been arranged by the school .uthorl-
tles.
Basing- Its curriculum upon the most
advanced Ideas of authorities here and
overseas, medical training Is given
pre-eminence. Special courses in me
chanics and surgery, followed by ex
tensive clinical practice and observa
tion In the infirmary, supplement the
medical education. Four years are re
quired to complete the course under
normal conditions.
With the increased demand for
trained pharmacists, the work of this
department at the college has become
of rising Importance. Two and three
year courses are offered. These courses
have been made to conform to the mod
ern developments along the lines of
real medical service.
Two-thirds of the states of the Union,
many Canadian ' provinces and foreign
countries were represented in last
year's enrollment.
Hllili LOOKS FOR. BIG SEASON
Military Academy - Alumni Taking
Ble Part in War Work.
With Its graduates winning commis
sions at several officers' training
schools and many already In active
service overseas. Hill Military Academy
Is looking forward to a heavy enroll
ment this Fall. Many letters received
from former students testify to the
part that the academy had in preparing
them for the discipline and action of
Army life.
The school not only provides an ade
quate academic training, but has de
partments for primary and intermedi
ate pupils.
Most of the Hill faculty are Tale
graduates. Preparation for college
work of the best character is not lost
sight of in the military training.
Moral education is another prominent
feature of Hill life. Football, baseball
and other popular sports are encour
aged, but are not allowed to Interfere
with drill or school work. The social
side Is taken care of through frequent
dances, chaperoned by Portland society
matrons.
MILITARY ACADEMY MEN' RISE
Seventy-One of158 Entering Service
Have Won Commissions.
Seventy-one of the 168 Mount Tamil
pals Military Academy men in the ser
vice have won -commissions, according
to late figures gathered by the lnstl
tution. One of the three California
schools given Class A scholarship rat
ing by the state university, the acad
emy is also accredited to West Point.
The war department Inspector in his
May report said that the school "is
undoubtedly the best In the Western
department in variety of instruction
and training.
The military department of the
school features cavalry, infantry and
mounted artillery, the only school west
ol culver doing this.
A promised Increase of 40 per cent
In enrollment has kept the rates of the
institution at the former leveL
AR work and Its manifold needs aides was conducted early this year
TTT
Whave taken a quick, viselike grip
on the activities and alms of
the colleges and universities of the
state In the past 15 months. Led by the
University of Oregon, Oregon Agri
cultural College and Reed College, all
Institutions are responding nobly to the
call of the Nation lor leaders in essen
tial industries and military fields.
Thousands of college men In the state
have answered the call to arms and
thousands of others are keeping the
Industrial and economic machine behind
, the lines up to maximum efficiency.
Etlll more are aiding more directly with
active work In war drives and campaigns.
War Training Held First.
Adapting lta Industrial and military
training machinery directly to warj
needs, Oregon Agricultural College has '
contributed hundreds of leaders in
every phase of war activity and is ac
celerating work in many departments
In order to be of increased service In
the present crisis. Practical efficiency
has dictated that all of the moves of
the school in the past year be in the
direction of National service.
Overanxiety to serve their country
has impaired the future usefulness of
many students, according to officers of
the institution, who are endeavoring to
complete the training of every student
before releasing them for actual work.
Unlimited opportunities for serving in
their chosen line at tempting rates of
pay is responsible for the condition. It
Is believed.
Kindred Lines Valuable.
While those trained In military tac
tics, engineering and agriculture have
been of the most direct service In the
war programme, others with thorough
education in commercial lines, mining,
pharmacy and forestry have been
strengthening the second line of de-
Tm, really needed In this shop,"
wrote an Oregon Agricultural College
sophomore back to another student,
anxious to . line up men for the next
year. "It's not 'altogether a question
of money, though I think of that, too,
but they tell me that I'm absolutely
necessary to the business.
This is a condition frequently found
among college-trained men ' In ' war
times and one that merits serious con
' elderation by educators Interested In
making their. efforts help win the war.
University Students I,oyal.
' The University of Oregon, with more
than 1000 graduates and former etu
dents in the service, daily is entering
more directly Into the swirl of war
preparations. Designation of the school
as a Reserve Officers . Training Corps
has heightened the already-strong war
atmosphere of the campus. Men are
now being fitted for military work of
all kinds and under modern conditions.
A cadet corps for younger students is
planned for the regular term as
means of preparing them for Army as-
Elgnments when they become of age,
At both state schools women are do
ing more than their share of the war
work. While their work in food-saving
and home conservation is of most lm
portance, they have entered largely in
to activities, such as demonstrations
of foods and war nursing. Forestry
service as lookouts for fires alsohas
attracted a limited number.
Food Courses Important
Food courses and other classes In
the home economics department have
been adapted almost - entirely to the
exigencies of the war programme.
Young women " graduating from this
department are taught to go out as
emissaries In small communities to
spread, the doctrine of saving meats,
sugar, wheat and fats for the fighting
men at the front. Methods of utilizing
kitchen waste and of using labor-eav--
ing devices are demonstrated by these
Young women at Reed Colfege early
enlisted in war service when they
helped the Food Administration to lay
out the city for the food-saving pledge
campaign conducted last year.
Reconstruction Worlc Expands.
The dining-room at the Portland In
