STANDARD SOUGHT
Presidents and Faculties of
Private Colleges Decide
Steps at Forest Grove.
UNIFORM CALENDAR AIM
Intercollegiate Physical Education
Cornell to Organize Contests Is
Plan for Culture Study of
Domestic Science Discussed.
PACIFIC UNIVERSITY, Forest Grove,
Or, Nov. 28. (Special.) Important
measures for higher education In the
Pacific Northwest were decided on yes.
terday at the eighth annual conference
of the presidents and faculties of the
privately supported colleges of Ore
eon, meeting at Pacific University.
In the afternoon session on Friday, a
uniform calendar of college events and
a plan of lntercollege llberary co-operation
were recommended. On the
question of physical culture training:
among the colleges It was decided to
organize an intercollegiate physical
education council composed of one
faculty member and one student from
each college to formulate plans and
organize contests, looking toward the
development of a system of physical
training in the colleges that shall in
terest all of the students In each in
stitution to enter track, field and other
sports, and by a system of averages,
based on the records made in each in
stitution It is planned to organize in
tercollegiate com pet it on in these lines
without so much of the undesirable
.travel and semi-professional effort that
have marked these. sports in the past
Game Standards Proposed.
It Is proposed to retain some Inter
collegiate games but to set standards
and tone up the whole work of phy
sical training in a more rational way
than has been done in the past. A. M.
Grllley, of the Portalnd Y. M. C. A.,
was made chairman of this council
and the colleges arranged to report
their other members to him for im
mediate organization during the coming
week. ,
In regard to the place of domestic
BClence and art in the colleges, it was
pointed out that these studies are
being incorporated rapidly into the
liberal arts courses, with a wide range
of high-grade cultural subjects. Many
of the colleges of the Pacific Coast
ere already giving credit for standard
home administration courses. The
subject was presented by Mrs. H. B.
Brooks, director of domestic arts at
the Oregon Agricultural College. I
Social Events Problem Presented.
The problem of social events was
presented by Miss Isabel Grover, of
McMinnville College. Her paper out
lined the distinctively college recrea
tions that various institutions are de
veloping and laid especial emphasis on
the Importance of the work of the in
dependent colleges In maintaining
Idealism and democratic good-fellowship
in their social life.
One of the most interesting ad
dresses was given by M. J. Fenega,
who is developing a co-operative com
munity settlement at Strassel. Or. Un
der Mr. Fenega the students of North
land College (Wisconsin) engaged in a
large number of Industrial operations,
such as printing, cement block-making,
broom-making and bookbinding.
Professor A. E. Wood, of Reed Col
lege, Saturday morning discussed the
relation of the college to the com
munity. He pointed out the social and
educational importance of bringing the
college student into close touch with
the social and educational problems of
the day, such as poverty, intemperance,
publio health and housing unemploy
ment. Moral Control Is Considered.
Methods of moral control and re
ligious incentive were discussed by Pro
fessor W. H. Lee, of Albany College.
He pointed out the need of close asso
ciation between professors and stu
dents, the need of high moral character
and moral leadership on the part of
the faculties and the exemplification of
the Christian spirit embodied in the
golden rule to develop a sane, broad
minded and effective religious spirit
In college.
The closing topic of the session, on
"The Social Valuation of Mental Abil
ity In College." was presented by Pro
fessor W. F. Ogburn, of Reed College.
He made the Important point that our
colleges, particularly in the East, have
developed a social approval of and in
terest In the extra-curricular activities,
such as intercollegiate athletics, fra
ternity affairs and student festivities,
out of all proportion to the interest- in
the curricular activities of. classroom
and laboratory. He pointed out that
these vital concerns of the colleges'
chief work must be and can be made
to hold the first place in the student's
Interest by making such interest fash
ionable by rightly guided essays, de
bates and excursions to point of so
. cial Interest.
At 'the business session President
William T. Foster, of Reed College,
was elected president of the conference
for the "coming year. Professor H. L.
Bates, of Pacifio University, was
elected vice-president and President L.
W. Riley, of McMinnville College, was
re-elected to the office of secretary of
the conference and as a member of the
State Board of College Standardization.
A large number of delegates from the
Northwest were present at the sessions.
The meeting next year will be held at
McMinnville College.

