Intend a> second class matter at the post office at Eueene, Oregon, under act
at Congress of March 8, 1879.
“You Can Lead a Horse to Water—”
CONTENTION that the colle”ge student, as a rule, cannot
write the English language fluently and well needs no
statistics for proof. Fond parents, reading “Johnny’s” weekly
epistle from “collige,” could, if they would, so testify- num
erous employers have on several occasions publicly complained
of this defect in the college graduate, and the investigator
need not search far among the faculty waste-baskets to find
material in the form of pitiful themes and examination papers
furnishing additional proof and backing, were it needed.
Speculation as to the proliable cause, or causes, of this ap
parent chirographic lock-jaw proves interesting. G. Stanley
Hall, once eminent psychologists and able scholar, expressed
an idea or two on the matter- in his own, rather amazing, ver
sion of the “King’s English.” He goes back to the high school,
and points with an accusing, and perhaps, pointed finger at
several rather common practices. The gist of this indictment
may be told simply:—that high school students are at this time
in their adolescence,, a period when the mind expands rapidly,
reaching out and grasping for new ideas. Obviously, therefore,
new ideas should be supplied.
One of the best, one of the most available sources, is that
vast, miue of ideas, literature. High school pupils must dig into
this ore, then, and become enriched with its treasure. And now
may be stated the charge. Many of the high school English
courses emphatically do not encourage voracious reading, but
instead, assign but two or three books for a term’s work, forc
ing the eager mind to labor over the task of dissection of style,
recognition of “figgers of speech,” and such trivial, at this
important time, technicalities ns counting the feet, or determin
ing the verse form of “Paradise Lost.”
Such "finicky” exercises are no more abhorrent nor offen
sive to the boy or girl in the teens than offering a horse bear
meat instead of the exported pan of oats. The outraged quad
ruped bolts at such unnatural fare. Mentally, so does the child.
The remedy is so obvious- expression would be a reflection. . .
Mr. Hall had further fault ^o find, but it is not of avail here.
Voracious, wide, extensive reading will sow ideas, and instill
an attitude for recognition of style and lucid expression. It
will, further, enable development of style and lucid expression.
No small number of college students still shy at thought of
reading for pleasure and cultivation. They are dry. As shown,
perhaps, it is not their fault. They should drink. Now, how
ever, there will be no further excuse. The coming vacation
holds the opportunity -unless, as a professor on the campus
remarked recently, “You utilize the vacation as a collapsing
period.” 1 - •
UNION COLLEGE BANISHES
LIPSTICKS AND POWDER
Union College.—Three days to
lengthen their skirts, put collars
around their necks, throw away lip
sticks and powrod puffs, or be
barred from school. That is whnt
women at Union college. Seven Day
Advent school of Uniontown, Pa.,
found themselves up against two
weeks ago. The idea behind the
ruling is that the modern girl should
be inconspicuous in dress. Since
there is no record of any of them
leaving school for violating the rule
we muy conclude they are now the
most inconspicuously dressed girls
in college today.
MINNESOTA RADIO HEARD
11,000 MILES DISTANT
University of Minnesota.—An
other record has been broken by
the University of Minnesota. Long
distance radio transmission records
were broken hv the university ra
dio station when it was heard in
Australia for 40 minutes. The dis
tance covered was more than 11,000
miles and established a new record
for the Twin Cities.
HARVARD FIRST DAY CUTS

Harvard.—Instructors of Harvard
were notified at the beginning of
the new term that they would be
permitted to exclude men from their
classes rho “cut” on the f'-st day.

DEPARTMENT TO, OFFER
ELEVEN GIRLS’ SPORTS
Women to Have Big Athletic
Program Spring Term j
Arrangements are being started
today to take care of the sports pro- j
gram of the girls taking work in
the school of physical education for
women, according to Miss Barbara
Page, member of the staff. Eleven
sports will be offered, all for reg
ular physical education credit.
The sports that will be offered
are: horse back riding, golf, base
ball, volley ball, hockey, tennis,
swimming folk dancing, interpreta
tive dancing, archery and fencing.
The classes will*be open to approxi-'
mately 35 members so that it is de
sirable for the girls to sign up as
soon as possible at the Woman’s
building.
This will not be a registration in
the course which takes place at the
beginning of the spring term, but
rather a list of the girls who are
intending to participate in each of
the various sports, and the time
when they prefer to have their class.
In case it is impossible to get a
first choice, the girls will be asked
to indicate a second preference and
tho period when they could best
take it. All will be taken into con
sideration in the organization of
the courses.
This is the first time that fenc
ing is to be given for credit, and
also canoeing may bo taken, but not
for credit as that course will last
only two weeks, and only six girls
will be allowed in a class.
The members of the classes in the
individual gymnastic classes in
almost every case will be allowed
to elect their sport., although it will
bo necessary that some be assigned
that a girl may not get into a sport
; that will tax her strength too
greatly.
An effort si being made to give
the girls an opportunity to either
become proficient in the sport that
they are most interested in or to
| learn a new one.
The eleven sports will be divided
I and be under the supervision of the
j different members of the staff.

Of Recent Research
An article on “The Mathematics
of Biology,” written by Mr. OBCar
W. Bichards, a teaching fellow in
the department of zoology, appears
in the January number of the
American Mathematics Monthly, of
ficial journal of the Mathematical
Association of America.
Mr. Bichards believes that bio
logy profits to a great extent by
expressing its data in mathematical
terms and using that science for a
more direct solution of the rela
tions or the testing of hypotheses.
“Unless the biologist shares his
problems with the mathematician
as well as with the chemist and
physicist, he cannot expect his nec
essary co-operation.”

chemistry department, from an Ore
gon alumnus, Ian Thurston, who at
tended the University of Oregon

chemist for the Bethlehem Steel
corporation, Mr. Thurston has per
formed many interesting experi

concerns the fireproofing of woods.
He is of an old- pioneer family for
whom the town of Thurston, on the
Mackenzie highway, is named.
