UNIVERSITY OK OREGON, Eugene,
July 3. (Special.) The last Leg
islature to appropriate for the
University before the mlllagre bill went
into effect, also prescribed a building
policy for the institution. Tinder the
terms of the law, the resents were not
to use the money to spread out as far
as possible in much-needed floor space,
but were to erect "a fire-proof adminis
tration and classroom building."
The belief that the Oregon institu
tion had come to the end of the period
of educational animosities and bitter
ness, and could now look forward to
steady growth, led to the order to btlild
a. structure of permanent nature.
The first fruits of the new building
policy are at hand today. Johnson
llall. the new building, is finished, and
next week the following departments
will be established in their new home:
Geology, mathematics, public speaking.
Greek. . Condon . ilu.eum. extension di
vision, dean of college of letters and
science, dean of . women. . registrar
business manager, faculty stenogra
phers and President P. L. Campbell. In
addition class room space is left for
one or two more departments of in
struction not yet decided upon. Presi
dent Campbell will make the final as
signments this week. Most of the
museum material, records, etc.. will be
jrathered into this building for protec
tion. Lecture Hall aired Is Felt.
The most deeply felt need that the
new building will supply, according to
the administration, will be the need
for a lecture-room much larger than J
any existing lecture-room, but not so
large as the vast spaces of the Vitlard
auditorium, which always have the ef
fect of appalling a speaker who at
tempts to address any audience which
is too large for one of the lit
tle class-rooms, but are not large
enough to fill the great ball. The
new lecture-room, which will go under
the name of "Guild Hall." is declared
a. niodel of architectural excellence.
There is a steep slope to the floor, so
that the lecturer will look into every
face in the audience and every auditor
will see the lecturer plainly. The mas
sive concrete walls absorb every sound
without sending back the slighest trace
of an echo.
The neutral tints of the walls and
furnishings offer not the least dis
traction to the attention. The com
fortable seats, which are designed es
pecially to leave plenty of room for
the knees and elbows, are expected to
make the auditor almost unconscious
of bodily existence. This hall will be
In charge of the department of public
speaking, but it is expected by the
administration that it will be used by
other departments to on extent that
will make it the most completely and
usefully occupied room in the whole
university, " excepting perhaps the li

The second floor of the building is
designed in a way which it is expected
will save two whole - days of college
work every year. A large rotunda is
left in the center where students make
out their cards at the beginning of
each semester, and there are plenty of
windows connected with the offices in
such a way that it is hoped that all
registration can be done In one day
instead of spoiling the better part of
a university week, as is the custom at
present. The new quarters are here for
the extension department and an effort
has been made to bring together all
administrative business under this sin
gle roof. President, deans, registrar
and business manager are all in close
touch and whenever the student has
official business with the university he
will be able to get prompt attention
without the present Inconvenience of
searching around for the prorper offi
cials. The moving into this building will
leave Villard hall completely ' empty.
Superintendent fisher expects at once
to begtn remodeling the office floor of
Villard hall for classroom purposes. It
has not yet been decided what depart
ments shall occupy these new class
rooms. The little building known as
extension hall also will be left vacant.
The department of journalism will ex

