Eighty and six teenths of the total In Oregon is re ceived for public higher educraion as compared with 48.7 per cent for the' entire United States, fji other words the state is bearing p. larger proportion of the total' higher educa tlonaj pest and' tlie private institu tions 'are -performing ' a stnuller portion of the task than Is the case in most other states," thp report continues. "Further, for every $1,000,000 of its wealth, Oregon Ja invested $3,935, in capital asset; for its public higher educational institutions as compared with 92.500 for the United States as a whole. ' Oregon's investment in its higher educational property per 1,000 population is almost twice that of tne united states as a whole. "In Oregon 75.3 per cent of the total college population of tho state are in public higher institutions; in , tne united spates ns a wnoie only ' 60.6 per cent are in higher iustitu i tions. Further there is on? pollege ! student attending a pubfic higher ! educational Institution for every p3 ! people; in the United States there Is one- such student for every 200 persons. It. seems, upon the basis of this data, that Oregon's higher educational program Is considerably distorted."' Reference to consolidation of the higher 'institutions' under 1 one head was made in one portlph of th0 re port ns follows: ."The future must conteinpla'to one great pystoin of education in the state witji its several unts not competing but combining to make the. single, enterprise most effective. Continued failure tp main tain coordination that may arise by reason of the present dual adminis tration should result in the establish ment of a single administration.". Normal Rcbqpl Recqinniendntipns Concerning' " pone phases ' of the three nprm'aj schools, tho report rec ommends: ''Lower division 'work ' at AshJand and La Grande should fol ljow (if general that provided at Eugene and Corvallis, with such modifications as are made - necessary by absence of upper division' offer ings and equipment. The education al offerings at Monmouth should be similarly enriched but owing to the proximity to the university and the state college it is not necessary that Monmouth develop a distinctive Junior college program.".!. ' Other recommendations and con clusions noted hy the survey Include: "Oregon's program of graduate and research work needs further develop- i ment. ' "The number of students preparing for teaching hos increosed in five : years by 00 per cent while the num- ! ber of teaching proiessions increasea only 10 por cent. It may be expected that private institutions will supply 20 per cent of the demand for high school teachers. In order to reduce indiscriminate recruiting on tne part of Institutions it is recommended the state department of education be provided with' funds to mako a sur vey for demands lor teachers, and control system. v., "Present tendencies of the Mon mouth Normal school to prparo for certain nign scnooi positions biwiu he corrected. '.'The pcoulo of Oregon have in the past not proviopa iur ur tiwvw kind of elementary teaching service that the state needs." More Control Needed Concerning the state department of education the report states the department should exercise oversight of tho work of teacher training and certification. The board now has no control over this situation. Fur ther that tho board be freed from the necessity of political affiliation and partisan by the creotlon of a state board of education with author ity to select and employ a profes sional trained superintend ent of pub lic instruction. That this board be closely related to the state board of hleher education. "It is estimated." the report states, "that 1300 new elementary teachers will be required annually by the schools of Oregon. Various basis of estimate indicate It is probable and reasonable to expect the school at Monmouth to prepare 741 teachers annually, Ashland 384 and La Grands 175. Training School Needed The institution at La Orande should be provided with its own training school at once. The facili ties at Ashland Bhould he improved by important plant additions. The institution at Monmouth should abandon some of its smaller outly ing schoolB and increase the accom modations at its local training centers. "The institution at Corvallis should emphasize its practice work to a greater extent by means of better organization. A campus school is highly desirable. The University High school at Eugene should he modern ized. In its curriculum and should be increased in size. "The extension services offered by the university and the state college are extremely valuable to ' the state and have more than Justified the exnendltures made for their support. The commission does not recommend curtailment of extension work, but Its expansion, and control as to de velop a unified state wide system. "It Is recommended that in the future all catalogues of the five in stitutions be prepared under policies to eliminate competitive arguments for recruiting students. It Is recom mended that institutional recruiting pamphlets be discontinued. "It is further recommended that the athletic publicity men employed by associated students at Eugene and Corvallis be transferred to the news bureau of the respective institutions and paid from state funds. "Evidence ib aounaantaiy avanaoie to indicate that Oregon institutions are receiving large number of stu dents of poor preparation and low college ability. It 1b recommended that rules tot admission oi out-of-state students be uniform. "Tho mortality of lobses of students admitted to both the university and state college are extraordinarily high as compared with these or similar in stitutions throughout the United, States. Part of the low percentage In Oregon is due to poor preparation and low abilities of students onrolled under conditions of hltfh pressure re cruiting. "A larger proportion of the com bined operating cxpenhc of the uni versity und the state college Is being spent upon the mere operation of business machinery than would be required if these two Institution? were under one administration and cue bustcctt management. For this purpose the survey commission rec ommends the creation pf a centralized service organization to perform ad ministrative control. Low Efficiency "SJudy of present use of the build ings , of Oregon's ' higher "institutions tends to show rather low efficiency at Ashland and La Grande. The normal school at Monmouth shows a very law median percentage use of buildings. It is recommended that the state provide approximately 9b op .000. for new construction and tl18 P" Mon mm)th 'The- university does not show a very efficient use of the plant as a whole or of any single building. At Corvallis the median plant usunge as a whole la somewhat higher than at Eugene, but falls considerably short of the proposed standard. .Vlt Is recommended that the uni versity be provided with a llbrarv building whose ultimate cost should I be $500,000, of Which the first unit should' cost approximately $350,000. The university is also in' urgent need ' for modern provision for laboratories tor class space lor lower division work In the sciences, in tho opinion of the survey commission practically the entire plant of the university should be rebuilt by replacing obso lete and flimsy structures by fire proof, well designed buildings. "It is recommended that the in stitution at Corvallis be provided with a biological science building In the immediate future and also that a chemistry building be provided. The commission recommends that student fees be used exclusively for instruction purposes. "Library resources at Ashland and La Orande should considerably in creased. Tho commission also recommended higher grade teachers at all institu tions, syste mof training for staff members during vacation periods, salary schedules increased, and that retiring allowances bo provided. . "Unusually meagre provision has been made for housing students at the Oregon normal schools. Concerning Athletics . "Physical" education programs have been subordinated to lntor-colleglate athletics." The ' commission recom mends a complete reorganization of the present plan of management of intercollegiate athletics. That the present boards of control composed of students, ' alumni and faculty members he abolished. That cbntrol be incorpbratcd In the schools of physical education and administered upon the same basis as are academic major divisions. . "That all coaches be employed in the same manner ns other ntnff ' members and receive no larger com pensation than is provided in the regular salary schedules of tho facul ty. " " "The fraternities and sororities are to be commended for the1 service that they render" the" ihstltutlon'6." Throughout the report the survey commission recommended a number of groups, to be selected from the state board of higher education, the state department of education and 1 Pacific Coast Eiscurr Company t Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, Spokane, Tacoma, San Francisco AOTMER NATURE'S CURIO SHOP PkYfoMWA A -fcOPtCAL TCAO, I AYS (TSSGGS OH A 4F 005r BEFORE A AlrA, SO THAT WSY WILL 6 CARSIBO TO SOMB UrilB TO HATCH. the institutions, for the assistance In thp adjustment of tho program.
