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.”

Ogres. George Meisinger, ’26, writes

“Shades of Darwin, ”he says, “Gor

John (“Doc”) Braddock, ’23, has

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
