Learning no Ornament
When not Used; Experi
ence is Sought After
Changing attitudes in educa
tion and their possible results
vere told by Dr. Carl Gregg
Doney, president of Willamette
university, at the Lions club
luncheon Thursday noon. Dr.
Doner portrayed the changes as
toward the practical and the re
sults as increased happiness and
the elimination of bigotry and
prejudice toward other nations.
"In days gone by." he said.
"an education was considered an
adornment to a man. The edu
cated man who is not now active
in affairs is considered an ana
chronism. .We realize that men
tal ability is a desirable thing in
the lowliest of occupations. Busi
ness constantly appreciates the
value of a trained mind.
"Experience is the big thing to
be sought after in education." he
continued. "The big thing is that
teachers should know what to se
lect to bring into the pupil's life.
Children reared on the farm and
in the city how different in type
and quality, their experiences.
"If we were acquainted with
the Chinaman, the Japanese and
the Russian, I believe we would
find that under the skin we were
99.44 per cent the same. If we
had sufficient of these experi
ential contacts, much of the big
otry and prejudice would disap
pear." Supporting his case for educa
tion. Dr. Doney declared, "I
don't believe we should try too
hard to be learned. But those
who are familiar friends of the
great minds are happier in a
higher plane than those who are
satisfied to sit on a low level."
The musical program for the
meeting was provided by Earl
Potter, tenor, accompanied at the
piano by Miss Eva Cochran.

Interviews with Salem profes
sional men were reported on this
week by two high school students
at the meeting of the Commercial
club, formerly known as junior
chamber of commerce. The inter
views, a main activity of the club,
are undertaken by the students
with a view to learning what will
be required of them in their fu
ture positions.
Punctuality, dependability and
responsibility are required of em
ployes, C. T. Earl of the state in
dustrial accident commission told
Lillion Kayser. Loretta Kohler,
who interviewed C. A. Howard,
state superintendent of public in
struction, was informed that In
his office employes were expected
to "have a college education, use
pood English, be accurate and
have ability to meet people."
The club decided to ask for
mer members now living in Salem
to tell of their work at future
club meetings.

states as Iowa, Kansas, Michigan,

Stttte-owned automobiles are

Sunday driving practices with

such cars. Well, it can be ar
ranged easily enough by the administration.
Virtually all of the depart
ments and institutions using
such cars fall nnder the juris
diction of the governor or state

SCHOOLS PERFECT
Certificates recognizing a 95
per cent average attendance for
September, October and November
were Issued Saturday from the of
fir of Countv School Sunerin-
tendtendent Mary E. Fulkerson,
by Assistant Superintendent Cora
Reid. McKee and McAlplne schools
with enrollments of 23 and 11
students respectively are the only
schools in the county which have
maintained a 100 per cent attend
ance for the first three months of
the school year. Porter school,
with an enrollment of 21 stu
dents, has third place with an av
erage attendance of 99 per cent.
Last year McKee school receiv

the state treasurer, the govern
or, superintendent of schools,
the attorney-general' office
and the state labor commissioner.
Governor Willard L. Marks
did not show up at his office here
yesterday. Not. that it was neces
sary for him to do so, but per
haps the big Stag Dinner Friday
night proved too much for him.
At least Marks said he had a
very enjoyable time at the party.
Lots of talent, unknown to
state officials and possible to
most anyone else was uncov
ered at the big affair Friday
night, which in all sense of the
word proved a great success.
Musical talent abounds around
the statehouse, as was demon
strated Friday night, while the
speaking talent was just
scratched at the party
It is a pleasure for this col
umn to announce the successful
culmination of that Get-Acquainted
dinner. Although suggested by
Hal E. Hobs two years ago, It was
left for this column to promote
the event, and speakers last
night freely acknowledged the In
fluence of the Under the Dome in
statecraft. Thanks gentlemen.
The male beauty contest was
ended Friday night, and the
prize apple core was awarded
to a representative of the press.
Contestants agreed that since
such interest in the competi
tion was taken by a certain ed
itorial writer (again unable to
print name) he should be giv
en high honors, and so ordered.

ning's big time from all reports

The other day James Sears,
local realtor woke up to the fact
that, a few months ago he sold a
farm to a "celebrity". Only he
didn't find it out until clippings
from several metropolitan papers
tonnd their way to him.
The person in question Is Isaac
O. Castle, known in the U. S. naTy
as chief boatswain's mate, the
oldest sailor afloat. He's 73 years
young, and when he retires In
1933 he's coming to Marlon coun
ty to raise strawberries.
Sears sold him a farm, Mrs.
Pond's 26-acre tract. 11 miles
from Salem on the Mill City road
some months ago, and now Cas
tle's wife and his son and daughter-in-law,
Mr. and Mrs. W1U
Castle are located there.
