University of Oregon, Eugene, Nov.
6. The report of investigator S. P.
Capen on the University of Oregon
was made public today by the execu
tive committee of the. board of regents.
The report wai given out In full. It
contains nearly 15,000 words. Mr.
.Capen is a specialist In higher educa
tion from the United States bureau
of education, and his examination of
the state university was conducted
during September ln response to a re
quest made of the federal bureau by
the president and regents of the uni
versity. Dr. Capen says in his conclusion:
"The Investigator would like to em
phasize his appreciation of the gen
eral soundness and vigor of the insti
tution. 'Its faculty as a whole Is alert
and capable; the students clean, in
telligent, and for the most part well'
prepared. The spirit of the Institution,
as it has been observed during the 10
days following registration, Is excel
lent. Plndisgs Are Favorable.
"The University of Oregon is one
of th "State's most important Instru
ments for the production of a more in
telligent and efficient democracy. Tiie
state may well take pride in its uni
versity." Dr. Capen's findings are almost uni
formly favorable. He suggests
strengthening of the extension service,
which he says "is not organized in the
most effective way."
(special talent nnd experience are
necessary for the fruitful performance
of extension work, he says, in criticis
ing the practice of "making. use of the
spare hours of professors already suf
flcently burdened with teaching, botli
for extension division management and
as lecturers." He adds that "it would
be well for the university as soon as
practicable to attack more definitely
the peculiar problems of extension
teaching.'
The former rivalry between the par
tisans of the university and tho agri
cultural college has largely subsided.
Dr. Capen finds.
"Citizens of the state who have in
the past opposed the university are
now much more friendly to it." he
ays.
University Hot Understood.
"While it Is gratifying to learn of
this change of attitude, it is neverthe
less clear that most citizens still fail
to understand their university. The
Impression is common that the uni
versity In, a 'classical college, with pro
fessional schools attached.' The larger
vision is lacking, "at may be that the
university itself Is partly at fault. It
has evidently failed to Interpret itself
convincingly to the state. To be sura
it has had to fight for Its life and ha
only now reached a place where It
might make plans with a reasonable
assurance of continuing support."
Conspicuous ln the report Is Dr.
Capen s emphasis upon the need for
men trained In business. "Oregon is
evidently a fruitful field for com
mercial development,' he says. "Busi
ness is becoming- a learned profession
He shows the Increase in Oregon, ln

j that a still greater relative growth of
J ,'buslnass may be expected in the next
few years. These figures he uses to
substantiate his assertion of the
state's need of a university school of
. commerce.
Professional Training Considered.
The report takes up tha professional
training ln medicine, law, education
journalism and architecture only
. briefly. All are commended. "Indeed
It Is probable that the school of educa
v tlon alone has brought the state re
. turns ln improved educational stand

Big Problems to Be

San Francisco, Nov. 6. (U. P.)
With nearly 400 delegates present, the
American Federation of Labor will open
Us two weeks' convention Monday at
the exposition, with President Samuel
Gompers presiding.
The. bearing the Kuropean war will
have later on labor here will be ou of
the important discussions. Out oftho
immigration subject is expected to
come a provision for a bill to go be
fore congress. The general viewpoint
of the delegates Is that immigrants
should not be admitted faster than
they can be assimilated and educated.
The question of indorsing the na
tional prohibition movement is ex
pected to precipitate more talk than
any other one matter.
Governor Johnson, Mayor Rolph,
Archbishop Hanna and others will bid
the delegates welcome.

Portland Woman's
Sister Passes Away
Mrs. Leonard Becker, wife of Deputy
United States Marshal Becker, today
received telegraphic information that
her sister. Miss Margaret McKlnnon
of Ixis Angeles, had died quite sud
denly last night while visiting another
sister In San Francisco. The telegram
said death followed a
ness.
very short ill -
full law school on the campus, says the
report.
Ultimate supervision by the univer
sity of all the work of the school of
music Is advised.
Further extension of the university's
social service work is pronounied de
sirable. "Such a development would
eem especially important in a state
where political democracy is so com
plete." The benefits of original research are
lted and the complaint made that re
search is not always understood by the
ubllc. The state should provide re-
search opportunities as fast as possi-
ble, although "establishment of exten-
ive facilities is undoubtedly out of the
question at present."
Criticism Is Added.
Dr. Capen comments that "it seems
fair to say the board of regents has not
been ln the past a particularly progres-
ive or interested body. He praises
the Integrity of the membership, but
aads this criticism:
As a whole, the board has shown.
to Judge from Its own acts and rul-
ngs, no conception of the scope and
functions of the modern state univer-
ity. It still appears to regard the
nstltution as a college of the era of
890, with a few professional schools
superadded, and to have conceived no
constructive policy that embodied the
arger vision. Moreover, in the years
when the university was fighting for
a bare existence, the burden of defense
of the university's policies and pro
gram was not assumed by the board,
except where individual members ren
dered valuable assistance, but rather
by Interested outsiders and alumni.
The ground of the present criticism
is that the board of regents has not
sought actively to understand the uni
versity and to bring the comprehen
sion of it home to the people of the
state."
Criticism Is Mitigated.
Dr. Capen mitigates his crit'cim.
noting specifically the years of faith
ful and conscientious service by indi
vidual members, and by suggesting
possible "praiseworthy motives for the
board s apparent apathy," in that it
seemed to wish not to interfere un
duly with the internal administration
01 tne institution ariairs. Ha rec
ommends quarterly meetings and pro-
vision for faculty representation at
board meetings.
Development of post-graduate work,
in a few departments directly related
to the state's local needs is suggested:
otherwise, "it Is doubtful whether the
university should try to develop a
strong, extensive graduate school in
the near future. Graduate training is
expensive."
"The investigator has assumed that
the university wished the frankest
statement from an outsider as to Its
defects and the freest suggestions as
to its future policies.
"In conclusion, the Investigator
would . like to emphasise his appre
ciation of the general soundness and
; vigor of the institution."

