COLLEGE GIRLS DECLARED
BEST OF SOCIAL WORKERS
More Original, Better Group
Leaders, Says Visitor
MISS MARY CLARK HERE
Home Mission Representative
Praises Adaptability
One college-trained young woman en
gaged in social service work is as val
uable to the service as three or four
who have not had the training that col
lege can give, according to Miss Mary
E. Clark, who visited the Oregon cam
pus Thursday and Friday in the inter
est of the Presbyterian boards of
home and foreign missions, of which
she is representative.
“The reason for this,” Miss Clark
explained, “is that college girls are
more original and have more group
leadership than girls who have never
gone to college. Their work in various
organizations and activities has given
them selfconfidence and ingenuity and
has n*ade them splendid organizers,
able to plan out new work and to see
it through. They have wonderful
adaptability.
College Activities Praised
“After all,” said Miss Clark, in a
tone of conviction, “I believe college
life contributes fully as much as a
college education. Someone lias said,”
she remarked gaily, “that the greatest
thing college gives one is the nerve
to try anything, whether he knows how
to do it or not. And,” she added,
smiling, “I rather believe that’s
true.”
When asked about the work that
these college girls are doing, Miss Clark
cited numerous instances of their going
out among foreigners living in con
gested quarters and caring for the
childien while the parents worked in
* factories and canneries, meanwhile
teaching them habits of clenliness,
wholesome recreation, American ideals,
and even giving them school instruc
tion.
Children Get Little School
“The i hildren of these cannery peo
ple cannot attend school regularly,”
Miss Clark said, “because of the tern
porary and transient character of their
parents’ work. During the canning
season, the workers move from place
to place ns needed, seldom staying in
any one place longer than a few weeks.
The children's school work is inter
rupted so often that they have little
chance to learn. Sometimes they can
not attend school al all, as in the case
of two 1 “year-old boys, who were
thrilled beyond measure at being
taught by the girls to write their own
names.”
High Service Performed
ll.v teaching these children higher
standards of living, us well as giving
their foreign born parents an insight
into American ideals, these college girls
are performing an invaluable service
to their country, Miss Clark believes.
“Conditions among these congested
groups of very new immigrants are
ideal for the spreading of bolshevism,” i
she continued, “and the girls are trving
to help them before they become em
bittered. Often they can work reform i
through the employers themselves. It
has sometimes happened that the cm
plover had simply failed to realize that
the children ought to be looked out
for while their parents work. In that 1
case, hi' is glad to cooperate with the '
girls. At other times, the girls simply
go into these communities ‘on their
own’ and establish their camps with
a trained nurse in attendance, and pro |
pare for their social service work. The :
Presbyterian board pays for the main
tainance of such camps."
BATTLE FOR BETTER
ENGLISH IS HEADED
^ BY FACULTY WOMAN
I
(Ooutinuod from page oue)
its work in tlio grade schools, carry 1
ing it directly through the high school |
to tho colleges. The slogan of the <
council is " Kvery toucher an Knglish
teacher.” A inemhership tlrive is now
in progress, timl every .lav more ami 1
more Oregon teachers are enlisting for
the cause of better Knglish. With this
excellent cooperation, Miss Turney be
lievcs, Oregon bills fair to become
foremost in this nationwide movement.
In order most effectively to reach the
desired end the program is thus di
vided: a program of research into the
desired results of Kaglish teaching to
be carried on by educational leaders
of Oregon; a program for the better
meat of the teaching of Knglish to be
carried on by patrons and teachers; a
program of improvement in speech
and writing to be carried on bv pupils
of Oregon schools under the direction
of the teachers.
To Correlate Teaching
The specific purpose of the earn
paign in Oregon are to correlate the
teaching of English with other sub
jeets; to establish a definite require
merit for Knglish instructors in this
state: and to coordinate the English
work in the grades, high school, and
college. Knglish clubs are being or
ganized all over Oregon at the present
time, and these organizations include
teachers of all subjects, in an effort
to improve English wherever it is used.
A special committee of five school
administrators, headed by Dr. H. D.
Sheldon, dean of the university school
of education, is working out a set of
requirements for English teachers,
which will be presented to the council
for approval. Questionnaires have
been sent to all the English instruc
tors in Oregon to determine their
qualifications.
Three Oregon Members
There are also 20 administrators in
this state who are heads of separate
research committees, the chairman hav
ing selected their own members and
their own subjects, which, however,
were suggested by the council. ' These
committees will work on some specific
phase of the comprehensive program,
such as, oral English, or applied gram
mar. Reports from these committees
will be heard, and action taken upon
the results of its research.
Three members of the University
faculty are vitally connected with this
work, namely, Miss Turney, Miss Julia
Burgess, professor of rhetoric, who is
an Oregon representative on the na
tional council, and Dr. H. D. Sheldon.
Mrs. Margaret Goodall, head of the
English department of the University
high school, is secretary-treasurer of
the Oregon Council of English.
JUNIORS WIN CONTEST
FROM BATTLING SOPRS
Wearers of Cords Annex 35
Counters to 19 of Rivals
The sophomores were unable to with
stand the fast passing and accurate
shooting of the juniors last night, and
suffered a 35 to 19 defeat in the final
and championship game of the Inter
class series, which was played in the
men’s gym at 4 o’clock. The juniors
won the interclass series last year also,
with practically the same team that |
carried off the championship this sea
son.
The juniors started the game with
a burst of scoring, and for a time the
game looked like an easy victory, but
the sophomores came back during the
last part of the half, and it ended
with the juniors only three baskets in
the lend. With the beginning of the
second half the sophomores seemed to i
loBe confidence, for their passing and
team work were only half-hearted, and I
the men vied with one another in
taking long shots.
The winners played a strong defen
sive game that the sophomores seemed
unable to solve, for the ball was in
the possession of the wearers of cords
during the larger share of the game.
The sophomores showed an occasional
flash, but their work as a team was
ragged, and their defense poor.
The entire junior team played a good
brand of ball and no men stood out in
particular. Roekev was high point '
man with 13, while Zimmerman was
inlv one point behind. The men who ,
ihowed up best for the sophomores
ivere Moores at guard, and Wilsev at
’orward.
The lineup was:
Juniors (35) Sophomores (19)
iockhev F 13 .Alstock F 7

