ATHLETIC PROWESS NOT OVERLOOKED
IN SCHOOL TRAINING OF NORTHWEST
In Track and Field Sports Preparatory and Finishing Institutions of Learning Now Hold Their Own With the
East and Indications Are for Even Greater Activity in Future.
FOR many years past the entire Na-'
tlon has been bowing at the shrine
of Pacific Coast college and pre
paratory athletics, and from present
Indications the future will see no ces
sation of the incense-burning, as plans
for rehabilitating and Improving: the
athletic departments at the various In
stitutions will attest.
In the Northwest athletics are wax
ing: stronger every year. Departments
are becoming more and more system
atized; better instructors and coaches
are being secured and conditions . are
being ameliorated.
At the Oregon Agricultural College
Dt. E. J. Stewart, an Eastern athletic
director of note, has been placed in
control of athletic affairs, and already
his master hand has worked miracles
in all branches. The University of Ore
gon also will have a noted football tu
tor on the gridiron next .'all, Hugo Bes
dek, the famous Chicago star. At Wil
lamette University Dr. G. J. Sweetland,
Jr., still holds over, and the eminent
coach is now in the East studying the
trans-Mississippi methods.
Other State Advance.
In Washington and Idaho similar ad
vancement is noted in all branches of
sport.
The University of Washington crew
gained lasting fame recently by getting
third place in the Intercollegiate re
gatta at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., defeating
several of the crack Eastern eights,
Washington also had a good year In
football and track, winning both titles
in the .Northwest.
Johnny Bender Is in charge of ath
letics at Washington State, the famous
sprinter, Archie Hahn, at Whitman, and
"Pink" Griffith at Idaho.
Pacific University, Whitworth Col
lege, McMlnnville and a host of other
well-known institutions all help swell
the advancing tide.
Football, baseball, track, tennis,
wrestling, golf, basketball these are
some of the branches of athletics in
which the Northwestern college boys
are being drilled every season.
At Reed College In Portland inter
collegiate contests are taboo, but ath
letics are on the boom there just the
same.
Columbia la' Promising
In the preparatory and high schools
this same athletic activity is noted.
Columbia University had a particularly
notable collection of track stars this
Spring, winning all the interscholastic
meets on the calendar.
In the preparatory football field
Washington High, of Portland, had an
eleven which ranked with the most
formidable in the country. Their over
whelming rout of the Wendell Phillips
High, of Chicago, by a margin of over
0 points shows how strong the local
school really was.
Hill Military Academy, Portland
Academy and a dozen other training
schools also go in strong for the de
velopment of the physical as well as
the mental.
. This is why athletic experts believe
that past standards will be lived up
to, for it is in the high and prepara
tory schools that the first lessons In
athletics should be assimilated.

liuella Clay Carson, Late of IT. of O.,
Now Head of Mills College.
Mills College is the one woman's col
lege on the coast, and its work in all
departments is recognized as contribut
ing to high Ideals of character, scholar
ship, culture, and efficiency. Mills Col
lege does no preparatory work is not
a "finishing school," but is a standard
woman's college ranked by the United
States Commissioner of Education in
his report of 1910 in division A among
the 16 leading women's colleges of our
country. It is not a. denominational in
stitution, but it is distinctly Christian
In customs and Influence.
This college for women emphasizes
the value of all the standard college
courses: the language and literatures,
history, education, philosophy and the
sciences; it provides for health and
grace in physical education. It also
gives to young women the excellent op
portunities for culture and refinement,
for peculiar helpfulness in the home
and community offered through courses
in home economics, library study, oral
expression, drawing, painting and mu
sic. Students working for a degree may
major or minor in home economics or
.music, as In any other academic sub
jects. Mills College, with its 150 acres, In
the suburbs of Oakland, Cal., accessible
to all parts of the Coast, Is not outdone
in beauty of situation by any American
college for women. Its president Is an
Oregon - woman, Luella Clay Carson,
Litt. D.. LL. D.
Mrs. Carson was for many years dean
of women and head of the English de-
. partment in the University of Oregon
leaving that institution about six years
ago to assume direction of the affairs
' of Mills College. Mrs. Carson Is an edu
cator of national repute and is recog
nlzed as a woman of strong executive
ability. Thoroughness was the most
characteristic among the demands she
made upon her students in the state
university and this characteristic she
has carried into her new sphere of
work.
Graduates from Mills College are able
to boast a training as compelte and ef
ficient as can be secured In any of the
women's colleges in the East, and a de
gree from Mills College makes possible
a. step directly into advanced post
graduate work for women who desire to
specialize in the post-graduate schools
of the East or in other countries.

