VOCATIONAL WORK FULLY RECOGNIZED University Requirements to Ac cept It for Half of Pre paratory Course. NO DISCRIMINATION MEANT -Culmination of Gradual 'Change, Says President Campbell, That Mas Been Working Out in the United States for Years. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene July 15. (Special.) When the Uni versity of Oregon opens in September a&.-m mtr. will be recorded In a tion-wide movement which Is re suiting in an entirely new relationship between the secondary schools and the i1r,ivr(les and colleges, at least the state institutions, in the United States. One phase of this relationship ie ex pressed in the "entrance requirements prescribed by the higher Institutions, the necessity of meeting which on the part of secondary schools puts them to some extent under the control of the higher Institutions. The latest change, which is merely one ot a series that has been going on for years, reduces the reuuirement in algebra (for all ex. oept major students In mathematics) trom one and a half units to a single unit, and places the whole question of foreign languages, modern and ancient alike, in the category of things that may be taken either in high school or university. The old required curriculum is no Tiioi o. Greek and Latin were abolished Q requirements so many years ago that -to speak of them seriously in connec tion with required courses is to argue one a back number. Now, even for etn language is no longer demanded "for entrance and even for graduation Is required only of those who offered none for entrance. Wider scope Advocated. "The greater part of the state uni versities," says President P. L. Camp "bell, "are already on a basis of ad mission fully as flexible as that recom mended by the committee of the secon dary schools themselves, and there is a marked tendency also to throw the door still more widely open, and to ac cept straight out, without regard to subjects, the recommendation of any high school which has been specially approved by an official Inspector. The range of Industrial and vocational units accepted for entrance Is being steadily enlarged." Out of the 14 or 15 units which con stitute the average high school course the University of Oregon now will pre scribe only seven. This is in line with the most recent practice of the greatest state universities, Oregon, perhaps, be ing slightly in the lead in the direction Bf liberal recognition of the vocational and other courses which have been lately added to the typical high school curriculum. The total requirement for admission now that foreign language has been omitted and algebra reduced to a single unit, is as follows: . English, three units: algebra, one unit: plane geometry, one unit; history one unit; science, one unit. Young Folk to Benefit. This means that the stage has at last been reached at which a young man or woman started a high school course with the Idea of following it tor four years or even less and then going to work. Is now, for the first time, free to change plans, and. a higher ambition being struck, material means being obtained, or a higher courage offering to lead on to greater achieve ments, is able to build a.more ambitious structure on the foundation which was -intended in the beginning as merely the average preparation for the average mentality. The significance of this evolution Is that the vocational courses have found their place In the educational system, and the result is a much more flexible organization, in which voca tional Ideas can be introduced early and advantage taken of their vivifying Influence, and yet the gate of oppor tunity is not closed If unexpected qual ities or ambitions develop in the stu 'dent later in the course. For in stance, almost any vocational course that is net positively hide-bound in its narrowness would include some atten tion. to the English language, a course or two in mathematics and a pinch of pome kind of history and an intrbduc tlbn to science. That is the present day college entrance requirement as it exists in the modern state-supported Institution of higher education. "Least of all do we want class legis lation or class education," declared jPresident Campbell in presenting the case lor riexiDie requirements to me university presidents of the United States at their recent National confer l nee. "The people are more homoge neous as to essential qualities and ca pabilities than the past generation sus pected. The children of the poor be come the masters of the rich; the sons and daughters of the illiterates grace the highest positions of honor and re sponsibility; and even from the crim inal classes come safe and reliable