form has not yet been announced.
Yesterday at the Portland institu

preparatory course because of the
difficulties presented by that one
subject. They have had no option,
and the old requirements have been
forced upon them, despite the fact
that college entrance ' requirements
have steadily relaxed. The situation
has been that our exactions were
more strict, and our preparatory
course more difficult, than those re
quired by-the colleges. In removing
Latin from the list of compulsory sub
jects we merely have taken a step
that should have been taken some
years ago, while the revised course
conforms in every way to college en
trance requirements."
The preparatory course In local
high schools heretofore has demanded
that the student must study Latin
for three years, together with French
or Spanish for two years, or take a
four-year course In Latin. College
entrance requirements ask only that
the student shall have had three
years of language study, and with
the new term of high school the local
course will correspond. The present
college preparatory course, will be re
tained without alteration as a class
ical course, while a new general
course to meet college entrance re
quirements will be formulated.
Beginning with the fall term the
regular high school course will in
clude onevyear of civics, to comply
with recent legislative action. It

schools yesterday morning. The action
was taken at a regular conrence of

to readjust the local course to the
more lenient college entrance require

Minister of First Church Announces
Texts for Tomorrow and Finds
House First Day in Town.
THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1923
METHODIST PASTOR
HERE FOR NEW TASK
Dr. B. E. Parker, recently assigned
by Blnbop Shepard as pastor of the
First Methodist Episcopal church
here, arrived over the North Bank
railroad at 8 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, was met in typical western style
by the bishop, district superintendent
and others and temporarily domiciled
his family at Alexandra court. Short
ly after noon, however, he and Mrs.
I'arker began what proved to be a
successful search for a house. They
located one at 636 East Eighteenth
street North, and there they will re
main until spring. Meanwhile they
will '"look around" for permanent
quarters.
Dr. I'arker is Just such a man as fits
easily into western life, for he is
pleasant to meet, is enthusiastic about
ths church and its problems and is in
tensely in earnest about the task to
"Which he has been assigned by his
general superintendent. Not given to
forecast what he intends to do in his
new pastorate, he nevertheless chat
ted frankly with reporters -uon his
arrival and, as an indication of his
ability quickly to decide points, oblig
ingly and entirely on the spur of the
moment announced his texts for his
first sermons here tomorrow. In the
morning he will preach on "Lighten
ing the Load," and at night on "The
Kiches of Jesus."
Stay in Went Pleanea.
Although weary from his long jour
ney from Mishawaka, Ind., where he
was pastor for several years, and
after house-hunting for a few hours.
Dr. Parker told of his work there and
1 how happy he and his family are
at having arrived safely in their new
and, he said he felt sure, a most in
teresting field of labor.
"We are happy indeed to be in the
great northwest, concerning which
we have heard so much and which
we have never seen until now," said
Dr. I'arker. "Our reception here has
been wonderful and, while we are
somewhat weary from our trip and
because we left Mishawaka before we
really should and therefore rushed
ourselves considerably, we appreciate
the numerous kindnesses already
shown us and hope to be adjusted to
pur new task within a short time.
"I have well-defined policies con
cerning the work of the church and
these in time will become familiar to
those who attend our house of wor
ship, but I have made it a rule not
to forecast too fully what I expect to
do in a new pastorate. At the outset,
I shall endeavor, so far as possible,
to follow in the footsteps of the pas
tor who preceded me. In a brief
space I hope to have meetings with
each department, learn their situa
tion, what they are doing and what j
their programmes are and then put !
myself fully and energetically at
work In co-operation with thern."
Department)) Are It nil t I'D.
Tr. Parker's tactics at Mishawaka,
which give an insight Into his meth
ods of work, were to build up all of
the departments. The church there
had large congregations morning and
night. It is known throughout the
entire connection for its exceptionally
well-organized Sunday school and its
Kpworth league chapter is famed
likewise, indicating that, whatever
eie he may do, the young people will
receive close attention and encour
agement. "I never feature one department
oer another," was all Dr. i'arker
would say on this point. "There are
p'enty of people for all."
Ho expressed interest in the fact
that Dr. Tlionms Jefferson Villers.
Jiiistor of the First Baptist church of
Detroit, may shnrtly become pastor of
the White temple (First Baptist
church ), diagonally across the street
frotn the Kiit .Methodist church. He
said he h;id heard of Dr. Villers' work
and en id he is regarded as a great
preacher.
Publicity Derlnrrd Help.
Dr. I'arker is a preacher who be
lieves in newspaper publicity to carry
on the work of the church. He be
lieves In letting people know what a
church has to offer, he sam.
Last Christmas eve Dr. I'arker was 1
In Chicago and had a visit with Dr. '
Joshua Stanafield, whom he succeeds j
here. lie said Dr. Stansfield is well
pleased with his pastorate in McCabe
Memorial church there and is doing
well in his new field.
Already Dr. I'arker has preaching
engagements whk-h will take him to
Spokane, Yakima and Seattle and sev
eral datcH for speaking at civic club
meetings here.
The I'arker family consists of Dr.
end Mrs. Parker, Elouise, Carolyn,
Theodore and Mary Elizabeth.