culture. Is a source of interest and In
spiration to the growing youth,' in
many cases being the real impetus
that finally leads to the desire for a
higher education..
The instructors of Manzanita Hall
rank among the foremost in the state.
The course of Instruction is directly
preparatory to either Stanford Uni
versity or California.
In addition to the efforts which are
made to keep the courses up to date
and on the highest plane, decided at
tention is paid to the character de
velopment of the boy.,-
During the coming semester, which
commences on August 26, a limited
number of applications will be consid
ered for boarding pupils. All applica
tions should be addressed to W. A.

to
ographers which has been for years a
strong feature of the college curricu
lum. both in the Gregg and Pitman
systems. Instruction is carried beyond
the technical study into the field of
practical routine, which - enhances
earning power.
The faculty is further increased by
the coming of Henry H. Kloepping, a
former proprietor of the Globe Busi
ness College In St. Paul, to the com
mercial department.
Object of Founders Has Been
Raise Standard of Course.
Seattle College and Seminary has
become widely known for the thor
oughness of Its work. It has been the
object of the founders from begin
ning to pay special attention to Qual
ity rather than quantity. With this
end in view, they have never sought
for an attendance beyond the equip
ment and ability of the faculty to
guarantee first-class results.
One of the features of this institu
tion is its Christian tone. While un
der the auspices of a denomination. It
is in no sense a sectarian institution.
During the 20 years of its existence
' it has produced many efficient men and
women. A large endowment fund is
now being raised, and the future of
. this institution is most promising.
Alexander Beers, the president, has
been in educational work for 25 years,
and Is one of the men who has kept
abreast of the times, along educational
lines.
PACIFIC HAS SUCCESSFUL YEAR
Forest Grove Institution to Have
New President.
Pacific- University, at Forest Grove,
Or., has rounded out a successful year,
and the commencement was marked
with a spirit of optimism for the future
of the institution. The committee of
control, consisting of Professors F. C.
Taylor, H. L. Bates and William G.
Harrington, reported that a saving of
$4393.09 had been made in current ex
penses, as against the previous year.
The most important feature of the com
mencement season was the celebration
of the 60th anniversary of the gradua
tion of Harvey W. Scott, the first grad
uate of the institution.
Dr. C. J. Bushnell, who received his
Ph. D. degree from Chicago University
In 1901, was elected president of col
lege on June 26 and has accepted the
position. He will take charge of the
affairs of the college on September 1,
at which time President W. N. Ferrln's
resignation takes effect. Dr. Bushnell
Is a speaker and writer of wide repu
tation In the Middle West and the
friends and alumni of the college feel
satisfied that a strong executive has
been chosen to lead Pacific University
into a large place in the educational
system of Oregon.
Aside from the resignation of Presi
dent Ferrln there will be but one change
in the faculty for the coming year.
Professor W. M. Proctor has been elect
ed to the chair of economics and educa
tion, following Professor L. B. Shippee,
who resigned to accept the chair of so
clal science at the Washington State
College at Pullman, Wash. Professor
Alexis Ben Korl. who has held the
chair of modern language for the past
seven years, was granted a year s leave
of absence to study In Paris and Berlin.
MANZASTTA HALL RANKS HIGH
Proximity to Pulo Alto and Leland
Stanford, Jr., Advantageous.
Probably no other training school In
California offers so many decided ad
vantages in combination with .the op
portunity for the most careful instruc
tlon as does Manzanita Hall, at Palo
Alto.
Situated within a few minutes' walk
of Leland Stanford, Jr., University or
the beautiful town of Palo Alto, its lo
cation Is at once unique and advan
tageous, ine neignDoring campus,

