Self Reliance By ALBERT BYERS, "Idealistic in its aim, yet prac tical in its operation." Such in the fewest number of words de scribes The Catlin School, jWest over Terrace, Portland, Oregon. This school is one of the West's distinctive independent schools for girls. It specializes, in fact the school has pioneered, in the; work of preparing girls for entrance in to either eastern or western col leges or universities. The fact is not generally real ized, bufc it is a fact nevertheless, that admission to eastern colleges is not as easily obtained as en trance to western colleges. The young woman, therefore,; desirous of entering any of the leading women's eastern colleges jmut not only achieve the required stand ards to gain admittance but she must also pass the college en trance board examination. Spec ially prepared courses of The Cat lin School pave the way for en trance to any eastern or; western college or university. Individuality in instruction is the keynote of this institution; the aim and object of the school being to give the individual girl the environment through 'vyhich she may develop according to her own particular ability and needs; to train the student to accurate thinking and working; to grow in appreciation and in discrimina tion of the proper values of life; to stimulate a "desire foritha cul tural; to encourage creative pow er through self-expression; and to build character through service and responsibility. The Co-6per ative Student-Government associa tion places responsibility Upon each girl and instills intellectual and moral honesty, and it teaches ideals in citizenship. Progressive in every particular the school numbers among its fac ulty a music instructor of such prominence as Ruth Bradley Rei ser, a pupil of Fannie Bloomfield Zeisler, Philippi and Cortot, A post graduate department offers special training in music, domes tic arts or secretarial work com bined with advanced study in aca demic subjects, such as psychol ogy, , ethics, modern languages, history and sciences. The educa tion of pupils is conducted from the primary grades through' the post graduate department and French is taught throughout the school. Situated on the slopes of the heights overlooking the city of Portland from the west the 'school enjoys the dual advantage of city conveniences with rural attributes of pure and invigorat ing atmosphere. The school oc cupiesits own buildings and the grounds are some two and one half acres in extent. For physical development a cement tennis court and a covered, basketball field is provided. An open; air stage in a natural setting affords an opportunity for presenting dra matic and other entertainment features. Riding, "hiking and skating parties are planned, lan der the direction of the physical training instructor, in the: proper season, and a recreation cabin af fords an opportunity for enjoying restful week-ends in a delightful rural setting. .Henry O.

Everyone in Salem seems to know "Spec" Keene and to ad mire him. The city and the" ath letic fans especially will support his endeavors with enthusiasm. A circle of acquaintances through out the state affords him contacts with prospective students who are interested in Willamette and , a strong freshman class is assured. Miss Alkla Calf Currey will be in charge of physical education for women. She is a graduate of the New York State College for Teachers; has studied at Cornell university and is now studying medical and corrective gymnastics at the Walter Reed general hospi tal at Washington, D. C. She has had three years of experience as teacher of physical education. L,estle Sparks, who has been a part time instructor, will be em ployed full time next year by. the university. He will have charge of the gymnasium classes for men. With these three competent in structors and with the health service continued under Dr. C. A. Downs the university has a program for the care of the phys ical well-being of its students which is surpassed by few uni versities. Willamette limits attendance to a workable number of students. This number is about five hun dred. The university would be known for the high character and scholarship of its students rather than for numbers. Tresident Doney says in this connection: "I should like this school to be the best college in all the land. It has the possibility, the right of way. Why do I think so? "1. It has a history built into it which inspires like a heavenly vision and thrill3 like a bugle call. "2. Its location combines in just balance the urban and the rural. "3. Its students continue to be virile, eager, responsible prod uct of the West. "4. It is unique in adhering to a code of conduct which contrib utes to and does not detract from scholarship and self - directing Christian character. "5. It has an unusual body of alumni and friends. "6. It has a substantial foun dation upon which it can build indefinitely. "Willamette has these strong 'roots which are able to produce, if properly cultivated, the perfect fruitage of a thoroughly1 great college." The university also maintains" a summer school, which is stead ily growing in size and import ance. This year it has a faculty of sixteen and a student body well over a hundred. The summer ses sion is made up of two terms of six weeks each, the first begin ning June 21 and the second, August 1. In this way the plant is kept in operation the year round and the university, located in a beautiful city, and the state capital, attracts an increasing number of teachers who wish to study part or all of the summer. The university is one of the im portant enterprises of Salem and of the state. It derives much strength from its location at Sa lem, a beautiful city and the state capital. It also adds-renown and strength to Salem. Bonesteele Motor Co., 474 S.' Com'l., has .the Dodge automobile for you. All steel body. Lasts a lifetime. Ask Dodge owners. They wUl tell you. , . () W. G.

The college has on is staff a total of 21 instructors, Mr. G. S. Johnson, a man of wonderful per sonality who has been with the college for many years, being the principal. In addition to the in structors there are executive offi cers and a competent office force to ensure the smooth working of the integral part of this large in stitution.
