NEW TORK, Sept. 16. A course in
management education" to provide .a
ufficient number of properly trained
xecutives for the industries of the
United States will be established in a
majority of the 620 American colleges,
according to "an announcement made
to the Associated Press here today by
Ir. Hollis trodfrey. president of the
Drexel institute. Philadelphia, for
merly commissioner of the advisory
commission of the council of national
defense.
The plan, an outgrowth of a con
Tention attended by representatives
of industry and colleges in Philadel
phia last March, is baeked by corpor
ations representing: a capitalization
of $26,000,000,000. It Is the result.
Dr. Godfrey said, of these two faotors
coming to a definite working agree
ment for the first time through the
establishment of the council of man
agement education, an organization
formed "to study mutual problems in
order that the colleges may render
the greatest possible service to in
dustry." Plan Being Perfected.
Dr. Godfrey, chairman of the new
body, assisted by Vr. Samuel P..Capen,
general director of the American
council on education, representing the
620 colleges; and DK Frederick C.
Ferry, president of Hamilton college,
are perfecting the pian which contem
plates establishing practical courses
in the schools, assisting undergrad
nates and others to choose their life's
work, by placing several thousand
students and teachers in Industry dur.
ing the summer months and by intro
ducing extension courses for men now
in Industry. By the summer work,
students will be enabled to defray
their expenses at college, obtain !
Insight Into American, industry and
enable the executives to select fu
ture management men.
The council of management educa
tion, which has been formed, it was
said, to become "a clearing house for
all industrial and educational matters
In the country, to promote the mutual
understanding of the mutual problems
of Industry and the college and to
keep perpetual inventory of the edu
cational needs of industry and of the
ability of the colleges to meet these
needs," has opened temporary offices
In the Drexel building, Philadelphia,
until headquarters are furnished in
Washlngtoi
Annual ApproprlflttoAt Made.
An annual appropriation of $100,600,
entirely borne by American industry,
has been made to carry on its work.
All of the courses and scholastic
recommendations, it was said, will be
passed upon jointly by the council of
management of education and the
American council on education be
fore being forwarded to the institu
tions of learning. "Within one year.
it is estimated, 100 colleges will have
included the extension Industria
courses and all will be provided with
the industrial material upon which
to base undergraduate work.""
The council, according to Lr. God
frey, is the only war organization
which has carried operations Into
time of peace. Nearly all of the edu
cators back of the movement served
In the Council of National Defense.
When the armistice was signed rhese
men decided that the educational
knowledge gained during the war at
an expenditure of millions of dollars
should not be lost. Accordingly
plans were set in motion to turn this
information over to Industry. A sur
vey of the needs of industry was made
under the auspices of the Technology
Clubs Associated of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology.

The culling was done by A. S. Weiant,

DOCTOR SHOOTS RAPIDS
Party of Portland Physicians Back
From Excursion.
A party of Portland physicians re
turned Saturday after a montfi passed
in the wilds of Montana and northern
loano. xne main leature of the ex
cursion was provided when they took
i flat bottom boat and shot the rapids

The group was composed -of Dr.
Mble Wiley Jones. Dr. Thomas Jovce.

Arthur Chance. They went by auto
mobile into the Bitter Root- mountain
country by way of Darby and crossed
the continental divide. -They then leit

the trip on the water. Fishing and

for many years. There has been talk
or cnanging tne ounty seat lor sev
eral years, but not until now has it
taken concrete form, and a two-thirds
vote of the registered voters of the
county Is necessary to make the
change. When the railroad was built
through the Rogue River valley the
original survey was through Jackson?
ville, but owing to a controversy that
developed regarding right of way and
involving what was equivalent to a
bonus, the company finally located Its
line at tha other side of the valley
and the town was left several miles
off the railroad. It was later linked
with a short lone from Medford, the
traffic of which has In recent years
been diverted to automobiles and
trucks.
Medford Houses Short.
"Medford is -experiencing a serious
situation in the. shortage of houses
for the influx of population that has
set," said Mr; Frobach. -"Crop condi
tions have been splendid the last three
years and while, there was a period
during the war In which because of
lack of local industries many persons
left to participate in shipbuilding and
other activities elsewhere, -the present
population is much greater than ever
before. The banks have larger de
posits than at any previous time in
their history.
The. Brownies timber interests.
with holdings of timber trajts on the
west side of the Cascade mountains,
are. starting the construction of a
large sawmill that is probably the
biggest thing in store in an industrial
way for the immediate future. The
comprfny has three mills- In Missis-
ppi that are bei&g" dismantled and
the machinery shipped to Medford.
Within four months they Will start
operating a mill with a capacity for
IdO.OOO feet a day; This development
was made possible by the sale of the
Pacific & Eastern railroad to the Olds
company of Cheboygan, Mich., which
assures the continued operation of
the line and opening of the large tim
ber tracts of the adjacent territory.
Irrigation Development il nder "Way.
. "We also have in progress an irri
gation development that involves an
expenditure of $1, 250,000. It is an ex
tension of the Rogue River canaj and
II bring water to about 11,000 acres
of orchard and alfalfa land, much of
which is adapted to small fruit and
all of it capable of intensive produc
tion.
''This is an off year for the annle
crdp. but the community will ship
about 250 cars of the fruit. Pear
shipments of the year were about 700
cars,- not quite so many carloads as
last year but returning more money
to the growers because of higher
prices. Bartlett pears sold at Hi a
ton In 1919 and this year brought
prices ranging from S5 to $110 a ton.
Alfalfa hay has been shipped to Cali-
fornia. The valley is again coming
back to'a considerable yield of grain.
Diversified production is makinc
the prosperity of the valley felt gen
erally, and there is more variety than
ever before in the market crops.
Dairying is developing well, "... with
many herds of high grade . cattle.
Medford boasts the best farm bureau

The Norwegian-Danish Methodist
conference closed its session yester
day. Bishop W. O. iJhepard delivered
the sermon at yesterday morning's
services, at the First-.. Norwegian-
Danish church.
His Subject was "The New Life In
Christ." "The. great need of the world
is a new life," he said. "The life
of the woVld wears out as does fhat
of the individual and there is need of
a new - birth, a regeneration. The
philosophies and dogmas of one geti
eratlon will not answer or be suffi
cient .for another. Neither will the
faiths of one decade do for another.
There must constantly be events
which register the advancement of
spiritual processes.
"Only as there is a new life given
are we sufficient for our spiritual
problems, the battles against sin. No
man is sufficient unto himself, and
he is in need of constant reinforce
ment from the spiritual realm."
Bishop Shepard made the fallowing
appointments at yesterday s sess'on
