THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, MAT 28, 1916. STATE LOANS AGAIN ARE IDAHO ISSUE FOUR STUDENTS OF ONE ALBANY FAMILY WHO GRADUATE SIMULTANEOUSLY FROM ONE CLASS. HIGH SCHOOL FOR TEACHERS IS PLAN Save Money Auditor Accused of Getting $19,000 on Lands He Had Owned Formerly. University of Oregon to Com mence V(ith Three of Six Grades in Fall. MONEY WELL PROTECTED PRACTICAL SCIENCE IS AIM Hart Schaf'iher L cLMarx J Captain Iavis, Candidate for Gov ernor, Slakes Charges and Says Applicant Placed Value on Some of Property Himself. HOISE, Idaho, May 27. (Special.) The unsavory subject of state loans Is again taunting members of the State Land Board, giving promise of becom ing one of the real political issues of the primary campaign. State Auditor Huston is the center of fire, and the ttatehouse is ringing with charges and counter charges. Captain E. G. Davis, one of the sev eral Republican aspirants for guberna torial honors, fired the fuse to the political bomb under the Land Board. Political loans were the feature of the campaign two years ago. O. V. Allen, defaulting State Treasurer, was the principal. Now the State Auditor appears to be. The contrast between the two Inci dents is that in the Allen dummy loan the state lost 8000, while in the Hus ton loan it is apparent the state has lost nothing, and has ample security for the $14,000 it lent on lands that formerly belonged to Mr. Huston and which he transferred to others to save the land from being sold for delinquent taxes. Foar Lung "" Are Granted. The alleged facts are these: Mr. Huston presented to the Land Board four applications for loans. They were allowed, and the following day war rants for $19,000 were drawn. The warrants were as follows: John S. Scott, $4000, security 100 acres of land; P. W. Williams, $5000, security 160 acres; Luther A. Huston, $5000, security 160 acres; Thomas M. Will iams. $5000, security 160 acres. The land taken as security by the state is in Bonneville County. The Board has a rule that applica tions for loans must be accompanied by 1 per cent of the amount applied for. In the case of the Huston loans the state waived collection of the 1 per cent, amounting to $190, but after the exposure rescinded its action and de cided to collect it. AVarrantm Given to Auditor. The warrants drawn on the state treasury were taken to Idaho Falls by .board was ordered to send the ab stracts to the Farmers & Traders Bank at Idaho Falls with instructions to hold them in escrow until title to the property had been cleared, except for the mortgages given by the state. He says that, as State Auditor Huston was going to Idaho Falls, he delivered the warrants to him addressed to the bank. The bank says it never received in structions to hold the warrants in es crow. Mr. Huston admits he presented the warrants to the bank. The warrants were paid February 28, 1916, before the abstracts were approved, it is alleged. The Assessor of Bonneville County says the land on which the loans were secured was last assessed at $23.61 per acre, and the total assessed valuation of the land is $9916.20. The basis on which the state lent the money was a valuation of $33.33 per acre. Mr. Huston is charged with apprais ing two of the pieces of land himself, while the third piece was appraised by the Land Commissioner without neeine- the land. Captain Davis charges. Linn Man Has 2 Nominations Which He Cannot Use. Republican Defeated on Own Ticket Leads in Democratic and Prottrrea- lve Race Others Have Similar Kxperlences. ALBANY, Or., May 27. (Special.) Alfred L. Geddes, County Sur veyor of Linn County, has two nominations for re-election which he cannot use. In the recent primaries his name was written in for both the Democratic and " Progressive nomina tions, but he lost out in the Republi can primaries, the party of which he is a registered member, so he cannot accept the other nominations by virtue of the new law. He says he would not accept them anyway, since he did not receive the Republican nomination. In the Republican primaries Charles H. Leonard won the nomination for Surveyor in a three-cornered race, in which Wren C. Crews was also a can didate. The unofficial returns disclosed that while the names of all three Re publican candidates had been written in on Democratic ballots, Geddes had received that nomination. The official canvass of the vote yesterday showed, that he had won the Progressive nom ination, too. Two other men who were defeated in the Republican primaries received the Progressive indorsement for the of fices for which they were candidates in the Republican primaries. They are N. M. Newport, of Lebanon, for Repre sentative, and W. E. Chrisman, of Scio, for County Commissioner. 28 IN KLAMATH CLASS Dr. Ie Busk, ol University of Ore gon, Commencement Speaker.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis, May 27. (Special.) Approximately $102,000 will be added to the value of the dairy products of two sections of the state as the result of the purchase and use of 11 pure-bred sires which have been selected by extension representatives of the college staff, ac cording to estimates made by W. A. Barr in his report to the director of the college extension service. These sires are all from high-producing cows. The average production of the cows of the association to which they have been sent is 240 pounds of outteriat per year. "We can conservatively estimate, says Mr. Barr, "an Increased production of 15 per cent, or 33 pounds of butter fat, from the daughters of these cows. There will be approximately 225 heif ers sired by these imported animals added to the herds each year. Thus, during eight years, which is generally considered as the working life of a dairy cow. these animals will produce 36 pounds more of butterfat each year than their dam, or a total of 408,000 pounds, which at an average price of only za cents per pound would be worth 102.00." These animals were purchased by buy ers in Coos and Lane counties; eight or tne animals went to Coos County ana tnree to western Lane County.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, May 27. (Special.) Having several distinct features, the university will establish a high school in connection with the university at the beginning of the college year next Fall. The pur pose of this is for the training of teachers. At present onv work in the , seventh, eighth and ninth grades wilj be offered, and the higher grades will J be added until six years of work are i included. The ideas of the faculty are yttrtiuiiy set uul as loiiows; Each year from 50 to 75 graduates go out to teach in the high schools of the state. An essential for the proper preparation of these teachers is the opportunity for observation of skilful teaching which demonstrates the best principles of modern pedagogy, with critical interpretation of what is seen. This should be followed by a period of teaching under careful supervision, thus giving the prospective teacher op portunity to put into practice the prin ciples which have been demonstrated or worked out theoretically. "Opportunities for "such work can be satisfactorily provided only in a school organized and administered for this purpose, easily accessible, well equipped and directed by specially trained teach ers. Many universities, such as Cali fornia, Wyoming, Missouri, Wisconsin, Chicago and Columbia, have established university high schools, with the direct result of obtaining higher degree of efficiency in the high school teachers whom they train. The curriculum for each student will call for continued application for several consecutive years to each of the main "cores' of instruction, since thorough knowledge of efficiency in any field cannot be procured through a Wide use of the elective principle. Thus, the student in a foreign lan guage will pursue his work through six years, or long enough to attain a real proficiency in the language, and the student in science will be -given five years of consistent work, enougn to insure a. fairly comprehensive knowledge, as well as to develop a real scientific attitude."