ture of approximately $38,000, accord
ing to the report of the finance com
mittee. The 1915 budget shows an
Increase estimate of about $2000. How
ever, since the city is growing fast
and the valuation is likely to be in
creased by at least $500,000 the muni
cipal affairs, it seems, to the retrench
ment element, should easily be pro
vided for without too much of a boost
in the assessment.
The City Attorney at the last meet
ing of the City Council declared the
appropriation of $1500 for the legal
department was far too small to meet
what is inevitably certain to be de
manded of the municipality. There are
six damage suits pending and two
more threatened. Some of these it was
said the city either . would lose or
have to make settlement on.
Being determined on keeping the
city's expenses down to the least .figure
possible, the finance committee cut off
the salary of the engineering depart
ment and substituted the custom which
is followed in some other cities of
assessing the engineering work to the
improvements, making the uniform

The Very Rev. Walter T. Sumner.
The consent of the Episcopal
bishops to the election of the
Rev. W. T. Sumner, D. D., as
bishop of Oregon, has been given
and the only formality that re
mains is the consecration of the
bishop-elect. Dean Sumner has
expressed a wish that this might
be arranged for January 6, which
Is the festival of Epiphany, but
as the consent of the bishops has

Marshfield expenditures for 1915,
under the most favorable circum

probably $55,000, and the budget will

The Store That
Is to Be
Looking back 20 or 25 years
Is perhaps a far cry. but, as I
Journeyed homeward from
Grand Kaplds, thoughts of the
old, old store of long ago came
back to me the store where I
and my brothers played when
we were little boys the store
with the old heating stove In
the center of the room' where
the neighborhood used to gather
in the evening to talk over the
day's events. Even in those
days I remember it was my
youthful ambition some day to
own a bigger, finer store than
anyone else.
All at once the thought came
to me that a boy's youthful
dreams were about to be real
ized. The bigness the vast
ness represented by car after
car of furniture soon to be
speeding westward and dis
played in a great eight - Ftory
building of concrete and steel
where everybody might come
and see, seemed even to exceed

aspirations! Came also the
thought that with Increased
power for service would come
increased responsibilities came
also the determination that the
Greater Jenning Store should be
indeed the realization of an
ideal; an ideal ever young
ever potent for the public good!

in the city to assume his musical

Mr. Owen might be classed as

the more congenial occupation
of orchestral- work and composi

I shall always remember the 3d of Au
gust," he writes. "When we heard in
the morning that the Germans had oc
cupied the railway station in the cap
ital city of Luxemburg that was the
last news we got. That was the end
of everything! For a long time we
received no newspaper, no letter
nothing at all. No train was allowed
to move, nobody could go from one vil
lage to another without a pass. All
the factories came to a sudden stand
still, and still are Idle.
Salt Jumps. Bntter Drops.
"All business stopped at once. What
we did not already have vo could not
buy, and what we did have we could
not sell. Salt, for instance, went up
in two days from 2 cents a pound to
IS cents a pound, and at last there was
none to be had at alL Butter dropped
from 34 cents to IS cents a pound in
two days because there was no market
lor it.
"Now things are a little better. Our
government receives from the German
government salt, coffee, etc.. and then
distributes them among the people. But
still there is no work done. The fac
tories are still idle and there is n
commerce of any sort."
Speaking of the 14-day march
through Luxemburg he says:
"One must have seen such a thing to
imagine what it is like. It Is impos
sible to - imagine what numbers of
horses, wagons, cannon, flying ma
chines, railroad trains and auto trucks
passed through our village during this
time. Our fine streeis were torn up
by this tremendous vif fie

"And then the quartering soldiers. At
times we had to provide quarters for
30 to 40 horses and as many men. In
the evening every square in the village
was full of cannon, automobiles, fly
ing machines and trucks so that no
one had room to move out of his own
house.
"Bringing In the grain crop could
not even be thought of during - that
time. Everything was bought up at a
high price and paid for, too. For in
stances, I sold oats to the German
troops for $3.63 a hundred. They paid
$300 for a horse that would not fetch
$200 In the market; and they paid cash.
At last we had nothing lett but the
barest necessities."
After the troops left they were able
to complete their harvest, though

battlefield. The thunder of the 22

Kremer. 100 kilometers away.
"We have nothing to say against the
soldiers they treated us very decent
ly. But we were good to them, too.
The individual soldier is -not responsi
