Social School
Closes Seventh
Year This June
Public, Private Agencies
Cooperate With Work
Of University
Credits May be Used
Toward Students’ M. A.
The Portland school of social
work will complete its seventh
academic year of training social
workers, this June. The school has
worked with the idea of public edu
cation along social lines, as well as
the training -of the actual workers.
While the number of persons
trained in any one year is not a
large one, graduates of the school
have gone out to take over respon
sible positions.
There are 17 public, private, and
civie agencies which cooperate with
the University in makng possible
the work of the Portland social
school. Among these are the State
Tuberculosis association, the Visit
ing Nurse association of Portland,
and the Oregon State Child Wel
fare commission.
General Work Given
The school accepts students in
general social work training, and
offers some opportunities for special
ization, as in the public health
nurse training. This qualifies
women for general public health
nursing, industrial nursing, school
nursing.
Among those activities which are
now generally conceded to be with
in the field of social service are the
efforts to relieve distress from pov
erty and dependency, both tempor
ary and permanent. The care of the
young and old is included. The
handling of public relief is passing
more and more from political
agents to the trained workers of
private agencies which are intrusted
with the expenditure of public
funds. In addition to child welfare
work, the whole peace-time pro
gram of the American Red Cross
is now definitely within the social
field.
Profession Well Paid
The present public demand for
trained workers has made the pro
fession a well paid one, in contrast
to the small income generally asso
ciated with such work. Many forms
of social work rank equally in
point of income with school teach
ing.
The Portland school if social
work is an integral part of the Uni
versity, with an academic course
of four years leading to the degree
of bachelor of science, or bachelor
of arts. Three of these years are
spent on the campus at Eugene. The
fourth year is spent in the Portland
school, located in the Multnomah
county library, at Portland. This
enables the classes to take advan
tage of the laboratory facilities for
social work training afforded by the
well organized agencies located
there.
Graduate Work Offered
Students wishing to complete the
full four-year course upon the cam
pus of the University or any other
accredited institution of higher
education may take the work of the
school as a fifth or graduate year,
earning about half the credits neces
sary for a master’s degree.
In addition to the degree course
outlined above, the school of social
work offers a certificate course of
one year and a diploma course of
two years for well-qualified persons
unable to get college credit for en
trance. Admission to these courses
is on the basis of experience in re
lated lines of activity or actual par
ticipaton in some form of social
work.

Robert Krohn
Gymnasium Leader Active
In Physical Education
In Public Schools
Robert Krohn, director of gymna
sium work at the Portland center,
has had a vital part in the develop
ment of physical education in the
schools of Portland as supervisor of
physical instruction. Mr. Krohn be
gan his work in 1891. It took him
two years to convince school direct
ors that physical culture was more
than a fad.
Mr. Krohn vas trained in Turn
Verin institutions. Before coming
to Portland he made personal ob
servations of physical educational
systems in Chicago, Philadelphia,
and St. Louis. With difficulty, he
obtained permitsion to demonstrate
his work in tie Portland schools,
it was through the teachers of pub
lic schools, who became interested
in his work, that he first came to
teach gymnastics before he was
regularly elected by the school dir
octors in 1893. Portland was the
Irst city in the Northwest to adopt
i system of physical education. The
oity now ranks among the best in
;he country in the field of physical
oducation.
Physical education has improved
the health of women of this genera
;ion, is the opinion of the gymnasium
director. “A few years ago,” he
says, “women and girls rarely
sntered into outdoor sports, but to
lay I know girls who play as good
i game of tennis or indoor baseball
is anybody.”
The platoon system in schools,
making it necessary for teachers to
be especially trained in the branches
they teach, has the endorsement of
Mr. Krohn.
Three years ago, Mr. Krohn dir
ected physical education at the
University at Eugene, during the
summer sessions.

OBAK Wallace, Publisher_E.E.J. Office Boy and Editor
VOLUME 4 SATURDAY A. M._ NUMBER 12
New Editor Wanted!
With the budding of the cherry
trees, the boss of the leading cam
pus publication decided that the call
of the sheepskin was too much and
so he is vacating his editorial chair.
The next problem that faces the
head of the publication will be to
select a new man (or woman) to fill
the position.
Of course, in making the new se
lection the publisher will discrimin
ate between contestants solely upon
their ability to produce. Two six
inch columns a week is the amount
that will bo required, and it must
be original and make even the
dumbest Freshman laugh.
Further, to be a successful editor
of this paper, the man (or woman)
must be acquainted with Obak’S
Klub. He must know what is pro
duced at the snow white lunch coun
ter, what kind of tobacco is handled,
what are the best makes of pipes,
the best cigars, the best fishhooks,
and the best brand of chewing
tobacco.
Further, he must realize the
groat advancement Obak has made
in euliilary arts, feel certain that
what the boss says about tobacco
cannot be disputed, and that all col
lege men come to Will, and 8th
when they have some hours for re
laxing and refreshing their tired
and weary minds.
Further, any man who applies for
this position (or any woman) must
be fearless, act upon all questions
as is taught in the good book, and
above all bo a true Oregonian and
Obakian.

There is no better example of
democracy than Obak’s tobacco
stand where profs, students, frosh,
deans, Dr.’s and janitors all supply
themselves with the weed.
Some men put up with a bad cook,
