Requirements High in Chilean Universities " ! Parents Fined if Child Is Absent, Says Miss Dallera “Is it true that the ratio'of edu cated people in Chile is relatively low as compared with 'other coun tries?” “If this is true,” answered Miss Mary Dallera, of the Romance lan guage department, “it is because of the lack of opportunity, and not the absence of a desire for education on the part of the people. Up until five years ago, there was no pro vision made for the compulsory at tendance of children at school. This | was due to the fact that there were j not enough schools to accommodate them, nor was there money enough to engage teachers for what in this country are known as ‘country schools.’ The ruling now provides that all children seven years of age or over must attend school, or a fine will be accruing to their par ents. This eliminates the problem of the parents who sent their children to work rather than to school. They were the type, who, having had no schooling themselves, could not see the necessity of sending their chil dren there. The only appeal to this rule is in the case of the child who is the sole support of the mother, who otherwise would be dependent upon the state. “The whole system differs rad ically from that of the United States. The schools are controlled entirely by the government, whieh furnishes the books, and all other neeessary school supplies. The high school course extends over six years, and a native of Chile would, on en tering a university in this country, be able to enter third year, provid ed his English were good enough. The professions chosen determine the number of years which the stu dent will have to continue his studies in the university before he can ob tain his degree. “The new impetus to learning is due to the increased number of pro fessions open to the young people of today. The universities are car ing for more students the past few years than ever before. “Chile has two universities; one at the capitol, Santiago, and a com paratively new one founded ten years ago at Concepcion. The courses given at these universities are equal in worth, but the student must finish in Santiago in order to receive his degree. Concepcion, whieh is in the south of Chile, is at tended by those students for whom it would be too far to matriculate in Santiago. Each school or profes sion is separate, and each has its own buildings. For instance, if .you choose the profession of lawyer, you have your own school, and you spe cialise in that subject, never com ing in contact with other schools or professions. This allows for a greater degree of specialization, and there is less of the required work whieh we find in the United States. There is a president of the entire university, but it is to the president of the school in whieh your profes sion is taught that you go to with yo«r problems. The last two years are devoted to intensely practical work. Your methods are criticised, and the real truth of your progress is told you by your professors. You are given no examinations during the term, but a comprehensive one at the end. If you fail one thing, you fail everything. If you are not fitted for the profession you have chosen, they will advise you to choose another. There are no reg ular assignments, but the student must read, and read, and read. Then | in class they discuss, discuss, and discuss. It is not as in this country, where if you say one single word which was not in the book, the stu dents will say, ‘Oh, but that wasn’t assigned! ’ “The.students entering these uni versities must take a comprehensive examination over their six years preparatory work. These exams are both oral and written and are given before a commission. No one failing is allowed to enter the university, thus keeping it a place where those who Really wish to apply themselves may go.” Name (Continued from page one) Oakland, California: “I am submit ting a few names for your consid eration, Those I have in mind at resent are: Panthers, Mountain us, Rough Riders, and Cowboys.

Reward. nl7 Emerald and Illini Distribution and Makeup Compared By Dr. Boyer Urbana Daily Prints State and National News; Sunday Edition Has Literary Supplement “One of the most striking differ ences between the daily paper of the University of Illinois and'the Oregon Daily Emerald, and one which seems very odd to me, is the method of distribution,” said Pro fessor 0. V. Boyer, former instruct or at the University of Illinois, and present head of the English depart-1 ment. “I was very much astonished upon walking into your student co-opera tive store at the beginning of this term to find placed there two stacks of the Emerald, free to everyone. Those who subscribe to the ‘ Illini, ’ daily paper of the students of the University of Illinois, have their paper delivered daily to their homes, just as the Morning Register or Evening Guard are delivered in Eugene. There are no extra copies obtainable without extra charge.” Another difference which Profes sor Boyer noted was in that of the make-up of the two papers. The Illini is a larger paper than the Emerald, containing eight pages, and it is a member of the Associat ed Press. The front page contains stories of state and national inter est, rather than just student news. “In fact,” Mr. Boyer stated, “I got along very nicely without subscrib ing to the daily papers of the city. I felt that I would as soon go with out my breakfast as to miss reading the Illini in the morning.” “I do not know your methods of selecting the staff for the Emerald, but those for the Illini were chosen by a board composed of faculty members.” There was an attempt, Professor Boyer said, to publish a literary magazine at Illinois, which would come out once a month. The lack of student backing necessitated the abandonment of this effort, and the problem was solved in a different manner. “The students really felt the need of a literary publication, so they solved the difficulty in the following planner: every Sunday there appeared in the Daily Illini a literary supplement, which contain ed subject matter which ordinarily would have found expression in a separate magazine for that purpose. Part of this section was given over tor book reviews. The publishers were glad to co-operate with the school on this point because it was good advertising. Students, who would never read them otherwise, absorbed them because they were in the school paper. .This literary supplement has found great favor among the students and the lack of a special publication for this type of thing is not felt.” “Yes,” Professor Boyer conclud ed, “they have a eomie publication, 'The Siren,’ more familiarly known as ‘The Old Girl.’ The best adver tisement which can be given this r CLOTHES 1 — Ready-made — Z And Cut to Order “ ESTABLISHED ENGLISH UNIVERSITY STYLES, TAILORED OVER YOUTHFUL CHARTS SOLELY FOR DISTINGUISHED SERVICE IN THE UNITED STATES.
