SLst (he: A woman called a day or two ago at the headquarters of the Woodrow Wilson league, 410 Merchants Trust building. Q. Y. Harry, state organizer for the league, greeted her. "I presume you wish to sign Presi dent Wilson's nominating petition," said Mr. Harry. "All i jgistered Demo crats are invited to sign.-" "Well, no," replied the woman. "You see, I am a Republican so I cannot sign the petition, but I want to Join the league. I believe in President Wil son and I want to see him reelected." The Woodrow Wilson league is non partisan. It welcomes to membership all friends of the president. So the woman's membership was gladly ac cepted. Business Men Join. It was last week also that a prom inent business man, who is a Demo crat, brought his two partners ujj to the league's headquarters and intro duced them to Mr. Harry. Both were Republicans but they had come to Join the Woodrow Wilson league. A. few days ago a man who lives in the Albina district brought in 21 new applications for memberships. Five of them were from Republicans. And so the lea sale's membership is growing. FTiendsbf the president, who want to see Mr J Wilson reelected, are to be found in all parties. Petitions to place the president's name on the prlmar;- election ballot in this state are being signed in 19 counties, where they are in the hands of persons who volunteered ' to see to them. Petitions Are riaoed. The petitions have been placed as follows: Baker county James H. -Graham, Baker. " Benton W. H. Malone. Corva.Uis. Clackamas E. R. Brown, . Oregon City. Clatsop Albert W.

A great Improvement has taken place in the work of tbe public schools of Oregon In the last S or 10 ' years, according to Dr. P. L. Campbell, presl dent of the University of Oregon, Stu dents are now being graduated from the high schools of the state equipped at least 25 per cent better than were those who graduated a few years ago. be said. Reasons for this, he said, are due to the higher standard of the teaching forces, to the greater variety of sub Jects taught and to the human or life In terest that has been injected into the schools, and thereby giving them greater vitality. 'And, he said, the Portland schools , stand in the front rank of the schools of the state, rnndamentals Stronger Vow. President Campbell has been at the head of the State University for 14 years, and before that he was with the State Normal, so he ha been observing the work of the high schools as they turned out students who en- tered the university. "The work in English, spelling and writing, and - all the so-called funda mentals is stronger now than ; ever before,' he said. "I observe, this In those who enter the freshman class at the university. "Variety in high school subjects arouses a greater interest on the part of the students, with the result that they apply themselves better in all their studies. This stimulation of in terest has overcome Inertia, and has been very beneficial. "If you keep a student keenly in terested in his work, he will do many things much better than he will do a few things .When he Is not interested. Standard Subjects iTJnnarxned. ."The adlitlon of such work as man ual training, cooking, sewing, etc., hai in no way done harm to the standard subjects. Variety has not been ob tained at the expense of thorough ness." President Campbell spoke about th great amount of outside or free read ing the high school students are doing, as is evidenced by those who have entered the university. "I find them with a breadth of read ing that we. have never known before, he said. But the most Important development of recent years, he said, was the con necting of the schools with real life. the broadening of the vision of the students by tbe human interest ele ment that Is being put Into the schools. e I The eyes of the world are on Washington Th nation's capital was never better worth visiting than now.
