ing excellent work.
Throughout its entire career. Pacific has
been known for the' thoroughness of its
courses and its students and graduates
are fully accredited by all of the large
Kastern schools. Although the enroll
ment is comparatively not large, the line
record of the school has given it stand
ing much higher than that based simply
on attendance.
Forest Grove is only 26 miles from
Portland and frequent train service
makes it very convenient to this city. An
electric line is now under construction
and It is expected that on its completion
the number of Portland students attend
ing Pacific will be larsvly Increased. The
campus at Paeitic is one of the most beau
tiful in tho state. The institution has a
library of 14.0a volumes, a productive

As Women's School,' Mills Rears Dis
tinction on Coast.
Mills College, of San Francisco, bears
the cifstim-tion of being the only char
tered college for women in the United
States, west of the Rocky Mountains. Its
charter was granted by the same legisla
tive act as that of Stanford and the
school offers the same course as Fryn
Mwr, Mount Holyoko. Smith or Welle
sley. In the very near future, if the pres
ent endowment movement is fully suc
cessful, it will be rated as one oU the
greatest women's colleges In the country.
In order to extend Us influence to the
fullest extent. Mills has been made a

door life is at its best and health and
physical culture are made one of the
features of the range of study. After the
concentration and thorough mental appli
cation, many healthful games and exer
cises are provided on the campus. There
is no spot on earth where there is a
greater number of perfect days and. glori
ous nights than at Seminary Park, where
the institution Is located.
Mills College was named after the
founder,. Rev. Cyrus T. Mills, D. D., and
after his wife. It is today a school that
should be a source of pride to all citi
zens of the Pacific Coast.
QUAKER SCHOOL AT XEWBERG
Pacific College Has Ideal Location
for Quiet Work.
With few exceptions the Friends, or
Quakers, as they are better known, have
been perhaps more active In the educa
tional history of the country than any
other denomination, numbers considered.
In Oregon the Friends have under their
auspices Pacific College, located at New
berg. Among the Friends' - colleges
throughout the country are Bryn Mawr
and Haverford in Pennsylvania; Guilford
in North Carolina; Earlham In Indiana,
and Penn In Iowa. It is the object of the
management of Pacific College to have it
rank with these well-known schools.
- Pacific Academy was founded by a small
group of Friends in 1S85. Seven years later
it was advanced to college grade. Al
though under the management of Friends,
the institution is thoroughly non-sectarian
In spirit.
The institution is located on a tract of
23 acres. The athletic ground is one of
the best In the state, furnishing ample
room for all outdoor sports. The gym
nasium furnishes a fine floor for basket
ball and other indoor sports. A board
ing hall affords ample accommodations
for young people away from home. New
berg is one of the best college towns in
the Northwest- There are no saloons and
nine churches, with a population of 2300.
It is on the Willamette River, half-way
between Portland and Saiem.
The college offers four years of work
in the following departments: Philosophy,
history, Greek, Latin, English, German,
romance language, biology, chemistry,
physics, geology, public speaking and
music. The students hold an enviable rec
ord in intercollegiate oratory. Pacific Col
lege has won first place four times and
second place three times, out of 16 state
contests.
The ecademy department offers a good
four-year course under competent in
structors. The students obtain a high
school education in the atmosphere of col
lege, with all the advantages of library,
gymnasium and) athletic field.
COLLEGE W ITH BRIGHT FUTURE
Plans for Columbia University Laid
Alone Broad Lines.
Columbia University, at Portland, is a
Catholic institution, for which large plans
have been laid by its founders, it is the
only institution of collegiate standing In.
the Oregon metropolis and while its en
rollment Is not as yet sufficiently large
for it to be classed as one of the big col
leges, it is the intention of the man
agement that it shall some day become
the Notre Dame of the West, and ex
tensions are constantly being made with
this end In view.
The site of Columbia University is on
the banks of the Willamette, a few miles
south of the city, and the location is one
of remarkable natural beauty. The main
building is a large brick and stone struc
ture that affords adequate space for every
need of the institution. The grounds
overlook the river from a high elevation
and are far enough from the center of
the city to afford opportunity for quiet
work. Streetcar service with the city per
mits the students to have all the ad
vantages of the metropolis and at the
same time gives 'access to the institution
for many day students who reside in
Portland. The attendance is limited to
young men.
Columbia has the distinction of pos
sessing the largest gymnasium in the
West. This building has an earth floor
and is so large that baseball and track
athletics can be accommodated. This
is a distinct advantage, as it gives fa
cilities for the practice of these sports
the year around, instead of confining
them to pleasant weather. An annual
field meet, held under the auspices of
the University in this gymnasium, has
come to be regarded as one of the prin
cipal sporting events among the col
leges. All of the large schools and" ath
letic clubs of the state send teams to
compete In these meets and interest is
always high. Gold and silver medals are
given to the winners in each event and
sports for children -of Portland's public
echools are provided as well as the games
for the older athletes.
STROXG COURSE IX TEACHIXG
Washington State Normal at Ellens
burg Well Equipped.
The Washington State Normal School
at Kllensburg has earned a reputation
for thoroughness of training, for healtli
fulness and happiness as a place of resi
dence for student -workersp, and for care
in the bestowal of diplomas and certifi
cates. It is not a large school, nor does it
Btrlve for a large student body, but it
welcomes capable and earnest young men
and women who aspire to become effi
cient teachers. All who enter are given
a good chance to learn the art of teach
ing. The new training school building to be
opened September 2. will afford the long
desired facilities for adequate practical
study of school work.' There will be
rooms maintained for observing kinder
garten and primary grades well con
ducted, and systematic study of this work
is to be the first step in the study of
teaching.
The faculty of the school consists of
six men and ten women, each chosen on
account of special fitness for the work
of his department in a normal school.
Principal Wilson, a Pennsylvanian by
birth, with Western experience, came to
Ellepsburg 10 years ago from a six-year
term of service as principal of the Rhode
Ieland Normal School at Providence.
The graduates from the advanced and
complete courses number 315. The di
plomas held by these graduates author
ised the holders to teach in any public
school of the State of Washington for
five years, and after two years of suc
cessful work they have become life di
plomas. IDAHO'S 1G STATE SCHOOL
University Has Fine Buildings and
Grent Land Endowment.
The University of Idaho, with which

