CAUSE OF EDUCATION HAS HAD
SPLENDID PROGRESS ON COAST
Great Institutions of Present Day, Among Best in Country, Had Small
Beginnings in Early Pioneer Life.
HARDLY had the first pioneers made
homes for themselves In the Oregon-
country than they began plan
ning to give their children something of
the educational advantages to which the
parents had been accustomed in the
East. Small schools soon sprang up where
several families had settled near to
gether, and where this was Impossible,
the parents themselves became teachers
within the home. But the pioneers
caught some glimpse of the future of
the country they had chOBOn and began
laying plans for schools that should
teach more than the elementary
branches. Academies' were soon started
out ot which have grown the splendid
Institutions of today.
Willamette University at Salem is
the oldest school In the Pacific North
west. It was' first established as a
mission school for the Indians in 1835,
' by Jason Lee, a Methodist missionary.
In 1842 the school was moved from Its
first location on the Willamette to
Salem, where It became known as Ore
gon Institute, and six years later was
Incorporated under Its present name.
Pacific University at Forest Grove,
ranks as the second oldest college In
the Northwest. It was founded as an
academy In 1847 by Tabitha Brown and
the following year was chartered by
the state through the efforts of Rev.
George H. Atkinson and Rev. Harvey
Clark. The next Institution, McMinn
vllle College, was organized by the
Baptists in 1865. The first' Catholic
school In Oregon was St. Mary's Aca
demy, founded in 1859.
Soon after this the need of a stafe
school became recognized and the Ore
gon Agricultural College was founded.
For Its support Congress in 1862, ap
propriated 90,000 .acres of land on con-'
dltion that the school should be in
operation by 1867. A denominations?
school of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, at Corvallls, was
charged with the management of (he
new college, which grew rapidly to a
great Institution.
The University of Oregon, at Eugene,
was organized about 1870, with J. W.
Johnson, a Tale man, the first presi
dent. Advanced education was taken up In
Washington later than In Oregon. The
first higher school to be founded In
that state was the present University
of Washington, at Seattle, which waa
organized in 1867, as the Territorial
University. Whitman College, at Walla
Walla, was founded by the Congrega
tionalists two years later.
At first the history of these early In
stitutions in the Northwest was a rec
ord of constant work and effort to
overcome the many obstacles and hard
ships Incident to the establishment of
schools in a wild and sparcely settled
country. . But the men behind the va
rious academies and colleges were men
of determination, and progress, though
slaw, was steady.
How great the advancement of edu
cational facilities has been these latter
years can tie realized by anyone familiar
with the present situation. Modern meth
ods and thorough courses prevail and
young people are more and more com
ing to realize that nothing is to be
gained by leaving their home schools
to attend those of the East.
WILLAMETTE SHOWS GAINS
Methodist School Will Soon Have
line Building.
Willamette University, at Salem, under
the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, is experiencing the most prosper
ous period of its existence. Not only has
the registration been Increasing rapidly,
but the equipment of the school Is also
being added to. Under the direction of
Fletcher Homan, the new president, the
next school year Is expected to be a rec
ord one.
Construction is soon to begin on Eaton
Hall, which, when completed, will become
the main building of the institution. It
will be of brick nd stone and will cost
J5U.000. The money for this much-needed
building was donated by A. E. Eaton, of
Union.
Willamette is the oldest educational in
stitution in the state, having grown out of
a school founded among the Indians by
Jason Lee, an early Methodist mission
ary. The campus lies in the center of
Salem and Is one of the chief attractions.

MANY PRIVATE SCHOOLS WITH
WIDE RANGE IN THEIR COURSES
All Leading Denominations Conduct Institutions on Pacific Coast,
Including Colleges, Academies, Technical and Business Schools.
nvi SIDE from the public educational
J system that has been provided
' - by the several states on the Pa
cific Coast, there is no lack of facilities
for those who prefer private institu
tions. The range of private Institu
tions Is very wide. Including primary
and preparatory schools and colleges,
as well as business and technical
.schools. Many of the institutions are
co-educatlonal, but there are others ex
clusively tor men and for women.
A large proportion of the private
schools are conducted by the various
denominations, and those who desire
an institution where church influences
prevail will find nearly all leading de
nominations represented. The Cath
olics have perhaps more schools than
any other sect. Besides the numerous
parochial schools, they conduct both
academics and colleges. Columbia
University in Fortland. and Mount
Angel College, at Mount Angel, are
among the advanced schools for boys.