ture room now being devoted to a
SCHOOL GARDEN WORK
IN YEAR IS OUTLINED
Director Weed in Report Points Out That 37 Tracts Were Cultivated by
2560 Pupils Suggestions for Development Made.
OWARD EVARTS WEED, director
of school gardens and . nature
study, has presented his annual
report to L. It. Alderman. Superinten
dent of Schools. Mr. 'Weed reviews
the work of the last year among the
grade school pupils and makes sorre
pointed suggestions for future devel
opment of the school garden a-.-tivity
in Portland. In part the report reads.
"During November and December I
had the ground that was to V.: used
for gardens plowed and fertilized. The
Failing and Llewellyn School gardens
were relocated on school property.
Later this was also done in case cf
Fulton Park. New ground ob
tained for the Woodlawn garden and
three new gardens were established
Eastmoreland Alameda and Beaumont
as -
small printing plant, and other depart
ments will be shifted.
.However, all indications are for so
decided an increase in the size of the
student body in September that the con
dition of overcrowding Is expected to
be almost as bad as it has been up to
this time. The regents are using every
effort to hasten construction of the
first wing uf the next building, for
which they were able to aet aside $40,
000 by economizing on salaries, rutting
down the printing plant to a mere first
beginning, postponing the construction
of the new athletic field and trimming
tbe cducatonal budget in other ways.
The next new building will not be
of the sturdy construction which the
legislature prescribed for Johnson
Hall. Jt is the plan to use Johnson Hall
more and more for the preservation of
perishable properties, and on future
buildings for the next few years It will
be the purpose to cover as much spare
with the least money consistent with
honest standards find permanent con
struction. These buildings will be of
the slow-burning rather than of the
absolutely fireproof type of Johnson
Hall.
The building which Is completed to
day was umni by the rezents at their
last meeting aftT the first president of
the University, J. W. Johnson, and not
after the present business manager,
who will be one of the most important
occupants. The students. however,
take a certain delight In obscuring this
fact, putting it all up to II. John
son, who is the man who keeps the
University's financial credit on a spot
cash. Al basis.
"Some schools which had gardens
last year for various reasons desired
none this year. Thus the garden for
the Chapman School. be.n seven
blocks from, the school building
was discontinued. The Arleta f-jhool
had such a 'farm' last year that it took
all the time of the principal. tMclitm
and pupils to care for It. greatlv to
the detriment of the regular cchool
work. So this yar the Pareni-Tcach-er
Assoc'ation asked that It h dis
continued and the same effort pet into
community beautlf ication and the
home gardens.
37 Gsniria Operated.
"There has been a total of 37 school
gardens this year, with 2060 pupils in
terested. "Early In March the garden ground
waa harrowed and disked and In some
cases rcplowcd. so as to put tli soli
Into condition for planting. The gar
dens' were staked out Into beds, gen
erally 10 by 2 4 feet, with a two-foot
path between. For the younger pu
pils this 10-by-20 plot was further di
vided into four gardens & by 10, this
being as much ground as the younsrer
pupils will care for throughout the
season. The older pupils were gen
erally given as much ground as It w as
thought they would use to advantage.
"One change thla year from last con
sisted In not having tbe paths between
the beds excavated. This change in
detail was an Improvement which re
sulted in greater simplicity and a con
servation of the soil moisture. Th4
paths between the beds soon became
tramped down enough to outline the
beds. Also this year all the stakes
were set In place for the proper laying
out of the gardens, thus .relieving the
principals and teachers of all work
preliminary to planting.
"The gardena were planted either
Just before or just after the Spring
vacation, those planted early making
the best showing before the close of
the school year. It was Impossible for
me to help In the planting of all the
gardens, so I gave assistance where it
was most needed by principals and
teachers Inexperienced in thla work.
Little Hckwl Time Takes I .
"This year the only school time
taken up by the garden work was ton
hours during the planting. I found
much complaint by principals and
teachers at the-amount of school time
taken up by the gardens last year. I
also found that a great deal of the
actual work In the gardens has here
tofore been done by the principals and
teachers. Personally I fail to see any
educational value to the pupils unless
the garden work Is actually done by
the pupils. So this year 1 have asked
the principals and teachers only to en
courage the pupils In their garden
work to create a sense of proprietor
ship and responsibility In each pupil
for the results obtained.
Last year the pupils, teachers and
principals worked the gardens seem
ingly with the one object of obtain
ing a prize. The party owning the
land for one of the gardens refused to
give the land this year because the
school took no prize with their gar
den last year. I have felt that the pri
mary object of the school gardens
must be educational In character, the
teaching of the city child the ARC
of agriculture. Hut where prizes are
held up as the goal, the pupils get
wrong Ideas as to the object of the
gardens. Then again I -fall to see how
one school can compete against others
In a city-wide contest, owing to the
soli and other conditions affecting the
results. I therefore announced at the
beginning of my work that there
would be no clty-wlde prizes offered
this year and the principals concurred
in this change. Ribbons were given.
however, at various schools at the
close of the term to those pupils who
had the best things In their respective
gardens.

