Not over crowded with expert teachers, but with a plentitude of mediocre ones, education has reached the point where it is faced with the necessity of discouraging students from taking up teaching as a life work unless they intend to specialize and really stick to it. Through weaknesses of the American educational system, public school teachers are often poorly equipped to instruct in the courses they are called upon to fill. The university’s school of education is confronted with per plexing problems, presented by students who expect to hold down jobs and yet arc woefully deficient in the matter of major and minor norms. In central United States many stales belong to an association which rules that no one can teach a subject in a high school unless they majored or minored in that subject in college. That, educators say, is a long step toward placing experts or near experts in the public schools. Last week end at Salem a committee of the state high school principals’ association drew up a recommendation to the state board of education to go into effect September 1, 1981, which looks to be a big step in placing Oregon in the race education ally speaking. li«lore any teacher can instruct in any subject m lugli schools above 4 teachers a minimum of 20 term hours is 1y be required in that subject, meaning that the teacher must have cither majored or minored in it in college. While such a move will make it hard for some of the students now in school to get jobs when they graduate it will also make for better equipped teachers in the larger high schools of Oregon. With these stricter requirements for better-trained teachers enters in another problem—higher pay. Oregon cannot get first class teachers for nothing. They will get just what they pay for. That is the situation today in the cities and rural dis tricts. Poor salaries mean poor teachers, for no high class man or woman will work for $1,000 in the teaching profession when he can get twice or ten times as much in some other. This is only a step in specialization in an age of specializa tion. Better salaries will mean better teachers and vice versa. Meanwhile, the school of education should continue its work of stressing specialization and discouraging generalization so that when the change comes, and it must, tho wayside will not be cluttered with the casualties. _ --« K i * ” “War” Proves Popular ’ TTP AT the military barracks on University street one finds a few facts and figures that are pleasing to a non-pacifist. With an enrollment of 700 men, 130 more than last year, the It. O. T. C. is entering into one of its most active years, under tin' leadership of Major Frederick A. Barker. Despite considerable talk to the contrary in campus circles, “war” has not been the unpopular course sometimes pictured in public print in the past. One of the major bones of con tention lias been the uselessness of military training when the country is at peace and has pledged itself to a policy of renun ciation of war. dust how strong this pact will he toward preventing future strife is a moot question for the rank and file of writers the world over and they have reached no decision either way. Ac cording to compilers of martial statistics, small wars occur every ten years and large ones once in twenty years. When the cycle moves around the United States should not be caught with millions of green fighting men. For that reason univer sities and colleges over the nation now have military training. The greatest value of the 11. O. T. O. work is not so much built around the university hours of credit allowed, but rather in the disciplinary and physical benefits derived from the training. Oregon lias a good K. 0. T. (’. unit which turns out creditable men and officers. A proof of its popularity can be seen in the numbers of upperclassmen who wish to continue their training. Crowded conditions make it impossible to use them all and the corps is able to pick the best for its officers. It is with gratification that the news of the expansion of the It. O. T. C. can he printed. Showers of eggs gave a Kansas high school principal a merry good-by the other day. An affidavit which resulted in the dis qualification of a rival school’s football star and the ultimate j loss of the game brought, about the irate send-off. Last year University of Iowa was kicked out of the Big Ten conference and eggs figured prominently in the row which followed. These demonstrations reveal a great need for farm relief and a market for the eggs in the Middle West. Harvard University has established the first school of city , planning ever opened in the United States. A degree of master of city planning is offered, and the students take topography, horticulture, municipal construction and housing in their cur riculum. This is a noteworthy step in the direction of speciali zation, but it would seem that jobs in this field would be a bit limited in number, , " LEMON the McDonald theater TICKETS ARE STILL WAITING TO BE AWARDED TO THIS WEEK’S BEST CONTRIBUTOR, SO HURRY AND SEND IN THE LOW DOWN. * # * The only trouble with the dirt handed in so far is that it’s so filthy it needs to be run through the washing machine before pub lishing. * # * INFAMOUS EPITAPHS Herewith we weep For Timothy I’im, A Beta Frosh And he couldn’t swim. * * * Did you hear about the absent minded professor who went to his class the Saturday of the game ?

The last previous profit made by the Oregana was in 1925 when the book came out $33.85 to the good. In 1926 it lost $301.97, in 1927, $771.55, in 1928, $2,848.97. Losses for the Oregana had in creased so much, mounting to al most $3,000 in 1928, and late pub lication dates and deliveries had turned student favor so much that an attempt was made to add $1.25 term tax on each student to guar antee solvency. Despite agitation by the Emer ald, only 909 students voted and of these 506, a majority of 103, vot ed for the tax. A two-thirds ma jority was required and the meas ure failed. The student council ordered plans to go ahead, a new drive started and failed, and final ly on December 7, the editor and manager resigned. The new heads appointed by the council made ar rangements with Kennell-Ellis to have a percentage of their income from sittings for the Oregana di verted from the Student Memorial building fund to the year-book re ceipts. The budget was slashed well within estimated receipts so that the fiasco of the preceding year might not be repeated.
