this case is measured in cash.

National Inspector Here

Faculty Says Better Grades
Go to Those Who Own Books
That Oregon students spend for
textbooks less than one-half the
amount spent by students on any
other university campus on the
Pacific coast is shown by Co-op
statistics. Stanford, which leads
in textbook sales, likewise leads
in scholarship. Is there any cor
relation between textbook sales
and scholarship ? If so, should
the library reserve system be as
extensively used at Oregon as it
now is? These were the questions
asked of several outstanding men
and women in different University
departments.
“If we had no reserve system,
I wouldn't introduce it,” declared
Dr. C. V. Boyer, head of the Eng
lish department. “Its one justifi
cation is for students who can’t
afford to I>uy their books. There
is no substitute for a book which
you can buy, read, annotate, carry
with you, and keep. Study ought
to, and love of literature does,
lead to the possession and love of
books.’’
“More effective teaching can be
done when textbooks are not ad
hered to too exclusively. As far
as buying books is concerned, I
think books for general reading
are of greater value for a stu
dent’s personal library than text
books,” asserted M. H. Douglass,
University librarian. “The ideal
situation would be to have one or
two standard books as texts, and
use the reserves for supplemen
tary reading.”
“To wish to own a book,” stated
Frederic S. Dunn, chairman of the
department of Latin, "is, judging
from my own experience, a sign
of greater desire for high-grade

Jenny Lind’s Story at Hex
Grace Moore literally brings to
life the famous Swedish nightin
gale, Jenny Lind, in “A Lady’s
Morals," current Rex feature.
Grace Moore, who is late of Met
ropolitan opera fame, is a singer
who sings with her brain as well
as her voice. This is a virtue sel
dom awarded to movie actresses.
Three famous composers, Oscar
Strauss, Carrie Jacobs Bond, and*
Herbert Stothart, wrote the songs
that make up the strongest ele
ment in the movie.
Telling an engrossing story ot
! the quaint Swedish singer, her
whirlwind success in both Europe
and America, many of the old fig
ures in the show world of Lind's
: time are brought to life. Chief
among them was P. T. Barnum -
portrayed by who else but Wallace
Beery.
Mystery at Heilig
Evelyn Brent, lovely and a con
vincing actress, appears at the
Heilig today in a thriller, “Dark
ened Rooms.”
The vehicle deals with a girl
drawn into a “seance" racket run
by Neil Hamilton. Being honest
hearted, she strives to make him
see the light and quit. “You never
can win.” The scenario was taken
from one of Philip Gibb's lighter
stories, published serially in a mag
azine.
Besides the star and Hamilton,
Doris Hill, Wallace McDonald, and
Gale Henry are in the cast.
Colonial Plays “Monte Carlo”
A gay picture, filled with spice
and zest, is "Monte Carlo,” clos
ing its Colonial theatre run today.
Jeannette McDonald and Jack Bu
chanan have the leading roles.
The film is the tale of a lovely
countess who goes to a European
gambling resort to escape a possi
ble marriage with a prince whom
she cannot bring herself to love.
There she becomes the recipient
of a handsome count’s affections.
The latter becomes her hairdress
er in order to be near her.
It is the last chance, by the way,
of seeing talented Jack Buchanan.
He died of heart trouble in New
York last month.

Movies Will Be Shown at
Yillard Today
"The Handling of Northwest
Cargo" will be the title for a mo
tion picture and talk to be pre
sented in Villard assembly at 1
o'clock this afternoon, H. C.
Hawkins, of the school of business
administration, announced yester
day. C. D. Kennedy, who will give
the program, is northwest mana
ger for the American and Hawai
ian Steamship company.
The films will portray the load
ing and stowing of goods on the
company ships, which are routed
to Asiatic and European ports, and
will be of special interest to stu
dents in foreign trade and trans
portation. Admission is free, and
all interested are invited, Mr.
Hawkins said.
Pan Xenia, professional foreign
trade honorary, will act as host
for the visiting speaker at a lunch
eon this noon at the College Side
Inn. Carroll Watson is in charge
of the event.

scholarship in a student. I admit
there seems to be a lack of that
disposition among our students.
Very few requests have come to
me on where to get a certain book.
Of course, there are the monetary
values to be considered, and it is
generally conceded that more af
fluent students attend Stanford.” !
Professor Turnbull, of the jour
nalism department, said, “A stu
dent is more likely to do better
work and enjoy it more if he owns
his own book, and can study when
and where he pleases, than if he
had to depend on library facilities
and library hours. I do not in any !
way criticize our very excellent ■
library service. The good student
will prefer to add the use of his
favorite texts to that of the library
reserves.”
"There probably is a correlation
between scholarship and textbook
sales, but I know so many girls
who use the libraries,” declared
Dorothy Thomas, Y. W. C. A. sec
retary, "not by choice, but because
they simply can’t afford to buy
their own texts. The student’s
own finances have a lot to do
with it.”
O. F. Stafford, chairman of the
chemistry department, stated,
“Every student should have at his
own desk books which represent a
substantial outline or framework
of his course. It is impossible to
put within the compass of any
textbook the supporting material
the book should have. To fill this
need is the function of the reserve
library. There should be little dif
ficulty unless the student relies
solely on the reserves for his
courses.”
' Speaker at Education Club

"We should teach the brighter
students to work to capacity in

by keeping the min the same class
with the dull students,” said Nor

The necessity for demanding
both mental groups to work to ca
