New System .Being Adopted at Uni
versity of Oregon.
University of Oregon, Eugene, Ore.,
March 2S. Two hundred and twenty
freshmen and sophomore girls at the
university are now regularly taking
compulsory outdoor sport. Tennis Is
the chief health giver. Quite a num
ber of girls are learning also the art
of handling the canoe under the tute
lage of Dr. Bertha Stuart, tho physical
director of Women.
Dr. Stuart Is now working hard on
tho problem of securing an athletic
field for women. Six months of the
college year are good for outdoor
sports and Just ns soon ns an athletic
field can be secured, Dr. Stuart plans
to have the girls work out regularly
at baseball, basketball, field hockey,
volley bal, tether ball and tennis. The
girls already have access to eight of
tho university tennis courts. It Is
hoped thnt the athletic field will he
available next year.
Dr. Stuart's work with the girls Is
proving most satisfactory. Their
physical condition is much better than
It has ever been before, which ac
counts largely for the fact that their
scholastic standing Is now set at a
higher mark. Fifty of the girls nre
receiving special corrective treatment.
Dr. Stuart has secured for her cor
rective laboratory the Lovott Table
and the Lorenz Roller, which nre two
appliances for the treatment of cur
vatures. They are the first correc
tive appllnnces of tho kind on the Pa
cific COSBt.
