports hove eome in of lives actually saved by the timely application of the knowledge the rescuer had gained from Me. Hedge’s lessons. "It is doubtful if the water-aid course will he given ns a regular credit course during the summer term,” said Mr. Kil patrick. "but instead we will offer it as a recreation feature to be given in the afternoons.” He also said that the les sons would he given partly in the race and partly in the two tanks.

DUNN Reviving Interest In Roman Language Noted; Scientists and Literary Men Head Demand. “Latin is a living force in daily life and all other studies are in overwhelm ing debt to it,” says Professor F. S. Dunn, head of the department of Latin in the University of Oregon, in a bulle tin which he has written for the Latin teachers in the high schools and colleges of Oregon. Professor Dunn lias written the pamphlet in order to stimulate interest in ;the study of Latin, which has received more or less a severe shock in the past from educators in practical and tech nical lines. The downward trend of interest in Latin, he said, has stopped and the de mand for it is increasing, although the west has not felt, it as much as the east. The new demand has come about through the cry of scientists, journal ists, literary men and others who have felt the lack of Latin in the school cur riculum of the past years. “The teacher,” he says, “must read English from out the Latin and Latin from out the English; must see geom etry, biology and physics in Caesar; must conjure legal phrases and doctor’s prescriptions from Cicero’s orations; must flash the Idyls of the King of Paradise Lost and The Faery Queen across the pages of Vergil; must brand every paragraph with the Romance Languages and Latin America and the Philippines; must see Rome in the clock dial; in the ten-eent piece; in a decimal fraction; in the almanac; in the days of the week; in the Sunday liturgy: in Oregon’s seal; in the Omnibus bill; in the ultimatum to Turkey; in an aeronaut or a submarine; in Montana or Arizona; in Cincinnati or in Olympia; in Lucy or in Otis; in patrimony or matrimony or alimony; it matters uot which, for it is all Latin anyway and everywhere you go.” THETA WEDS HILLSBORO MAN. Miss Theo Louise King, former student of this University, was married last Saturday evening at her home in Hills boro to Raymond Harris Smmott. Miss King is a member of Kappa Alpha Theta. Mr. Eminott lias for years been a resi dent of Hillsboro, where the couple will make their home. Patronize Emorald Advertisers. GIRLS’ GLEE ATTRACTS One Student Already Here As Result of Club’s Trip. Direct results of the Girl’s Glee Club trip are already being felt on the cam pus, according to Professor Leland A. Coon, director. Interest was aroused in communities where Oregon as a possible school for the rising generation was never considered. One result is already here, namely Miss Zilphe I. Funck, of Enterprise, who determined at the time of the club’s appearance in that town that she would attend the same school which produced those voices. She is now registered and well started in her work at Oregon. Members of the club are busy corre sponding with -prospective students in order to keep the interest up, and an nounce that the freshman class next year will undoubtedly hear witness of their labors. ♦ THESE MEN REPORT AT 9 ♦ ♦ SATURDAY ON KINCAID ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Haney, Edd; Harlan.
