dress on geology and its bearing on
Oregon's development. 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,

Always
Someone Wants What
You Have to Sell.
IE WERE talking to a man yesterday who believed
in advertising. 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.

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.,

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.
