Pleased With Hospitality. Oregon as viewed by eastern educators here recently-f rom the pen of President W.J. Kerr appeared in Sunday's Oregonian. This article necessarily holds con siderable interest for every Ore gonian and is here reproduced. Dr. Kerr says: I have been asked to say some thing about the aducational con ventions that were held in Port land during the week beginning August 16, with particular re ference to the observations of i the attendants upon these- con ventions regarding the conditions in the Northwest and the oppor tunities found here for invest ment and home-building. : ' Re garding -the conventions nhenr selves, there would seem little to be said that has not already been published. In summary, attention may be called to the fact that there were, in all three conventions and one conference, an aggregate official attendance of upwards of 300 and approxi mately as many more visitors, making a total of some 600 or 700. From Every State. All the states and territories were representated except Ten nessee, Connecticut and ' North Carolina ; besides the District of Columbia, Canada and Porto Rico. The organizations include : The American Association of Farmers' Institute Workers, the Association for the Promotion of Agricultural Science, the Con ference of Presidents of Agri cultural and Mechanical Colleges the Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Ex periment Stations."
