England Said to be Suffering
From Trade Depression
PAUPERISM HAS INCREASED
Immigration to United States
Important Question
“The greatest problem England has
confronting her today is the trade situ
ation,” declared Prof. Andrew Fish of
the English department, who recently
returned from a summer trip to England
and France.
While visiting his former home in
Newcastle, one of England’s greatest
industrial centers. Dr. Fish was able to
see what very few American tourists do
see, and that is that England is suffer
ing keenly by the present depression in
trade, one of the striking features of
which is the large number of unemployed
standing around on the streets.
“As a result of this depression, paup
erism has increased at a tremendous
rate,” said the professor. “Before the
war the proportion of pauperism was
from one in 23, to one in 28, but now it
is as great as from one in seven, to one
in 10.”
The professor stated that the English
government has met the situation by
handing out “doles,” which, however
are not sufficient to maintain an ade
quate mode of living, and that there
are many cases in which? with the
assistance of the dole and the poor
laws, as well as gifts, the man who
accepts a job may be, at the present
rate of payment, worse off than if he
had refused one.
Immigration Discussed
“Immigration to the United States,
is being greatly discussed in England
at the present time,” said Dr. F\sh
“The peple have heard of the prosperity
existing in the United States, and men
of the skilled mechanic class are leav
ing English for American as fast as
the immigrantion restrictions and
steamship accommodations will allow.”
“In regard to the situation in Ger
many, the English people do not ex
press much of an opinion,” declared
Prof. Fish,” except that they are anxi
ns to renew business relations with her,
which, of course, is greatly to their oyvn
advantage. Their attitude toward
France in regard to her reparatiAs
policy is that she is hardly playing
the part of a loyal friend in her at
titude toward Germany, because she is
simply maintaining international con
fusion. The psychology of the people
of England has changed since the war,”
he stated.

DONALD BARNES RETURNS -
WITH DEGHEE BE PH.D.
History Professor Praises
Standards of Harvard
Donald Barnes, professor, of history,
has returned to Oregon to resume work,
after completion of the summer course
at Harvard university, where he ob
tained his degree as Doctor of Phil
osophy.
Prof. Barnes is a former student at 1
Harvard, where he taught in the pre
paratory school for several years. Ho
also has attended other eastern col
leges, including Pennsylvania' State,
and the University of Nebraska. From
this wide scope he is well able to com
pare eastern and western institutions.
As to standards, he said, eastern uni
versity requirements were much higher.
Entrance requirements especially
were stressed, he said. Every student
entering other than a state college is
required to take a very rigid examina-)
tion in four subjects studied in the
last year of preparatory or high school.
This is called the “new plan” and has
been in effect for a number of years.
Students, however, do not find these I
examinations as hard as would western
students, according to Dr. Barnes, for
if college is anticipated by them, they
attend preparatory schools and are
coached in the subjects required for
entrance. This is especially true of
men wishing to enter Harvard, and
many times, said Dr. Barnes, they are
30 well prepared that the first two
fears of college are too easy. These,
however, are almost always wealthy
students. Harvard draws another
Unitarian Faith
e——
The world is living in the dawn of
a. New Day. We men of earth are even
now entering upon one of those mighty
periods of transition through which the
human spirit now and then passes on
its way toward the Eternal,—a period
fairly comparable to the Protestant Re
formation and thg French Revolution.
Every sign points and every voice pro
claims this new Day.
To attain a living religion for the
twentieth century.
We must be pioneeas, eager to dis
cover and apply new truths.
To find them we must be free from
prejudice. To live them, we must be
free from fear. We must be practical,
expressing our faith in our life.
We shair’need the fellowship of kind
red spirits to make our religion real and
persistent. The Unitarian Church offers
us such a fellowship of pioneer souls
who are together trying to seek the
truth and to do the right
The Unitarian Churches have no dog
matic creeds. They are organized about
a working purpose, commonly stated
thus: “In the love of truth and the
spirit of Jesus we unite for the
worship of God and the service of man. ’ ’
Sympathy with this purpose is the us
ual requirement for membership.
In this freedom every Unitarian works
out his own ideas about the universe and
man and God, using the scientific meth
od for the discovery of his facts. Most
Unitarians, however, agree that:
The universe, including all forms of
life, is one. »
That its development is governed by
law, the same in every part and time.
That evolution is the process by which
all forms of life, including man, his
thoughts and ideals, have come to be.
That therefore all religions, including
Christianity, are products of evolution.
The Bible is a human product, a record
of the religious aspirations of the He
brew people and of the early Christians.
Jesus is the great teacher, leader and
exemplar.
That mankind is one brotherhood, and
oaeh of us therefore owes justice tem
pered by love to every human being;
Eat we are mutually responsible for each
other and all men.
That evolution has not ceased, and
nan, by finding and using the laws
of life, can build in cooperation witb^
God the future, better than the past.
Each of us is a unique and necessary
part of the^jniverse, with a role to play
which no other can do, a work resting
on us alone. God depends upon our
faithfulness.
That the indwelling Law and Life of
the universe is God. who theiafore cre
ates, sustains and directs it.
God, therefore, dwells in every human
soul, the very essence of man’s inner
life
God’s laws develop the moral and
spiritual worlds in accordance with law,
exactly as they develop the physical
world.
. God speaks to man and reveals him
self to man in every law and fact of life
but most of all in man’s own hunger
for truth and aspirations towards poi
fection.
God, who dwells in us, is our Father
and our Friend, ever ready in wisdom,
strength and love to help us in our up
ward way.
These beliefs commonly held by Un
itarians, are the best we can now con
ceive of. The Unitarians, tor tomor
row, may find truer beliefs, and so be
better able to meet the challenge of the
world.
All the above has been quoted from
a statement issued by the Young Peo
ple’s pouncil of the Unitarian Church.
It seems to me to be a fair statement
of the general point of view of most
Unitarians. I print it here to interpret
the beliefs and ideals of our little Uni
tarian church at East Eleventh Avenue
and Ferry Street.. We invite you, fac
ulty and students alike, to share our
vision, our ideals, and our work.. Ex
pressive of our attitude we choose for
our slogan: “The Little Church of the’ I
Human Spirit.”
Services begin at 10:45 a. m. The
sermon topic next Sunday will be“ Life’s!
Meaning.” This little verse discovered
in Charles Lamb ’b Scrap Book will
serve as a text:
“Unless to be
And to be blest be one, I do not see
In bare existence, as existence, aught
That’s worthy to be loved or to be
sought.”
Miss Gladys Keeney, soprano, will be
the soloist at this service.

is, the finest university ’in.the country”
said Dr. Barnes. “It is not large;
there are never over six' thousand stu
dents and more than half of these are
usually undergraduates, but it has the
prestige to draw big men, and it makes '
big men.” "•
An interesting fact' about Harvard
is that thgre are no fraternities. There
are a few clubs, and some of these
are used as living organizations, but
nearly the whole student populace lives
in dormitories. \
