STATES OF NORTHWEST LIBERAL
IN SUPPORT OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Universities and Agricultural Colleges of Exceptional Merit Are Main
tained in States of Oregon, Washington and Idaho.
LIBERAL provision -has been made by
the States of Oregon, Washington
and Idaho for the public education
of their youth. Not only have grammar
and high schools been organized which
would do credit to much older states, but
the advanced schools rank with the best
In the United States. These schools are
liberally supported by legislative appro
priations and revenue from land formerly
set aside for this purpose. That they re
ceive public Indorsement Is evident from
the large registration and the willingness
with which income from taxes is turned
over to their support.
Oregon Agricultural College is the old
est public institution in this state and
has the largest attendance of any school
In Oregon. It has an excellent location
at Corvallls and Its growth has been
phenomenal. In buildings and equipment
this school surpasses all others In Ore
gon and Its faculty is large and com
petent. It is broader than the name indi
cates, as courses In literature, music and
many other departments are given in ad
dition to the best of scientific and tech
nical training.
The University of Oregon stands high
among the state universities of the
country. Its courses of study are thor
ough and the school has always held a
prominent place in athletics and other
lines of student activity. Its equipment
is all that could be desired and the lo
cation ideal.
Oregon also maintains normal schools
at Monmouth, Ashland and Weston.
State support has been withdrawn from
a fourth normal school at Drain and it
will be conducted as a private Institu
tion. The University of Washington, main
tained by that state at Seattle, Is one
of the great universities of the West. In
attendance It bids fair soon to equal the
larger Institutions of the East. The
Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, to be
held next year at Seattle, is a boon to
this institution as three permanent build
bulldlngs are to be erected for the fair
which will become the permanent prop
erty of the university. The Washington
State College is located at Pullman and
normal schools of high standing are locat
ed at Bellingham and EUensburg.
In Idaho the university and agricultural
college are combined in one institution,
the University of Idaho at Moscow. This
school, situated in the rich Inland Empire,
has a broad field to draw from, and sur
passes in Importance all other educational
Institutions in Idaho. The school has a
landed endowment of great value.
In athletics and other branches of Inter
collegiate rivalry, the state Institutions
of Oregon, Washington and Idaho stand
high. The Oregon Agricultural College
last year won the football championship
of the Pacific Coast by defeating the
California champions and besting Its
rivals In the Northwest. In addition to
other sports, the University of Washing
ton trains crews for boat races each year,
being located on Iake Washington, which
affords exceptional advantages for this
popular sport.
The attendance at tha state institutions
Is Increasing more rapidly than at the
private Institutions and in each of tua
three states mentioned the public colleges
lead In point of registration. This, of
course, is due In part to the fact that
no tuition Is charged at the state schools.
STATE SCHOOIi AT El'GEXE
University of Oregon Heads the Pub
lic School System. .
With a constantly Increasing attend
ance and a curriculum that has been care
fully selected, the University of Oregon
at Eugene is fulfilling its mission as- the
highest lnstlution of the public school
system In this state. Although compara
tively one of the younger schools of the
state, having been founded In 1876, it has
a very important place In the educational
life of Oregon. That it is recognized as
doing a valuable work for the state at
large was shown when, at the election in
June, the voters of Oregon sustained a
. large legislative appropriation on which
the referendum had been called.
The original building. Deady Hall, was
erected by the citizens of Lane County
nnd presented to the Board of Regents.
The courses of instruction were at first

limited practically to literary lines. The
university grew rapidly, however, and the
demand for a broader curriculum was met
by the addition of engineering, scientific
and technical courses. The law school
was established in 18S4 and the medical
school in 1887. These two branches of the
university are conducted In Portland.
When the university first opened Its
doors, the work of the different courses
was practically all required. After a few
years options were allowed, and Anally,
three years ago, the regents adopted a
free elective system, with a major re
quirement not to exceed one-third of the
120 semester hours necessary for gradua
tion. Eugene, located 123 miles south of
Portland, is an ideal university city.
