PRAISE GIVEN POTTER
SISTERS FOR RECITAL
Music Said To Be Splendid Exhibition
of Talent and Well Trained
Technique.
The joint recital, given by Aurora and
Alberta Potter at the Methodist church
was a splendid exhibition of talent com
l bined with well trained technique, judg
ing from the enthusiasm expressed by
authorities in the school of music.
'I he first number, a strictly classical
sonata by Handel for violin and piano
formed a solid opening for the some
what modern and ultra modern selec
tions which followed. Big tone, ex
quisitely rendered and sympathetic in
terpretation formed the main character
istics of the opening number.
Debussy, Prokofieff and Saint-Saens
were the composers represented in the
second group, which included four
piano solos. This group was particu
larly adapted to Miss Aurora Potter’s
talent, and were accordingly received
with great pleasure by the audience. The
curious “Prelude” by Debussy, with the
mass of harmonies and runs, ending in r
final trickle of music, and one single
note was possibly the best received, al
though Saint-Saens “Mandolinata” wTas
the only encore to which she responded
A unique example of the ultra modern
Russian school was the “Marche” of
Prokofieff, holding a bewildering shift
ing of keys, and wmird harmonies.
The “Ballade and Polonaise” by Vie
ustemps made a brilliant and pleasing
study for the violin. The first part
justified the name of Ballad fully with
its melody and music. The drift from
ballad to old Polish march'in the con
ventional two-four time marked a skill
ful change in interpretation and caused
the end to be the full, stirring “Polon
aise” that it wms named.
The fourth number, MaeDowell’s Con
certo in A minor, rounded out the pro
gram. Mrs. Timelier at the second
piano gave an added effect to the haunt
ing MacDowell music.
A well filled auditorium responded
with the enthusiasm and sympathy to
every number and proved the effort to
be worth while.
COMMERCE SCHOOL
BETS HEW PROFESSOR
Frank R. Rutter to Come to
L University Next Fall.
i _
Frank R. Rutter, formerly statistical
adviser of the U. S. department, of com
| meree and now professor of commerce
at Georgetown University has been
elected to the University of Oregon as
professor of foreign trade.
Mr. Rutter will begin his professional
work next fall. He is a graduate of
John Hopkins University with a Pli. D.
degree. For eleven years he was con
nected with the United States depart
ment of agriculture, where he studied
exclusively foreign questions, especially
sugar, because of its importance from a
protectionist point of view. For two
years he was a resident of London as a
special European agent of the depart
ment of agriculture, and visited the
continent, studying farming conditions in
Roumania and the Balkan states.
Tn 1010 Mr. Rutter was transferred
to the department of commerce as tariff
expert, in which capacity he visited the
South American countries studying the
actual administration of tariffs. The
position of assistant chief of the bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce was
held by Mr. Rutter for several years, at
the end of which time he resigned to
become commercial attache at Tokio. He
hi s written several valuable handbooks
and articles on economic conditions in
the far East.
Acadamic work has been done by Mr.
Rutter in universities all over the United
States. He has lectured in the Univer
sity of Iowa, John Hopkins University
and Georgetown University.
Mr. Rutter will lecture on foreign
trade and on trans-Paeific trade at the
coming summer sessions of the Univer
sity of California.
The addition of a professor of national
repute is part of the expansion of the
school of commerce being carried on by
Dean E. C. Robbins. The foreign trade
department particularly is being en
larged.
FRATERNITY GETS NEW HOME.
I'hi Sigma Pi fraternity has obtained a
three year lease on the IT. 1\. Stew ait
residence. 693 East Ninth street, and
will move into their new home in time
for school next fall. The expiration of
the lease on their present home, 414
East Fifteenth street and too cramped
quarters made the move imperative.
Ten Points of Grading Used
Include Expenditure
and Attendance.
MULTNOMAH IS NEXT
IN COMBINED RATING
Report Based On Statistics
Gathered Over Period
of Six Years.
Sherman and Multnomah counties
ranked highest in educational efficiency
in the state of Oregon, in a survey made
by Professor Fred L. Stetson, of the
school of education at the University
and John C. Ahnack of the extension di
vision. This report covers a period of
six years, from 1914 to 1921, and was
compiled at the request of the state su
perintendent of schools, J. A. Church
hill.
