Education Dean Says Young Entrance Age Brings Disadvantage

Miss Larger,
Richer Side,
Says Sheldon
College Learning Not Only
In Getting Good Grades,
Believes Antlioriiy
School Associations Are
Said INecessary
Tftat students who enter college
young are missing the larger and
richer side of college experience
as the opinion of H. S. Sheldon,
dean of the school of education.
Some individuals who are young
and inexperienced do manage to
master their courses and obtain
good grades, Dean Sheldon went
on to state, but a well-rounded
life is not made up entirely of
being a capable student. On the
other hand, the associations
brought about through college
life are just as important and nec
essary. The younger student is at
a great disadvantage, because he
cannot be considered socially on
equal terms with the older stu
dents, who will look upon him as
a mere “kid.”
Required Courses Hard
Another reason stressed by Dean
Sheldon why younger students
should not enter the University is
that they are not mature enough
to undertake the work required by
certain courses. Some professors
suppose that a person should be
experienced to a certain degree by
the time he gets to college, and
as a result subjects are taught
with that consideration in mind.
Eighteen is about the ideal age
to begin the University life, Dean
Sheldon said, as a student should
have met various types of people
and traveled a good deal to give
him plenty of experience. A year
or so younger than this does not
make a great deal of difference
in how an individual gets along in
college, but the ages of 12, 13, and
14 are altogether too young, as in
the case of the Berle children in
Boston and the Weiner children.
Young Grads Regret
“I have known two or three stu
dents who graduated young from
high school,” Dean Sheldon stated,
“and they always regretted it aft
erwards.”
Bright children should be kept
busy, Dean Sheldon continued, but
not to the extent that will carry
so many subject that they will
reach college young.
“It would be a better plan,” he
said, “if people had these children
do extra reading in preparatory
school to develop their fund of
knowledge rather than for these
same children to rush to college
prematurely.”
Entrance Age Varies
The age of entrance varies ac
cording to the circumstances, Dean
Sheldon added, and depends upon
the natural ability of an individ
ual. However, there is no need
to postpone the college education
until later unless, of course, a stu
dent must stay out to work, as
after that age time becomes in
creasingly valuable. Until the age
of 16 there are few positions open,
but past the age of 18 a person
may easily obtain an opening.
CLARE E. HOWARD
WILL TEACH HERE
Clare Elizabeth Howard, direc
tor of the New Jersey College for
Women’s Library school, turned
down an offer from Columbia uni
versity to teach classes at the Uni
versity library here next summer,
according to M. H. Douglass, li
brarian.
Miss Howard will give two
courses, one in "The Administra
tion of High School Libraries,”
and the other in “Books for High
School Libraries.” Miss Howard
is quite enthusiastic about the west
and plans to travel on the coast
after summer school is over, Mr.
Douglass stated.

“The Donne Tradition” is the
title of a book which George Wil

book is at the printer's now, and
Williamson expects it to be out
about the first or fifteenth of Feb

The book is a literary criticism
of the work of John Donne, and
is being published by the Harvard
University press in Cambridge,
Massachusetts.
Mr. Williamson is also planning
to write one chapter of a criticism
of Galsworthy, in the near future.
The article will be part of a sec
tion of “Contemporary Literature"
which will appear in* the Decem
ber issue of ^“Modern Language
Association of America.” This as
sociation is composed of language
professors all over the United
States. It meets once a year and

lations club in the men’s lounge of
GerJinger hall. His subject will
be "Philippine Independence.”
The recent race riots in Califor

up in detail. The meeting is open

cussion from the floor will be in
order. The Filipino students of
the campus are expected to be
represented.

Boiul Invites All
Campus To View
Industrial Films
Movies Loaned to Class
In Manufacturing by
Bureau of Mines
At 4 o'clock today at Villard
hall the campus is invited by Pro
fessor Jesse H. Bond’s class in
manufacturing to view the third
of a series of motion pictures cov
l ering different fields of manufac
ture and industry.
The program will consist of sev
en reels, three devoted to The
Story of Power, three to the Story
of the Gasoline Motor, and one to
the Story of the Storage Battery.
The films #re furnished by the
United States Bureau of Mines.
Reel one of the Story of Power
will show the historical develop
ment of power, from Stevenson's
first steam locomotive to the huge
hydro-electric plants and electric
locomotives of today. The second
reel has as its subject, Niagara
Falls and the Big Creek power
plant of California. Reel three
depicts the workings of several of
the larger power plants of the
country.
The Story of the Gasoline Mo
tor takes the principle of explod
ing gas, describing it by animated
photography, and follows the pro
cess through to the completed mo
tor, showing in detail the con
struction and the operation of the
engine.
The Willard Storage Battery
company’s factory was the setting
for the third film, which shows
the manufacture of the modern
storage battery. This ought to
prove of especial interest to Ore
gon students, says Professor Bond,
since Port Orford cedar, an Ore
gon product, is mainly used for one
of the essential parts in battery
making.
PIANO STUDENTS

Eight students of Mrs. Jane
Thacher, piano instructor of the
school of music, were presented

A resolution to look into the

gestions were made that the hat