"Emerson has said. 'Any a rest In
stitution Is but the lengthened shadow
of some one man.' So It la with a
school or a school garden. They are
good or Indifferent, largely depend
ing upon the enthusiasm shown by
the principals. With tin enthusiastic
prlmipul. there Is no trouble In hav
ing a good garden and no complaint
about the garden being a burden, 'no
place in school work.' etc.
The Montavitla garden has been
the best and - most complete of all.
Llewellyn and Ulenhaven have been
fine, equally as good as Montavllla.
but smaller. Llewellyn has made ex
cellent use of the garden produce In
the school lunches. Three gardena.
Sellwood. Brooklyn and Couch, were
not as good. as they should have been,
through no fault of the principals, bat
because the ground was plowed when
too wet. a thing that I cautioned the
plowmen about especially. The three
new gardens. Beaumont. Alameda and
Eastmoreland, were all that could be
expected from such young children,
only the first two grades, and I would
recommend that they be continued.
"There was only one garden that I
considered a failure. Woodlawn. es
pecially noticeable because of its ex
cellence heretofore. It was not pos
sible to obtain the same ground pre
viously used for the garden. But a
new location 100 by JOO was obtained
Just across the road from the school
building. .This land was plowed, sub
soiled and fertilized and worked up in
fair condition;, so that early In the
season there was every prospect of the
school having a good garden. Hut at
planting time the school organization
became disorganized and neither the
principal nor teachers took any Interest
In the matter. Later the principal
gave out plots to any pupiia that de
sired a garden, but owing to the late
ness of the season not all the garden
space was taken. Another year I trust
that this school may have as good a
garden as ever.
me Kcheola Specialise.
"Some of the gardens have been
planted to some special crops. Tbe
pupils of the . Stephens School have
continued to specialize In popcorn, and
this year have also Introduced a new
variety of sweet corn, the W. J. ii..
a variety originating In Western
Washington a few years ago. The
Glenco S hool garden la planted en
tirely to flax, with what muthx can
not be stated at present. The Mult
nomah garden la planted entirely to
beans, the pupils and parents agree
ing to work the garden on each Mon
day during vacation In order to har
vest the crop. .
"The pupils have been encouraged
to have home gardena this year more
than ever. The community school
garden does not and should not tnke
the place of the home garden. The
school garden Is primarily for those
pupils who do not have the advantage
of the home garden. There Is a grow
ing tendency among city people to
have no home gardens and this has
added materially to the high cost of
living. The school garden should be
an Incentive for the home gardn.
"Early In the season most of the
principals gave out slips to be flllrd
out as to the number having home gar
dens. A tabulation of the returns from
these slips show a total of 6ii pupils
having home gardens. The returns by
districts were of Interest, showing most
of the gardens In the outlying dis
tricts of the city. Thus the Davis school
reported 12 home gardens, while Ar
leta reported S00.
Tot CSBaates Fstrssrd.
"In many of -the schools the young
gardeners are organized Into garden
clubs for the promotion of the work. In
two districts, Brooklyn and Clinton
Kelly, the boys are organized Into lx k
companies and Ihry have planted the
vacant lots to potatoes and othr prod
ucts. In this way each boy Is given
credit for the number of hours' work
which he contributes and at the close
of the season the profits are divided in
proportion to the amount of work con
tributed. To my notion, this stock com
pany arrangement is Ideal. It Is con
structive, educational and in every way
worth while In that It teaches book
keeping and practical management of
affairs as well aa gardening.
"In some of the gardens the produce
has been stolen Just as the pupils were
about to harvest the fruits of their la
bor. Shaver and Capitol HIM suffered
severely in this respect. Upon the
whole, however, this discouraging fea
ture has not been so prominent this
year as last.
"1 have encouraged the pupils to
take their produce home as soon as
ready, for 1 have wanted them to fel
that it Is their garden, and the prod
uce belongs to them to dispose of as
they may see fit.

SEVEN hundred and twenty-four
. students began a aiege or alx
weeks' hard study In the vacation High
School last Monday. In the Lincoln
High School building. Students from
St. Johns and out-of-town high schools
are attending In large numbers. The
Vacation High School Is conducted on
the same plan as the regular High
Schools. There are six periods of 4i
minutes each, beginning in the morn

quired to remain during vacant periods,
but may come In time for class recita
tion and leave when this is finished.
As the Vacation School Is only for
workers .who are trying to make up
lost time, the tescher take no notice
of misconduct. If a pupil does not be

pupil's own loss.

best to have the garden supervisor

It would mean more work tor the
supervisor, but less work for the prin

dollars spent for seed would be all that
is needed and better results could be
obtained because of the purchase of

The Campfire Girls from Franklin
commercial department met at the
home of Miss Collier last Friday for an
evening around the fireside. Refresh
ments were served and some of the
girls Indulged In dan.lns. Only one
boy was present, and he was Informed
that the "open sesame" for him at the
next meeting would he that he should
ore 'n white, trousers and middy
blouse. The Campfire Girls receive a
bead for certain tasks performed, and
they surely are workers, for some of
them have several yards In strings or
beads.
