The Eugene News says: "About the only yardstick avail able for measuring any school's service is by the proportion of its graduates who go out into the field for which their studies are intended to fit them. In the case of the univer sity school of journalism that percentage is about 65 per ' j cent, probably higher than that of any other except the medical school." "Though he be not a graduate of the school, every Oregon newspaper man acquainted with the school and the quality of the young men and women it sends out into the news paper profession and allied and related activities, knows that the school is doing a fine job and a necessary one," the Bend Bulletin comments. "It will be cause for serious pro test if the board, proceeding on the path that Mrs. Pierce seems to point to, should attempt to cut down or hamper the effectiveness of the school." ,.' . .'. . It is believed, when we consider the importance of the school of journalism to the University of Oregon, its service to the press of the state, and its relationship to the forma tion of intelligent opinion on questions of public interest,1 that it would mean a poor piece of economy to uproot the established school of journalism and leave no place in the state of Oregon where professional training in this import-; ant field of work could be obtained.

OUR SCHOOLS OK JOURNALISM ) The recent discovery by the board of higher education that the University of California has no school of journalism has caused extensive comment throughout the state. In the catalogue of the California institution, according to Mrs. Cornelia Marvin Pierce, chairman of the curricula committee, in a recent interview, is a statement that California does not offer any courses whatever in this field for the reason that the foundation of news and other writing is available lo students enrolled in liberal arts. :' ' Tho curricula committee, she adds, will not say how the California position effects its attitude toward the degree courses offered by tho school of journalism at the Univer sity of Oregon and tho courses offered by the industrial journalism department at Oregon State college. Dean James 11. Gilbert, expert economist and dean of the college of liberal arts at the university, recently compiled statistics to show that the school of journalism at the uni versity, which lias attained a wide reputation for its high standards and its excellency of work, involves an expenditure of $21,832. A considerable number of students who are attracted from out of the slate by the reputation of the school of journalism pay, in addition lo regular fees, a non resident tuition feo of $151) per person, bringing the total amount of fees contributed by students to $12,178 or 55.8 per cent of the total cost of the school. This means that the cost of the journalism school to the taxpayer is $0,65-1 or .37 of one per cent of the total amount spent for higher educa tion in Oregon, in spile of tho fact that, as Dean Gilbert, points out, the school educates 2.57 per cent of nil the stu dents in Oregon's higher education system. "Tho university's school of journalism is recognized ns the outstanding newspaper training school on the Pacific coast," tho Albany Democrat-Herald states. "The problem that confronts Oregon today is how it can maintain these out standing departments of its higher educational system at their present standards at the least cost possible. It is not a question of destroying what the stale has built up through years of effort. 'It is one of saving what the state has achieved, and of administering it with the greatest degree ..of economy. A sense of state pride should influence us to .

But It was Ashurst whom Ander son win think of In connection with tho event. Ashurst always has a big time when ho finds himself in a position such as this. Suavo. the acme of politeness and gallantry, tho Arizonan has a way all his own In handling a wit ness. He was in fine form, the moral ug of Anderson's uppvarancc. In Washingtpn P.y Herbert I'lutituier WASHINGTON William. H. An den;on of New York, who came down to Washington to protest the nom ination of Judjre Cardcwo to the su premo court, doubtless will remem ber his experience for a long time hence. A blyr. broad-shouldered senator from ArtiTona by the name of Henry : Fountain Ashurst made sure of that, j Anderson, former superintendent 1 of the anti-saloon league in New York, laid his charges against Car doro before three senators Robin son of Indiana, Schall of Minnesota nnd Ashurst. Friendly Smile Wearing a frock coat, horn rimmed pince-nez poised delicately between two fingers, he sat directly across from Anderson. His manner is such as to completely disarm a witness. Ho listens attentively, apparently completely absorbed In what the witness Is saying. He smiles en couragingly from time to time, nods his head In approval when It ap pears that tho witness has scored a good iMJlnt. It Is. nob very long before the witness becomes convinced that If ho has no other friend In the room he can certainly rely on Ashurst. They found out later, however, as Anderson did. that behind that sun ny Ashurst exterior lies a mailed fist. He tore into Anderson several times during that brief hearing in tho Bcnate . Judiciary committee room in such fashion as to make it long remembered.' Ashurst Stops IHni There was one Instance In par ticular. Anderson in attacking Car doze referred to his father, also a Judge, as being under the Influence of Tammany., while he was on the bench. -i Ashurst- stopped, him In his tracks. . .. "The gentleman is not trying to make us believe that the sins of the father. aro to be found in the son?" - " And before Anderson could say any more, Ashurst struck. "I would remind the gentleman that we will hear all the charges he has to make. But they must be fair ones. We don't hit mtni.r 4i, v.i In tho senate ever. We hit each oth er frequently and hard, but never below the belt." The manner in which he said that was the thing, it must have struck Anderson with telling effect. He attempted Vnn explanation, but it didn't seem quite to get across. Ho finished soon after that.
