survey is clear on this point. For Instance the state college
at Corvallfe has functioned primarily and directly. as a yo-
cational : school, equipping men and women for actual jobs.
The university has been distinctly a school of arts and let
ters. Eah has a place in the scheme of things. : ;
Now shall we abandon the vocational motive of the Cor
vallis institution and make it merely a segment of a univer-
' i ir : .atm 4a fVkivalH anH vn fl If 1 n cr a lower
division iwork there the same as at Eugene would change
radically! the atmosphere off the institution. It would become
almost immediately a school of the university type, i
The danger in this is two-fold: first, spoiling the prac
tical value of the state college as a training school for def
inite vocations; and secondL an invitation to further 'dupli
cation." If it becomes thef "University of Oregon at Cor
vallis" and the other institution the "University of Oregon
at Eugerie", there wfll be steady pressure of each institution
to expand its courses unti? thev have duplication in upper
division, work as. well as full .duplication in lower division
work.' : '..-; , ,
ffo come back to the point: how shall the functions of
higher education in Oregon jbe defined? ShaH the University
at Eugene be made a segment of a university and the insti
tution at Corral lis be made another segment of a univer
sity? Orlshall the state college at Corvallis continue to func
tion as a school motivated definitely with the vocational
attitude? -: "" I
We do not here undertake to answer these questions.
It is of the highest importance that the state board con
sider these questions because they are vital not only to edu
cation but to the second problem of the organization of Ad
ministration. I ' i
I r Editor Irvine of the Portland Journal approaches the
problem from a different angle. In a very thought-provoking
editorial the veteran editor who is a member of the
board of higher education j makes a plea for i dispassionate
analysis of the problems rather than a yielding to mere
clamor. He points out the grave danger of tearing down in
stitutions which have been) built up and performed a great

POISONING BY LEAD
Lead poisoning la quite fre

the lead is concerned. Certainly
drivers of cars need not "be con
cerned with the possibility of be

kind of occupation where petro

workers are compelled to seek

gases will cause considerable Ir

Dyes and inks are often the
cause of skin irritations among
workera in certain trades. Shoe
dyes are notorious for causing a
certain form of poisoning and the

"Peter said you were in here

I beg your pardon!" said the
voice. !
A . tali; thin young man had
lounged into the room, and now
stood quite still, seeing only the
back of Mary Lou's head ahe had
put on her hat again. "I beg your
pardon," the voice repeated,: a
deep voice but without warmth,
without color, a voice utterly life
less. - j -
"Come here a moment, Trav

iously. ! Travers hated meeting
new people. But he couldn't mind
Mary Lou.
He came forward and Mrs. Lor

"My son. Miss " j i
But she got no .further. The
amazing thing had happened.
Mary Lou had only time to get
a lightning-like glimpse of the
man . . .'she saw in that brief mo
ment the handsomest and, at the
same time the most disappointing,
face she had ever beheld. Straight
fine features but features, like
voiee, without color or warmth
or light; a splendidly shaped
head, thick lusterless dark hair;
a great frame, stoop-shouldered.,
far too slender for the build, a
clear but sallow skin and dark
eyes, deeply shadowed. j
But as he had advanced toward
her, saw jher full face for the
first time; a shout broke from
him. His face grew years young
er, his: shoulders , straightened, a
tide of color flushed his cheeks to
his broad forehead. ' j
"Dellghtf; he ef claimed with a

Mary Lou felt herself caught
up la a strong embrace and held
close, closer to that rapidly beat
ing .heart. She felt the man's
hands on her-amazed head, pluck
ing oft the little hat, flinging It
to the floor, j
"You've, cut your hair." he! said
reproachfully. "Your lovely hair!

"Don't cry, dearest," he said,
"I didn't mean to reproach you.

A Pathetic Sight ,
Mary Lou's bewildered gaze
raced to meet the troubled brown
eyes of Mrs. Lorrimer, who came
forward and put her hand on her
son's shoulder. i ;
"Dear,' tho began, I and her
voice shook pitifully. It seemed
to Mary Lou that the talL. lovely
woman, her poise shattered, was
appealing to her in silence for
help.- ! , ' s . j
With a quick, strange i move
ment, Travers ! Lorrimer Jumped
to his feet, his face working and
distraught, flushed with unnat

"What is the matter I with you

" he pointed a shaking hand at
Mary Lou, who, perfectly ! white,

perfectly still, his. long legs drag

ran over to him, touching the bell
in passing, bringing tall, impas

diately. - . . j - . !
You rang? began Peter,
and then ,his impassivity left

forward and helped . the almost

figure wholly onto the couch, lay

dark hair, quite flat, as deftly
and gently as It he were accus

rimer, unnecessarily. She turned
to Mary Lou, who had risen and
stood there silently, her knees
weak . under her and her heart
thundering uncomfortably. : j
"Peter, take Miss Thurston np

Lorrimer, suddenly. "I'll tele

Peter turned and at ah abrupt,
rather peremptory , gesture from
Mrs. Lorrimer, Mary Lou started,
docilely to follow him.: But at
the door she made a sudden rath

tonished to find her voice again.
"Hadn't I better go . . .? Oh,