Other Catholic schools In Portland are
St. Mary's Academy and College for
girls, and the Christian Brothers' Busl.
ness College, which is to open In new
quarters this year.
Throughout Oregon there are numer
ous denominational schools. Among
these are the following: - Pacific Uni
versity, Forest Grove, under control
of the Congregationalists, although not
strictly a denominational school; Wil
lamette University, at Salem. Methodist,
and Pacific College, Newberg, Friends.
In Portland there are several prepara
tory schools of high standing, includ--ing
Portland Academy, a Presbyterian
Institution, and Hill Military Academy,
under private auopices. Vashon Col
lege, at Burton, Wash., Is another mil
itary school of advanced standing which
bears an enviable reputation.
Few private schools for girls have- yet
been established on the Pacific Coast,
but those that are here rank with the best
institutions in the East. Among the most
prominent of these is Mills College, of
Berkeley, Cal., the only chartered school
for women In the West; Miss Parker's
School, Pelo Alto, Cal., and Irving In
stitute and California Conservatory, of
San Francisco. San Francisco also has
an excellent technical college In the Van
Der Nalllen School of Engineering. The
Berkeley Business College Is another lead
ing California institution In Its particular
"line, while prominent among the local
commercial schools Is the Portland Busi
ness College.
In many ways the private schools of
Oregon, Washington and California offer
advantages that cannot be duplicated
elsewhere. In their faculties these In
stitutions have attracted many of the
most competent educators of the country
men who have the spirit of optimism
and progress characteristic of the West.
As the attendance at these institutions
is comparatively small, students are
brought into direct contact with the fac
ulty. In most Instances these institutions
also have the best of equipment.
In their social life the Western schools
are particularly free from undesirable in
fluences. Most of the institutions are in
cities of small population and those lo
cated In larger places have a community
life of their own that is most pleasant.
Fraternities, which have drawn factional
lines so distinctly in Eastern colleges,
are not numerous in the West. In schools
where fraternities have been formed on
the Pacific Coast, the organizations have
not taken up the features that have
brought them into disfavor in the East.
The broad democracy of the West is to
be found in the schools perhaps more
than elsewhere.

SCHOOL MAKES RAPID STRIDES
Oregon Agricultural College Is Ideal
State Institution.
Oregon Agricultural College, at Corval
lls. the leading state institution, has had
a remarkable growth. Founded in the
early 60s, this school has always taken
an Important place in the educational
history of Oregon, but at no other time
has its Influence been so great or Its
progress so rapid as during the past few
years. Last year the college had an en
rollment of 1156. a gain of 40 per cent
over any previous year, and It Is confi
dently expected that at least 1300 stu
dents will register next Fall.
In accordance with the policy of im
provement that has always characterized
the management of the Oregon Agricul
tural College, the standard of the insti
tution has just been advanced one year,
Increasing the requirements for admis
sion to the freshman class to two years
of high school work. This will strength
en the degree courses in many ways,
and enable students to carry the work
In which they are specializing much fur
ther than has hitherto been possible. At
the same time the advantages of the In
stitution will not thereby be further re
moved from the people in need of the
training it affords. For persons who de
sire work relating directly to their voca
tions, but who are not able to pursue an
advanced college course, elementary in
dustrial courses have been established
in agriculture, mechanic arts, forestry,
commerce and domestic science and art.
Students may be admitted to these
courses from the eighth grade of the
public schools, providing they live in
parts of the state where no provision Is
made In the high schools for industrial
work.
The general government of the college
is vested primarily in the board of re
gents, which consists of 13 members.
Under this board are four subordinate
administrative bodies, the administrative
council, college council, college faculty
And experiment station staff. The college
endeavors to provide a liberal, thorough
and practical education. While the in
dustrial or technical work is emphasized,
the Importance of a thorough general
training, of mind development and cul
ture, is recognized In all the work
throughout the institution.
The work therefore covers a broad
field. Including technical courses along
the different lines of agriculture and for
estry, commerce, pharmacy, engineering
and household technology; with the nec
essary training in the basic subjects of
mathematics and the natural and physi
cal sciences, and also the general train
ing in language, literature, history and
civics.
School Book Depository.
The J. K. Gill Company, Third and
Alder streets, Is the general depository
for supply of all text books used in
the schools of Oregon and Washington.
A large space In the second story of
their store is devoted to this depart
ment, where all educational and medi
cal books are handled. You are cor
dially invited to inspect their stock.