ACCOUNTING IS
SIMPLIFIED
Business College Principal Invents
New Practical System.
A great deal of Interest has been
shown throughout the country in an
invention of the principal of Holmes
Business College, designed to teacn
practical accounting in an unusually
short time. The device is in the form
of a game. Students at the college use
the game for introductory study, and
make phenomenal progress, .the course
having been greatly shortened by its
use, while the efficiency has been
doubled.
Special evening classes will be con
ducted this year for business men, cov
ering scientific accounting briefly in a
practical manner. These classes will
be strictly limited to a small number
and the work adapted to the individual
needs, making the study an actual ac
counting service to each man enrolled.
The course will start with the funda
mentals; but no one will be admitted
except those actually in business or
engaged in keeping books. Conspicu
ous service of this nature has been
rendered by the college for a number
of years, but the scope will be greatly
Increased.
The shorthand department is greatly
strengthened by the addition of Ed
ward E. Coad, former superintendent of
Hood River schools, who will give spe
clal attention to broadening the work
in actual business practice for sten
EXPRESSION
IS
EFFECTIVE
Principal" of Portland Institution
Discusses Speech Arts.
A school that has done effective work
in Portland for a number of years is
the Gillespie School of Expression, of
which Km ma. Wilson- Gillespie is prin
clpaL
In outlining the aim of the course.
the principal says: "The development
of the individual to its highest and best
is the first requisite of any vital educa
tion, and a course in the true art of
expression, which is perhaps more ac
curately designated by the newer term
of 'speech arts, is broadly educational
In a vital way.
'By life study and pantomime, ob
servation all sense perception 1
quickened. By the association of ideas,
the memory is strengthened.
;'By freeing and rendering respon
sive the vocal apparatus, together with
the entire physical body, the voice is
cultured, poise is gained and health
is Improved. - .
An acquaintance wltn the .master
minds of literature enlarges" the vocab.
ulary and widens the thought range,
while the corresponding growth of the
imagination and of the emotional na
ture broadens the life vision and the
heart sympathies.
"Finally, the imperative need, in in
terpretative rendition, . of self -adjustment
and self-control, develops - inhe
rent capability, personality and will
power, which tends toward that aim of
all true education the building of
character.
"Thus it' is that a thorough course In
the art of expression is not conducive
to the spectacular or the merely orna
mental, but furnishes practical equip
ment for the augmenting of success in
the social, business and professional
worlds." -
NORMAL HAS BIG SESSION
More Than 400 Students Enrolled at
Monmouth During Past Year.

BUSINESS COLLEGE POPULAR
Student Encouraged to Do His Best
From Time of Enrollment.
Behnke-Walker Business College, lo
cated at Fourth and Morrison streets,
is an institution where hundreds of
young men and women are learning the
principles of business education.
"Business men know," says the pros
pectus of the college, "that by phoning
Behnke-Walker they can secure compe
tent help. Few, however, even those
within a stone's throw of tiie college,
realize its magnitude or the importance
of an institution which takes the boys
and girls in their formative period,
when they are most susceptible to en
vironment, and molds their characters
so that they may be able to see an op
portunity when it presents itself. From
the time he first enrolls the student is
encouraged to do his best to aim
high."
Behnke-Walker is only 10 years old,
but its policy of honest dealing with
students and the public; the thorough
preparation insured those who enroll;
the watchful care exercised over the
students during their school life, and
the placing of them in good positions
as Boon as they are capable, has put
Behnke-Walker in the front rank as
an educational institution.
