J. A. Churchill Holds Costs of Education Lom State School Superintend ent Compares Systems Of 1891, 1925 “When I find newspapers com plaining about the mounting cost of education, I am not alarmed. 1 do not think we are paying toe much for education; I think we ar< not yet paying enough.” This statement was made by J. A. Chur chill, state superintendent of public instruction and president-elect of the new Ashland Normal school at a meeting of the Education club last night. This man, who might be called the “watch dog” of edu cational interests in Oregon, ac-| cording to Dr. Henry D. Sheldon of the school of education who in troduced him, has had 40 years ex perience in educational work of Oregon. Comparison of the educational system in 1891 and in 1925 was the subject of Mr. Churchill’s talk, and somo vital facts were brought to light to show the development and advance of education in this state. In 1891, enrollment in public schools was a little over 72,000, the cost of education being estimated at be tween one and two million dollars. In 1925 enrollment was figured at 179,189 with a cost of $20,393,296.00. These figures show an increase in enrollment of 144 per cent and an increase of 1800 per cent in cost. Causes of the increased cost which reached such an amazing fig ure in the space of 35 years, said Mr. Churchill, were the increase in salaries, increase in cost of equip ment, increased cost of the Am erican dollar and growth of the high schools. In 1891 there were three high schools outside of Port land, the three being located in Astoria, Baker and The Dalles. These high schools including Port land had an enrollment of five hundred students. In 1925 there were 270 high schools in the state with an enrollment of 36,419. Mr. Churchill traced the develop ment of education laws which grad ually raised the salaries of teach ers and the requirements for those who wished to teach. This develop ment has by no means roaclicd a stopping placo, he said. In 1891, graduation from the eighth grade and an additional two years in a normal school were all the training necessary to become a teacher. At that time, the averago salary -of a teacher wan 08 for a man, and $42.43 for a woman. Now, with the increased training requirements the salary lias risen until the averago is $164.62 for a man and $114.72 for a woman teacher. “I believe that there is as much of a future in the profession of teaching as in medicine, law or in any other profession,” Mr. Chur chill declared. Council (Continued from page one) ready now, but 1 do know that wo will have one sometime. To start :i magazine it will bo necessary to take a chance and we will liavo to make a stab at it so why not do it nowf ” Miss Shelly believes that inas much as the entire student body is called upon to support athletics when it does not represent the in terests of the entire campus, then the student body should sup port this magazine so that the lit erary students and those interested in such fields should be given a chance for expression. She says, that this is a small town, and we would have to depend to a great extent on subscriptions for our financial support to keep it going, but the students have evi denced a desire to back it with thei^4 money. Campus opinion intimates Klep is strongly opposed t> the arbitrary and despotic decree of the execu tive council in passing this blanket decision without considering ihose who have been vitally interested in the promotion of this magazine. To-Ko-Lo Society to Hold Luncheon Today All members, alumni ami pledges of To-Ko-Lo, men’s sophomore hon orary society, will be entertained with a luncheon at the Oampa Shoppe today at 12:10. Dean Walk er, Bob Mautz and Ken Stephenson, the latter two To-Ko-Lo alumni, will give short speechs on the situation of the honorary fraternity on the campus. All alumni members plan ning on attending are asked to no tify Jack Hempstead at the Phi Kappa Psi house. Work on Publicity Off Press; Copies of Quiett-Cusey Book Reach Campus Exhaustive Treatise Covers Many Phases of Public Relations and Does it Entertainingly “Principles of Publicity,” by Glenn C. Quiett and Ralph D. Casey, is off the press of D. Appleton & Co., and copies have reached the campus. Mr. Casey is associate pro fessor in the University of Oregon school of journalism, and Mr. Quiett is associated with the New York firm of Tamblyn & Brown, publi city specialists. The book is a distillation of the experience of both men in journ alism and in practical publicity, plus a year or two of work organ izing a body of material which makes this volume the most com plete and the most valuable the writer has seen on the subject. Both the why and the how of publicity are explained in detail. One thing the book makes no ef fort to do, and that is to explain how to get more publicity for something than it is worth. The work is on a high ethical plane. The relations of publicity to news and to advertising are frankly told. In the definition news is described as “current, truthful, and interest ing information from the point of view of one who wants to be in formed;” while publicity is tho same sort of information, from the point of view of one who desires others to be informed. “Newspaper advertisers,” the au