Blue mountains and gazed with rap

future developments may alter the situation greatly.
Of course it is yet too soon to judge the action of the
board ; but it is our hope that the new plan may eventually
work out in a satisfactory manner, and really succeed in
giving us a more efficient system for less money.
Oregon in the past has served at various times as a prov
ing ground for new ideas of a political nature, and it may j
be that now the state is giving birth to an exceptionally meri- j
torious scheme in the realm of education. j
The least we can do, as loyal Oregonians, is to withhold :
criticism, bear with the board, and support the plan in every ;
possible way, until we are certain that it is a failure or a
success.

It is certainly not right that
students should feel all this financial
pressure for athletics which do not
interest them," the committee said.
"There has been great over-emphasis
In all institutions and the costs are
too high. This period of economic
strain should result In some readjust

ARE WE LAZY?
After subscribing to the hypothesis that Germany became
a great industrial and scientific nation because her ieoile
got up an hour earlier in the morning and worked an hour J
later, and after attributing America's present leadership in !
industry, commerce and science to similar reasons, a Dutch
university professor sees in the United States a disposition j
to sleep a little later, to take longer holidays and to see how
much easier a definite task may be accomplished, and finds I
this disposition not to be for the good of the nation in the
long run.
It is true that we cannot safely rest on our oars at this
stage of our national development. There can be no standing
still. Either we move forward or slip back. Rut it is just
as true that we have worked for world leadership in these
things to make it the means to an end, not the end itself.
The ultimate objective has always been a little more surcease
from the labor that enslaves both mind and body.
Perhaps the Dutch professor misunderstands us and our
system. He does not know that when an American factory
cuts two hours off its working day it knows that the shorter
day, because it will increase the efficiency of its labor, will !
not curtail its output. And it is very likely that he is judging !
American !alxr by his slow-moving European worker. , j
At any rate, American workers take exceptions to his