The ten points of grading which were
practically the same as that used by the
Russell Sage Foundation in ranking the
48 states in educational efficiency, and
are considered the most, important fac
tors by educational experts all over the
country.
Points Are Given.
The first ten of the points to be used
include: (1) per cent of school popula
tion that attended school, daily; (2)
average days attended by each child of
school age; (3) average number of days
school are kept open; (4) per cent that
high school attendance has of total at
tendance; (5) per cent of boys os com^
pared to girls in the high school; (6)
average annual expenditures per child
attending; (7) average expenditure per
child of school age; (8) average annual
expenditure per teacher employed; (9)
expenditure per pupil for other pur
poses than teachers salaries; (10) and
expenditure per teacher for‘salary. The
first five points take up the educational
Phases and the latter five the financial
points.
Western Counties Lead.
In the final ranking of counties pro
fesor Stetson and Mr. Almaek fouud
that Morrow county came first in item
1; Multnomah in items 2, 8, 10; Clat
sop in item 3; Benton in 4; Malheur ir
5; aud Sherman in 0, 7, 8 and 9. This
gives the western counties of the state
preference to some extent over the east
ern Oregon counties. From this chart
the five counties that lead in the educa
tional factors are: Yamhill, Multnomah
Hood River, Malheur and Union, while
the five leading counties in the financial
elements are: Sherman, Multnomah
Clatsop, Deschutes aud Morrow.
A combined rating for the counties
during the six year period assigns the
counties the following ranks: Sherman
Multnomah, Morrow, Clatsop, Hood
River, Deschutes, Umatilla, Wasco
Jackson, Lake, Columbia, Tillamook
Baker, Benton, Harney, Union, Crook.
Wallowa, Malheur, Coos, Marion, Clack
amas, Klamath, Jefferson, Lane, Doug
las, Josephine, Fork, Gilliam, Grant
Lincoln, Washington, Wheeler and
Curry.
Trend Has Been Upward.
An examination of the statistics for
the six year period said Professor Stet
son, indicates that the whole trend of
education has been upward. During
the war, in a few elements, there was
actual regression. This was particularly
true in regard to the educational items.
On the other hand the financial items
show' an abjupt upward trend, begin
ning in 1917. The year 1919 marks the
lowest point in the educational com
ponents, due to the effects of the war
which were carried over.
The authors, wished in conclusion, tc
indicate first of all the limitations of
such an investigation, in as much as
! only ten points out of a considerable
number that might have been made, have
j been chosen. Could all of these have
been taken into consideration, th<
J rankings of the counties might have been
; different. These ten points, however
jure believed to be among the most im
; portunt, and to have a close relation
! ship to general efficiency in sehoo'
! work.
No attempt has been made by I’rofes
sor Stetson and Mr. Almaek to award
I merit, or to place blame, according t<
the report. Accomplishment and not ef
fort, has been considered the chief value
of the study. “The final indexes may
I be analyzed and superiority or insuper
iority traced to each educational or
financial factor. These may be further
followed until the special elements of
strength or weakness in the school sys
te mis known,” declared the authors.
Electron Theory and Math
Have No Terrors for Arthur;
Bats 21 Hours Straight “1”
Any modern Diogenes looking for a
real student on the Oregon,campus can
put out his lantern and rest in peace.
Behold the man! He is Arthur Brain
ley—junior—major in physics—and his
record is a grade of “1” in 21 hours of
the heaviest courses offered by the Uni
versity during the winter term!
This record, rated as the greatest
scholastic feat ever performed, was an
nounced yesterday by Colin V. Dyment,
dean of the college of literature, science
and arts. Bramley, who was formerly
a student at the University of British
Columbia, entered from that institution
at the beginning of the last fall term.
He had completed his sophomore year
and petitioned for advanced standing.
Although Bramley holds but junior
standing he carried a number of advanced
and post graduate courses, totaling
seven of the most difficult and technical
offered by the University. This num
ber of course alone is an unusually
large number for one student to take.
He received a “1” grade in the fol
lowing subjects: differential equations;
analytical mechanics; organic chemistry;
applied mathematics; electron theory;
electrical measurement; mathematical
theory of electricity.
This record is considered phenomena]
by Dean Dyment, especially since the
University has raised its scholastic re
quirements. “Not since the University
was founded has a student made such
an unusual record,” said the deau.
