The National Association of Book Publishers, through its executive secretary, Marlon Humble, has mani fested interest in the plan. “We know of no other college which has tried such a plan and we hope you will be sure to write us about your results,’’ their letter reads. Query's have also been received from the University of Washington, which hopes to use the information gained in a statistical survey. The contest, for freshmen only, is to ho an essay on the subject, “Books I have read during the year and what they have meant to me.” The reading is to date from October 1, 192S and continues to October 10, 192!).

Short Story Contest Deadline Advanced Timelier Asks for Scripts On or Before March 1 The . deadline for manuscripts competing in tlu; Edison Marshall short, story contest lias been, ex tended from February Id to March 1, according to Professor W. F. G. Timelier, professor of short story ayd advertising. This rvas done because there were not enough manuscripts turned in to justify awarding the prize, which is $50, to a story from such a small group. “It. looks to mo like a mighty easy $50 running around loose,” said Professor Timelier. Manuscripts must be handed to him on or before March 1, and they must tie typewritten, double-spaced, and on one side of tiie paper. For the convenience of the judges, two copies of each story will lie re quired. A good carbon copy will be satisfactory for the second copy. The name of the contestant is not to be written on any part of the manuscript, but must be handed in separately in an envelope with the title of the story on the outside. Professor Timelier again states that any student enrolled on the campus is eligible for the contest.

The place I picked out was at the junction of the Greek and Italian quarters; nearby in one direction was tile dune Adams' Hull house. and in the other a ghetto. I didn’t want to affiliate ravself with the organized slum workers, but 1 want ed to do something more personal and on my own hook.

Architecture is of the Fjiglish Manor type, with the full sweep of the roof broken by two dormers. The front, facade is eighty feet across, and the hall is twenty-two feet wine. The house is three stories high, bricked to tlio second story line, from where it is half-timbered to the roof. The briek, the timber, and the underlay will be ’done in blending shades. A heavy oak tim ber beam is over the front door way, a feature which combines with the general tone of the architec tural theme. Full French 'w.indows will light both the living room and the dining room, those in the front room being stained glass lined with lead strips. In addition to the full front porch on the sou 1 li, there is a covered porch facing west. Architects Named Tlu' architects are a Portland firm, Morris (1.

TToss, re cently elected secretary of state. * * * Members of Sigma Chi fraternity moved into their new structure at Eleventh and Hilyard Monday. Educators’ Ethical Aim Topic of Article II. Tuttle Writes Editorial For Teachers’ Journals There is a challenging gap bo tween the ethical aim of educators and its realization, Professor Harold S. Tuttle, of the school of education, assorted in an editorial that ap peared in tlie January issue of Wes tern Education on the “As an Edu cator Thinketh” page. “To date the simple fact is that our curricu lum builders, while acknowledging character to be the supreme objec tico of education, have not yet succeeded in producing a course of study which will give any assur ance of either habits, judgments, or attitudes of distinct moral signifi cance in flip lives of the pupils who follow it. Jndeed theTe is little evidence that' the materials themselves now constituting our course of study play any discern able part in the volitional lifo of the pupils who acquire them. Buell a situation is not so much a criti siem as a challenge,” the Oregon professor writes.
