BIG EASTERNERS

BODIES OF EDUCATORS SAW MUCH
WORTH WHILES
WERE AMAZED AT SPIRIT
They Had Little Idea of Extent and
Fertility of Country and Expressed
Great Pleasure at What They Saw.
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." Of these,
the last is the oldest, having
been organized 23 vears ap-nr
while the Conference" of College
Presidents met in Portland for
the first time Auerust 17. A
permanent organization of the
Conference was effected, - how
ever, with W. J. JCerr, of Oregon,
as president, and Howard Ed
wards, of Rhode Island, as sec
retary. Annual sessions are to
be held hereafter on the day
preceding the convention of the
Associations of Colleges and. Ex
periment Stations; V
c The Purpose.'
The Association ' of ' American
Agricultural Colleges and Exper
iment Stations is - undoubtedly
the most important organization
of the kind in the 4- country. It
has certainly accomplished more
during the last two decades than
any other organization in devel
oping the "new education," and
in crystallizing sentiment on the
Question of adantins- the Rvstem
.and methods of school ' work to
the needs of modern civilization