The university buildings are situated
on an attractive campus and student
life is very pleasant. The main build
ing, Villard Hall, was named in honor
of the greatest donor to the university,
Henry Villard, who in 1883 presented
J6O.O0O as a general endowment Mc1
Clure Hall, devoted to the departments
of chemistry and mining, has three
floors with laboratory facilities for 200
students. Mechanical Hall contains the
general heating plant of the university
and the departments of civil and elec
trical engineering. There are also
dormitories for men and women, a li
brary and a gymnasium.
The athletic teams of the university
rank high and the best of coaches are
employed to direct work along this
line. Forenslcs also are given a prom
inent place In student life. The school.
Is a member of the State Oratorical
Association, Including eight of the
leading colleges, and of a league com
prising the State Universities of Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho." The same
schools conduct a debating league.
PRACTICAL TRAINING FOR LIFE
Portland Business College Fits Stu
dents for Commercial Career.
Opportunity to acquire a practical
commercial education under the best
of instructors is offered by the Port
land Business College. This college
has been established for years and
always has a large attendance of
young men and young women. E. P.
Armstrong, the principal, has as
sembled a faculty that represents the
most modern and desirable methods
of business Instruction.
The graduates of the Portland Busi
ness College are recognized every
where as competent in the lines for
which they have fitted themselves at
the school and employment is always
open for them. No unnecessary time
Is wasted in the courses but care . Is
taken to make the instruction thorough
so that the student on leaving the
school shall be permanently fftlclant
and ready to take up successfully an
active career in the business world.
WHEN the young man or young
woman is determining what school
he shall select for his preparatory
or collegiate course, one of the first points
that he Investigates . Is the character of
the undergraduate life. Opportunity for
social, athletic and other activities is
usually regarded as close in Importance to
the main mission of gaining an education.
In the freedom, democracy and healthful
spirit of the student activities, the
schools of the Pacific Coast will bear
comparison with those of the East and,
indeed, have many points to recommend
them in preference to the institutions in
the more thickly populated states.
Progress of athletics In schools of the
Pacific Coast has been rapid and the var
lous Intercollegiate sport are perhaps
more free from professionalism and other
taint than In any other section of the
United States. Not only this, but In
football and track athletics, the chief
branches of college sport, teams of the
Far West are fast coming to he of as high
standard as those in the older colleges
and universities. Borne of the best ath
letes of the United States are being de
veloped In the Institutions of Oregon,
Washington and California. As evidence
of this it might be mentioned that world's
records In three of the'prlncipal track and
field events are' held by Oregon men.
These records are in the high hurdles,
pole vault and 100-yard dash, held, re
spectively, by Smlthson. formerly of the
Oregon Agricultural College; Gilbert,
formerly of Pacific University, and Kelly,
formerly of the University of Oregon. All
of these men are members of the Ameri
can team now abroad.
Athletics have been more closely organ
ized in the Pacific Northwest during the
past year by the formation of a league,
composed of six of the largest Institu
tions. These schools are: Oregon Agri
cultural College, University of Oregon,
University of Washington, Washington
State College, Whitman College and the
University of Idaho. This league has
adopted a set of rules that stand for the
highest class of amateur athletics and
which will probably be adhered to by
several colleges outside of the league, as
weU as those within It, as the spirit of
these regulations has prevailed at all
times. Besides football and track ath
letics, baseball and basketbaJl have their
followers In nearly all of the colleges,
academies and high schools, while gym
nasium work In many cases Is compulsory
and In practically all Instances is avail
able. Although athletics is given promi
nence in nearly all of the schools of the
Coast, it is not alowed to interfere with
studies, and In this respect many of the
Eastern schools are at. fault.
Debating and oratory, as Intercollegiate
events, have been given prominent places
on the Coast. A successful triangular
debating league has for its members the
State Universities of Washington, Idaho
and Oregon, and a similar organization is
maintained by Pacific University, Wil
lamette University and Whitman College.
An Oregon debating league is also con
ducted by Oregon Agricultural College,
McMinnville College, Dallas College and
Albany College. An annual oratorical
