DK. KKltlt'S WORK WELL DONE
The news columns of the .state press this week not only
curried on announcement by Dr. W. J. KeiT, chancellor of
the 'Oregon state system of hifiher etlueation, that he would
retire as soon as a successor were found, but editorially com
mented at lenjrth on Dr. Kerr's excellent work and speculated
as to whom his position would fall.
The former -Oivjron State college president assumed the
role of chancellor in SeptenilH-r, 19:12 only witli a view to
getting the now unification system inaugurated and run
ning smoothly. He was ready to retire two years ago, but
stayed in the hoe of rendering a final service to the state
he has served so long and so well. And Dr. Kerr ncooni
plished much. In the last year and a half of his chancellor
ship, great -progress was made in the unification of the five
state institutions of higher learning. Occasional situations
have developed at times that perhaps weiv not conductive
to the best interest ot the state but these apparently
were aimed at Dr. Kerr more on personal grounds than on
anything connected with his policies.
All in all. Dr. Kerr's work has been well done. The five
institutions are functioning nicely at present, each compet
ently staffed and with a responsible president at the head
of each institution.
Most of the greatest difficulties, principally in the past
recent years, unquestionably have been faced and sur
mounted. At each institution is a story of accomplishment,
and the Normal school here is a glowing example of progress
made much of it due to ixilicies invoked by the state board
and Dr. Kerr, and much of it due to the excellent work here
of President 11. E. Inlow. It is the same elsewhere. The
University, the State college, the normal schools at Mon
mouth and Ashland are steadily going ahead.
True and admittedly, though there is and perhaps always
' will be room fur improvement, particularly to nike the facil
ities of higher learning more available to all who desire them,
s it not possible at this time with the foundation laid by
' Dr. Kerr, to gain a continued forward movement in our
schools and colleges through coordinate effort of individual
school executives and the higher board? Such eliminating
for the time being of the position of chancellor might bring
about a better harmony and understanding, and these have
. been difficult tasks to conquer in previous years. It is not
, unreasonable to think that Dr. Kerr's splendid machinery will
go right on running with his retirement, and without a new
nuui at the helm. It's worth giving much thought to, par
ticularly in view of the savings to he taxpayers such a move
would bring.

! The Garden !
ALL AHOI T THE RADISH
The most popular small garden
vegetable is undoubtedly lie radish.
This Is so, perhaps, because of its
tart freshness that epitomizes the
spirit of early spring, and it Is so
because this hardy little relish can
be planted as soon as the ground is
workable, and harvested, three weeks
later. I til
Plant the radish in the full sun
on a plot of ground! of light and rich
texture with not too great a content
of nitrogen. The olive and globe
shaped varieties ar0 the earliest. A
good thing to remember with the
earlier varieties Is that the later they
are picked the more pithy and strong
they will be puli and eat them aa
soon as they mature.
The general rule is that the lonper
they take to mature, the hotter the
flavor; they also take on an oblong
shape like the carrot. Most of the
summer varieties are like this, among
them being Stmssburg and Chartler.
Icicle is an exception among the sum
mer varieties, and is rather mild.
This question of mildness has been
the problem of seedmen In develop
ing new varieties, and it has been met
by shortening the season. The early
globe type is noted for Its mildness,
and with a succession of plantings
every week in the spring, a continu
ous crop may be had. They cannot
be grown on into the summer.
Radishes used as table decorations
may be grown in red, yellow or white
colors and are very effective for this
purpose. The fall varieties should not
be neglected, for they will supply a
quantity of huge, mild edibles far in- ,
to the winter season.
A common fault in planting radi
shes is to sow them too thickly. The
best results will be obtained by thin
ning them to 2 Inches apart in the
row. This crowding is especially det
rimental where the earliest crop is de
sired. Plants should be thinned out
as soon as they appear above the
surface. With the larger varieties. 6
inches of space is needed. Remember.
they .are one of the first spring vege
tables, and can be sown as soon as
