AIM IS TO IMPROVE CITY
Women’s Clubs of Eugene
Sponsor Movement
This week in Eugene introduces
a tree planting campaign through
out the city. Prof. E. E. DeCou of
the University, who has been asked
by the Federation of Women’s
Clubs of Eugene to take charge of
this work, has organized six com
mittees in the various districts of j
the city. Chairmen of these commit- J
tecs are now carrying on the work i
of taking orders for trees and as
sisting local citizens in planting.
The tree planting campaign is a
part of a movement of the Federa
tion of Women’s Clubs of Eugene
to beautify the city and is regarded
as the primary step in improving
the appearance of local property.
Miss Mozelle Hair, secretary of the
extension department of the Uni
versity, is head of this work for
the clubs.
Planting Is Discussed
Instructions in methods of plant
ing and information on the variety
of treos best adapted to the soil in
various localities in the city are
included in a small folder, which
has been issued by the committee
and is available from any of the
chairmen in the six districts into
which the city has been divided.
Tho cooperation of authorities on
planting and soil conditions at O.
A. C. and of several local experts
has been of great assistance in the
work of gathering information and
makes the folder of great practical
valuo to property owners who aro
taking part in tho movement, ac
cording to Mr. DeCou.
Fisher to Help
George W. Taylor, assistant in
spector of trees and shrubs of Lane
county, has volunteered his services
in the supervision of planting and
H. M. Fisher, superintendent of
grounds on the campus, is assisting
tho officials in tho campaign.
Orders for trees are being taken
now by committee chairmen, and
planting is expected to start imme
diately. By the end of tho soason
it is expected that tliero will bo
hundreds of now treos set out in
tho park strips of the city. Tho
plan for planting provides for cer
tain varieties of treos to be used
in particular streets so that the
planting will bo uniform and thus
add to its effectiveness.

PHONOGRAPH UTILIZED
TO TEACH LANGUAGES
Many Persons Working for Doctor's
Degree Take Course at
University High
Teaching languages by phono
graph is til" method useil by Mrs.
Kdith Baker Puttee, teacher of
romance languages at the Univer
sity high school. Mrs. Pat:c> has
beer, using the phonograph system
f.r several years and has in,ado
quite a study of it. Her article on
“The Use of the Phonograph in
Class Work,” has been printed in
tiie "Oregon Teachers' Monthly,”
and in “The School Review,”
which is published at the Univer
sity of Chicago and is recognized
as one of the best magazines on
education in the United States.
Mrs. Pattee lias reeeutly received
a new set of records in French an i
Spanish. They are of a new system
called the Rosenthal method, which
she likes better than any that she
has tried before. All the beginning
lessons are repented three times,
first very slowly and distinctly and
then slightly faster and last, us a
connected discourse and at the
speed of ordinary conversation. Mrs.
Pattee says that the wonderful pro

I nunciation and the genuinely for
eign voices are the best points of
the new system.
Many persons who are working
for a doctor’s degree', yet are be
hind in language work, come to Mrs.
Pattee and find that they can learn
quickly by the phonograph method.
. It is also very helpful to students
who find themselves behind in
class work, and to teachers who are
in doubt as to certain pronuncia
tions. Hie phonograph has the ad
vantage that it will repeat any num
ber of times without getting cross.
Mrs. Pattee thinks that one of the
greatest uses of the new method is
to give to the traveler a working
knowledge of the language of the
country in which he plans to travel.
The Rosenthal method has a num
ber of phrases for general use that
are of great help to prospective
travelers.

Dr. Edwin T. Hodge., professor of
geology, will broadcast a radio lec
ture from station KGW, of the Ore

and cards from all parts of the
country were received by both the
extension division and the Oregon
ian commenting on the 'transmission,

in number of radio receiving sets
all over the country, it is expected
that Dr. Hodge will have a far
greater audience, this year than last.

j series of locturos has been arranged
by the Portland branch of the ex
tension division.

TODAY The REX
JEAN GERARDY
Belgian ’Cellist Will be ]
Concert Soloist
I
ABILITY HIGHLY LAUDED
First Local Appearance to
be at M. E. Church
I
l
Jean Gerardy, great Belgian ’cel
list, will be heard in concert Wed
nesday evening, March 26, at the
Methodist Episcopal church auditor
ium. This marks the sixth concert
sponsored by the music committee of j
the associated students and admission,
as usual, will be by student body
ticket with townspeople paying the
regular admission price.
Jean Gerardy, whose fame is inter
national, has toured the United States
many times, however, this is his ini
tial appearance in Eugene. He made
his last tour prior to his enlistment
in the Belgian army, and with each
appearance the wonder grew that a
man could be so great a master of
his instrument. But Gerardy of to-1
day, say the critics, even surpasses
the Gerardy of six years ago. His
four years of active service in the
war and the past two years which he
spent in rest and study, have worked
wonders in the further development
of the great Belgian master.
Artistry Is Praised
Artistically, Gerardy is considered
a genius, and personally he is fas
cinating. It is said ho embodies
every quality necessary for complete
ly conquering his audiences.
Ho is not a young man.for he was
born 47 years ago on December 7, at
Liege, where his father, Dieudonne
Gerardy was a pianoforte teacher at
the municipal conservatory. Jean at
tho age of seven commenced his
studies with Bichard Boellmann, and
in less than two years won the second
prize at the conservatory. In 1889,
he was awarded the gold medal by!
unanimous consent of the jury.
When ho was ten years of age, he
appeared in public for the first time.
The following year, when he played
at Lille and Aix-la-Chapelle, the
newspaper critics hailed his as “an
apparition destined to revolutionize
the musical world.”
Yaaye Is Impressed
Eugene Ysave, world noted violin
ist, who heard the boy during the
| summer of 1888, was so greatly im
; pressed that he caused London ap
pearances to be arranged where Ger
iardy appeared jointly with him and
;Paderewski. Since then his successes
have been continuous and phenomenal.
“Jean Gerardy returned to us an
incomparable ’cellist,” said the New
York Globe following his concert in
the metropolis. “One might, expiate
|on his utter mastery of technique and
indulge in purple and swollen praise
of his marvellously rich and varied
tone.”
“Mr. Gerardy played with intensive

Present Tour Popular
Ilis present tour, it is said, is
evoking even more interest, if possi
ble, than previous tours. To the city
of Eugene and to the University

of the finer musicians of the world
and one that no person can afford to

popular shaving cream. Here’s
why:—It’s heavier, faster - working
lather, the way it lubricates the path
of the razor and eliminates painful fric
