Dr. Buwalda has studied geology in Eastern Ore gon for a number of years. Adult education, a vital topic in this state because of its high record of literacy, will be considered in the afternoon. Steps will be considered on what can be done to raise the gen eral level of intelligence, a state which is extremely important in a democratic political unit having di rect popular government. Oregon is gradually becoming the art center of the Pacific Coast, many educators and artists believe. The University with its famous Murray Warner collection of oriental litera ture and art, its Millikan Indian art collection and its varied groups of other donated objects of art is in a particularly fortunate situation to capitalize on the prestige of the art school especially in light of Oregon's proximity to the orient. From all over the west students are enrolling in the art department, despite a rapid rise in feeB. On Thursday a program of art and music will be held. In the morning will be the musical con gress and laying of the cornerstone of Campbell hall, which will house the various art collections. In the afternoon Dr. E. T. Williams, head of the department of oriental languages at the University of California and America's foremost authority on Chi nese language and art, will give an ad.lress. His speech will have a par ticular bearing on Oregon. Dr. Geo. Rebec will speak on the Concept of F'eauty in Human Life. Alumni will be particularly inter ested in Friday which will be devoted to the dedication of Deady hall, which, although the University's first build ing, has never been formally intro duced into Oregon's family of build ings. A memorial to President John son, former head of the University of part of the services. Lawrence T. Harris, 93, former member of the Supreme court bench, will give the memorial address. Luella Clay Car son .former had of the University of Oregon English department, for many years dean of women here, and later president of Mills college, has been invited to give the Deady hall dedi cation address. She has also been asked to act as official hostess to the older alumni. Saturday will be Homecoming. Since the inaugural will be held in the early part of the week, President Hall II make two special appearances during Homecoming for the alumni, one at the alumni meeting Saturday morning when he will speak and the other at the alumni reception in the evening. Under the direction of students in the art department specially designed letterheads have been made and an artistic invitation is now being drawn. One feature of the program, the progress of the healing arts and their contribution to the physical health of the nation, has not yet been def initely formulated, but it will be in cluded under the science section. It is expected that the most famous medical school dean in the country will appear on the program. An especially important aspect of the Semi-Centennial will be the art program. Oregon not long ago emerg- ed from the pioneer state, and it is a tribute to its educators and artists that already there should be a self conscious center devoted to aesthetic ideals and practice. Advancement of the state by increased prestige is pos sible through the development of its University as a means of dissemin ating art and its ideals. All during the Semi-Centennial the faculty will appear in academic cos tume according to their rank as will also the delegates and speakers. STATE SCHOOL CURRICULA IS AMONG BEST Prof. F. L. Stetson, U. of 0., Makes Study of Secondray Ed ucation in United States. University of Oregon, Eugene, June 1. While it is unknown whether the product of Oregon high schools is better or worse than in other states, the curricula of secondary schools in the state compare favorably with those in other parts of the country, according to F. L. Stetson, of the school of education, who is studying the problem. The subject matter to be included in the high school program of studies has for some time been the subject of investigation throughout the coun try, attracting the attention of many of the foremost educators. In Ore gon a state commission, which is headed by Dean Alden of Willamette University and which recently met in Eugene with leading educators of Oregon, is endeavoring to determine what studies should be taught in high schools. The bill proposed by Sena tor Eddy at the last meeting of the legislature gave an impetus to the investigation in Oregon. "Teachers and the public all realize that high school studies need to be examined closely," said Professor i Stetson, "if we are to keep the schools in touch with the problems of mod em life. We want to determine where any points of inefficiency arc located, although we can scarcely hope to reach a perfect selection. "The problem should be handled by a scientific investigation or the sit uation. We don't know whether inef ficiency in the high school product is due to the grade schools or to the high schools. Possibly it may be caused by young and inexperienced teachers or by the lack of high school supervision in Oregon. We certain ly need one or two inspectors to standardize work in our secondary schools. "Almost every one agrees on gen eral principles, but what we need is the scientific approach, support of premises by experimental evidence. The disagreement generally comes in working out the specified content of the curriculum. There are three ways of doing this: by following lay opin ion, by referring to expert judgment, or by making a scientific study of the facts, drawing from them the neces sary conclusions and following up these conclusions in actual practice. The last method is undoubtedly the most satisfactory, although it may not secure action as quickly." Students in Oregon high schools spend most of their time on English, mathematics, sciences, foreign lan guages, history and civics, Professor Stetson said. The state is rather backward in the introduction of elec tees because the pre capita cost of instruction in smallclasses runs very high, but in the larger schools more flexibility might be provided. Experimental work on the efficiency of the different phases of the studies is particularly needed, Profssor Stet son said. One problem which r.houid be attacked is whether elementary school work should be continued in the high schools. Opinion on this point is divided, Professor Stetson explained, although the majority be lieve that the grade schools should be primarily responsible for all funda mental work such as reading, writing, arithmetic and grammar, thus leav ing the high schools free to develop the necessary content of subjects, Central Market C W.