cit izens, who react more strongly against orime on account of their first-hand knowledge of its terrors. The varia tions In individuals are but transitory phenomena, mere ripples on the great racial tide. -"A state system should be so flexible ? to bind nowhere a boy or girl of reai talent." . ' WATERLOO FARMER OUSTED New Law Prevents Rebuilding Heme on Battlefield. of BRUSSELS. July 22. As a curious example of the unjust way in which a law sometimes works, comes a story from the battlefield of Waterloo. A farmhouse on and which the owner claims was in use in 1815 was burned to the ground on May 8 last. It stands so far from the commune of Braine y'Alleud to which it belongs that as sistance was not forthcoming and noth ing was saved but the stable and its occupants. According to the law re cently passed in the Belgian Chamber, no buildings may henceforth be erected on the battlefield, and the farmer, who has sent a petition to the government that he may be allowed to rebuild his home, lias as yet received no reply, and is obliged to sleep on the straw in the stable with his animals. Christ Scientists to Build. EUGENE, Or.. July 25. (Special.) The Christian Scientists today an nounced the construction of a new churoh building In Eugene, which will 1e oompteted within two months. It will be a modest frame structure of Uolonial design. The building, when completed, will be Eugene's 18th church edifice. LARGEST OF ALL BRITISH LINERS TO BE TEN TIMES GREATER WHITE. STAR LINK'S LEVIATHAN BRITANNIC AND ORIGINAL BRITANNIC. Nearly every regular traveler across- the Atlantic becomes attached to some favorite steamer. The White Star liner first -to bear the name Britannic, launched In 1874 and employed regularly in transatlantic crossings until 1S99. was in the fullest sense of the term a favorite vessel. The second steamer to bear this illustrious name is a giant ten times larger than her predecessor, and is now nearing completion at Belfast. The newer and greater Britannic, B0.000 tons, largest of all British steamers, will enter the White Star Line's New York-Plymouth-Cherbourg-Southampton service next Spring. CANAL GUIS RATES Steamer Missourian on Way to Portland Via Panama. SALMON TARIFF REDUCED Fish Freightage Hereafter to Be 30 Cents Instead of 40 Cents a Hun dred American - Hawaiian Fleet Now Direct Service. Portland freight from New York will arrive on the steamer Missourian, of the American-Hawaiian fleet, which is due to sail from the Atlantic side Au gust 4. It will be the first direct serv ice to this city via the Panama Canal. In connection with that fact, informa tion has arrived that with the opening of the canal there will be a reduction of rates. C. D. Kennedy, Portland agent for the fleet, received a telegram yesterday from New York headquarters inform ing him of the scheduled movements of the Missourian, and that the steamer Mexican would depart from New York August 15. The steamer Nebraskan is due to sail from San Francisco for New York August 11, carrying Portland freight that will be trans-shipped, and the steamer Honolulan departs from the Golden Gate August 23, to make di rect deliveries at Philadelphia and Bos ton, as well as at New York. As to rates, It is announced that the tariff of 40 cents on every 100 pounds of canned salmon has been lowered to 30 cents, and the 45-cent rate on other canned fish is dropped to 30 cents as wMl Thp lie, of rerliietinriK in other! commodities has not been forwarded?! but is expected to be made known the next two weeks. Transfer Days Over. The American-Hawaiian has given Portland service for a number of years, and the fleet was introduced here with direct steamers, but it was found after a practical trial that sufficient cargo was not forthcoming to warrant the operation of the larger steamers, so a transfer vessel was used between Port land and San Francisco. Less than two years ago the company again tried out large steamers so freight could be shipped without rehandling, but the re sults were found much the same and a transfer ship again resorted to. Now the city has once more been placed on the American-Hawaiian map, and, while fair business is enjoyed, the aim is to increase patronage, that a regular and dependable service may be assured. The company operates the steamers American, Hawaiian, Call fornian, Georgian. Kentucklan. Ore gonlan. Texan, KansanP- Minnesotan. Montanan, Dakotan, Iowan, Otaioan, Alaskan, Arizonan. Columbian. Hono lulan, Isthmian, Mexican, Missourian. Nebraskan, Nevadan, Virginian, Penn sylvanian. Panaman and Washing tonian. Bijg Carriers Expected. Originally the line operated between Atlantic and Pacific Coast ports