Child Labor is Topic
Resolved: “That the pending
child labor measure should be made
a constitutional amendment” is the
topic which will be discussed by
the squads.
This subject is one of consider
able interest to the public both in
a social and political sense. The
measure, having been passed by
Congress was declared unconstitu
tional by the Supreme Court. As
a result of this action it was sub
mitted by Congress to the state
V legislature for ratification in the
form of a constitutional amend
ment. In some cases it has been
passed upon, while other legisla
tive bodies have defeated it.
Dean Allen to Preside
“The topic is one of present day
importance,” stated the coach. “Its
objective is to uplift working con
ditions of children under 18 years
of age."
Dean Eric W. Allen, of the jour
nalism department will preside as
chairman of the event in Villard
hall and Hal Hoss, of the Oregon
City Enterprise, Professor Bollen,
Linfield college, and P. E. Chris
tensen of Eugene high school will
act as judges.

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.

Condon Club Doings
Described in Last
Issue of Bulletin
i
The Condon club bulletin is
out once more! 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. The pageant, entitled the
Festival of Nations, is the first
of its kind on the Oregon campus,
and is to be made an annual affair.
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.
Scott, editor of the Morning Ore
gonian,' for about forty years, and
recently compiled by his son, Les

task of Dr. F. G. Young, Dean of
the School of Sociology.
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

the steps in the discovery, explora
tion, acquisition, settlement, and
development of the state.
Mr. Scott, himself a pioneer to
the Oregon country, told vividly
the circumstances of the state in
the early days.

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.
