Cor Tth and WilUmt-tle 63c MAR.KIT l UNIVERSITY NOT "RICH The following letter appeared In the Albany Democrat not long ago: To the Editor: What la the matter with some of the people of our beloved state of Oregon? Why do they fight against their own Interests? Is It a fact that our citizens do not believe In education, higher education? And can a state institution exist without reasonable support from the state? J am not opposed to denomination al schools. I believe In them. I am not opposed to the State Agricultural College. We need that, too. In fact we need all our schools. Hut we can not do without a university, a place where girls and boys with limited means can get an education that will prepare them for good positions. Ex amiuo If you will the papers that contain the positions that are filled by the class of 1907. Now, there are boyB, bright, Intelligent boys, who are working their way through college, doing any kind of legitimate work they can get. Some writers said through the Or egonlan that the profeseors of the University were a set of ungodly men. That is not true. The teach ers are, from the President down to the assistants, members of our lead ing churches, with a few exceptions, and not only members but better and more efficient men and women I nev. er know anywhere. The school does not claim to be a religious Institu tion and yet they are laying the ton nil ill Ion for a betterment of men and women. A prominent business man- told me a few days ago that the saloon element were going to vote against the appropriation, because the professors worked so hard in Eugene for closing the saloons. And now why are some tax-payers making so much noise about the appropriation? .lust go to work and figure out how much more our taxes will be on account of raising this money for the university and you will wonder why any reasonable man objects to It. Lest you do not under stand the advantages of the state Un iversity, I will give my experience In this matter. Almost eight years ago I was left with n little money and one child to educate. I lived In Al bany. I love the place, for better people can be found no place on earth, and It was In that place that I spent the hnpplest days of my life and yet after I lost everything but my little girl and a few hundred dol lars, 1 knew that, although If Cod spared my health 1 could make a liv ing, yet It would be Impossible to educate my child. So 1 decided to come to Eugene! and here with the opportunities that a state lnstitu - tion affords. I havp irfveu mv dmiirh - tc-r nn education that has enabled her to secure a lucrative position, and hns prepared her as a University graduate lo gut a situation in almost uny business.

I give you a list of men who are mak ing their owif way, who wore not re fuse! because their fathers were not wealthy. This list Is made up at random from my personal acquaint ances, and Is not an attempt to In clude all who properly belong in such a list. The list could bo largely ex tended: II. W.

In behalf of these men and nivsetf, I say that any man w ho h;is sufficient ly pi -pwd In his studies 10 enter 1'ie Freshman rbs is weUinneJ lu-ro ririrf4 of hl financial ability. Mr. Editor, in three years I ha'c OF OREGON MAN'S" SCHOOL come to love the University of Ore gon and when 1 hear slanders against her name it is hard for me to re frain from using strong language, and the person who says the lack of financial ability causes any man "not to be wanted at the University of Oregon," Is either misinformed or Is willfully misrepresenting the truth. IT . If these young people from Hub bard were refused admission it was because of insufficient preparation in their studies. The University Is not a high school, but when any one who has satisfactorily completed four years study above the eighth grade, such a course as is offered in thp hlirh m-hoals. there is no question about their admission to the Univer sity. Neither does each student have to help av for a football coach. All football expenses are paid from the receipts at match games with O. A. C. with other colleges, and the annual game with Mulno mah club. The student can go or not as he likes and there are no questions asked. Therefore when a man says that the poor man's son has not just as good a chance, or is not respected Just as much, as a rich man's son at the University of Oregon, or that students pay out of their pockets for the football coach, he is either misinformed or Is wilfully misrep resenting the truth. J. H. BOND XKWCOMEIl TKIXS why V. OF O. SHOULD PROSI'KK Brownsville, Or., May 5 To to Headers of the Journal: I should like to give some reasons why it seems to me every voter should rally to the support of the bill making an approorylatlon for the State Univer sity of Oregon. rhe writer is an Eastern man, and has no local, property, commercial or sentimental interests influencing what follows: The writer is a teach er, and has invested enough in Ore gon real estate to be able to view the question from the standpoint of a taxpayer as well as a teacher. First Oregon should adopt a per manent and liberal policy toward her educational institutions. It Is grati fying to any. one Interested In educa tion to know that the State Agricul tural College Is on a sound financial basis. It Is a shame to a prosper ous community that its Slate Univer sity Is being weakened by a narrow and penurious policy. The opportuni ty now presents Itself for the people of Oregon to declare their belief in 1 higher education. They should do I so. Second The high school system of Oregon has come to stay. It has proved its right to live by giving boys and girls' training which a few years ago they could receive only by going to educational centres at con siderable expense. To have effective high schools we must have well-trained teachers. The state should pro vide a school equipped to furnish strong instructors for her high schools. Many of our high school pu pils are ambitious to get university training. Their aspirations should not be smothered, neither should It be necessary for them to go to some other state to find a well-equipped j state school The Slate University i Third The Slate University is a warni friend of the common school It has advanced the Interests of the public schools whenever it could do so. To argue otherwise Is contrary to facts. Its own existence depen-ls 11 mm the public schcols. This Is the source from wh!"h It mn.-.t draw Us new streams of life. Many of those wh.i are now oppo-'ing the apronri ntioii a:eea: to prejudice by declar ing that the money should he with held an I rlvii to the public schools. The ei ii api)r:i;i:-ia:!rn :'e:t !'-.;: over th" ::i:e would give veiy little aid to the public schools. The Influ ence the University has had and will have In lif;ln:: the common schools to a higher plane is worthy vastly more than the money outlay. The higher schools furnish a summit to which every true teacher delights to lead the pupil. There are a few warm friends of the common school who will vote against the appropriation for the University, but. we believe they are working ngalnst their own Interests: and mark this, every op ponent of a progressive pubic school policy Is lined up against the Univer sity. The friends of the common school who are fighting the Univer sity are with the wrong crowd. They should come over with those w-.io fa vor a progressive policy from the kindergarten to the university. Fourth - The appropriation of ?1-.".0IM annually Is not excessive. Salaries In many instances are now unpaid. This Is unjust. New equip ment Is continually neede 1. I.ahora-1 tones should hi supplied with the lat"st apparatus. Oregon is In thai stage of development where a strong school Is needed one that will com pare favorably with the universities I of other states.