thors point out, “are not deceived by thinly veiled advertisements sent in for the news columns, and such items are thrown into the waste-basket every day. But when an enterprise is able to convince the newspaper editor that its acti vities are of interest to its readers, and when it provides stories that can compete for space with the stories turned in by the newspaper’s own reporters, or information which the reporters themselves pse foil stories, then the material has been raised out of the elass of advertis ing as such and is accepted for pub lication by the newspaper strictly on its merit as news.” Understood thus, publicity men are supplementary reporters, willing that their material should stand on its own feet in competition with the news brought in by the staff men. There is a great deal in this book that will interest reporters who are not engaged in publicity work. Chapters on news stories and features; directions on writing a pamphlet; instructions on getting the printing to fit the purpose; chapters on the trade press, its needs and how the writer may meet them; chapters on house organs, the motion picture, the exhibit, and other media of publicity; instruc tions on how to handle institutional publicity, as for churches and edu cational institutions, make up the body of the book. “Principles of Publicity’’ is writ ten entertainingly, with a wealth of illustration taken from news papers and other media. The ex perienced newspaper man will find crystallized a lot of his general impressions; ho will find, further, many helpful suggestions which will fit either straight-news or pub licity. The younger reporter will find his path smoothed for him; the teacher of journalism will have another textbook of value. There’s a lot of good medicine crammed in to its 430 pages, and it’s most pleasant to take.

Of interest to nrasic lovers on t'Bs campus is the visit today of Willem Van Hoogstraten, director of the Portland Symphony Orches tra, who will speak at the music building at five o’clock this after noon. Entertainment for the visitor will be provided by the music fac ulty. Mr. Van Hoogstraten has been elected to honorary member ship to Phi Mu Alpha, into which he will be initiated tthis afternoon. The appearance of Mr. Van Hoogstraten was brought about tlle recently organized school of music student body, before whom he will speak. John J. Landsbury, dean of the school of music- says everyone in terested is invited; to attend to the extent of the capacity of the audi torium. Since Mr. Van Hoogstraten came to the United' States five years ago to appear as special conductor of the New York Philharmonic Or chestra, his career has been one of triumphs. Max Smith, in the New York American, recently wrote: “If there is such a thing as a special gift for conducting an orchestra, Mr. Van Hoogstraten has that gift conspicuously. ** After three winter seasons In New York and various vacation tours, Mr. Van Hoogstraten was engaged for the 1924-25 season in Philadel phia. Last summer the noted director appeared in several concerts in Los Angeles, and was so well received that an attempt was made to have him fill the vaeaney in the Port land orchestra, which he accepted. Since his arrival in that city, the fame of the orchestra has traveled far. Mr. Van Hoogstraten was born in Utrecht, Holland. In Europe he studied the violin under such mas ters as Nikisch, Steinbach, Mahler and Mottl, under whom he acquired the talent for leadership. [Miss A odd Finds j Far East Firms Hire Collegians Graduate of ’22 Returns From Extended Trip Through Orient “r noticed that in the biggest American and Btitish firms in the Fir-East only college graduates are employed,” said' Eillian Anld, in speaking of her recent extended tour; “and; farther, only men of good scholastic standing.’” Miss Auld, who graduated in the class of ’22, has just returned to her home in Khgene after a trip which began in New York and in clud'ed in its itinerary Palestine, Egypt, Sumatra, India, and Java. In the Philippines, Miss Auld met her aunt, Mrs. Eillian Seaton, who had been traveling- in China and Japan with Mrs: Gfertrude Bass Warner. Miss Autd and Mrs. Sea ton remained for some time in the Philippines, in the mountain prov ince of Baguio, before returning home. They arrived in Eugene Sat urday evening. “The part of the United States most similar to the Far East is that part which faces it, the Western coast,” Miss Auld continued. “It ought to give college men and wom en there more of an incentive to-j ward making more of their educa- j tion than the mere desire to gradu-1 ate, more of an appreciation of their | opportunity. For now even mission- j aries who are sent to the Far East are college graduates. “The big businesses established'1 there want men with a solid college ! foundation,” the speaker continued; “men who are well grounded in eco nomics and history, who have taken business courses. Business training makes one more adaptable, quicker to see different points of view. Law is a good preparation too, as is; en gineering. Higher mathematics are not especially important. “More than all this,” said Miss: Auld, “big businesses are coming tin For Rent Typewriters. Rental allbwedt on purchase price. 3 months*, $7.50.
