A businesslike Answer to a businesslike. Question REPRESENTATIVE HIRTY denominations cooperating in the Inter church W orld Movement have budgeted their needs. No business could have done it more scientifi cally. They have united to prevent the possibility of duplica tion or waste.

And, when one tnkes into con sideration the value of the prizes to be awarded, and the extreme ly short time the campaign is in force, they are certainly worthy of any effort they might take to secure. Let’s gol and the Stats Normal have for many years spent letes money per student per year in training Oregon boys and girls than is spent ut any other state institu tion. The present cost at the State University is $203 a year; at the College, it is $180. But even before the war, when money would buy twice as much as it buys now', the average cost at all other state in stitutions was $325 a year.

But in state instituions else where, statistics show the - average to be $995.