According to the grade sheet, Brain
ley is credited with but eighteen hours.
Due to University regulations, no credit
is allowed for more than this amount of
scholastic work. Bramley, however
varied au additional three hours course
the mathematical theory of electricity
which comes under the head of post
graduate work. Receiving a “1” grade
in this course, raised his total above the
amount of credit allowed, although the
work required in carrying twenty-one
hours is not lessened by the fact that
credit, is only allowed for eighteen.
University Warblers to Show
Ability in Annual Event.
Since the appearance of the Men’s
Glee club in Portland last January, no
less than five hours a week have been
devoted to practice perfecting the same
concert. At the time of that concert
the Municipal Auditorium where it was
held was filled with a crowd of over
twenty-five hundred. It was arranged
by the Ellison-White management, who
told Joe Ingram, Glee Club manager
that it was the most successful attrac
tion they had booked for several years.
Further praise was given by J. Erwin
Mutsch, acknowledged authority and
vocal critic, and baritone in connection
with the Ellison-White conservatory of
music. Mr. Mutsch was quoted as say
ing the University of Oregon Men’®
Glee club was the finest he had ever
heard.
Such praise, combined with the com
ments of John Stark Evans, director
leave no doubt that the annual home
concart, to be given Saturday, April 23
will be one of the best ever given in Eu
gene, or on the coast for that matter.
Oregon is extremely fortunate to have
the privilege of hearing the concert last
as all the extra pratcice will make the
program so well received in the larger
city, unrivalled in finish, says Mr. Evans
Information regarding the seat sale
and program will probably be announced
early next week.
All Houses But Four to Enter;
< Teams Not Picked Yet.
April 26 and 28 are the dates that
have been set for the first debates ii
the inter-sorority contests. At this
time all of the competing organizations
will debate and after this the half that
receives the lowest number of point!
will be dropped out of the contest. Tin
dates for the finals have not yet beer
arranged, Gut it is though that they wil’
follow soon after the other debate!
are over. The question of the debate
is: “Resolved, That the exemption of
the Panama Canal tolls originally ex
tended to American coastwise vessel!
should be repealed.” Some reserve de
bate material has disappeared from th*
library and no trace of it has been found
At a meeting of the inter-sorority debat*
council held Tuesday evening it was de
cided that any organization found with
the material would be denied the right
to debate and in case that they had wor
any decisions the decisions would be
taken away from them.
Kappa Kappa Gamma, Delta Delta
Delta and Kappa Alpha Theta will not
enter a team in this debate, but practic
ally every other house on the eampui
will have a team out, according to Jes
sie Todd, chairman of the inter-sorority
debate council. Susan Campbell hall
will not enter a debate this year as they
have not had sufficient time to make
preparations.
IBSEN PU» REDDY
FOR PRESENTATION
Harold Brown, Reuel Moore
Take Comedy Parts.
Final touches were given to the prep
aration of Ibsen’s “Lady from the Sea”
last night when the dress rehearsal was
staged in Guild theatre. This play is
something entirely different from any
thing yet attempted by the Company,
and Professor Iteddie expects Kirffr'
thusiastie receptiou when the Norwegian
drama opens tonight.
In the play the comedy parts of
Lyngstrnnd and Ballested come in as t
fitting contrast to the heavier leads.
Lyngstrand is a would-be sculptor with'
“a slight short-windedness in the chest”
who coughs his way through the present
and paints his future in glowing terms
for the approval of the wtmien. Lyug
strand is played by Harold Brown. Every
one likes him, though none hold the
faith in his future that he does, en
couraged by the admiration that they ex
press for him.
Ballested, played by Reuel Moore, Is
a scene-painter, dancing-master, presi-j
dent of the musical society, hair cutter
and frisseur, guide and all, who has “ae
nclim-atized himself to various profes
sions” as he deems necessary for a res
ident of such a small place to do. He
finds a chance for a little bit of rare
philosophy between dobs of paint.
Tickets for both Thursday and Friday
will be on sale at the box office in the
Administration building today and to
morrow.

THEATRE ATTRACTION PLEASE#.
A large and enthusiastic audience
filled the Eugene theatre last evening for
the performance of the “Sweetheart
