The Educational
mHE initial step planned by
- -X which now has charge of
learning in the state, is to have
.raa of Education of the several institutions of Oregon. Such
a survey would deal with disputed questions (other than ath
letics) between the collejres and the university and between
Jthese two and the normal schools. It would probably review
the systems of accounting &&d
schedules,. the physical plants
tions as would seem justified.
This is not a new undertaking for the U. S. Bureau. It
has undertaken similar tasks in
the more recent were those in Kansas, Utah, Oklahoma,
North Carolina and Texas. The practice of he bureau is to
secure noted educators or specialists in educational admin
istration to serve as the survey staff, supplying members of
its own bureau staff to handle the statistical work and con
siderable of the work of analysis of data obtained.
, The legislature probably was wise in ordering the sur
vey and the state board will doubtless proceed with its func
tions with more assurance after such a survey is made. Per
haps when it" is done the people of the state and especially
the partisans of each institution will regard what issues
there are as settled. Peace, even at the price of an expensive
survey, may in this case be desirable.
f - .OhcinraTJrm nf ihc Kiirvpv
and a study of the more recent surveys in Kansas and Utah,
convinces us that neither the university nor the state college
--has much to fear from the survey. Our conclusion rests on
the fact that in the past the survey committees have seldom
made recommendations of drasticchangesT and on the fur
ther fact that the functions of the university and the state
college conform rather closely to the division outlined "by
past surveys, notably Kansas. In fact one could almost take
the Kansas report, study it carefully in the light of the Ore
gon situation and adapt whole sections of the report almost
verbatim.
Take the state college courses in music and industrial
journalism which are debated, the Kansas survey refused to
recommend abolishing the four-year degree course in music
which the agricultural college there offered, while in this
state the agricultural college grants no degree in music. It
likewise approved courses in industrial journalism at the
state college; and courses in home economics at the univer
sity both for general cultural purposes and for training
teachers for high schools. So we say, that when the Oregon
survey is completed and the graphs and charts and tables
published each institution will be permitted to carry on with
scarcely any changes. The survey will be made by educators
who start from the premise that the great need is for more
education rather than less.
The Utah report has this to say about duplication; and
. the Oregon report will doubtless contain a similar statement:
"It is the fashion in Utah, as in other states, to designate as
duplications the evidences ot lack of co-ordination between the work
,of the university and the agricultural college and between these in
stitntions and other elements in the educational system. In every
state wheia the difficulty exists conflict of Interest expresses Itself
Tnostlrequentlf in contests for appropriations before the legislature
... Frequently the difficulties are not difficulties of actual duplica
- Hjos but of competitive exploitation. Thus it is often the case that
. the work of a state istitution, wholly legitimate and proper and with
k-rn the scope intended for its activity, is distorted by competitive pre
sentation until it appears to be an

only in ajmall degree harmful or
We relate this not to belittle the efforts of those who
- will carry on the survey, nor
functions between the two state institutions; but to empha
size the fact that the ground
thoroughly cultivated and the
in this state went just about as far as it could in limiting the
work of the university and the state college in line with the
law, with prevailing practice, and with the findings of these
surveys in other states.
The need for a thorough
school -situation in Oregon (pronounced Oregon) is far mora
acute. The base of school
system is outworn. While the public schools are functioning
very well, there is vast room for improvement. Thje state
for instance does not employ a single high, school inspector.
There is a .woeful lack of leadership, in the public school af-
fairs of the state, while- emmentmen head the higher in
stitutions there are few men of commanding strength in the
public school field. Here in the Willamette valley where
good roads have changed conditions radically, and were con
solidated schools are now most practical, barely a beginning
has been made in that direction. The legislators passed a
freak transportation law at the last session, but that does not
- solve the educational problem
- Teacher's salaries are low; it
standards are as high as they
The trouble is that the university-state college feud has
absorbed public attention in this state for many years, the
normal schools and the elementary and high schools have
. suffered.. The state has been content .with "hand-outs" in
, : common school education and the public school leaders have
n't had courage enough to drive ahead for proper recogni
tion of the claims of the public schools. . .

fuss and let the higher institutions quit Absorbing the stage

following the Kansas City convention.
His appointment as secretary of war came not merely
as a reward for services rendered, but as recognition of the
genume .ability which he had demonstrated in public and
private life. His death is untimely, for he was only in his
sixties, with apparently many years of usefulness ahead of
him.
Cedar Rapids, where he was born and educated, where
he lived so many years, will be his burial place. And there
in his home city and state the sorrow will be genuine and
universal.
BITS for BREAKFAST
By R. J. HENDRICKS-
Continuing, C. B. Moores'said:
"There was a time, during the
40's, when it was an open ques
tion as to whether Oregon City or
Salem was the American metrop
olis of the western half of the
North American continent. We are
told that in 184S Portland had
only two white houses a"nd one
brick and three wood colored
houses and a few cabins.'"' Her
population in 1852 was estimated
at 300 ... . In March, 1860, a
eensus of Salem showed a popula
tion of 1068, and as late as 1864
Marion was the most populous
county in the state. In the early
'50's, while struggling to retain
the capital, Salem came losing her
name. In 1846, when the town
was formally 'laid out.' Rev. J. I
Parrish, after which your Junior
high school was recently named,
insisted upon the retention of the
name .'Chemeketa, by which it
had previously been known. This
was ouDOsed by Dr. W. H. Will-
son, who successfully urged the
name of Salem. Several times
thereafter the legislature seriously
discussed a change la the name.
and the following names were con
sidered: Corvallis, Woronco, Che
meketa. Multnomah, Valena, Bron
son. Thurston, Pike, Victoria, Che-
mawa, Willamette and WlUamet
ta. When we consider what might
have happened we may well ex
claim: 'How wise are the dispen
sations of Providence!
(The plat of the original town
of Salem as it is known now was
not filed by Dr. W. H. Willson till
Match 22, 1250. aad that of North
Salem was platted more than a
month before, on February 15,
1850, and another Salem, which
was the real town of that day, was
laid out and Its plat filed January
8, 1851, by J.B- McClane, being!
of the land on "Boon's Island,
which -Mr. McClane claimed was
the original Salem, therefore en
titled to the name.. This was the
part of Salem bordering on both !
aides or Broadway for a few hun
dred feet, after it leaves Liberty
at the- North Mill creek bridge,
and becomes Broadway where Lib
erty leaves off. So Salem was not
named ta 18 4 1, or at least it was
not then named so that many peo
ple knew what it was going to be.
The Bits man believes Mrs. Fran
ces Fuller Victor, who wrote for
Bancroft's history, was right when
she said the name was given by
Rev. David Leslie, though the
name of North Salem was applied
by Rev. Is. H. Judson in Ms plat
ting, and of Salem by W. H. Will
son in his, and again Salem was
claimed by J. B, McClane in his.
There is jdlspute as to who named
Salem, bat the Bits man still holds
to Rev. David Leslie. Be also be

death on December 16, 1880. Co

though for a considerable time I
have been a resident of a suburb

unavoidably absent from Salem in
August, 1844, when Mrs. C. A.
Willson (wife of Dr. W. H. Will-
son) opened her school in 'Ore

tinct recollection that about 20
years after the school opened she
gave me one of the soundest lick

"My boyhood companions were
of the usual type and we had the

the days ef the Civil war a custom
greatly appreciated was the drag

pounder and the firing, oi a sa
lute every time new was
ceired of a victory of the Union
troops. The star performance,
however, of all the early days was

an open-air performance and all
the people of the town and the

for those days, an imposing affair.
