THE SUNDAY OREGOXIA. PORTLAND; JULY 20, 1919.
ACK-TO-THE-SCHOOL" MOVEMENT FOR FALL
TERM GATHERS IMPETUS WITH WARS ENDING
Students and Faculty United in Return Now That Call of Country Is Answered, and. Though New Courses Show
Results of Conflict, Barrack-Like Looks disappear.
THAT this will be a banner year in
the annals of Oregon's educational
institutions is the opinion of those
connected with the state schools of
higher learning. Everywhere faculties
are being increased and preparations
are being made to handle a greatly ex
panded student body when the Septem
ber term opens.
Where war activities were stressed
last year studies along reconstructive
lines will take their place.
Hundreds of men who saw service In
the army and navy will flock back
to the colleges and state university to
resume the work which they left so
willingly when the call to arms came.
They will find the old campus back on
peace-time basis, their fraternity houses
will not be dormitories and their gym
nasiums will not be barracks.
Their former professors who enlisted
in government service will return with
them and the man who in 1918 was
studying in an ordnance school or
inarching in the S. A. T. C. can go back
to his chemistry or commerce or en
gineering on the same old basis.
There is still an echo Vf the military
work at Oregon Agricultural college,
where infantry, field artillery, motor
transport, engineer and signal corps
units are to be maintained at the ex
pense of the government. However,
the school has not forgotten its prime
purpose and agriculture will receive
much attention. Modern . farm me
chanics will probably be more popular
than ever.
The University of Oregon is now
boosting for its brand new school of
sociology, a long-hoped for acquisition.
By enlarging the former department
and bringing to it several new instruc
tors this change has been accomplished
and the school will be launched with
a faculty of five members.
Kugene will also continue its R. O.
T. C. and motor transport corps so that
those boys who are still interested in
military activities may continue to
keep in touch with them.
With the new compulsory physical
training law effective in the elemen
tary schools of the state an increased
demand for specially-equipped instruc
tors will exist. On this account it is
not unlikely that greater interest in
physical culture courses will be
evinced, as many young men and women
are planning to train themselves for
these positions and for places as play
ground supervisors.
Normal schools and those with ed
ucation departments are due to become
wore popular on account of the great
shortage of teachers. Better pay makes
this profession more attractive to young
men and women.
The movement to foster continuance
of education is based on sound eco
nomic grounds. It has been shown
repeatedly by educational statisticians
that earning power bears a direct re
lation to schooling. The youth who
leaves school with no more than an
eighth grade to his credit has smaller
total earnings to ifls credit by the time
he is 22 yars old than the one who
takes time to go through college and
by the time he is 25 the latter has
an average earning power o,f $6 a week
greater than his comparatively un
schooled brother. Advancement after
that period is all in favor of the man

who laid the educational foundation.
This is quite apart from the question
which enjoys life the more. .
Summer schools, now in session, are
the response to demand for speeding
up education as a whole, and for oppor
tunity to gain advancement by those
who cannot give an entire year to ed
ucation. ' The tendency in many states
to insist on continuation schools for
those who, although they may have
passed the legal age of compulsory
school attendance have not made a de
sirable grade, also indicate the trend
of educational thought. The federal
bureau of education in conducting a
vigorous campaign to "keep the boys
and girls in school, .-based almost
wholly on economic grounds. It is the
hope of thoughtful men that youths
will not be lured by the prospect of
temporarily high wages into making a
sacrifice of their permanent earning
power which is sure to be reflected in
later inadequacy to demands upon them
and in dissatisfaction with the jobs
which they may be compelled to take.
And so, "Back to school" is the motto
that will be uppermost in the minds of
educators and parents and in anticipa
tion of this both public and private in
stitutions are preparing to offer every
Inducement possible to co-operate with
the movement. There are the military
academies and the R. O. T. C. for those
whose tastes run to khaki, but In the
main, emphasis is to be laid on tht
making of agricultural, mechanical and
business experts, men and women who.
will be homebuilders rather than con
tributors of the general unrest of the
country. ... VBfV!

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON PLANS
TO HANDLE LARGE ENROLLMENT
Many New Members Are Added to Faculty and Large Number of Those
Who Engaged in War Work Are Now Back in Eugene.
WITH preparations belne; made to
handle the largest enrollment
in the history of the University
of Oregon, many new members have
been added to the faculty and a. large
number of those who' engaged in war
work are back in their places, so that
an unusually strong teaching force Is
assured.
The department of sociology has
been raised to the status of a school,
with the addition of Dr. J. Franklin
'Thomas, late of the University of
Washington, and Dr. E. C. Kobbins,
from the University of Minnesota, a
former member of the Oregon faculty,
as added members of the staff. Dr.
Thomas will be in charge of socio-
logical research work and advanced
classes in Portland, and will work
there in practical co-operation with the
home service braxicb. of the Ited Cross
In social relief.
The economics and sociology staff
Will consist of five members.
The faculty of the school of law,
whose work was greatly reduced dur
ing the war, owing to the deflection
into the war of every male student in
the school, has been built up by the
addition of two strong young men as
professors and by thev return of Dr.
J. D. Harnett as professor of public
law.
The school of commerce, under Dean
D. Walter Morton, has been strength
ened by the return of Captain Allen C.
Hopkins, who is back from service in
France and Belgium, and by other ad
ditions to the teaching staff.
The school of Journalism is looking
forward to the return of Professor
Colin V. Dyment, who, besides his
duties in the extension division 1n
Portland, will give a number of lec
tures in journalism each week on the
campus at Kugene. .
Several other departments will gain
by the return of faculty members who
have been absent in war work or other
outside activity during the last year.
