success, but It U desired to extend the
work and carry, on a campaign among
the people of the old country who plan
to seCU opportunities away from home.
It Is believed that Oregon will proT-ai-

, general character is much like that of
' their 'native land, except that the winters
here are shorter and less severe.

FEDERATION OF SCHOOLS
WILL BE DISCUSSED
Commissioners of the conferences of
the United Evangelical association and
United Brethren- churches are to meet in
Portland June 2 to take up the matter of
federation of the schools of the two or
ganizations.. Much disappointment has
been expressed that the- Oregon confer
ence, which met a few days ago at Sa
lem, declined to endorse a federated col
lege at Philomath and at th session to
be held here new ways and . means of
securing such a school are to be dis
cussed. One plan to be considered is the
establishing of a Bible school In' con
nection 'with Willamette university, and
another is to get entirely away from the
Oregon colleges and establish a new in
stitution. ' I
It is possible' that a new union col
lege will be established somewhere in
southwestern Washington.
One of the reasons the Evangelical as
sociation at Salem turned down the prop
osition to establish a federated college
was because It Involved a pledge to raise
180,000 as an endowment fund.
