Parents Attend Evening Classes In Coos County W. G. Beattie Reports on System in Vogue At Coquille Summer School Said to' Attract Teachers Holding regular school 'session in the evening so that busy parents may become better acquainted with j their children’s work, is the plan j which has been adopted with great j success by Superintendent Lynn A. j Barr of Coquille, Coos county, 1917 ^ graduate of Oregon, according to W. G. Beattie, extension division j lecturer who has just returned from visiting 28 schools throughout Ore gon. The new plan had its first trial in the grade school during Profes sor Beattie’s visit. Two regular class periods were held followed by an entertainment program. Over 150 parents were present, he said. Barr’s Plan Successful ‘‘Superintendent Barr should be congratulated upon the success of his plan, and Coquille should be congratulated upon having such a man as Mr. Barr,” said Professor Beattie. Similar plans have been tried before but never, to his know ledge, so successfully. The demon strations will probably be held about once a year in each of the three schools. Beattie was particularly interest ed in the Coquille exhibition be cause six out of the ten teachers in the grade school where it was held were former students of his at Mon ^ mouth. A great many of the principals and teachers in the five different counties he visited are intending to attend the Oregon summer session, Mr. Beattie reports. More plan to come to the session at Eugene than to that at Portland. New Books of Poems And Fiction Purchased By University Library New novels, books of poems and other books of light character which have been received at the library during vacation are being demand ed at once by the students. The books include a variety of subjects and are written by well-known authors. For those who have always heard of “Pepys’ Diary” and have been unwilling to read it because of the large amount of petty details it contains, “Samuel Pepys,” a por trait in miniature, has been written by J. Lucas Dubreton. This biog raphy is written in a modern style that will make the book worth while even to those who are familiar with Pepys’ Diary. “American Silhouettes” by Ar thur Crew Inman, is a series of short sketches of city people. “A Boman tie in Spain” is a story by Theo phile Gauties and is a translation from the French. Other books that have been re ceived are “East Side West Side” by Felix Biesenberg, “The Casuar ina Tree” by W. Somerset Maugham, “Nelson the Man” by A. Corbett Smith, “The Story of the Benais sance” by Sidney Dark, “They Went” by Norman Douglass, “Sum mer Storm” by Frank Swinnerton, “Words for the Chisel” by Gen evieve Taggard, “The Beadle” by Pauline Smith, “A Novelist’s Tour of the World” by Vincente Blasco Ibanez, “ Braith waite’s Anthology of Magazine Verse for 1926” by William Stanley Braithwaite, and “Marvels of Beptile Life” by W. S. Berridge. “Intellectual Vagabondage,” an apology for the Intelligensia, is by Floyd Dell, author of “Were You Ever a Child,” “Moon Calf” and “Bunaway. ” China (Continued from page one) eludes under the third principle, “Economic Equality.’’ While decidedly anxious to better the conditions of the laboring class, the Nationalist party is far from deserving the epithet “Bed” so often applied to it. The labor move ment is entirely divorced from the political movement; the “dictator ship of the proletariat” is utterly alien to the “Three Peoples’ Prin ciples. ’ ’ Above all Kuomintang is anxious to raise the standard of living of the masses of Chinese toilers. This is a matter of immense importance to the west as well, for as China becomes industrially developed she will be able to undersell the west unless in the meantime the Nation alist party succeeds in bringing la boring conditions somewhere near the level attained in the west. “Bolsheviks Dominate the Can tonese”—such is the charge of the Nationalist’s enemies both in North China and among the foreigners. It was Only after their disappointment at the Peace Conference’s handling of the Shantung question and the non-ratification of the Washington ' Agreements and after the refusal of westerners to accept the prof fered posts that the “Cantonese” (Nationalists), accepted the serv ices of Russian advisers. Sun Yat Sen, too, was a great admirer of some features of the Russian frame |Work of government, such as for in stance, the use of a central execu | tive committee in place of a single j executive. Consequently Kuomin I tang is organized much along Rus sian lines. Certainly, however, anyone not willfully blind can recognize the difference between “advisers and governmental framework” and ‘1 principles and policies. ’ ’ Certainly no one acquainted with the facts could call the “Three Peoples’ Principles” Bolshevistic. When student demonstrations compelled the treacherous Peking government of 1919 to refuse to sign the Versailles Treaty, and when students elsewhere in the country began to take an active part in China’s attempt to "regain her sov erignty, Kuomintang (Nationalist) leaders began to devote more and more energy to enlisting student support. Today students are busy address ing hundreds of meetings, editing and managing publications, organiz ing new branches of the party, edu cating the masses in the fundamen tals of self-government, directing women’s movements, preaching va rious social reforms—shouldering, in fact, the responsibility for the propaganda work of the Nationalist party.

Rhodes Scholar To Live at Christ Church College Alfons Korn to Leave for Europe in Fall; To Visit Paris Alfons Korn, senior in English on the campus, who recently was se lected as a Rhodes scholar from Oregon, has received notice that his application to live and study at Christ Church college was granted. He plans to leave New York about the first of September, sailing in advance of the other Rhodes schol ars in order to spend several weeks seeing the life and art of Paris. During the first year Mr. Korn’s work will consist largely of reading for the honor school of English lan guage and literature. Christ Church College is described as the most pretentious and splen did of the 21 which make up Oxford ! University. It was founded in 1546 by King Henry VIII, who used the plan designed by Cardinal Wolsey at the height of his greatness. The ruling that the college should ac commodate a dean, eight canons, a staff of cathedral men, three pro fessors, 100 students, 24 servants, and 24 almsmen was made upon its foundation. A distinctive feature of the col lege is a group of seven enormous bells which hangs in the cathedral tower. One of these bells weighs over seven tons. William Arthur Rosenbraugh, Ore gon’s Rhodes scholar for 1924, lives at Christ Church. Five Archbish ops of Canterbury, nine of York, five Bishops of London, John Locke, and William Penn are among those who lived at the College. In 1684 John Locke was expelled because of his radical philosophical beliefs, freely and frequently expressed. Mr. Korn is the ninth man from the University to be awarded a scholarship to Oxford. High School Positions Obtained by Graduates Results have already been real ized in the appointment bureau con nected with the school of education after weeks of busy registering and filing of student applications, to the extent that three University of Oregon graduates have received po sitions in the high schools of the state for next year. Many schools are now considering students regis tered with the bureau, although only three definent appointments have been made so far. The bureau places a large number of graduates in teaching and principals positions each year. The appointments so far this year are: Harvey E. Tobie, principal at the Stayton high school; George Fell, principal at the Dayville high school; and Troy McCraw, teacher of history and political science in the high school at Nyssa, Oregon. (Continued from page one) they are run according to Hoyle.

As the list of men’s houses began to form, it was feared that Sigma Pi Tau, twice winner of the cup for the best float and in line for a third award, would not be among tho first dozen. When the suspense had reached the 11 mark, Don Beelar, the chairman, inserted his good right paw into the wastebasket which contained the slips, plucked the much-sought paper, and that was that. Herbert Socolofsky, chairman of the canoe fete, stated that floats this year would be strictly artistic, with a few comic features preced ing the fete proper for tho benefit of such roughnecks as desire their art ameliorated.
