Jewell to Present
Education Ideas
To Yoncalla PTA
Dean J. R. Jewell, of the school
of education, will lead the discus
sion of an educational mass meet
ing at Yoncalla Friday afternoon
and evening. The meeting is spon
sored by several P. T.-A.'s in the
northern part of Douglas county,
Dean Jewell will talk on “Whose
is the responsibility for the edu
cation of a community?" The
situation has arisen where a
teacher goes into a community,
and is paid with warrants which
the people will not, accept for,
either rent or groceriess That
teacher is expected by the people
to furnish the education of the
community, and the teacher must
borrow or otherwise secure his liv
ing expenses.
Many teachers have gone from
this institution and faced that
problem. One man went to such
a community and discovered that
the warrants would not be ac
cepted. He packed his bags and
returned to his home. The com
munity wrote to the state board
of education and asked that his
certificate be repealed.
Dean Jewell feels that the teach
er's responsibility lies only in
teaching. The teacher is the
agent by which the community re
ceives education. He should work
hard to prepare the child for fu
ture activities, and the dumber the
child the harder he works, but
Dean Jewell says that surely a
whole community is better able to
pay for education than one indi
vidual, the teacher.
Dr. Jewell feels that possibly the
communities have not looked at
the problem in that light before.

Testing for Subjects to Start This

Out of a world built for right
‘handedf »p;e‘ople,. .the!,- pne-.smachine
built for a left-handed person is
the typewriter. This seems strange,
seeing that there are many left
handed people. Is the world simi
larly built to the advantage of
left or right-eyed people ? That is
what Eleroy L. Stromberg is try
ing to find out. He is working
for his master's degree in psy
chology.
In working for his master of
arts degree under Dr. H. R. Cros
land, associate professor of psy
chology, Stromberg hopes to dis
cover the relation, if there is any,
between right - handedness and
right-eyedness, or vice versa.
Stromberg is carrying on the ex
periments of Irving Anderson, for
mer student here, who worked
along this line, but did not test
each eye separately, as Stromberg
intends. This work has been go
ing on at the University for some
time.
Last year Stromberg received
an appointment here as graduate
assistant in the psychology de
partment, and came here from
Wesle3fan university in Nebraska,
where he was a member of Phi
Kappa Phi, an organization simi
lar to Phi Beta Kappa on this
campus.
It is expected that testing of
subjects will begin this month, and
that the work may possibly be
finished by spring term.

such superficial uestions.
Hobbies and spare time activi
ties?—“That’s better, yes,’’ said
Miss New; “drama, reading and
aviation.’’ She is taking several
courses in the art department and
plans to teach dramatics in the
future, perhaps. Her reading in
cludes especially biography and
high class fiction. As for aviation,
“that all depends on the pocket
book,” said Miss New, smiling and
blushing, an art which she still
performs remarkably, even after
two years in college.
Miss New may be remembered
by some as the charming young
lady who presented the awards at
the State track meet held on Hay
ward field last spring, and for fur

seen around the campus with Nan

History
The question as to the authen
ticity of the movie version of “Ras
putin" crops up every now a,pd
then. From a source which claims
to be Russian, comes the statement
that the characters in the picture
are overdrawn. We can forgive
the movies that. After all, aren't
all movies over-drawn ?
So much for the characters.
A short talk with Professor
Sheldon last night convinces me
that the movie is very nearly, if
not entirely, in accord with the
facts. The plot is built up on Ras
putin’s power over the Empress
through his miraculous cure of the
Prince Alexis. The dramatic cli
max is built about Rasputin’s
death, which, according to history,
was brought about by an arn^y of
ficer who thought the monk had
disgraced the royal family.
A question arises 'in only one
particular; that concerning the
part played by Diana Wynyard.
History does not record the ro
mance of army officers. But his
tory does record that Rasputin
was quite a hand with the ladies.
These points are used to advan
tage in the show.

‘To the Last Man" is another

and the family of the heroine.

Bing Crosby is said to be the
blight on the lives of all sweet-,
hearts and husbands. Now I’m no
sweetheart and no husband, so I
like Bing Crosby. To me Crosby
is a natural minstrel, and it has
been said that music which is sin
cere has its good points? Natural
minstrels are sincere. Q.E.D.
“Too Much Harmony’’ features
Bing Crosby. It follows “College
Humor” and is much on the same
line. It should be worth while.