He cited an instance why he be lieved in it. His story was this. He owned an apple orchard a good apple orchard, that was making him money. But he was getting old and wished to ertire from the farm. He considered his place worth $17,000. His banker and others believed it was worth the money but he was unable to locate a buyer in his immediate vicinity. Then he read in the paper: "If you have something to sell, there is at least one person somewhere who wants it." With this suggestion in mind he looked up 64 leading newspapers in the United States, and asked the opinion of his banker as to the ad visbility of advertising in the mediums. His banker thought the expense would not be justified by the results. He sent the advertisements in anyway to run one clay in each of the 64 leading newspapers. He found his man, who paid him $16,500 cash, after con testing a $1000 difference in "asked and offered price. The ad vertising cost him $122.50. Was it wrorth it? This is but one instance. There are thousands of others happening daily. Advertising is past the experimental stage. It is now a recognized business adjunct. If you have something to sell, advertise that which you have to sell, there is someone, ' some place, to buy it and nyie times out of ten that someone is your next cloor neighbor. ADVERTISE!

A Hint For The Young Jelly Maker By Elizabeth Palmerf Even your mother-in-law can't make better jam or jelly than you can make by the new Certo method For with Certo no practice is re cruired to pick the right fruit at just the right stage of ripeness. And no experienced judgment is called for to say just when your fruit has been"boiled down" enough. Any fine, ripe fruit you like will jell perfectly with Certo. You do not have to boil it down. Just bring your fruit and sugar to a boil, add Certo, let it boil hard for a couple of minutes, and it's done. lour jams and jellies will looki prettier and taste better, because the short boil with Certo saves the bright color and delicate flavor of your fresh fruit. It also saves the juice which used to boil away, that you get half again more jam or jelly from your fruit. A book of simple, tested recipes comes with each bottle of Certo. Your grocer carries Certo, or you can send 10c (for postage) and get a trial half-size bottle which will make from 6 to 10 glasses of jam or jelly, depending upon the recipe used, write Douglas-fectin Corp., i34Duramte mag., jwenester, jm. i:.

Service and the Small Account This bank is a service institution organized to meet finan cial necessities of its depositors. The amount of its ser vice to its dpeositors often depends on the bank balances they maintain. This bank must carefully protect the funds deposited here by its depositors. Money can be loaned only when we feel sure that it will be safe. When a depositor main tains a reasonably large, steady balance, it is an indica tion to us that he knows how to use money successfully. It gives us a reason to believe that loans to him will be safe. That is one reason why depositors who maintain large balances get better service from their bank. They are entitled to it. And even more than that, a large balance provides the depositor with sufficient funds to take care of emer gencies and business opportunities that may arise. -MM- Farmers & Stockgrowers National Heppner BsUlk Oregon ( Heppner Gazette Times for Everything in Printing J- ORDER NOW io Insure Delivery .
