v vi ir
West young man." was the his
I torlcally famous advice of Horace
Greeley to the young man of 50
years ago, who, just leaving college
perhaps, was looking about him for a
Suitable new world to conquer.
The same advice might today be
paraphrased and given to the young
man In any part of the United States
who. Just leaving the grammar schools
la looking about him for ths most ad
vantageous place In which to secure
his preparatory, collegiate or technical
education.
More exactly, still, the advice might
fee worded. "Go to Oregon, young man,"
nd an additional phrase might well
be made to include the young women.
Oregon has always stood for ad
vanced education, and scarcely had the
settlers of the '40s and '50s unpacked
their household goods froai the prairie
schooners, after the long journey
across the plains, before they began
to lay the foundations of the educa
tional system, which is now rounding
out its perfection and making Oregon
a state In which no demand for edu
cational advantages, whether purely
cultural or strictly technical, need lead
a student outside her borders.
Western Leaders Seeded.
W. T. Foster, president of the Reed
Institute, declared recently that the
time has come when the West must
develop her own leaders and net look
to the East to develop them. As a
matter of fact, Oregon has been, for
many years, developing her own lead
ers, in the colleges and institutions of
higher education within her own bor
ders, and has been steadily bringing
to perfection a well co-ordinated edu
cational system, that ministers ever
the more surely and completely to all
the needs of the rising generation for
training In the higher branches of
knowledge.
Oregon Agricultural College has be
come & synonym for thorough and
practical training in the technical
branches and is recognized and looked
upon as a model school throughout the
United States. Especially in Its de
partments dealing with the culti-e of
the soil In all its phases. In Its en
gineering and mining departments, 1c
Its forestry and In its departments of
animal Industry, has the Oregon Ag
ricultural College raised Itself to the
front rank In the United States.
Graduates of this school have
repeatedly been called to responsible
positions on the faculties of similar
Institutions in the states of the East
and representatives from foreign
countries traveling in the United States
to investigate educational conditions,
have unfailingly spoken in high praise
of Oregon's great land and industrial
school.
State I Diversity Big Factor.
No less Important In its contribu
tion to the citizenship of the state
has been the work of the University
of Oregon. Its educational department
has been one of the best sources from
which has been drawn the material
upon which has been built up our
state-wide system of preparatory and
industrial high schools. Graduates
from Its engineering and scientific de
partments have won signal honors on
many occasions in the post graduate
institutions of the East. Its depart
ment of economics is being steadily de
veloped, with a view io taking the
same position of service to the state
that is held by the economics depart
ment of the University of Wisconsin,
which serves as an ex officio advisory
board to the legislative department of
the state.
In addition to the work offered In
the university departments at liugene.
tho schools of law and medicine in
Tortland have risen to a rank equal
to that of similar Institutions in the
Eastern states. The medical college
has been rated In class A by the edu
cational commission of the American
Medical Association.
Many Small Colleges Here.
Aside from consideration of the two
great state Institutions. Oregon Is
typically the state of the small col
leges. In the Willamette Valley there
Is scarcely a community that does not
lie within the radius of 10 miles from
some Institution offering collegiate
education. Portland boasts many
schools, besides Its regular city high
schools, which afford academic courses
nd regular college courses. Here
is situated Reed College. which
is unique among the institutions
of the United States in the high
standard of Its entrance requirements
for the granting of a college de
gree. Traveling through the valley
one finds. Pacific University. Pacific
College, McMtnnvllle College. Dallas
and Philomath Colleges. Albany Col
lege. Wllamette University. Monmouth
State Normal School, besides scores of
preparatory schools, and county high
schools situated In prictlcally every
town of Importance. Eastern Oregon
is not so well equipped with colleges,
but her high school system has been
built up to an equality with that of
any other section of the state.
Portland Has Well-Equipped Schools.
In Portland itself, academies for
young men and women, technical
schools offering courses In the pro
fessions and offering courses prepara
tory for trades, colleges of music and
business colleges, offer to the Intending
student an opportunity to obtain, with
out leaving the state. Instruction In
practically any branch of work that
may be his or her desire to take up.
All of this growth In the educational
conditions of the state, rapid as it has
been, has but kept pace with the gen
eral development of the state In every
line. It merely marks the approaching
perfection of a system that was estab
lished simultaneously with the estab
lishment of settlements in Oregon 60
years, and more. ago.
Residents of the Eastern states are
realizing that the West has not only
better opportunities m business to offer
them than may be found In the East,
but they are realizing that when they
come with their families to the West,
tbey are coming to a country where
they will find educational advantages
equal If not superior to those of the
state from which they came.
Eastern Students Come Here.
The registration books of nearly all
the schools and colleges of the state
will show today, almost as many stu
dents registered, whose birthplaces were
in the East, as they will show of na
tive Oregonians. Indeed In many
schools, as In the North Pacific Dental
College students are registered not
only from state of the Union, but
from countries of Canada. South Amer
ica. Europe and the. Orient.
California and Washington also boast
educational 'nstitutlons equal to any In
the East, and In this present day the
the incentive to come West for edu
cational advantages to the Pacific
Coast for educational advantages, is
as strong as It may be In any of the
states whoso educational Institutions
are of older development and standing.

ENROLLMENT INCREASES
AT PORTLAND ACADEMY
Starting in 1889 With 42 Students and Three Faculty Members, It Has 307
Graduates Now Entered in Colleges.
THREE Tnembers on its faculty and
42 young men and women in its
student body was the situation in
the Portland Academy when it , was
founded in 1889. It opens the term of
1912-12 with a probable enrollment in
all departments of nearly 600 students
and with a faculty of 25 directing the
work, under Principal Joseph R. Wil
son. William F. O. Thacher will Teturn
from a leave of absence and resume
charge of the department of English.
An addition to the personnel of the
faculty will be P. W. Lee, formerly
of the Portland'T. M. C. A. He will
have charge of the physical depart
ment. One of the changes for the improve
ment of the equipment of the academy
Is a cafeteria that has been estab
lished for the use of teachers and stu
dents, which will be open from 11:25
to 1 o'clock "each day. making it pos
sible to secure warm luncheons with
out great expense and without being
obliged to leave the schoolgrounds.
The two departments of the academy
consist of a preparatory course, in
volving the greater part of the ordi
nary grammar school courses and the
academic course, which leads up to
college entrance. The records of the
academy show that out of its graduates
307 have been enrolled in colleges and
advanced schools of technology. Port,
land Academy is one of the greatest
contributors to the student body of
the University of Oregon, 4 of Its
graduates have been enrolled in that
institution. Forty-four colleges, all of
National importance, have had graudu
ates of Portland Academy in their en
rollment. Student activities outside the regular
classroom work are fostered, giving
the students the advantage of athletic
sports, dramatic work, literary and so
cial activities that will fit them for
the more effective work after their
entrance into the higher educational
institutions.
Special prizes offered for scholarship
and for original work In scholastic
lines also encourage the development
of individual talent In the different departments.

that graduates from Oregon colleges
have made excellent records In other
states where their work has taken
them.

specialized post graduate work count
on the list of their scholarship stu
Hnt fnnnv flrr&duates from the state

scholarships in colleges In the East and
abroad, but they are strongly repre