by way of the Straits of Magellan and then gained an advantage in obtaining priv ileges via the Tehuantepee route, so cargo was handled by rail between Salina Cruz and Puerto Mexico and re shipped, thereby cutting down the time in transit. The recent trouble in Mex ico brought about an abandonment of the Tehuantepee route and steamers were again routed through the Straits of Magellan pending the opening of the canal. Under the new schedule cargo loaded at any port will be delivered to des tination without trans-shipment. It is not expected that the line will send its largest vessels to Portland, but certain carriers suitable for the trade that can carry several thousand tons will be placed on the run. This harbor also has the Atlantic and Pacific fleet, operated by W. R. Grace & Co., consisting of the steamers Santa Clara, Santa Catalina. Santa Cruz and Santa Cecelia, while the Luckenbach line has re-established its service, using the steamers Pleiades. Lewis Lucken bach and Damara. wijMe the Boston Pacific line, backed by" the old Emery interests of Boston, has a fleet ready for operation that will make the prin cipal Pacific Coast ports carrying gen eral cargo and loading back largely with lumber. HASSALO'S TRIP CANCELED Crack O.-W. R. & N. Vessel Delayed by Grounding on Lower River. On the way from Portland to Astoria and Megler early yesterday morning the O.-W. R. & N., steamer Hassalo went aground and she was delayed in being floated to such an extent that her departure from Portland last night was canceled. The vessel Is due to leave Megler on time tonight. Heavy travel to North Beach was responsible for accommodations on the Hassalo and Harvest Queen being dis posed of for last night and the elimi nation of the tardy steamer from tha scnedule resulted In every effort being made to accommodate the crowd on the Harvest Queen. The steamer T. J. Potter, which got away at 1 o'clock vesterday afternoon- for Megler, car ried 285 passengers for North Beach. ' -l Warm weather has increased travel to above that for the same period last year and it promises to be one of the most successful seasons the Wash ington beach has experienced. RIVER. OUTINGS ARE NUMEROUS Excursion Fleet Leaves Today for Short Journeys. Portland residents and tourists are enjoying unusual opportunities for river trips this season, as excursion vessels are operating on both rivers and Sunday runs are in vogue partic ularly. The new steamer Georgiana le"ives Washington-street dock this morning for Astoria and Fort Canby and the steamer Undine departs from Taylor street dock for AstDria. The steamer Bailey Gatzert goes from Alder-street dock to the Cascade Locks and return. The steamer Pomona makes three trips from Taylor-street dock to Ore gon City, and the catamaran, Kitty Moran. plies there from Morrison street. Besides, the steamer Joseph Kellogg leaves for Camas to carry an excursion to Collins Springs, and a number of private parties have been made up to pass the day on the river. t SKAGWAY COMPETITIVE POINT Puget Sound lane Seeks Dawson and Fairbanks Trade. It is announced by the "Admiral" fleet, operating from Puget Sound to Alaska, that with the departure this week of the steamer Admiral Evans Skagway will be Included in the itin erary as a port of call. The line re cently was extended Into Cook's Inlet to Knik and Skagway was taken in after a traffic contract was entered intj with the White Pass & Yukon road, so for the first time the steamers of that fleet are to handle freight for Dawson and Fairbanks. The Portland-Alaska vessels have made Skagway the terminus of their route since the service was inaugurat ed and Portland merchants have en- Joyed the advantage of the interior trnilp. The steamer which sailed Friday night for the Narth, stopped on the way down the river to complete her lumBer cargo ana wont to sea last night. DECKHAND'S ESCAPE NARROW Man Falls From Speedy Steamer but Is Rescued. t Harry Wren deckhand on the steamer Jessie Harkins, is today congratulating himself on the fact he knows how to swim and to that he probably owes his life, as he fell overboard from the steamer yesterday morning when he was Dasslue St. Johns, en route here from Camas, and the vessel made about 500 feet befor being stopped. It appears that Wren was on the maindeck forward and In some man ner lost his balance, going over the side and being caught in the wash astern. Immediately the alarm was given and the speed of the steamer slack ened, as well as preparations made for lowering a boat, but meanwhile occupants of a launch hurried to the swimmer and hauled him aboard. He was taken to the Harkins and pro ceeded here none