Editor 665 Business Manager 961_ Daily News Editor This Issue Wanna McKinney Night Editor This Issue George H. Godfrey The Conquering Spirit Averse to patting ourselves on the back in that all-knowing way for we feel that to do so is to breed the spirit of provincialism,—-yet we must not overlook the tribute due the members of Oregon’s debat ing teams. After conquering the contenders for the State honors, which was accomplished when Reed College and the Oregon Agri cultural College debaters were defeated, the Varsity has added new laurels to the memories of these former victories. The Oregon debate teams have returned victorious over the rep resentatives of Stanford University and the University of Washington in the Pacific Coast Triangular conference. The Oregon debaters are not met at the train with yell kings and student serpentines, no rally bonfires are built and burned for them, yet their victory is fully as significant. Laurels in the intellectual field demand much which laurels on the athletic field do not; but comparisons are not necessary. It is enough to know that Oregon has triumphed again. Some time ago the plan for an intersectional debate was proposed by Stanford University. It met with hearty approval here even before it had as much significance to Oregon,—and now that it does mean so much, no effort must be spared to arrange that contest. An opportunity is presented to the West again, and Oregon has earned the right to represent the West. Tribute is due the members of the debating teams for furnishing Oregon with this opportunity, and new fields must be provided for them to conquer. Oregon, a Great State Oregon is n great State. Students and faculty alike share in paying the tribute, and this week an excellent opportunity has been afforded them to attend an exhibition of the products of Oregon in dustry and natural resources. The display has been prepared by Eugene business men and has for its purpose an education within itself. It has attained the purpose and is valuable not only from the educational standpoint but from the artistic as well. Carefully arranged exhibits in perfectly appointed booths have achieved a creditable exposition. Students and faculty members are presented a special invitation by the management to attend the exhibit. The action of the various classes in appropriating funds for the erection of permanent bleachers along the mill race for the canoe fete is typical id' Oregon spirit. The canoe fete as a distinctive fea ture of the Junior Week-end festivities is now a tradition. The pica for a decent assembly hall has been made, not as an excuse, however, for non-attendance at assemblies. Assemblies will go on as before, but we hope, with a little more sense of the comfort able and the artistic predominant. With the razing of the old Kincaid grandstand the last vestige of the “good old days" when Oregon’s athletic prowess was established will have disappeared. With one exception,—Bill Hayward, veteran of the veterans, is still with us. EDUCATION AND KENTUCKY Kentucky occupies tlio unique posi tion of a state attempting to legislate against education. Her citizens do not believe in evolution and the legislature has been asked t.j forbid the teaching of the doctriii' in tax supported schools. The college teachers of the state unt orally n s ut the idea of being told ■what not to teach, and they have writ ten to educators all over the country, asking their ooinions about the Darwin inn theory The educators were, to a man, strong for Darwin The people, determined to save the state, sent for their champion, the great Commoner, who loost d his silver tongue in support of Moses' \dunt, and of the propose!! bill. The last report has it that \dain is in the lead and that Darwin is likely to be legi-kited out of Kentucky Is Kentucky leading the rest of the states in solid educational progress? Are her citizens so far advanced that they may safely be trusted to dictate' to college faculties' The evidence at l and mi's not. Charles V S. Iden, writ ing in the January l adies' Home Jour nal. has an interesting word to say about the conditions in the lllue Crass state After quoting Federal Oommis [ sinner Tigort to the effect that America is n nation of sixth graders taught by tenth graders, he goes on to state that Kentucky is a state of fourth graders taught by eighth graders. ■•Nine-tenth* of the public school teachers in that state have not been to high school,” he says. It" this is true of the teachers, then what about the competence of the average citiron. who is so wrought up about Darwin? No doubt Darwin and l.e Diablo mean one and the same thing to him. The true origin of man may well be a question, but it is hard to understand how it may be settled by action of a state legislature. And at any rate the eiti ■ens of Kentucky are hardly competent to take the matter in Hand. Daily 1 lini.

JENNIE HUGGINS WRITES Graduate Pleased With Pep of Ameri can Colony in Shanghai A letter was received yesterday from MisB Jennie Huggins, ’18, who is do ing advance agent work in China for the Ellison-White Chatauqua company, by Hilda Tillinghast. Miss Huggins, who was in Shanghai at the time of writing, has been in the Philippine Is lands and New Zealand since leaving America. “There must be nearly 3000 Ameri cans here,” Miss Huggins wrote. “They held a bazaar for the visiting Shriners, who are here on a short tour, last night. There was so much more pep and en thusiasm than I have seen for the past month that I felt as if I were attend ing an Oregon football game. The English are so reserved that it was nice to feel natural again.” RELIGION’S REALITY TOPIC Rev. W. H. L. Marshall to be Speaker at Forum Thursday Afternoon “The Reality of Religion” will be the topic of Reverend W. H. L. Marshall, who will lead the open forum and informal discussion group which will meet Thursday afternoon from 5 to 5:45 in the “Y” hut. This is the second of a series of three discussions being held by Mr. Marshall on the general topic “Some of the Main Points of the Christian Faith.” The forums are being held about the fireplace of the hut and are meant to be a place where all men with earnest opinions may present them, amid home like surroundings without self-con seiousness or constraint. Secretary Putnam of the campus “Y” says in speaking of the discussions, "Hero is one place where it is per fectly proper for the preacher to get a ‘come back’ from his audience. Let us have yours.” W. S. C. TO HAVE DORMITORY Washington State College, Pullman, March t>. (P. I. X. S.l—The board of regents has authorized the construe tion of a now men's dormitory. Bids will be called for at once and erection begun as soon as the weather will per mit. It is planned to have the build ing ready for occupancy in the fall. CROCKATT WILL DISCUSS NAVAL PROGRAM TONIGHT Problem of Merchant Shipping Subject at Y Hut There must be a solution of the prob lem of merchant shipping, and the international relationships involved, as well as a solution of naval building, ac cording to Professor P. C. Crockatt, who will discuss this whole matter at the Forum at the “Y” hut this even ing from 7 until 8. Failure to solve this problem, and solve it soon, will lead to war just as surely as naval competi tion, in his opinion. Five-sixths of the tonnage of the world’s shipping is now idle, due to the unregulated competition in building that has been going on. In spite of this fact nations are embarking on pro grams of subsidized shiping develop ment as a national policy, without re gard to economic laws, which means that somebody wll have to go under, but possibly not without a fight. A great many of these important problems are accentuated on the Paci fic, in which the people of the coast > are primarily interested and responsible j for. Professor Crockatt is particularly qualified to discuss these and their relation to world peace because he was commissioned last fall to write up trans pacific shipping for the use of the American delegation at the Conference on Limitation of Armaments. Mr. Crockatt will present theBe and other problems and offer the solution that he sees during the first half of the hour, and the last half will be open to discussion, criticism, and questions. Everyone is welcome. STUDENT PARTIES POPULAR University of Washington, Seattle, March 6.—(P. I. N. 8.)—It is estimated that over 2000 students will attend the last of the series of A. 8. U.
