Dean Returns From
Convention; Inspects
Leading Colleges
Various Courses Studied
In Six Institutions
In comparison with schools of
education all over the country,
which in line with a general move
ment are spending large sums to
build university high schools and
devoting a great deal of time to
research, the University of Ore
gon school of education is getting
as good or better results from its
system as they are, in the opinion
of Dean H. D. Sheldon, of the school
of education. He made an inves
tigation of leading schools of edu
cation in the large universities of
the country in connection with his
recent trip to Dallas, Texas, where
he attended a convention of the
deans of schools of education and
professors of education, February
27 to March 4.
Dean Sheldon visited the Uni
versity of California, Leland Stan
ford University; University of
Chicago; Ohio State University,
Columbus, Ohio; University of Iowa,
Iowa City; and University of Min
nesota. He inspected the work in
orientation courses in citizenship
and introduction to college courses
in the various institutions that he
visited.
“I found the most successful
courses of this kind at the Uni
versity of Minnesota. A survey of
the natural and social sciences, be
ginning with astronomy and ending
with economics, to give students a
knowledge of the fundamental prob
lems in sciences, is given in a course
in which the students are divided
into groups of about 25. One in
structor takes each group and
teaches the entire year, There are
no lectures, but a syllabus is pro
vided for study with a library con
sisting of about $3,000 of books
supplementing the syllabus. The
course is elective.
“A similar course is given in
Chicago, but is not as successful
because different instructors, who
do not know what work has preced
ed them, lecture on their respective
sciences.”
Dean Sheldon said that of all the
universities he visited, the Univer
sity of California had the best or
ganization of university high schools
for training high school teachers,
and the University of Chicago high
school does the most valuable ex
perimental work.
A new high school costing $650,
000 has just been erected at the
University of Michigan and plans
are being made to add a $200,000
swimming pool.
“In the last four years there has
been a very rapid development in 1
schools of education in state uni
versities,” according to Dean Shel
don. “I found this especially true
in Michigan, Ohio, California, and
Iowa. All are doing a great deal
of Scientific work for public schools
through research bureaus. Ohio
State University leads in research
work and the University of Iowa,
in the development of graduate
courses.”

“More Fun” Cry of Crowds
At Idaho, W. S. C. When
Marionettes Cavort
Bits of sawdust, wood, and eloth
—that’s what puppets are made of.
But it doesn’t stop them from wag
ging their cotton tails, provided, of
course, that they’re bunnies.
Bunnies will be here, too. You’ll
find them with Uncle AViggly at the
Heilig next Monday afternoon.
They have just finished playing be
fore audiences of 3000 persons
at Moscow, Idaho, and at Pullman,
Washington, so they will be expect
ing a hearty welcome.
Right after dinner Nurse Jane
Fuzzy Wussy with the aid of Miss
Twistv-Tail and the Pig Lady will
put them to bed, for that is the
only sure way to get them there
while Huckleberry Finn and his
gang are cutting antics at the eve
ning performance.
They are very particular people,
these marionettes. They insist up
on having their legs hand-carved
from wood: their joints must be
made by hand, and their heads mod
elled from clay exactly to fit the
role each is to play.
Often fifteen months are devot
ed to modelling hands, stuffing little
cloth bodies, arranging miniature
wigs, and selecting the most fitting
wardrobes before the actors will
consent to appear in public.
Even then they must have at
tached some nine thousand feet of
fish line—almost two miles. It’s
not used to catch customers either;
but is fastened on one end of sev
enty controls and on the other to
nearly 700 parts.
But still there are bridges and
platforms of appropriate size to be
made for the actors; scenes must be
painted, electrical effects planned,
and curtains sewed.
Add ten weeks of fourteen-hour
rehearsals, performances in 125
cities, and the noon train from
Portland next Monday; and you
will have Jean Gros’ staff of 75
marionettes all prepared to enter
tain you at the Heilig for the ben
efit of the Women’s League and the
Fine' Arts building.
Girls’ Hockey Teams
Will Begin Practice
Hockey practices are now begin
ning, and Ruth Scott, head of the
sport, is anxious for girls to turn
out. There is a good chance to
make the first team in hockey, she
said, as the teams are very large.
Previous experience , is not re
quired in order to go out for this
sport. A beginner has a good chance
to make the first team. There is a
lot of new equipment, too.
Practices are on Monday, Wed
nesday, and Friday at four o’clock,
and last forty-five minutes. All
those who wish to sign up may do
so at the bulletin board in the mid
dle entrance of the Woman’s build
ing.

THAT’S the way P. A. talks to you in the bowl
of a pipe. This great national gloom-chaser
stabs the darkest clouds with a ray of sunshine.
Buy a tidy red tin of Prince Albert today and
see. Tamp a load of this friendly tobacco into
your jimmy-pipe and light up.
Cool as a sub-cellar. Sweet as the breath of
fresh-cut violets. Fragrant in the tin and fra
grant as you smoke it. Never a tongue-bite or
a throat-parch. So mild you can hit it up from
sun-up to sun-down, yet with a body that satisfies
completely.
There s more philosophy in a pipe-load of
P. A. than in the average Doctor’s thesis. No
matter what brand you are smoking now, you
don’t know how much your jimmy-pipe can
mean to you until you pack it with good old
Prince Albert. Get started now.