Among these are Professor O. F. Staf
ford, head of the department of chem
istry, away on leave making some Im
portant experiments in wood distilla
tion in connection with a discovery of
his in that line; Dr. Joseph Schafer,
bead of the department of history, who
has been doing research work during
the last year for the National Board
for Historical Service, under the gen
eral direction of the committee on pub
lic information: and Professor F. S.
Dunn, head of the department of Latin,
who for the last year has been engaged
in Y. C. A. educational work, most
of it in Italy.
Graduate work in the university is
being more than ever encouraged.
Fifteen teaching fellowships and grad
uate assistantships are being awarded
this summer, for the next year. These
will pay the students' entire expenses
while giving them approximately half
time for the pursuit of studies leading
to advanced degrees.
COLUMBIA ENLARGES FACUXTY
Local University to Reopen Xliis
Year W'itb Xew Staff.
Columbia university of this city is
preparing to make the coming school
year the most successful in its history.
A learned group of educators from
Notre Dame university has been added
to the faculty, among them Rev. Eugene
P. Burke. C. S. C: Rev. Thomas Crum
ley, C. S. C; Rev. Michael Oswald,
C. S. C. ; Rev. Edward J. Finnegan,
C. S. C. and Rev. Hugh Gallaher,
C. S. C. Both Notre Dame and Colum
bia are conducted by the Order of Holy
Cross, a body of men devoted to the
education of youth.
Father Burke, the newly " elected
president of Columbia, holds degrees
from Notre Dame and the Catholic uni
versity of Washington, D. C. For four
years he taught sacred scripture at
Holy Cross college,' Washington, D. C,
and for the past five years h3 has been
professor of English literature at Notre
Darne. He succeeds Father John T.
Boland, who has Just entered upen the
position of steward a; Notre Dame.
Father Crumley was vice-president of
the University of Notre Dame and fill ji
the chair of philosophy. Father Oswald
for the past ten years has held the chair
of Greek, while Father Finnegan was
head of the department of discipline
there. He has Just returned from
France, where he was a chaplain with
the American army. Father Gallaher
for many years was vice-president of
Columbia, but recently has been con
tinuing a course in Gaelic at the
Catholic university in Washington. D. C
He has again been named vice-president
of Columbia.
Prospects are very bright for a sub
stantial increase in the size of the
student body. Practically all of last
year's students have declared their in
tention of returning. Many of the high
school graduates will come . back to
enter upon college courses as well as a
number of discharged soldiers.
BUSIXESS EQUIPMENT COSTLY
Behnke-Walker College Courses Are
With Modern Systems.
In the Behnke-Walker Business col
lege, Portland boasts the largest com
mercial school in the northwest, and
the one whose students have wonmore
gold medals in the Remington type
writer contests than any other college
in America.
The institution occupies three entire
floors in its building at Fourth and
Yamhill streets, and its equipment
alone represents an investment of tens
of thousands of dollars.
The college has been built up to its
enviable position under the direction
of L M. Walker, who started his career
ns its president when the institution
had less than half a dozen students.
Today it numbers more students than
any on the Pacific coast, and Is one
of the few accredited by the National
Association, of Commercial Schools of
America.
The interior of -the college is fitted
to meet the exacting requirements of
such an institution. The class rooms
are large, well ventilated, and light,
and each department is thoroughly
equipped with the latest time and labor-
ness.
President Walker ascribes the suc
cess of Behnke-Walker to the system
of personal development of students
by the instructors and his insistence
that none but practical methods shall
be taught.
The Behnke-Walker Business college
is open the year round and students
can begin at any time. During the fall
and winter a night school is conducted
also. .
DEXTAL COLEGE RATED HIGH
its equipment, buildings and courses of
study, classified it as a Class A school.
The Canadian government, after thor
ough inspection, decided to send many
of its returned soldiers there for pro
fessional education.
The department" of pharmacy, in in
augurating a three-year course, has
taken a bold step in its professional
field, opening up to the pharmacist
not merely a- knowledge of dispensing
medicine and chemicals, but making
him a trained laboratory technician,
who aids the physician and dentist,
thus giving him. a fascinating, new and
remunerative career' of highly profes
sional work.
The dentist class of '19 was the last
class to graduate under the three-year
term. All classes in dentistry are now
required to complete a full four-year
course and the requirements for ad
mission, which are high school gradu
ation or its equivalent, will soon be
raiaed to one year of college prepara
tion. Realizing that no amount of theoret
ical training can compensate for a lack
of practical work and experience. North
Pacific college has established an in
firmary where the public may go for
service the entire year, thus affording
unsurpassed opportunities for practical
work that can be had In no other way.
The student commences this Infirmary
practice the beginning of the Junior
course, and continues it through to the
end of tbe senior year.
CAMPUS HAS WIRELESS PLANT
McMinnville College Near Portland
Has City's Advantages.
McMinnville college at McMinnville
has the advantage of being close
enough to Portland to enjoy all the ad
vantages a city can offer and Is yet at
a sufficient distance so these activities
do not break in upon school life.
Two of the features this institution
has which are not common are a wire
less station and an astronomical ob
servatory, both situated on the cam
pus. It has both complete collegiate
and preparatory courses, as well as a
conservatory of music.
North Pacific Is Class A According
to Federal Statistics.
North Pacific college is one of the
largest of its kind in the world. Its
departments of dentistry and pharmacy
attract many students. About 30 per
cent come from Oregon, while the rest
are from every state in the union,
Canadian provinces. Alaska. . China,'
Japan and even South American repub
lics. The .war department, after careful
