P. Cubberley of Le land Stanford University, who is tho assembly speaker at the University of Oregon Summer school this week. Dr. Cubberley believes that this versatility is one of the elements of strength of the American people. The courses of study, he believes, should be so arranged as to cut down the present tendency for boys to drop out of school before they have reached the age of 1G years. One means, already being used to some extent, to prevent this dropping-out, is through the manual training and semi vocational courses that are being offered. School olllcers are coming to understand that those boys who cannot learn from books can be taught through the hand and body. "When the schools turn out a man who can earn only Jlo a week they have failed: when they graduate a man who can earn $35 a weed they have in a sense succeeded," says Dr. Cubberley. "The $15 man has the same longings and aspirations as the $35 man, but he has not the same chances of becoming a good citizen. Each will marry his girl and start to raise a family, but only one is really Ugujnpcd to do this in the mannar that is best for the in ferosU Of the state. The $15 man is the one who is more apt to give up, to desert and leave the woman to bwtf the burden alone." " ' . .. Completing a" survey or the school system of Salt Lake City, Professor Cubberley told the authorities there that it will be only a short time until a full half of all the taxes collected will be spent for educational purposes Originally the state's motives in attempting the educa tion of its youth was to Stamp out gross illiteracy. This developed into a desire to encourage intlligent citizenship genrally, and now the motive has changed until there is a growing general demand for training in economic lines. r When you buy a watch, you. don't merely say, I want a Watch.

Says the Sentinel: "The nicest courtesy you can show your guests is to have their visits mentioned in The Sentinel. The nicest courtesy you can show your frinds is to let them know of your visits through a news item in The Sentinel. The nicest courtesy you can show the editor is to bring to the office a complete write-up of any news item which you know."
