OREGON' WOMAN IS PRESIDENT
Miss Luella Clay Carson Called to
Mills College.
The appointment of Miss Luella Clay
Carson, dean of women and professor
of rhetoric and composition In the Uni
versity of Oregon, to the presidency of
Mills College. California, has added an
other link to the chain wnich holds
this institution very closely to the af
fections of so many homes In Oregon
and has welded more closely the va
ried educational interests of the Pa
cific Coast.
Opened in 1871 at Seminary Park.
Mills Seminary was for years the most
widely known Institution in the West
for the education of women. It was
founded upon a Christian basis, and
had as its object the training 01 young
women for homes. In response to the
demand for a more advanced training
for girls, the board of trustees in 1885
secured from the state a charter in
accordance with which degrees have
been conferred for more than 20 years.
For a long period, unfortunately, the
demand for the advanced training of
women did not warrant the abolish
ing of the seminary, and the college
was overshadowed by the large and
vigorous preparatory department. It
was not until May. 1908, that the board
of trustees, acting on the suggestion
of Mrs. Susan Lincoln Mills, president
and surviving founder of the Institu
tion, decided to abolish gradually the
college preparatory course and to de
velop the college as rapidly as the
means at their disposal permitted.
The development of its opportunities,
however, has enlarged, not materially
altered, the working principle of the
school, entirely untrammeled as It is by
such local necessities as must, by their
very nature, affect the policy long ago
declared, namely, that of developing
Into a college in which the needs of
the modern Western woman s.iall be
the first consideration.
HILL ACADEMY WELL KNOWN
School for Boys lias Pioneer Edu
cator at Head.
The Hill Military Academy is sit
uated on Marshall street, in the midst
of one of the best residence sections
of Portland. It was founded In 1901
by the present principal, Joseph Wood
Hill. A. B-, M. D., who for :3 years
previous to that time nad been lessee
and principal of the Bishop Scott Acad
emy. Dr. Hill, during his career as
an educator in Oregon, has had more
than 2000 pupils under his charge, and
his "boys" may be found in almost
every section of the Northwest and
In many other parts of ..the country,
occupying responsible positions'or en
gaged in professional pursuits, while
his more recent graduates are doing
successful work at more than one lead
ing university.
The academy buildings are practical
ly new, commodious and carefully
planneiV and constructed throughout.
Their internal arrangement is thor
oughly modern and sanitary, adequate
provision has been made for light and
ventilation, and every room is heated
by hot water.
The armory, two stories high, con
tains a drill hall 50 by 100 feet and
the workshop of the manual training
department. The academy may be
reached in 12 minutes by electric cars
from the business center; it therefore
enjoys the benefit of our exceptionally
pure Bull Run water, municipal light
ing and the use of the long distance
and local telephone service; yet is suf
ficiently remote from the heart of the
city to be free from fnfluences that
would distract from study.
The academy .comprises all primary,
preparatory and academic grades and
ffers five educational courses; classi
cal, Latin, scientific. English and, commercial.
SCHOOL IS WELL, SUPPORTED
Portland Academy lias 443 Stu
dents and Large Endowment.
With a total enrollment of 443 during
the past year, Portland Academy, a
Presbyterian institution, is one of the
most thriving institutions in the North
west. The academy is divided into two
departments, the academy proper and
the preparatory school. There were 210
students In the academy, and 233 in the
preparatory classes.
This Institution has well-equipped
buildings, centrally located. It has
been fortunate in receiving the finan
cial support of some of the citys weal
thiest families, maktnir it possible to
offer the best of facilities to Its stu
dents. The school was organized In
1SS9, and was Incorporated In 1892.
Three years later the present beautiful
main building was erected on an entire
double block, donated by the late H.
W. Corbett and the W. M. Ladd estate.
Since then two additional buildings,
besides a thoroughly equipped gym
nasium, have been added.
Merit In scholarship in the Academy
Is rewarded by numerous valuable
prizes, which are open for competition
by all students. The courses given are
thorough, and graduates of the institu
tion. 237 of whom have entered higher
Institutions, have made uniformly good
records. Many of the graduates go
to Eastern colleges, but a large pro
portion also enter the Pacific Coast institutions.
THREE COURSES ARE OFFERED
Christian Brothers' Bnsiness College
Has Enlarged Curriculum.
The Christian Brothers Business Col
lege, situated at Grand avenue and
Clackamas street. Portland, Is an In
stitution comprising three distinct de
partments. It affords training in the
elementary and grammar branches to
young boys. It embraces a high school
course f'r grammar school graduates
and aspirants to university or college
training, and It offers a well-rounded
and practical course for young men
who contemplate entering upon a bus
iness career.
The course In the commercial
branches should prove of special Inter
est to the large and rapidly Increasing
number of boys and young men who
are desirous of acquiring. In the short
est possible time, sufficient instruc
tion in the studies likely to aselst them
In business life. The business course
includes the following branches: Book
keeping, shorthand, typewriting, arith
metic rapid calculation, penmansli
business forms, business practice com
mercial correspondence and English
composition.
The high school department Is of re
rent origin. As the scope of the col
lege was originally planned, no pro
vision was made for a high school
course. The establishment of such a
course, however, has been forced upon
the board of trustees by a delegation
of Portland citizens, who requested that
the Christian Brothers should furnish
educational facilities for students who,
while not requiring a strictly business
training, feel the need of efficient
training preparatory to their entering
upon a univerlsty career.
HOLMES HAS LONG RECORD
Business College Has Completed 23
Successful Years.
With a history of i2 successful years
behind it, the Holmes Business College,
located at Tenth and vVashington

retary course and academlo course.

one of them he shall be in line for
lucrative employment. In fact, the col
lege Itself makes It an object to put
its graduates in good situations.
Care Is also taken by the manage
ment to find good boarding-houses for
its out-of-town students. Pupils are
received at any time, but the faculty
advises those who find It convenient
to register in the Fall to do so. The

room for a modern athletic field.
Pacific is the most largely endowed
Institution in Oregon outside of the
state schools. It was formerly a Con
gregational college, and Is still under
the influences of that denomination,
although the denominational clause In
its charter has been rescinded. The
environment of this school Is excep
tionally good, and Forest Grove is one
of the most beautiful cities In the
state.

as the result of the completion of an
electric line between Forest Grove and
Portland. There are now nine trains
each way on the electric line and five
each way on the Southern Pacific Be

ble alumni occupying positions in Port

meager facilities, to a large and mod
ern Institution for girls, with adequate
equipment and a beautiful building.

essentially a boarding Institution, al
though residents of Portland are also
