WELCOME EDITORS!
The newspaper editors of Oregon
eonvene here today. Surely, this is
an annual event whieh brings honor
to the university. It is a conven
tion of men who are perhaps tlio
closest to the economic, conditions
of their own sections of the state.
It is not the convention alone
that is significant, but the 'men who
attend. These editors are the men
who promote Oregon, and who rep
resent and present the ideas whieh
are current in the state. In the
sessions of the convention the ideas
of western Oregon will mingle with
the ideas of eastern Oregon and
each section will be benefited.
The success of policies adopted at.
last year’s meeting, and the out
lines of the policies for the coming
year will be discussed. Because the
people of the community are in
fluenced by what they read, it is
necessary that capable men direct
the policies of newspapers.
The abilities of the Oregon slate
editors are unquestionable. Few
states have jis high a standard of
journalism as this state. Financially
it is equal to the best. It is stable,
dependable and progressive in all
its activities. The editors are rep
resentatives of advancement and
the communities cannot do without
them. Let us welcome them.—JOB

years. In IP07 1 went to Breslau,
Germany, where I stayed for six
years at the municipal opera house.
“While I was there I had one of
the most unusual experiences of nil
my hectic life. One day the direc
tor railed me to liis office ami asked
inn to tako “Carmen" with me on
my summer vacation and prepare it
for the uext fall. The part was not
suited to uiy voice and 1 was not
too eag"r to take the part, but 1
agreed to loam it over the summer.
"The next fall will'll 1 returned,
1 found that (lie woman who had
previously sung the part still waul
ed it, so I dropped the matter. Just
one year later, 1 returned home to
find that the director had been
trying lo find me and wanted me
to take the part at the opening
opera the next night. 1 did not wish
to endanger my reputation by doing
so, but finally I acquiesced and
went on the stage the following
evening. I did not ruin mv musical
reputation, but the experience was
one of ilu most hair-raising in my
whole experience. ”
Madame McGrow reluted how she
happened to become u music teacher,
“lu tlio summer uf 1913; 1 came
back to America to visit my parents
in Colorado. My mother died and
I stayed to help my father recon
struct his home. At the outbreak
of the war, T found myself ma
rooned ill America. My father did
not want me to try to cross the
ocean at that time. I have re
mained in America ever since. This
meant the breaking up of my career
and through it I have become a
teacher of singing instead of a
singer. Instead of singing grand
opera myself, I am endeavoring to
teach these young people what opera
means.”
Tonight Madame McGrow’s stu
dents will give operatic productions
of “La Bolienio” and “Carmen.”
“I often think, when T am directing
my opera class,” she says, “of the
time when I sang Carmen in Bres
lau without having rehearsed it for
a year.”

My First Job
Professors Relate Hou>
First Money Earned
By picking up pins, washing
dishes, and gathering vegetables,
Dr. Ethel I. Sanborn of the botany
department earned her first money.
“Like a child,” she says, “I would
earn a few cents in various ways.
I remember that my mother used
to pay me for picking pins off the
floor so my little brother would not
find and swallow them. I didn’t
have any particular jobs like boys
usually do.
“My father was a probate judge
and abstractor in North Dakota,
and, when I was older, I worked in
his office. I was paid 10 cents
every time I made an entry in his
book.”
The book in which the entries
were made was, according to Dr.
Sanborn, about the size of the top
of an office desk. An entry filled
one line across the page. “Some of
the abstracts could be written off
quite quickly,” she says, “but oth
ers took a long time. They wero
copied from notations my father
made on a card. T was quite proud
of the first #25 that I made from
this work.”
Dr. Sanborn does not think that
the women professors on the campus
will be able to equal the men when
relating first job experiences. “I
don’t believe women have so many
miscellaneous jobs to start them on
their way to fame as do men,” she
says.

i Interest in Press Conference
Grows With Each Meeting,
(Continued from Fugc One)
very thorough acquaintance among j
a large proportion of Oregon edi
tors through contacts made from
former years and through daily and !
weekly readings of each others’I
papers.
a r,u;
i,. ii...
and tlie advantages to newspaper j
men of tlie press conference, it !
would be well to quote Dean Col-1
lins, of the Portland Telegram, who
said in a paper before the ninth
Oregon newspaper eonferenee: “It
gives thorn perhaps—or should give
them—a chance to forget the quan
tity of false beacons that they have
been required by circumstance and
necessity and the pressure of hum- j
an stupidity, to hang up before I
their fellow men. It gives them a
chance, perhaps, to forget the quail-1
tities of bunk that they have been
obliged, under the late pressure of j
propaganda influclnjees, to unload j
upon tlie public.”
One man, at least, has attended I
every consecutive conference since I
they began in 11)11). Professor
George Turnbull, of the school of
journalism, proudly admits that lie
holds this commendable record. Ill
speaking about the actual worth of
the sessions, Professor Turnbull
said, “There’s no question as to
their mutual value, both to the
men who attend aud to the Uni
versity of Oregon. It does them
good to get together and get others’
viewpoints. It’s beneficial to them
to get in touch with the general
university atmosphere and meet
leaders in social, political and
scientific thought.”
Dean Eric W, Allen, of the school
of journalism, says, “In my judg
ment this conference is invaluable,
not only to the school of journalism i
and its students but to the press of j
the state itself. I feel safe in this
opinion because many editors have
emphasized this point from time to
time. The papers and discussions :
are of a very high grade and are j
always published. When published '
they compare favorably with any j
similar papers when read any- i
where.”
Professor E. II. Ford, associate
professor of journalism and a prac
tical worker in trade publications!
apd the newspaper field, said, “It}
seems to me that this is the way
in which the school of journalism
can function to the best extent. It
serves as a sort of rallying point
for editors of the state and gives
them an opportunity to make valu
able anti beneficial contacts and to
get new viewpoints.”
Granting the practical value and
worth of the conference which is
now in session it will be supposed
that another successful get-to
gether has begun.
