PROFESSOR OLIVER
WRITES TEXT BOOK
Professor Egbert S. Oliver, of
Willamette university, has pub
lished a book, "Readings For Ideas
and Form," which Is designed as
a book of readings for college com
position classes. While the book Is
primarily a text, the variety of
material contained makes It of In
terest to the reading public.
The book, 535 pages long, pub
llshed by Doubleday, Doran and
company, begins with a selection
by Charles w. Eliot, the late presi
dent of Harvard. This suggests the
range of material In the book. In
cluded are essays on how to bud
get a $25,000 a year Income, and
how a Vermont farmer Uvea with
almost no cash outlay. 1
showing the difference between the
education of 50 years ago and

Narrative material by auch writ-
era as John Galsworthy, Joseph
Conrad and Herman Melville
balanced by serious essays by James
Harvey Robinson, Raymond B. Fos-
dick. Thomas Henry Huxley and
familiar works of Christopher- Mor-
ley, Washington Irving and Paul
Oalllco.
The book contains much current
material, as well as from older
standard authors; but all of the
material bears upon present day
life. Professor Oliver expects the
book to be adopted as a text by
many colleges.
Professor Oliver has been at Wil
lamette six years, coming here
from the University of Washington,
where he received his A. B. degree
In 1927, MA In 1029. He has been

ness. Since them Marcho says all
he has had to live on is a $10
monthly old age pension.
Judge Lewelling In handing down'
a decision sustaining a demurrer In
the case of R. W. Parrott vs. Albert
Edward Smith, Incompetent, by his
guardian, Dewey Smith, has refused
to allow enforcement of a mechan
ic's Hen against the ward's property.
He not only holds that his court
has no jurisdiction but also holds
that a guardian has no authority to
contract for labor or services for his
ward so that a Hen may be enforced
agalnat his property.
The court declares that tne pro
bate court has exclusive Jurisdiction
over all probate matters and proper
ty of a ward under guaraiansnip.
Further, he says, the statute gives
authority to the ward to borrow
money on order of the court for
purposes of repairs, maintenance
and similar expenditures of the
ward's property but Is not broad
enough even under order of the
court to contract for labor and ser
vices and permit those performing
such services to perfect their claim
for compensation by obtaining
mechanic's Hen on the property of
the ward.
