P. .1. Devine Sends Request to
Dr. Bossing; Desires “The
High School”
The Research Institute of Edu
cation at Nowosibirsk, Siberia,
U. S. S. R., sent two requests to
the University of Oregon school
of education for an exchange ac
count with the educational period
icals. The periodical which they
requested is “The High School,'’
an educational publication which
has been recently suspended be
cause of financial conditions.
"The High School” was pub
lished by the school of education
at the University. Letters re
questing exchange came to Dr. N.
L. Bossing, director of University
high school, and offered “Proswes
chenie Sibiri” and other issues in
exchange for the publication. P.
J. Devine, professor of education
in the Siberian institute, said in
his letter, “Our institute, the only
scientific institute of educational
research in Siberia, and one of the
few in the U. S. S. R., is busy
working out the theoretical and
practical questions of education.
We know the educational maga
zine published by you and appre
ciate it very much. We largely
receive foreign educational maga
zines from all parts of the world
by way of exchange.”
Professor Devine offered in ex
change, the magazine “The Edu
cation of Siberia.” In this maga
zine the educational work of the
professors and scientific workers
of Siberia are printed.

PEGGY CHESSMAN, Editor
W/HAT one of us has not thrilled
1 ™ at some time or another to
Jeffry Farnol’s “The Broad High
way,” "The Way Beyond,” or
other novels of adventure and ro
mance ?
The author affords us another
opportunity for enjoyable, inter
esting reading in “Wind3 of
Chance,” an exciting narrative
that is a swift and swaggering
chronicle of the sea and the South
American jungles. The plot is
crammed full of dire perils and
numerous horrors, the heroine is
a young woman who openly re
belled against the customs of her
times, especially those in regard
to the gentle, quiet conduct of the
fair sex, a young woman of fire
and spirit.
A book that fits in very well
with the news of today and yes
terday is Lauren Gilfillan's “I
Went to Pit College.” The au
thor, a demure and diminutive
girl, was graduated from college
and set out to see things worth
writing about. So she went to a
mining town, lived with a miner’s
family, and became one of the
people. She went through a strike
with the miners, begged with their
children, dressed as a boy, and
descended into the mine herself.
Her book is the recording of the
human toil and tragedy in the sor
did town of Avelonia. It is a
strange and fast-moving factual
human document.

To the many students and fac- i
ulty members who became ab- j
sorbed in Hervey Allen’s “An- j
thony Adverse” comes the inter- |
esting announcement of the publi
cation of “Toward the Flame,” the
author's latest production. It is
an extraordinary personal narra
tive of the war, written in the
same captivating style that made
“Anthony Adverse” an internation
al best seller. That novel is soon ,
to be published in France. Holland, !
Denmark, Germany, and Sweden,
following a most successful publi- !
cation in England.

Eric Linklater, author of “Juan
in America,” has made of “Mag- j
nus Merriman” such an original;
and alive novel that it is no won- i
der it tops the list of England’s !
best-sellers. Magnus has been j
created so that he is a figure
worthy to stand beside ‘Gargantua 1
and Tristam Shandy.

For an excellent appreciation of I

show careful investigation. They
are soberly told but are startling
and rather disturbing.
“Germany wants nothing but
peace” Adolph Hitler told the
world in October of 1933. But,
says Stowe:
1. There are 1,000,000 disci
plined men in uniform in Germany,
in addition to the army and Prus
sian police. Are they merely a
political farce? Are they mere>*
“firemen” and “night watchmen”
as Hitler calls them?
2. There are 237,000 men in the
labor corps-drilling. Are they
merely another Civilian Conserva
tion Corps ?
3. All motorists are under the
absolute command of a Nazi lead
er.
4. 1,500 boys and girls of the
Hitler Jugend are taught the
glories of war by a government
whose ministers say “the germ of
the military idea must be planted
in the youth now growing up.”
5. The leaders of German
thought and education are preach
ing a nation-wide mobilization of
the war spirit.

