BY THOROUGH THIEVES The haberdashery on Alder street next to the Campa Shoppe, con ducted by Howard Hobson and Dick Gordon, University students, was entered some time Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning of last week, and robbed of nearly its entire stock. Nothing was left of the goods in sight except a sweater, shirt and necktie, which were evidently dropped on the floor by the thieves. A few boxes of merchandise which were stored un der the counter were left undis turbed. The loss was estimated at approximately $2,700, by Dick Gor don, one of the proprietors. The robbery was discovered Wednesday morning by Ben Turpin, who con ducts a business in the same build ing. He notified Hobson at once and the police were called. The store was entered by way of the rear window; the putty had been removed and the entire glass taken out. The police believe that the goods were taken away in a motor truck but as yet no trace of the robbers has been found. Officers think that the work was done by an or ganized gang, as there have been several robberies of the same na ture in several owns in the valley. The store will probably be re opened soon, Gordon said yester day. CIZEK EXHIBIT INTERESTS MANY Lecture By Dr. H. C Kollar Discloses Methods of Famous Art Instructor NO EXAMINATIONS USED Encouragement Main Aim In Development of Child Talent and Originality A lecture and exhibition that proved of greatest interest to uni versity students, school children, teachers and residents of Eugene was that held in the gallery of the Art building last evening. The collection was the work of the grade school children of Vienna under the guidance of Professor Cizelc, and the lecture that accom panied the exhibit was given by i Dr. Hans C. Kollar, who is con nected with the State School of Arts and Crafts in Vienna. Dr. Kollar emphasized the fact that the children, who were al lowed free use of the Art school’s studios on Saturday and Sundays, are not taught by Professor Cizek so much as encouraged. He tries to bring out in them the desires and tastes they wish to express in their work. He doesn’t change a child’s picture after it is fin ished, even though it might lack uniformity in color and shape. He never actually shows the pupils what to do but rather suggests the corrections he wishes made. Work ing with the idea that if every thing is done for children their executive power as well as their originality is weakened, he never works before the children but makes them work for themselves. Mental Age Counts mcumi age 10 umj' ago that counts with Professor Cizek. He treats them not by their years but by their ability, and this does away with competitive work. Also the fear and strain of examination is unknown to his pupils, and he has no grading system or method of awarding prizes or distinctions of any kind. His criticisms are an important part of his work, how ever. He is never sarcastic or se vere or humorous in his mention of a picture or model, but shows sympathy and understanding of what the child has tried to portray and encourages each one by giving a pleasant comment in each case. Once a month he suggests some definite idea to be developed, such as “Autumn” or “A Eainy Day” and gives the children an hour to work out their own conceptions. When the hour is up their work is set up before the class and they all discuss it, with Cizek himself giving his own encouraging com ment to each picture. During the work he absents himself from the room, allowing the children to work by themselves, believing that in terference is more harmful [than helpful. War Developed Work According to Dr. Hollar, it was the war that brought the work of Professor Cizek’s children’s school to the surface, not only of Austria but of the whole of Europe, and now America' is interested in the extraordinary development. The lec ture tour and exhibitions have not proven successful from a financitl outlook, in spite of the fact that people, enthusiastic over the re sults, are readily purchasing pic tures done by these young Viennese artists, but the success has been in making people happy to see such promise in the younger generation. Young school teachers both in America and on the continent have taken heart and profited by the methods of Professor Cizek, and in the children themselves he has brought out modesty and humility, | respectfulness and sweetness. They j trust in their fitness and enjoy their work heartily. O. A. C. FRATERNITY HAS HOME LAUNDRY FACILITIES Oregon Agricultural College—A fraternity on the campus of the Ore gon Agricultural college has install j ed a home laundry outfit for the use of the members.

Those who de sire to hear all the latest gossip about their friends in the stony department will be gratified, as well as those who are interested in the more serious phase of the progress of geology. The Condon club dance, with its cross-word puzzle programs; the Condon club initiation, at which the hearty lads dropped their picks and hammers and cooked flap jacks for the spectators (vile ru mor hath it that the aforesaid flapjacks seldom hit the pans); these and other dark mysteries of the club are dragged into the ■daylight, and frankly discussed. For those sober-minded folks who despise such frivolous amuse ments, there is news of the pro gress of the department, of the doings of *the alumni, and the activities of the geology teachers. The moving of the department into the new science department is anticipated eagerly. PAGEANT Colleges Send Suggestions For Nations’ Festival World brotherhood is the aim of the world pageant, to be presented Saturday afternoon and evening, at Guild hall, by the Cosmopolitan club.

