THE WORLD! JUVENILE
Eugene, Or., Jan. 11 The third an
nual commonwealth conference began
tnis morning at 9 o'clock in Villard Hall.
The first speaker introduced by Presi
dent Campbell was Clara II. Waldo, of
Portland, member of the board of
Regents at 0. A. U., ex-Lecturer State
Grange. Mrs. Waldo took for her
subject "Steps in the Development of
an Ideal Rural Community in Oregon."
She began her discussionoy stating the
fact the proportion of people living in
cities had increased from 3 to ?5 per
cent in the last hundred years in U. S
This fact has caused such men as
Roosevelt and Hill to raise tne cry
"Back to the land."
The speaker divided the farmers into
two general classes: the first, young
peopie, men especially, wn0 were leav
ing the farm for the cities where
greater possibilities were afforded. The
second, retired farmers who were
moving to town to end the rest of
their days in "restless content."
"Men say" she continued, "that
country life must be reorganized."
She said that the farmer did not need
reorganization, for be had never been
organized. What he needed was organ
ization. Here Mrs. Waldo brought
forth the community plan as followed
in Europe, where tho farmers live in
country villages. She spoke at length
defending her stand on the rural com
munity, question then gave up the floor
to a. A. uarnull, ot uresham, Lect
urer State Grange, who led the dis
cussion opened by her address.
Mr. Darnell favored the plan as re
gards to roads and highways stating
that he believed in fewer and better
roads then was now the custom. He
opposed the community system gener
ally, nowever.
L. R. . Alderman, state school supt. .
followed Mr. Darnell. Mr. Alderman
favored rural organization, saving that
he believed that the rusn of country peo
ple would oi, ly bestopepd by better con
ditions being offered in the country. Mr.
Aloerman said tnat there was at pres
ent thirty dollars spent for each pupil
in the city where there was thirteen
dollars spent for each pupil in the
country.
"More money for the rural schools is
what is needed," stated Mr. Alderman
in concluding.
Principal J. B. V. Butler, of Mon
mouth, concluded the morning session
by a paper on "Responsibility of the
Normal School for Rural Life Uplift."
