Making Headway in Education
VriHE state board of education made excellent progress at
X its Friday meeting in carrying forward its work of re
organization of higher education in Oregon. . An important
decision which will do a great deal to save the new adminis
trative set-up was the one to preserve the office of president
on each campus and to givefthe super-executive, the title of
chancellor. No one. familiar with school organization could
- imagine running a plant with the executive office miles away
- and the executive himself a traveling man. This will increase
the expense it is . true ; but it will , preserve administration
which otherwise would be badly demoralized.
' . Speaking of expense it seems certain that the adminis
trative costs will be heavily increased as a result of the new
police system of control. There will be fiscal offices in Salem,
but there will need to be local business offices on each campus
as well. Here we will have a $15,000 chancellor' and we now
have a $7,500 "executive secretary". While the new presi
dents it is said will not have to be high-salaried men, it is
observed that President Churchill goes to Monmouth at an
: advance of $500 a year.
We mention this not to find fault with the plan, but to
inform the state that in administration at least there will be
no economies, but rather increased "overhead. If unified
administration can relieve the tension and bitterness it may
' be money well expended.
Selection of deans was another accomplishment of the
Friday meeting. The board seems to have used good judg
. ment in sorting its executives, using the best of the men
": available at the university and state college. Those who have
demonstrated their ability in Oregon are retained and given
. larger -responsibilities, however in the consolidation some
able names were dropped.
'- The transfer of deans and prof essors may have some
healing effect Dr. Packard is moved from Eugene to Corval
' Us and Profs. Hoyt and Jewell from Corvallis to Eugene. It
is to be expected there will be similar switching of profes
- - sors, some of the commerce instructors at Corvallis going to
Eugene and some of the Eugene science men going tor Cor
r rallis. An exchange of students may also be made. It is rea
sonable to expect that these shifts may serve to temper some
r of the bitterness between the two schools. It might be well if
there were frequent loans of professors between the schools.
The "chiselers" seem to be getting busy. First there is
the appeal to let upper-class students complete their degree
work in schools like commerce at Corvallis and journalism at
Eugene. Then there is the plea' of the editorial association
that the school of journalism, at the university be preserved.
Friends of the 'war departments" are on hand to urge re
tention of -upper class' military instruction. Each proposal
must be considered on its merits; but the board will have to
be careful or the camel's body will be inside the tent again.
Radio station KOAC will be saved to the state. The
present and potential value of this station is great. It is the
only full-time, non-commercial station and the only publicly
owned station in the state. At a time when the other stations
are fast falling into monopolistic control and becoming al
most wholly commercialized it is important to preserve this
..station EOAC. When funds are
made to Eugene to give broadcasts from the university.

specifications. We really ought to get St. Gabriel on a leave
of absence. Lacking that potent seraph we may hope that
good angels may attend the board in making its selection.
The state is eager to know who will direct the destinies of
its higher schools; and is hopeful too that he may'prove en-

"Arrived at J: 11 a. m. Thursday. There is no depression up

Pacific highway. Between Boseburg and the outskirts ot Salem.
'only se trucks were counted by the chauffeur, Dubb Watson. If
this does not seem like enough, it must be remembered it was a
rainy; night and the dull time of the year. Near Cottage Grove,

"Some of these trucks are monsters th size. The rear-end of

Religious customs dlo hard.
Any separatist group finds it dif
ficult to -maintain Its identity
wnm snrrpnnded by alien faiths.
Tha result Is Tory often compro
mise between rtrile new faiths and
ran arable en atoms native to the
soil.-Thus Judaism had a long bat
tle against ; Canaanltish worship.
The grosser and easier religions
constantly draw down .those tired
with higher idealism. . - ' . -
Similar compromises were made
with the spread of early Chrlsti
tnfty. When the new faith gained
legal recognition- in many ot the
Tillages ot Greece and Italy it did
not so mnch root ost the ancient
pagan customs as ' absorb - them.
Local gods, were made OTer into
patron saints; pagan rites and tos
tiTals ' were transformed into
Christian feasts or holy-days. Cel
ebration of the birth ot Mithras
was. appropriated for Christmas.
Christianity comes to us strain
ed .through, numerous filters:
throcgh Greek speculative philo
sophy which left its imprint in the
Fourth gospel; through . Roman
seal for organizationby which ee-
cleslatlcal - polity was formed
through Nordic instincts of com-
batireness by which, so it is claim
ed, protectant Christianity was
made to sanction aggressive ac
quisitiveness which characterises
modern capitalism. The religion
of any age is the resultant ot com
promise between the principles or
faith, the indigenous beliefs and
practices of the land, and the pre
vailing mental climate."
So our western Christianity has
at various times Justified slavery.
DiesBea war, stccepiea wuiw
money, tolerated Intemperance,
Ignored exploitation of labor. '
Christ said: "Cast your bread
on the -waters." His followers dil
igently hoard their substance. . ,
Christ said: "Lay not up for
yourselves treasures.' His follow
ers build great vaults and rent
safe deposit vaults.
Christ said: "Take no thought
for the morrow." . His followers
worry themselves into the grave
tor tear, for fear, for fear ot the
morrow.
Men "fear the Lord" even as in
ancient Israel; but they "continue
to serve their own gods", ot de
sire and self-interest, 'Perhaps
Christianity is not practicable;
perhaps to be workable it must be
diluted with expediency.
And perhaps Chrstianlty as or
ganised and operated in the west
ern world isn't Christianity at all
but a creed and an Institution the
product of centuries of evolution
and compromise. This bending ot
the ideal to the level of the prac
tical persists through generations.
So this historian of early Judah
said: "moreover 'their children,
and their children's children as
their fathers did. so they con
tinue to do to this day."
Human nature still mixes high
alth with low practice.