Ex-Editor JSeuberger Tells
Of Jaunt to Mediterranean
By ELINOR HENRY
"Who is this fellow Neuber
ger?” asked a freshman Emerald
proofreader the other night. She
would have to be a freshman, of
course, for very few students who
were here last year did not learn
something about “this fellow Neu
berger.”
For within the handsome, boy
ish exterior lurks the dynamic
personality of last year’s Emerald
editor. Under the two swiftly
pounding forefingers is evolving
fiery writing which will be pub
lished in one of the most promi
nent liberal magazines.
This is the Richard Lewis Neu
berger (or Dick, as his friends call
him), who has a typewriter and
a desk (as an Oregonian campus
correspondent) in the basement
office of the informational service
in Johnson hall. The close-cut,
tight-curled brown head is bent
seriously over the rapidly filling
page.
When he looks up, the heavy
lashes which shadow his eyes give
an effect of native shyness. There
is little evidence, of the powerful
speaker that those who have
heard him know him to be. He
can shift almost instantaneously
from deep sincerity to teasing so
subtle it is difficult to detect.
He came back to the University
of Oregon this fall, he said yes
terday, to make up incompletes
which he took when he left school
early last spring to accompany
his uncle, Commander J. F. Neu
berger, U. S. N. medical corps,
on a trip to Mediterranean coun
tries and Europe. Commander
Neuberger is executive medical of
ficer of the third naval district,
and he represented the United
States government at the interna
tional medical congress at Madrid
this summer. There he gave a
series of lectures on surgery and
presented a new book of his on
medicine.
One of Dick’s ambitions, he
said, is to study law under Dean
Wayne L. Moi’Se of the University
of Oregon law school. He plans to
return here next fall to do this
unless he goes to Columbia or
Harvard.
Men, rather than places, inter
ested the ex-editor in his world
wanderings, though La Escoreal,
‘famousy ?^Sganish . mflseum, c-‘ -and
primitive Algeclras, on the„ tip-end
of Spain,* he. thought 'Jvorth men
tioning. .Camel-back riding in Af
rica he enjoyed not at all. Cruel
bull fights he saw in Spain dis
gusted him.. With all his sea
travel, it took the roughest cross
ing of the English channel in 26
years (presumably of the captain
or the boat, not Dick, who lacks
approximately six years of that!)
to make him a bit seasick.
Fitting his six feet plus into a
five and a half foot bed made
Algeciras memorable. In this tiny
moss-grown village between Gi
braltar and Africa, Dick found
himself the tallest man in town
There were no automobiles, no
electric lights, only a flimsy nar
row gauge railroad. Alone he
went, and very much alone he felt
until, when almost ready tc leave
he found a young engineer from
West Virginia. He found no one
else who could speak English.
Food was cheap and good, but
money evaporated in tips to in
terpreters and pesetas tossed to
youngsters in the streets. For 30
cents a “lunch” (!) was bought
consisting of two fish courses,
three meat courses, Spanish curry,
a bottle of wine, pastry, and fruit.
Neuberger’s itinerary included
Gibraltar, northern Africa, Spain,
France, Switzerland, Germany, the
London economic conference, the
Vanderbilt home in Newport, and
the Chicago world’s fair, as well
as Portland, Oregon, his home
port. The list of important and
interesting persons he met en
route sounds like an international
“Who’s Who.”
On the boat from New York
he became acquainted with Elmer
Rice, the playwright, and his
daughter. Coming back, Neuber
ger traveled on the same ship with
Senator James Couzens, liberal
senator from Michigan, and his
secretary, John Carson, former
Washington correspondent for the
Baltimore Sun. Neuberger visited
with Carson in Washington.
In Chatham, Massachusetts, the
Neubergers were guests of Justice
Louis D. Brandeis of the United
States supreme court. Dick called
him the greatest man he has ever
met. Ernest Gruening, editor of
The Nation, he met in New York,
where he also talked with Oswald
Garrison Villard, who is to speak
here February 24. Villard is the
son of the man after whom Villard
hall is named, and he asked many
questions about the University.

may organize at a reduction from
the regu]ar- cost of the correspon
dence course and at the same time
secure many of the advantages of
campus, instruction. (For"a class of
five for more students; the acost is.
reduced $2 per student and for
ten or more $3 per student.
Several groups are organized at
the r-esent time and several more
are m the process of organization.
Regular college credit is allowed
for this work.
