CLASS OF 200 EXPECTED THE STJVIAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLANDS JUNE 8, 1913. r i Education, Increase of Ministerial Efficiency and Betterment off Rural School Conditions to Be Specially Considered. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene, June 7. (Special.) Exit the regular collegiate year at the University of Oregon, with the terror of the final examinations, the festivities of com mencement time and the exodus of the students to their Summer occupations. Enter the University Summer School, with its programme of lectures by many eminent savants of the country and its influx of mature students from all parts of the state. The coming session of the Summer school Is the ninth. Each year has seen an increase In the strength of the fac ulty and enrollment of students, and the expectation of President Campbell and Dr. Joseph Schafer, the director, that the growth will be continued and that the coming session will surpass its predecessors, promises to be re alized. Registrar Tiffany has received sufficient inquiries to augur a larger enrollment than that of last year. Enrollment of 200 Expected. It is estimated that this enrollment will not fall short of 200, whereas the total for last Summer was 171. This was a gain cf 23 over the 1911 figures. The last regular university classes for the year were held yesterday and the undergraduates are preparing for the Inquisition of next week. Many of them will leave as soon as they have finished their last examination. The commencement exercises, beginning June 14 and closing June 18, will, how ever, detain a large number of the stu dents, in addition to attracting the usual number of visitors. Summer school will open June 23 and close August 1, leaving an intermission of only ten days between the finale of the collegiate year and the overture to the special session. Many students who have fallen behind in their work during this or past semesters will make the Summer session an asylum in which to repair their fortunes. The majority of the Summer student body, however, will consist of mature men and women teachers and those engaged In other professions and in business. Three Conferences Planned. Three special conferences are planned by the Summer school management for the week beginning July 21. They will be on the -subjects of education, the in creasing of ministerial efficiency and the betterment of rural school condi tions, respectively.

The Summer school as a Chautauqua Assembly is being featured by this year's management. TRI-COUNTY FAIR IS DATED Exposition Will Bo Held at Condon, Or., October 1, 2 and 3. CONDON. Or., Juno 7.

They will have a crew of six or eight men and will work from a harbor tug. While the two Jetties have deepened the local bar considerably. It is appar ent the north Jetty should be extended about a mile In order to reach the crest of the bar and accomplish the best re sults.

I4 : -i GRESHAM IS WINNER I I GRADUATES GIVE PLEDGE M'MrTILLE STUDENTS PROM ISE TO REPAY PARENTS. Superintendent I. R. Ackerraan Re ceives Hearty Reception in Town Where He Began Career. MMINNVILLE, Or.. June 7. (Spe cial.) Perhaps Superintendent L. It Alderman has never received a more hearty welcome in his life than he re ceived in McMinnvllle last night when he addressed the graduating class of the McMinnvllle High School. Mr. Al derman began his work as an educator in this town, coming here directly from his graduation at the University of Oregon to take charge of the schools about 13 years ago. McMinvtlle people have always retained a deep interest in his career. The keynote of his speech was the importance of the habits and virtues necessary for developing the highest type of men and women. Not how much Latin or mathematics, but how well is the student fitted for life should be the questions asked of graduates, he said. The habits of industry, Mr. Alderman continued,- were two of the most vital importance in determining the usefulness and happiness of men and women, and he paid a high tribute to the School Board of McMinnvllle for the work which is being done in the local schools along industrial lines. A pretty part of the exercises was the rising of the 33 graduates in re sponse to a request of their valedic torian. Homer Stewart, to take a solemn pledge to repay, by their manner of life, all that had been done by par ents, community and the state to make their graduation possible. The eyes of many of the class were dim when Mr. Alderman referred to this part of the ceremony and feelingly reminded them of the sacrifice which had been made by many of their parents to give them a high school education. "The time to repay this sacrifice," said the speaker, "is not 10 or 15 years from now, but today. This Is the largest class yet grad uated from the local high school, which has Increased its enrollment from 75 to 225 in three years.