the worse for his ducking. LIBEL FOLLOWS ACCIDENT Vessel Seized Eight Hours After Longshoreman Is Injured. Joseph Smith, a longshoreman, was Btruck on the head by a slingload of lumber going aboard the steamer Daisy Putnam, lying at the O. & C. dock, at 11 o'clock yesterday morning and at 7 o'clock last night Deputy United States Marshal Leonard Becker seized the vessel by virtue of an action brought in the interest of the in jured man. A caretaker was placed aboard and the vessel is expected to be released tomorrow. It is recited that Smith's Injuries were of such a nature that he was sent to a hospital, though the libel is not for a specific amount, the plaintiff asking that the sum be fixed by the court. DREDGE CHINOOK TAKES REST Daily Capacity Past Week Estimated at 30,000 Yards. ASTORIA, Or., July 25. (Spcial.) The bar dredge Chinook came to the upper harbor today to remain over Sunday. The craft is working splen didly, and as the weather conditions have beeiv fine she is accomplishing good results. During the past week she has been pumping up and catching in her bins 15.000 yards or about 22,500 tons of sand each day and fully as much more escapes with the overflow, to be car ried out to sea by the swift-running tide. MAST SNAPS UNDER BRIDGE Three-Quarters of Inch Lacking for Tuft Under Hawthorne Draw. As the barkentine James Tuft was being towed through the Hawthorne avenue bridge at 8 o'clock yesterday mtorning by the steamer Ocklahama her mizzenmast struck a cross brace be neath the draw and the hall surmount ing that stick was broken oft and foil on deck. A msrk on the ball, showing where it came in contact with the brace, indicated that had there been a clearance of three-quarters of an inch THAN ORIGINAL 1874 CRAFT. more the vessel would have cleared the draw. On arrival here early in the week the barkentine loaded a part cargo of lum ber at the North Pacific mill and was ordered to shift to the plant of the Portland Lumber Company. The ma terial she worked tended to put her "down by the head" and as her fore mast and mainmast cleared easily, it was thought her Jlggermast would be the only one close to the draw. Bridge men reported that the draw was raised 160 feet above zero, and as there was 10.2 feet of water on the gauge, the clearance was 149.8 feet. Dredge Workers Not Under Law. SALEM, Or., July 25. (Special.) Workers on a dredge are- not subject to the ten-hour labor law, according to an opinion rendered today by Assist ant Attorney-General Benjamin. Labor Commissioner Hoff was asked by the Peninsular Industrial Company, which is dredging the Columbia River near Portland, if the law applied to the men working on the dredges. Mr. Hoff thought the law applied if the work was done under the management of the Port of Portland, but if it is a private enterprise it does not. Mr. Benjamin held that a dredge was not a mill, a factory or a workshop and tnereiore men employed on one do not come within the purview of the law limiting the hours of labor. Low Water Stops Toledo Run. TOLEDO, Wash.. July 25. (Special.) Owing to the low stage of water in the Cowlitz River the steamer Chester has made its last trip for the present. The last two trips the steamer has been obliged to tie up at the old landing below town. The Cowlitz is much lower than usual at this season of the year. MARINE INTELLIGENCE. Steamer Schedule.

CABINET SHIFT MAY LET OREGON MAN Teal and Chamberlain Spoken of if McReynolds Should Succeed Lurton. LANE IS LIKELY TO MOVE Secretary or Interior Probably Would Become AWorney-General, in Accordance With Presi dent's Original Plan. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, July 2S. If President Wilson appoints Attorney-General McReynolds to the Supreme Bench, to fill the va cancy caused by the death of Justice Lurton, Franklin K. Lane, now Secre tary of the Interior, is regurded as a probable selection for Attorney-General, and the chances are favorable for the aDDOintment of some Pacific Coast Democrat as Secretary of the Interior, J. N. Teal, of Portland, is one of the men whose names will be considered for the Interior Department portfolio in the event Secretary Lane goes to the neniirtment of Justice; Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, is another, and pinv Tallman. of Nevada, now Commissioner of the General Land Of fice, Is a third possible selection. Lane Shitted at Lt Moment. When President Wilson was making up his Cabinet, he long considered Mr. Lane for the office ot Aiiorney-uen-eral. and at one time had decided to nnnnknt him to that office. Pressure was brousrht to bear, however, in be half of Mr. McReynolds, and a day or two