(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.

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.
