Soviet School Plan Outlioed At Gerlinger Popular Beliefs Shattered By Ex-Russian Teaeher Schooling Aimed To Help Meet Needs of People; Masses Get Much Attention What is best ror the group is best for the individual. On this theme is the educa tional system of Russia built, de clared Miss Elsa Mehlmann, for mer supervisor of secondary edu cation at University of Moscow, Russia, in an address before 100 education students and faculty in Gerlinger hall last night. The talk was sponsored by Omega Delta Pi, education club. Miss Mehlmann told her hearers that Russia is striving to make its school training fit in with the needs of the people. Contrary to popular belief, the Russian government has adopted many of the features of educa tion from other lands. The speak er stressed the point that the government was always glad to get good advise regardless of who gives it. Cultural subjects are very much in demand and all classes of people attend the opera and art galleries. Unlike many countries, indivi dualism is not placed in the fore ground. The students work in school, not that he may accumu late a fortune upon graduation, but that he may be better fitted to help his fellow men. At the conclusion of the main meeting and talk the group re tired to the main hall where dancing was enjoyed. Examinations Will Be Continued Next Week Preliminary examinations for masters degrees in the school of education will continue for the next two weeks.

Recurrently farm ers have held up the progress of farm goods on the highways of the Middle West, particularly in Iowa and Nebraska, where under the lead of Milo Reno, trade was entirely blocked by the striking agriculturists who thought that the stopping*up of the channels of trade would tend to boost the falling price level. Mountain Scaling Popular Among College Students There must be something be- . hind the popularity of mountain climbing among students, and Mack Hall, graduate from the Uni versity Oregon school of journal ism two years ago, thinks he has the solution. For climbing devel- ' ops the wind, and wind comes in 1 very handy when it comes to hand- 1 shaking the professors or enter- ' ing the popular around-the-fire • bull fests. And he's in a position ; to know. For years he attended : classes on this campus, and since ! his graduation he has been a look- 1 out man on Mt. Hood during the summer months. According to Hall, there were many University students who were quite frequent visitors at his little cabin on the very top of the mountain last summer. The most frequent of these during his stay there was Harold Kelly, former University track star. The life of the short-term rang ers, as the summer employees are called, is varied and interesting, according to Hall’s point of view. It consists ■ of the making of a weather report three times a day, the taking care of all climbers, the delivering of any first aid that might be necessary—in short, a general public benefactor’s rou tine. The greatest part of the work comes, however, at the first of the season when it is necessary to carry all the summer’s sup plies to the summit of the moun tain. Horses can carry provisions only as far as Crater Rock, and from there on it is the ranger’s job. While the service man is gener j ally busy, there are always times I when business is slack, too, and | then is when company is not only desired, but needed. So Hall had as a companion during his lonely : hours a cat—just plain cat. Ralph James Yergen, another graduate from the U. of O. school of journalism, accompanied Hall to Eugene. Yergen has a ranch just outside of Newberg now, keep ing up his journalistic endeavors by corresponding for the Oregon ian. Hall is a part-time correspond ent for the Oregon Journal. His stay in Eugene will be indefinite. Open Meeting of Math Honorary Wednesday Pi Mu Epsilon, national mathe i matics honorary, will hold an open I meeting next Wednesday, Febru ary 1, at 7:30 in room 206 Deady. Members of the new mathematics club which has been organized at Corvallis have been invited to at tend the meeting. Robert Jackson, Rhodes scholar at Oxford, who at present is at his home in Eugene, on a year’s leave of absence, will speak upon “Math ematics and Science in Oxford uni versity." Mr. Jackson has had a great deal of experience dealing with that subject, for previous to his graduation from this Univer sity in 1931, he was well known for his work in mathematics and science.” At Oxford, where he has had one year's work and to which he intends to return next fall, he majors in mathematical physics. Everyone interested is invited. CLASSIFIED LOST OR .STOLEN Two note books from car Tuesday. Finder may keep notebooks by return ing notes to College Side or my car. Blakely Hamilton. !