stltution has been on a war basis Blnce
the early days of the conflict and the
Government has been gone one better
by the adoption of wheatless weeks
and many new meat-saving dishes.
An intensified course on the use of
substitutes was part of the curriculum
last year.
Reconstruction ' work has from the
beginning been Identified with Reed
- College. A eciiooi or. reconstruction
and another now Is in progress.
Women have devoted practically all
of their outside activities to the war
pragramme. Class days and other fes
tivities have been foregone in favor
of Red Cross, work or other war ac
tivity. Portland Schools Active.
Other Portland educational Institu
tions that are lending their resources
to Uncle Sam for war purposes are
Hill Military Academy and the Benson
Polytechnic School. The former by Its
careful military training methods has
furnished many capable soldiers and
officers in the Army, while the latter
loaned Its extensive equipment for the
training of the draft men in industrial
lines.
The public schools throughout the
state have co-operated with war work
leaders in every patriotic campaign,
the complete organization of teachers
and pupils being utilized especially for
Red Cross and food-saving drives.
Other colleges in the state and
Northwest everywhere have adapted
their educational programme to the
needs of the situation and are form
ing a strong link in the Nation's chain
of educational and Informational ac
tivity. Serious Situation Looms.
Facing a serious situation Internally
because of the shortage of young men.
the colleges are striving to keep their
regular departments In recognizable
shape for after-the-war training. Ris
ing to the present occasion nobly, the
institutions are also looking ahead and,
as always, are acting aj leaders of
thought and action for reconstruction
work. The recent commonwealth con
ference of the University of Oregon
confined its attention to the questions
of taking care of the soldier upon his
return and to present war problems.
Housing, land settlement, food pro
duction, care of the crippled these are
some of the problems being considered
in connection with the building-up
period that Is to come soon. '
O. A C. BENDS ENERGIES TO
MEETING NATIONS WAR NEEDS
Military Training ' and Scientific Courses Grow in Number as Institution
Mobilizes Its Resources.
w
Ing Increase from month - to
month at . the Oregon Agricul
tural College. The entire Institution
Is bending its resources to the winning
ef the war. Not a school or depart
ment has failed to feel the Impulse of
tne great current or military eiiori
surging through the country the past
IS months.
The women of the College, not only
in home economics, but in the schools
of pharmacy and commerce, have awak
ened to the need of making their train
ing count for something in furthering
the war alms of the National Government
The college, as a product of national
legislation designed to help the nation
at all times, was from the start adapted
to the needs of mobilization.'. With the
coming of war came many necessary
changes and readjustments . that have
helped to fit the students lor the duties
demanded of them.
Industrial Work Calls.
In Industrial work as well as the
military have the young men and
women responded to the call of the
nation. Some, perhaps too eager to
capitalize their training, have jumped
into Jobs before their training was com
plete a course that may endanger
their future usefulness to the country.
Heeding the advice of Dean Q. W.
Peavy, of the School of Forestry, that
they remain In school until their edu
cation was complete, forestry students
have been uniformly successful in en
tering war service. Two now are Cap
tains, eleven First Lieutenants, ten
Second Lieutenants, and many others
have won distinction at the front.
Other departments are as busy In
national service. Engineers civil, me
chanical, electrical, hydraulic, chemical.
highway, mining, ceramic and experi
mental are all busy in behalf of the
Government. Erection of training
camps, building railroads, constructing
harbors, extending lines of communi
cation, assaying ores and analyzing
and testing materials are some of their
activities.
Draft Men May . Study Ob.
As an encouragement to. engineers,
the War Department has granted fur
loughs to those in . the draft, so that
they-complete their school courses. -
Women graduates ; serving as home
demonstration agents in various coun
ties are among conspicuous examples
of students who are. putting to test
their college training and linking It up
with the winning of the war.
Use of wheat and meat substitutes
and of household accounts and labor
saving equipment, is being urged by
these women. Some are using their
training in dietetics and institutional
management in war hospitals here and
abroad.. ; Others are giving canning
demonstrations In rural communities
and doing special work In orchards,
canneries and evaporators. : Pharmacy,
accounting,; nursing, .farming and for
estry lookouts are among women s
jobs, t------ ---5" .. .

struction are strong points at Miss
Decker's private business college In
the Alisky Building. Stressed at the
present time is the training for re
sponsible Oovernment positions, for
which there Is such a scarcity of ap
plicants. .
The touch system of typewriting and

among the most popular courses at the
school. Instruction in bookkeeping is
based on actual business practice with
business forms, such as Invoices, notes

Men Seat For Special Tralnlnc
The War Department is sending hun
dreds of -men to the college for limited
Intensive training in shop work, radio
and auto service. These men lack the
broad foundational training of the reg
ular course men, but they are gaining
some industrial efficiency that will
make them valuable to the Govern
ment. "The call for our students. In Indus
try as well as military pursuits. Is
creating a serious condition," said
President Kerr. "Unless large numbers
of new students replace those who have
gone Into military service, and unless
former students finish their college
work, the institution will be- handi
capped in meeting Its obligations to
state and nation. Young men and
women should realize that thev are
performing a patriotic service by com
ing here for industrial and scientific
training that will fit them for leader
ship In many lines of war activity."
