Enrollment in the 9th Corps i
Area R O. T. C. has shown a steady ;
increase dqjing the past few years.
This information was received by
the local unit from Corps Area
headquarters and made public in a
statement issued Wednesday; by
Captain F. L. Culin.
“In the 9th Corps Area which
includes the states of California,
Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon,
Utah, Washington, and Wyoming,”
according to Captain Culin’s state
ment, “the total R. O. T. C. enroll
ment in the senior division at the
present time is 10 897 as compared
with 9,375 in the" academic year
1923-24.
Many Advanced Students
“Of this total, 1,191 are advanced
course students as compared with
903 in 1923-24. From these figures
it is seen that practically one stu
dent out of ten registers for mili
tary work becomes a candidate for
a commission in the Officers Re
serve Corps.
“The figures indicate a healthy
and satisfactory growth, vindicat-1
ing the action of Congress in es
tablishing the B. O. T. C. as a
source of officer material for the
Beserve component of the Army.
Of last year’s B. O. T. C. students,
3,317 received commissions in the
Officers Beserve Corps.
“As the number increases eaeh
year, it should not be long before
the B. O. T. C. can supply the an
nual increment necessary to keep
the reserve element of the National
Defense scheme up to proper
strength. It is estimated that
about 7,000 new reserve officers
are required each year.
Captain Culin says that because
a number of the best men in the
University here take advanced mili
tary training, the B. O. T. C. of
fers increasing benefits to the stu
dents and th© State.
Eight Commissioned Here
(“From the viewpoint of pride in
our own institution,” the statement
continues, it is gratifying to note
that Oregon students are keeping
pace with students at other insti
tutions in this important civic
■duty.
“In June, 1924, eight students
■were commissioned second lieuten
ants of Infantry, O. R. C. Twenty
three are candidates for this com
mission in June, 1925, and thirty
nine expect to be commissioned in
June, 1926.
“The results obtained this year
in the local military department
are very satisfactory. The sched
ule of hours is arranged so as to
allow eloser personal supervision by
the regular army officers in charge
and the studeut attitude towards
the work is improving, as shown
by both attendanoe records and
grades. i

The amateur boxing and wrestl
ing meet held in the Multnomah
club Tuesday evening ended with
victories for the University in
three of the four events entered.
This meet was sponsored by the
Multnomah Amateur Athletic clut>
for the purpose of showing the de
velopment of amateur sports on’ the
coast. Men were entered from the
Unive^pity of Oregon, Oregon Ar
ricultural college and the Spokane
Athletic clnb.
The University was represented
by Tug Irving and Frank Biggs,
boxers, and Perry Davis and Syl
vester Wingard, wrestlers.
Irving, one of the cleverest box
ers on the campus, closed his bout
by knocking out J. Van Arman of
the Multnomah club in the third
round. Biggs won a decision from
James Flynn of Multnomah club, in
one of the fastest bouts on the
schedule.
Davis, one of the main bone
crushers of the squad, threw Ernest

struggle to Desmond Anderson af

This showing made by the var
sity athletes will almost assure the
University of having teams in both
wrestling and boxing that will be
able to hold their own with any
of the teams in the Pacific coast
conference.

ATTITUDE OF STUDENT
STRESSED BY TEACHER
Ethical Educational Values Should be Placed
Above Practical, Says Miss Martin
“Too much attention is being paid
to facts and not enough to attitude
in the elementary school system of
today,” said Miss S. A. Martin, a
student in the education department
of the University and a teacher in
the elementary schools of Oregon
for the past decade, in a recent in
terview.
“It should be the purpose of the
elementary school to develop the
proper attitude toward work. Not
only an interest, but a feeling of
the importance of work should be
cultivated,” Miss Martin said in re
ferring to the work of teachers in
the grade schools. More emphasis
should be laid on the pupil’s basic
conception of the things he is taking
up in school, instead of the actual
accumulation of the facts in his
mind.
Such a change must be brought
about, Miss Martin pointed out,
through the personality and inspir
ation of the teachers. “Through the
teaching of music, art, literature
and history, the pupils will be led
to attain perceptive and apprecia
tive powers so that when their
reasoning powers develop they will
have some basis for a judgment of
values.”
Answering the inquiry an to
whether or not the elementary
schools should definitely prepare
the pupil in the fundamentals upon
which a eollege education are built,
Miss Martin emphatically answered
that such a conception of elemen
tary education has had a very detri
mental effect, having led toward
the teachers being required to give
more time to the instruction of
these “fundamentals,” thereby ne
glecting the more important task of
getting the student in the “right
frame of mind” to receive an edu
cation.
“The trouble with the elementary
school,” Miss Martin said, “is not
so much with the curriculum, as
with the attitude, not only of the
teaching forces in general, but also
of the public, with regard to what
an education really should con
sist of.”
Miss Martin deplored the present
trend of elementary education to
ward the elimination of music and
art, and saw no relief from the ex
isting situation until a sweeping
change of public opinion takes
place; a radical change away from
the present materialistic conception
of things. “At present, the public
looks to the grade school to prepaie
the child for an economic function
in life, and anything which does
not seem to play a. definite part in
the development of this function
should, in the eyes of the public, be
removed from the schools. These
institutions are supported by the
public, therefore the teachers must
satisfy the public demands.”
SEVERAL STUDENTS WIN I;
IN HEILIG LIE CONTEST]
Prizes Also Awarded for
Humorous Sketches
Several students of the Univer
sity were again successful in win
ning prizes in the Heilig Newsy
vents' two contests, it was an

Miller tied with Cooper in the con
test.
In the joke column Virgil Mul
key, Anna DeWitt, and Eugenia
Strickland placed, and were award
ed free tickets to the Heilig theatre

“OH, WHAT |
A DAY”
You Only Eat Sunday Dinner Once a Week,
Let Us Make It the Biggest and the Best
Our friends tell us they get more than
their dollar’s worth of food out of our
Sunday Dinner. They get a real thrill
waiting for the next course—to see if
it is as delightful as the last. They know
the fruit salad will be creamy, the steak
| juicy and hot. This tickles our cook,
because he thinks he puts out the best
dinner in town.