At the isk of making a positive state nent, Miss Hayes is the screen’s >remier emotional actress. As a natter of fact, the young lady >roved a thorn in the side of her :ompany when making both “Son Daughter” and “Farewell to trms." It is the custom in Hoi ywood to review the completed )ieture in semi-privacy; only the novie-world elect are invited, and he occasion is as momentous as jrivate. At the showing of these latest jictures, Metro Goldwyn Mayer's alented staff was amazed and dis nayed to see Miss Hayes deliber ately elevating a movie to the -ealm of high tragedy. The direc :or was shocked, and the execu tes were shocked. New endings vere shot, and premier night showed Ramon Navarro dying first and happily married second. Acting won out, oh miracle, and the vehicles were released as tra gedy, and what is more important to us and the future of America’s greatest entertainment medium, as exquisite work. Miss Hayes in every particular is as lovely as a pale Chinese flower, and as charm ing. “Son-Daughter” is not a happy picture, but it is emphatically a good picture. Even Ramon was convincing. Lewis Stone, H. B. Warner, Warner Oland. The Colonial has gone on a new, money-back-if-you’re - not-satisf ied basis for the showing of “Trailing the Killar,” Wide World's latest.! ” epic. Th* burthen of acting is re- [ moved from the shoulder’s of Wide! 0 World's human stars, and placed! w on the canine haunches of Lobo, \ v police dog extraordinary. It was! 10 a happy choice, for this is one of k their stellar releases you will not 11 walk out on. At least, no one 0 asked for a refund on their two- u Itfts last night. Outside of the fact that the 1 great battle between courageous, v nay miraculous, Lobo and the s man-eating mountain lion took; 1 place in the bushes at the bottom e of the garden, and consequently e was somewhat obscured by foli- r age, the photography was most I excellent. Scenes you’ll possibly like: The 1 ferocious battle between an un- r tamed bull-frog and Lobo junior; 1 Lobo’s double daring the rattle- £ snake; Lobo junior again being pretty pathetic and mighty cute 1 when backed in his hole by the 1 same ferocious man-eating moun- * tain lion, who evidently ate dogs, ! too. ■ 1 sic $ $ C Hollywoodian hit of the week: That well-known movie-magnate whose tricks of speech have be- ' come historic, was strewing econi- 1 ums anent his wife’s beauty. Said 1 he, arms wide: “Why, my wife’s arms are so beautiful I’m going to have busts made of them.” Fact, even without accent. Eugene Will Not Promote Pageant There will be no pageant in Eu gene this year, it was decided re lently at a meeting of the pageant committee, which was held to dis cuss the idea of promoting a cele bration this vear on the basis of donation of material and services, j Dr. James H. Gilbert, dean of' the social science department, a member of the committee, voiced the general view when he stated that Eugene had set a very high standard in presentation of the "Trail to Rail” and "Sunset Trail." in in 1926 and 1929 respectively, and that to depart from this, as would be necessary due to present economic conditions, would not be to the best interests of the com munity. The pageant committ.ee will con tinue with hopes that the situation next year may be better and that the celebration program can be brought up again. Philosophy Needed in Education, Says Jewell j Every student who goes out into the field of education should first form a philosophy of education. This was the main thought brought out by Dean J. R. Jewell of the school of education in a talk given to Pi Lambda Theta last evening in Gerlinger hall. In ad dition to the regular members about 30 interested girls outside the society were present. A student may gain a philosophy of education by observing the va rious phases of education with which he comes in contact. The various theories of education must be evaluated and considered, in addition Mr. Jewell gave many il lustrations of different philoso phies he had witnessed. Tryouts for One-Act Play Will Be Friday j Tryouts for the one-act play, “The Silver Candlesticks," adapt ed from Victor Hugo’s “Les Mis- i erables,” will be held at the West minster house, 14th and Kincaid j streets, tomorrow at 4 p. m., it : was announced by Julius Kusel, : dramatics chairman for the West- 1 minster organization. The play i calls for four men and two women I ' characters. 1 Other plays which have already 1 been given in different communi-! ties by the group include: “The 1 Collar Button,” two times; “Left,” 1 two times; “The Color Line," four times. REQUIREMENTS FOR IM PROVING SCHOOLS GIVEN (Continued Irtm Page One) His method would be to take the pupils out into the sun, give them a stick and by measuring the j length of a tower’s shadow with the stick work out the formula to give them the height of the tower. A child could be given such a , stick for a plaything along with the elementary instructions. Wha< he can’t understand he can be shown, and soon it will be a pleasure to him to measure heights without having to climb them. Professor Einstein contends. NOW I TIKLKN HAY KM RAMON NOYARRO in “Son-Daughter” Wotta Thrill “DESERT REGATTA ’ SILLY SYMPHONY 25c NEWS 25c j -'lass to Survey Buying Power, in Things Electrical “And have you any curling irons i your home, madam?” This vt’ill be the question asked : a good many Eugene house ives during the next two weeks, hen Prof. John M. Rae’s class in usiness statistics makes a mar et survey of the city of Eugene i order to determine the number f household electrical appliances sed. In order to make this survey, le city of Eugene has been di ided into 18 districts, with one tudent appointed to visit a cer rin proportion of the houses in ach district, and discover what lectrical appliances washing; lachines, curling irons, electric j ercolators, etc. -are used in each' ome. From the sample of Eu-1 ;ene homes obtained will be deter-j lined the average in buying iabits with respect to household ppliances. Before visiting a home, a stu !ent sends the housewife a letter, ntroducing himself and telling of lis project. The day after the .rrival of the letter, the student iresents a questionnaire which