on the- officer rolls of the Army and
Navy and in the National Congress.
The landed endowment of the Uni
versity consists of ES6.000 acres in all. The
value of this land would be hard to es
timate exactly, but the minimum valua
tion at which it can be sold is $10 per
acre, at which rate the total would ap
proximate $3,000,000. The actual value is of
course far above this figure. ,
The value of the buildings of the Uni
versity campus as computed in' the an
nual report to the National Bureau of
IJlucation is now $207,500. The value of
scientific apparatus, machinery and fur

receives boys and girls at an early age
and fits them for the academy; the aca
demy receives boys and girls who have
completed the preparatory course or a
course of like gratle.
The primary purpose of the .academy is
to fit for college: in accordance with this
aim, college requirements have been made

fered. These courses have been so or
ganized as to furnish generous culture
and thorough training for those who do
not intend to enter college.

girls at 191 Eleventh street. The hall
has accommodations for not" more than
20 girls, is complete in all its arrange

Offered by Van Deo Xaillen School
of Engineering.
Among the technical institutions of the
Pacific Coast, one of the best is the
Van der Naillen School of Engineering,
located at San Francisco. This school
has been esta-blished for more than 30
years and during all of that time its high
standing has been recognized. At the
close of the last school, 7 young men
were graduated from its courses. In this
class ewere numbered young men from
each of the Pacific Coast states and from
Alaska.
That the enrollment at this institution
is constantly increasing is & sign that
young men of the Coast realize they can
obtain the best of facilities for a tech
nical education without going to an East
ern school. The progress of mining and
the extension of railroads in the West
have called for large numbers of men
with a technical training. The demand
has exceeded the supply and many firms
have been compelled to send East for
engineers. Residents of the West, how
ever, appear to be realizing the oppor
tunities open In this profession and here
after the attendance at the Coast tech
nichal schools promises to grow steadily.

NATURAL CORNER ENDED
Impending New Oat Crop Causes
Sudden Drop in Price.
CHICAGO, July 23. A "natural cor
ner" in oats canTe to a sudden end to
day when the price of July 'delivery
dropped 6c per bushel on the Board of
Trade here. The severe slump caused .
little excitement, however, owing to the
fact that trade in that option had- been
very small for some time past because
of the congested condition of the mar
ket. The likelihood that the movement of
the new crop will begin on a liberal
scale within the next few days was
chiefly responsible tor the decline. The .
price at the opening was 56 and ;
shortly before the close It had touched ,
604. Final quotations were at .61'
cents.
