Eugene is a school town. Every
man, woman and child, it seems,
takes an interest and pleasure in
the Eugene schools ftom the pri

influence of the University of Ore

all the school work.

there is a piece In the United States
where there is more of a spirit of
i helpfulness in everything that per-
’ tains to education than there Is in
Eugene.
So strong Is this spirit
j that Instead of the small percent of

most cities attend the High School,