before the Cabinet slute finally was made up. Mr. Wilson decided on Mr. Lane for the Interior Department. it was then known that Mr. Lane pre ferred the Attorney-Generalship to other positions In the Cabinet, The transfer or secretary tano w the Department of Justice would prove a -rt dlsaDDOlntment to Western Senators and Representatives, for they fear It will be Impossible to find an other man so fair and yet so frank in his handling of the perplexing public land problems. However, it is said by friends of the Secretary that he would be glad of an opportunity to serve as Attorney-General. Ultimately, according to report. Secretary Lane would like to sit on the Supreme Bench and this might be brought about before the close of President Wilsons term, If Justice McKenna. who. like Secretary Lane. hails from California, should aeciae to retire. Justice McK.enna is now n years old and is eligible for retire ment In selecting a new Secretary of tne Interior, the President likely wouiu give great weight to any recommenda tion Secretary Lane mignt maae, anu it is not known wnere Jir. uano o nreference lies. The Secretary Is a good friend of .Mr. leai, as lie is m Senator Chamberlain ana oi i.ana com missioner Tallman. Mr. Tallman, of em,re is In closer touch with the worit of the department tnan any ouisiuer could be, and this may weign in nis favor. Mr. Teal was one of the leading can didates for the Interior portfolio when Mr. Wilson was making up his cabinet. Chumberlain'a Plana Unsettled. Senator Chamberlain may or may not figure In the selection of a Secre tary of the Interior. The Senator real- and the Administration realises that he has a hard fight on his hands this Fall, and if developments in ure gon make It evident In advance that a Republican Senator is to be elected. Senator Chamberlain may prefer the Cabinet office. If Senator Chamber lain should decide to become a canal- date he would have to do recaonea with, for he has made more than one bie sacrifice for the Administration, as by his vote for free wool. The appointment or senator i.nam berlaln would be well received In the Senate. Moreover, the senate wouiu oe quick to confirm his nomination out of courtesy. HILL DEAL IS REPORTED INTERCHANGE WITH PACIFIC NAV IGATION COMPANY RUMORED. Bookings to and From San Ulrgo and I ,,s Angeles Would Result With San Francisco Transfer. Transportation men are interested In a story from San Francisco that nego tiations have been closed for an Inter change of business between the Pacific Navigation Company, operating the steamers Harvard and Yale, and the Hill lines, which will operate the steamers Great Northern and Northern Pacific between Astoria and San Fran cisco. A traffic arrangement is said TAKES ON 5000 TONS DURING also to have been entered Into with the Santa Fa and Western Pacific rail lines. It has been known for the past few months that there was a move afoul to handle through ticket on the new Hill liners s buetnea could be booked to and from San Diego and Los An gel, though the line will end at Ban Francisco. The Hill vessels are to dock at the same pier as the Yale and Har vard, so interchanges will be facili tated. It has been rumored that Captain H C. Thomas, of the steamer Governor, operated by the Pacific Coast steam ship Company, had been selected t proceed to Philadelphia and I ring the first of the Hill vessels to the Coast, but he denies this. The new steamers are to start on the Ast rla-San Francisco run early In 1915. The Great Northern was launched at Cramp's yard early In the month and the Northern Pacific will be In the water soon. The present travel between Portland and California Is sufficient to tax moat of the vessels. The Beaver, sailing this morning, will have all passengers that can be accommodated In the cabin and many who applied during the past few days have been disappointed. FOX ROCK BUOY HKP1H1.I Work Held Up Owliifr to Hougli Con ditions orr OMML Heavy swell off Orford Reef in the past two weeks have retarded the work of the lighthouse tender Heather in lifting a mammoth gas buoy marking Fox Rock so that It may be overhauled and the submarine bell apparatus may be repaired with a new romponltlnn used for the bell striker, as the present one is thought to have become cor roded. A report was received at the head quarters of the Seventeenth Lighthouse District yesterday that up to July 20 the Heather had been prevented from hoisting the buoy from Its position be cause of the weather. During the period prevailing northwest winds are responsible for delightful weather ashore, hut along the coast breexes have been fresh. -.s From Oregon Poll- ASTORIA. July 28.