By J. A. NEWTON
On Shearer’s Shows
A precedent was broken yester
day when I failed to tell you what
I thought of "Riptide.” Well, I
think it is very good, but would j
I say it is a bit drawn out. But a
| half hour or so extra of Norma
Shearer is entertainment in any
country.
This English actor. Herbert
Marshall, has been ballyhooed as
a gent to stir the feminine heart,
and I don't wonder. Actors with
the polish which he displays are
few and far between. He is an
excellent choice for the part of an
English lord.
And in addition to this polish,
j he has a wonderful, deep voice
j which is quality all the way
| through. Somehow he stands out
in this cast. Not that he over
shadows the others or “steals" the
picture. That would be impossible,
since Miss Shearer picks her own
stories and takes plenty of time
about it. and also since she is Irv
ing Thalberg's wife, and lastly,
| since her brother (as I recall),
Douglas Shearer, was the chief
sound recording engineer. Never
theless, Marshall is a prominent
factor in the success of this show.

VACATION NOTES
Crime-of-the-month: Katharine
Hepburn given the Academy oi
Motion Picture Arts and Sciences
prize for “the year’s best perform
ance” in “Morning Glory,” over
May Robson's unapproachable
work in "Lady for a Day.”
Best pictures: “I Am Suzanne.”
Romantic musical. Full of the be
witching Lilian Harvey.
“The Ninth Guest.” A corking
mystery. Eight people in a pent
house, sealed in by electrified
walls. Radio voice gives them in
structions. They are killed off
one by one. Outstanding.
“Only Yesterday.” Seen a sec
ond time, and paid for!
"F. P. 1.” English-made, and
displaying the improving English
| technical ability. Adventure.
Fine shots: The crashing thirty -
j second climax in “Bitter Sweet.”
Killing off the old sick lead sled
dog who hobbles along with the
team he used to lead, in “Witli
Byra at the South Pole.”
The slave market revue in “Ro

kind.
Physics Students
Play With Train
A toy electric train costing over
$100 has just arrived for use in ex
periments in Dr. Will V. Norris'
physics classes, and Dr. H. J. Un
ger, physics research assistant, is
now at work mounting an electric
motor and searchlight on one of
the flat cars which will be used
to illustrate gyroscopic motion.
The light from the flat car will
always shine in the same direction,
even when the train proceeds along
its rather intricate track because
of the gyroscope on the car, Un
ger said.
He explained that the train is a
very elaborate one, and that Nor
ris had said to him in regard to
it, “This is a train for kids like
you and me.”

of independent-minded students
who objected to being compelled
to buy tickets for things in which
they were not interested.”
The Eugene Register-Guard said
on March 20:
“The supreme court might take
a different view of the matt.er, if
a friendly test suit were carried
up, but the chances are Mr. Van
Winkle would be sustained. In
any event, the student fee issue
which was raised a few month*
ago has not been pacified with a
few gestures. It has become acute.
“A complete revision of the
status of these activities seems to
be the problem before the
board. . .
“There will be much wailing
over the situation. In all the
schools, football is almost the only
activity which really pays, and
even football profits are uncertain.
Minor sports, student newspapers
and annuals, class dances and a
wide variety of diversions (or oc
cupations?) have been dependent
on these fees. It is easy to say
they can be sold on merit, but in
the past it hasn't always worked
that way.
“Moreover, the auxiliary corpor
ation known as the Associated
Students in most of these schools
has heavy debts to pay: the A. S.
U. O. still owres about $30,000, and
it is said to be in splendid shape
relatively.
“The trouble might have been
avoided by a more considerate at
titude toward those students who
have been demanding a reduction
of the charges for activities. For
depression, the activity fee of $5
i a term has been too high. Many
students struggling to get togeth
er enough money for bare neces
sities have resented bitterly being
forced to contribute to activities
for which they hp.ve little time or
opportunity. ISiow the whole set
up is open to change, and it is a
good thing.
“The activities will not perish,
though some curtailments may be
necessary. Long before colleges
boasted these elaborate organiza
tions, most of the ‘activities flour
ished beautifully. There has been
too much ‘keeping up with the
Joneses’ at California or Washing
ton or Stanford. Oregon could
make -some educational history
and profit (educationally) by a re
turn to simplicity. There is more
truth in poetry in the charge that
in*most American schools ‘activi
ties have become a mild form of
'racket.'
“ ‘Activities’ are an inevitable
phenomenon of youth; even the
most zealous educators concede
their value, but they have been
over-developed and over-empha
sized, and in many cases they have
become an unjust tax on those
who can ill afford to pay.”

catibn is scheduled to act on the
matter in Portland on April 16.