oncerns 50 different kinds of elec rical appliances. The purpose of the survey, ac :ording to Professor Rae, is three old: to give the students objec ive experience in that type of vork; to determine the correla ion between the low electric rates n Eugene and the number of elec rical appliances per family; and o discover Eugene’s buying pre 'erences in things electrical. rECHNOCRACY TO ABOL ISH MONEY, IS CLAIM (Continued from Paye One) :ome. To live well under technoc 'acy, no class need perspire and jroan under hard labor, any more han a child in the family must be nade to labor for its share of the amily income. In the family there s no production for exchange vith other members of the family, md no quid pro quo, when the amily income is apportioned. In echnocracy, as in the family, so ar as the child is concerned, there iced be only light work for a small jortion of the normal life. Ample ime for recreation, education, and slay, throughout the entire life vould be provided, not merely for .he rich, but for all. The real source of economic ^oods, under technocracy, would oc the vast aggregation of intri cate machines, designed by engin eers, and operated by automatic lontrols. The entire income of so ciety would be attributed to the entire system. Workers and non vorkers would be treated exactly ilike. Those too young to work, Business Class Works Out Index An index of business activity in the Pacific Northwest which is now being worked out by the class in business statistics under Prof. John M. Rae, reflects encouraging steadiness in the level of business ! activity in the last half of 1932, it was learned yesterday. The study shows a composite index made up of the following scries: production of Douglas fir; ] building contracts awarded: j freight car loadings; and bank debits. The figures of the index places the depression loss in Au-1 gust and November, 1932. Speaking of the study, Professor Rae said: “The maintenance of! the stability at the level indicated by the index encourages the hope' that the advantages of business improvements throughout the last part of 1932 may be held until the forces of recovery aided by sea sonal influences have had a chance to materialize into a more encour aging picture in the first half of 1933." ind those retired after their allot nent of light work, would draw heir incomes the same as those tctually working. There would be 10 need to differentiate between the laboring and the non-laboring •roups, because labor is not the ource of th'e income which is being iistributc'l. All production, and possibly all •onsumption, would be determined 3y technicians through charts, blue prints, and what not. There would be no need for value, to aid in dis tributing income, or for money, fhe energy certificates, mentioned it times by technocracy as a sub stitute for money would not be needed in this system, because there is no exchange. For the same reason there would be no need to attempt to discover value. The only use of these devices would be for convenience in con sumer in equalizing his consump tion. With certificates he could draw his goods out of the stores when needed. This is a new eco nomic word, not the old one re decorated. Specialized production is not for exchange; ownership, money, value, and price are abol ished. None but the most radical communists have proposed so rad ical a change. The two plans constructed out of the fragmentary proposals of technocracy’s spokesmen, are mu tually antagonistic. Exchange capitalistic-technocracy is incom patible with none-exchange-com munistic-technocracy. The former j scheme is not too seriously at odds with the present system, or with orthodox economic theory. The! principal disagreement is over the , workability of devices to be used.! The latter plan annihilates ex change economy, foundations and all, and attempts to create a new system upon entirely different principles. There arc a few “minor details” to be disposed of by technocracy. Is there a law of diminishing re turns? How complicated will in ternational relations be between those countries with mechanical resources and those without ? What if a vast number of essential pro ductive activities prove not to re spond to the machine ? Or to auto matic machines ? What about the population problem if life becomes sure, and soft, and sweet ? • Stu dents of social science will think of many similar details yet to be taken into account in the program of technocracy. One is reminded of the old yarn told among railroad men of the in ventor who had perfected, except for a few details, a device to per mit railroad trains to pass without using sidings. As the two trains met head-on, a trigger would be tripped releasing a set of springs which would throw one train into the air, permitting the other to pass beneath. Pressed for details as to how the train in the air would get back upon the tracks, the inventor confessed that he had so far concentrated upon general principles, leaving details for later solution.

Publishers Want , i 10 Most Popular U.O.Slang Words During the present school year, the University students have un dergone straw vote balloting, ad vertising questionnaires, and the like. Now comes a request from Funk & Wagnalls company. New] York publishers, for the 10 most! popular slang words used on the University of Oregon campus. With mid - term examinations still two weeks away, men and women about, the campus can re lax a bit, set the books aside for an hour or so, and rack the old brain for the latest and most com mon lingo. Here is a chance for some certain people, whose vo cabularies are-sadly neglected, to pick up a few' new words to spring on their friends. Just think what popular boys the freshmen can be at home, after learning the 10 words that Webster had never dreamed would spout on Ameri can campuses. Meanings of all slang words should be self-evident; otherwise they should be defined. All con tributions should be turned into the Emerald editor by the last of] January, since the publishers hope to have the list not later than February 8. » 25 Scholarships Are Offered for Study in Europe New England Institute Will Aid Deserving Scholars In New Program HANOVER, N.