Tuesday I TMost Dreams Are Bad"

Not Much Can be Said For Monday
By D. H. Talmadge, Sage of Salem
I
waited one morning for a bus
at llth and Oak streets. Also
waiting was a nervous little
woman whom I had. never sees:
before. I Inferred that she had re

suitcase. '
Said she, X suhtalnly detest

there?"
"That." X replied, is South Mill
Creek, and sometimes It's wet and
sometimes it's dry."
"A regluh astute politician of
a creek, aint it?" she smiled.
Say, when I get on the bus after
a while, if I ever do,- I suppose
it's pretty sure to eome sometime,
ain't it? You're walttn for it, too,
ain't you? where does ittake me
to? I'm almln' to go to the state
hospital to make a call."
I explained the transfer system
in vogue at the State and Com

"Weil, I suhtalnly wish that bus
would hurry along. You didn't tell
me whether you mind waitln' for
busses and trains and things. You
act as it you klnlo' like waitln'.
You must be an Oregonian. I

to listen to folks talk about any

And as long as I was comin I

CHAPTER XZVH
SHE walked across the lobby and
out the front doer. On the
curb, balancing himself, stood
the ererwwatchfu! Bat He had dis-j
carded his cap and was wearing n
gray felt hat
The shape of his face was crooked.
He was looking at Mary with ex
pressionless eyes. She did not avoid
Usgaza, - , ' . V
; It was strange, but true, that the
possession ef Caribtta's automatia
pistol gave her a feeling of proteo
tion. She had never touched such a
weapon before, taut she knew per-;
f ectly well how to use it The movies
had taught tier that; you merely
pointed tt at somebody and pulled
the trigger. It was n simple opera
tion. Bat did not seem as terrifying
as he had been before.
She walked down to the corner of
Broadway and stopped at a fruit
Juice stand for a glass of the cold,
sweet liquid. -Bat hovered not fif
teen feet away from hoc. .Some
where inside his ugiy head was the
secret of Steve's whereabouts. If
he wanted to talk tf he turned
traitor to Lenders he could replace
her horrible worry with marvelous
Joy. But to wring anything from
him would be equivalent te eruahmg
a cobble stone la her little pink
palms.
A wild impulse stirred hex She
looked straight at Bat
"HeUo," she said quietly.
He shot a surprised glance at her,
bis face startled out of its crooked
Immobility. He hadnt expected her
to speak to him ft upset his morale.
"Hello,'' he growled with hard de-
, Nevertheless, Mary knew that fa
some subtle way, he had been flat
tered. She turned and walked back
(a the direction from which she had
come : beck past the hotel in an aim-
lesr direction that was taking her
away from the subways and busses.
It was a maneuver that puzzled Bat
and he dogged her steps with dis
turbed fidelity. At the corner, she
stopped and waited for him to come
up.
His steps slowed and he hung
back, but eventually he had to come
even with her. Mary draw ia her
breath sharply, nerving herself. She
half turned toward him, one of her
hands clutched. A tiny wisp of her
live, gold hair had strayed from
under the little blue hat her cheeks
were lit with color, her eyes full of
gathered Intensity. It was as though
a name burned Inside her.
Bat would have walked past with
his hat pulled down and his Jaw
firmly set but she pulled him out of
his pretended abseat-ta!n4edness.
"Dont yon ever get tired of fol
lowing me around?'' she demanded
sharply.
His face flushed darkly, and he
cameto an awkward halt

her without being able, on the in
