EXTENSIVE AREA SERVED
BY UNIVERSITY LIBRARY
Schools and Out of Town
Readers Benefited
In 1921 the University library mail
ed to out of town readers 988 packages.
These packages contained 2961 items
such as books, magazines and sheets
of clippings. Since college reopened
85 packages have been mailed out for
the month of October and 59 packages
for November. The largest single item
is 20 books to one person. These books
are borrowed for one month and then
mailed back. The library has borrow
ed from other libraries 144 books, for
the use of students and professors.
The library also sends out debating
material to nearly every high school in
the state. Small high schools ask for
material on debates, sometimes it is
for a class debate, sometimes for a de
bate with another high school. The
library then looks up the question aud
sends out books, magazines, pamphlets,
or makes copies of some special articles.
This material is made up into a package
and sent out to the high school request
ing it. They are allowed to keep it
for two weeks and if they need it long
er they may, upon request, retain it.
Such material is sent out as old mag
azines, or duplicate copies of present
magazines, pamphlets, and clippings.
Magazines such as “The Literary Di
gest,” “The New Republic,” “The In
dependent,” “The Nation,” “Review of
Reviews,” “Political Science Quarter
ly,” and “Economic Review,” are
greatly in demand.
The library practically serves the
whole state in this way. With the ex
ception of Salem, Portland, and Astoria
which have big libraries of their own,
the University library supplies debat
ing references for every standard high
school in the state. The high school de
bates have not yet begun but 17 pack
ages of material have already been sent
out.

Raakham illustrations. And through
it we find
“—many a monk and many a friar
many a knight and many a squire.”
And—especially in Grimm’s—Arthur
Rackham trees! Who has not loved
them with their fantastic arms, their
misshapen bodies, their clannish whis
pering and plotting over the heads of
long-nosed* gnomes and parchment-skin
ned witches?
There is a whole set of Thackery—
lovely to look invitation to

large imposing collections of paintings.
But we pass these over for just a mo
ment to pick up a very small book,
tucked in a corner and labelled “In
Praise of Old Gardens.” Wondering
how it came to be with the patriarchal
looking collection we turn the pages
and find an old, old friend:
"In coign of the cliff, between lowland
and highland
At the sea-down's edge between wind
ward and lee
Walled round with rocks as an inland
island
The ghost of garden fronts the sea.’’—
And then, a jangling bell announcing
that it is time to go to class. And we
leave, admiration in our minds for
1 those who have written the things that
we love to read again and again, and
with a feeling of reverence in our
| hearts for the creation that is a Book,
to come back again in another spare
( hour and live again in the Books.
OREGON INSTRUCTORS
TO WRITE TEXT BOOK
Professors from Six Colleges to Meet
at Corvallis to Write Work for
Political Science Classes
I)r. J. D. Barnett of the political
science department of the University, is
i no of the six instructors of a group of
Oregon colleges, who have organized
to write a work titled, “Cooperative
Analysis of the Local and State Govern
ment of Oregon.” The subject deals
with the anatomy rather than the ac
tive functioning of the state govern
ment. The work is not to be printed,
but mimeographed. The reason for this
is that the ntj'erial has to be revised
so often, because of changes in the laws
of the state The book is to be used as
a text book in the political science
courses end it is expected to have the
work ready for the next term of school.
A meeting of the writers of the man
uscript will be held in Corvallis the lat
ter part of this week, to make arrange
ments for collecting and mimeograph
ing the work.
Professor Barnett is the only mem
ber of the University of Oregon fa
ultv contributing to the work; three in
structors from the political science de
departments of Willamette University
lege and one from each of the same
departments of Wlilamette University
and Linfield College are writing for
the book.

MISS PERKINS TEACHES
ENGLISH AT PORTLAND
160 to 170 Students from Many Walks
of Life Attend Thursday and
Friday Lectures
Miss Mary H. Perkins, professor of
English and member of the staff of the
Portland Center of the tT. of O., con
ducts classes in theme writing, English
grammar and history of the English
language at Portland, Thursday and
Friday evenings.
“There are from 160 to 170 students
in these two classes," said Miss Per
kins. “They are composed of all kinds
of people, business men, teachers, wo
men with leisure who are interested,
muses, and students in advertising. 1
have one German woman who is inter
ested in writing short stories who has
had a splendid convent education, but
who needs knowledge of English gram- ;
mar to help her in her work. I also
have nurses wh i have been over seas.
I can't tell you the exact ages of these \
students, but there are grandmothers
in the classes.”
One interesting and peculiar thing
about the work is that these classes
have grown very rapidly in the past
year. There are two classes now where
there was but one formerly. Miss ;
Perkins says that most college students
are inclined to look upon this line of
study as dry and uninteresting, and
care little about it. This is not true
of her classes in Portland, however.
“I do not wish to say anything derog
atory about my University classes,”
said Miss Perkins, discussing her work
in Portland, “but my classes up there
are unusually interesting, and I enjoy
the work very much. The classes there
put you on your mettle. If they don’t
like the work or don't find it interesting
they can drop out. They are not in
clined to accept things without argu
ment, which is very stimulating.”
