One Out of 121 Oregon Citizens Attend College State Ranks 3rd in U. S. Washington 6th With One to 129 Ratio Twenty-four Per Cent of Students Migrate Oregon is the third ranking state in the United States in the propor tion of its population attending in stitutions of higher learning, ac cording to information contained in the Bureau of Education Bulletin No. 11, for 1926. One out of every 121 persons in stitutions out side of their home the state attend some college or university. The neighboring state of Washington rests in sixth place with a ratio of one in 129, Califor nia is tenth with one in 146, and Idaho, eleventh, with one< in 157. Utah has the ratio of one in 99, which gives it first place, followed by the District of Columbia with one in 103. The average ratio for the United States is one in 212. Oregon Third Again The migration of students to in state is shown to include 24.4 per cent of the total number, leaving 75.6 per cent to be educated in home colleges and universities. Oregon is third in the proportion of home edu cated students with 87.2 per cent, following California with 90.4 and Texas with 89.4 per cent. New Jer sey, with 21.1 ends the list. In the proportion in wrhich it edu cates and trains its own profession al workers, Oregon ranks fifth in engineering, first in agriculture, second in business and commerce, fifth in medicine, third in dentistry, second in pharmacy, twelfth in law, and third in theology. Among the reasons advanced to account for the migration of stu dents are: unsatisfactory courses of study, the desire to be away from home, higher expenses in the home state, the desire to attend, or not to attend, a small college, strict en trance requirements, knowing other students, college life, outdoor life, military training, failure to pass entrance examinations in home state, faculty, scholarships or em ployment, religious, and co-educa tional institutions. Men Like to Go The high proportion of home en rollment in the western states is laid to the existence of good facil ities for higher education and the distances to be traveled before equal or superior institutions can be reached. A general decline in the percen tage of migration is said to be un der way, due largely to the increas ed number of women attending col leges and universities. The women do not go as far from home for their education as do the men, it is indicated in the bulletin. Other factors are the growth fo urban institutions and the increase in state facilities. With 35 per cent of the student bodies of colleges and universities made up of women, the national ratio for women is one in 294 per sons, for men, one in 167. Oregon is fourth in the proportion of wo men in the higher institutions with one in 146 and third for men with one in 104.

Second grade children of the Con don school made up the class, and according to Mrs. Beck, they showed the keenest delight and interest in the new system. The demonstration was attended not only by the practice teachers in the school of music, but also by the primary teachers of the city schools, and Mrs. Beck predicts a successful future for her plan, and probable adoption in the Eugene schools next year. Although the system is designed for application to all grades through the eighth, work has started with the primary grades in the teachers ’ training classes. Toy instruments are given to the children so that they may use them as they think they should be used to produce the pieces which are played for them on a phonograph. Another demon stration will be given at the Condon school next Monday at 4 o ’clock. Dr. Smith Will Talk Before Sigma Delta Pi “Spanish Influence in the Philip pines” will be the subject of an illustrated lecture to be given by Dr. Warren D. Smith, head of the department of geology, at the monthly open meeting of Sigma Delta Pi, national honorary Spanish fraternity, Thursday night in the geology lecture room in Condon hall at 7:30 o’clock. Having lived for ten years in the Philippines, studying the life, geol ogy and geography of that region, Dr. Smith is an authority on that region. Slides will add to the in terest of the lecture. Communication (Continued from vage one) ternal life of the university, it is inevitable that the heightened feel ings and tensions of real polities should be felt. And properly so, for the American state university, whether for better or for worse, is not a learned body, dwelling apart from the general social fabric, but it is an integral part of our society, and a replica in miniature of the larger society without. Hence the wide significance of this issue of the control of the press within our aca demic precincts. This controversy is bound to have reverberations throughout the state and the coun try: and we should be glad that the issue is one of principle, not one of petty scandal, or indecorum, or per sonalities.