TRAVELLER FROM COAST
TO COAST VISITS CAMPUS
James Alby Hill, 67, on Walking Tour,
Stops to Make Call Upon
President Campbell
Supported by a crutch, the bent yet
sturdy figure of an old man, crowned
by a mass of thick, white hair, which
curled around his shoulders, limped
into President Campbell’s office yester-s
day afternoon. He was James Alby
Hill, 67, of Berkeley, California, and
he is on a coast to coast walking tour,
in search of health.
Mr. Hill is the bearer of two inter
esting books. One is a register which
contains the signatures of prominent
known Californians to Eastern state
officials, and letters from well-known
officials. In this book is the signa
ture of Governor Stephens of •Cali
fornia, and the signatures of state of
ficials. Mr. Hill, who was seeking the
signature of President Campbell, pre
sented him with a framed picture of
himself taken in Golden Gate park,
San Francisco. The other book, which
Mr. Hill refers to as his “art-souven
irs,” contains pictures taken on his
trip, and messages from prominent men
in California to Eastern officials. Mr.
Hill is the bearer of a message from
President Barrows, of the University
of California, to President Bugen of
Colgate university, New York. Gover
nor Boyle of Nevada is sending greet
ings by Mr. Hill to Governor Brown of
New Hampshire.
Eastpoint, Maine, is the destination
of this 67-year-old hiker, who started
from Berkelfy last February on the
189th anniversary of George Washing
ton’s birth. “It is determination that
counts,” declared the traveller, “and
that’s what is carrying me along.”

their time, but Miss Waterman has
said that she will help the girls work ;

the new hockey field back of the Wo- j
man’s building. “Boom” Cannon will j
have charge of the Tuesday section and
Georgia Benson the Thursday section.

chance to make the teams according to
those in charge, tut all who possibly
can are urged to come to these special
practices in order to work up team
work.
The exact dates of the series have