"A close inspection of the act of

titled: "An act to prevent Sabbatn

The object of the legislative assem-

clearly to prevent Sabbath breaking;
to prevent the profanation of Sunday.
Profanation is defined as: First, the
act of profaning; the abuse W dishon

divine; desecration. Second, abusive
or improper treatment of anything
that should be' held in respect; also
misuse; misappropriation.
"if, then," the object of the law in
question is primarily a law to pre

the S'abbath, rather than a law to se
cure rest and recreation for the pur-

clearly be in violation of the consti

John E. Gratke, publisher of the
Astoria Evening Budget discussed
"The Newspaper of Today and Yes

field for the small daily and weekly,
and that the onslaughts of the great
est metropolitan dailies of the coun
try will not be successful. Gratke
contended that the public would not
tolerate the partisan stuff of 10 years
ago, when, for instance, the Repub
lican newspaper would ridicule and
misrepresent a Democratic meeting
and the Democratic newspaper would
treat the Republican meeting In the
same manner.
Fairness In news matter was de
manded more urgently as time went
by, he argued.
Telegraph Wot favored.
Gratke asserted that the small dai
lies that spent large sums for tele
graph service were cutting their own
throats. He insisted it was the local
news that counted, and that if the
people wanted big telegraphic accounts
th-ey should look to the metropolitan
ted that hi3 own newspaper ran too
much about the Thaw case, and that
he was ashamed of it.
In conclusion he extended an Invi
tation to the association to hold its i

Frank Davey, former editor of the

Warden Minto's office at the state penitentiary-
yesterday discussed the pa
role law and its operation and the ne
cessity of conditional pardons by the
governor ln cases where a man ineligi
ble to parole has made a very good
record or where it is desired to deport
him to another country or to send
him to another Btate for trial. He as
sured all present that it is the desire

about good results in the handling of

Rufus Holman. commissioner of

that Multnomah county was using the
same wasteful methods in handling
public affairs in 1912 as ln 1862, and
how, despite the fight of politicians,
, up-to-date methods of handling public
business were installed. The reforms
include, he said, the creation of a

organization of the road department, a

School Budget.
to
Efforts of the members of the Tnx-
payers" ,eaS"ue committee to get the
scnooi ward to make in n.r x.nt
cut In all teachers' salaries were un
availing at the meeting of the board
yesterday afternoon.
The board completed Its considera
tion of the budget, which, under the
law, must be completed and published
by next Wednesday. As the budget
now stands, it totals :.Ct4,327. and
revised figures show the estimated
cash on hand and receipts for next
year will amount to $760,900, leaving
$1,903,427 to be raised by taxation.
Xvy Should Be 6.53 Mills.
On the basis of $307,000,000 assessed
valuation, less B per cent for Ions In
tax collection, which amount the school
board deducts in determining its levy,
the school tax levy would be 6.52 mills.
However, the budget so far makes no
provision for a contingent fund, and
information from school board sources
la to the effect that it is probable that
.08 of a mill will be added for that
purpose, making a total levy of 6 G
mills.
Yesterday afternoon the board passed
upon items aggregating $2,055,727, the
greater portion of Which Is for sal
aries, and cut $120,590, most of which
had been considered for kindergar
tens. A public meeting will be held Decem
ber 1 to hear protests against or rec
ommendations for the budget. On the
same day the school board must notify
the county clerk and the county as
sessor of the levy made.

district's payroll before 'him, Eeo
Friede of the taxpayers' committee was
( prepared to7ight the salary appropria-
j tions from the word go. He was
strongly supported by Dr. A. J. Glesy
and C. Henri Labbe, the other member?
of the committee.
Salaries Are Attacked.
They attacked trie salaries neingj
paid domestic science ana domestic art
teachers. Mr. Friede said there has
been a great deal of criticism on the
streets about the salaries being paid.
"Every taxpayer has to retrench, and
I nee no reason why teachers should
not bear a part of the burden," de
clared Dr. Glesy.
"Who fixes the salaries?" asked Mr.
Friede.
"The school board," replied Chair
man Munly.
"I suggest that all salaries be re
duced 10 per cent," said Friede.
"How are the domestic science teach
ers appointed?" asked Mr. Labbe.