Suggestions and help have been sent by other schools, where the affair is already an annual event. Besides folk dances, and skits, musical numbers will be iincluded. Bose and Helga McGrew will pre sent a duet, representing German songs. Sumie Yamamoto, of Mc Minnville, will give a part from Cherry Blossoms, in the Japanese act. Japanese home life, present and future, and a demonstration of the jiu-jutsu wrestling art will complete the part of Japan. Shig sru Fukuda is in charge of the skit. Students from the Phillipine and Hawaiian Islands have planned a balcony serenade, and a dance, “a la gato,” which is particularly characteristic of the islands. Rom ulo Avila is taking charge of the' set. The scene is entitled “The Dance of Night of the Phillipines,” The English students will do a country dance. Alan Button is completing plans for the skit. An Irish jig is to represent Ireland. A Greek dance, sponsored by the physical education department, will appear in the first part of the Greek act. The first part of the skit pre sents ancient Greece, the source of knowledge for the world. The de cay of Greece, the present distress, and finally an appeal end the act. Crist Loukes is chairman of the group. Tickets for both the afternoon and evening may be purchased from house representatives, the Co op, and Laraways. DEAN YOUNG REVIEWS HISTORY OF OREGON A review of the History of the Oregon Country, in six volumes, written by the late Harvey W.

Dean Young has written a re view for the Washington Histori cal Quarterly and will also write one for the Quarterly of the Ore gon Historical Society. Five of the six volumes are composed mainly of editorials writ ten by Mr. Scott for the Oregon ian.

CONRAD. GENIUS. ASSEMBLY TOPIC Dr. H. D. Sheldon to Give Appreciation of Master Of English Prose Style SEA TALES HIS FORTE Romanticist in Handling Primitive Passion, Realist In His Cynical Philosophy “Joseph Conrad: and Apprecia tion” is the topic of the address to be given by Dr. H. D. Sheldon, dean of the school of education, at today’s assembly. Dean Sheldon, who is an admirer of Conrad’s work, said when asked concerning his choice of Conrad as a topic, “I have always thought that when men like Anatole France and Joseph Conrad die the oppor tunity should be taken to make their works better known.” He characterizes Conrad as “a kind y»f strange genius.” Conrad did not produce any literatary work until after he was forty years of age when his first attempt, the novel “Almayer’s Folly” was an immediate success. His other works followed rapidly, amounting to twenty-five volumes, including novels, short stories, and articles. Native Language Polish One of the noteworthy things about Conrad’s writing is the fact that he chose the English language, which he did not learn until after he was twenty, as the medium for his literary expression. By birth he was Polish, his father being a nobleman who died in exile follow ing the Polish revolution in 1863. Conrad's mother also died as the re sult of the hardships endured at this time, and he was brought up by an uncle. He attended school for several years in southern France, and that section of the country he used later as the set ting for some of his stories. When he was twenty years of age, Conrad went to England where be - joined the British merchant ser vice and eventually became a sea captain. He married an English woman. Upon becoming a British subject he retained only the mid lie part of his name, Theodore Joseph Conrad Korzenioski. Sea Provides Background Conrad never used his native 'untry as a sotting for any of his ficiton. He was an authority on the problems of Poland, but his lit erary expression of them was con fined to a few articles published In magazines. His experiences on the sea, however, formed a very rich background for his work. In the opinion of Dean Sheldon his “Mirror of the Sea” is one of the most artistic and poetic studies of the ocean ever written. In his literary style Conrad is again a curious mixture. By his treatment of primitive passions and stirring adventure he has been classed a romanticist, but because of his somewhat cynical philosophy he also belongs to the realists. Music for assembly today will consist of a violin solo by Delbert Moore. MISS ALDEN TO ATTEND ATHLETIC CONFERENCE Miss Florence Alden, head of the department of physical education for women, will leave thig week end for Claremont, California, to attend the convention of the West ern Society of College Directors of Physical Education for Women, which will be held at Pomona col lege, April 6, 7, and 8.
