PRESIDENT IES POLICY Dr. Hall Addresses Dads, Mothers, Alumni at Meeting Monday. START STUDY GROUP Mrs. W. P. Mahoney is Local Head; State Oflicerg and Dean Powers Have Part on Program. That the University of Oregon may have a background of tradi tions, ideals and those spiritual val ues that go to make up character, Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall, president, told a group of forty mothers and dads of university students, alumni and friends at the Episcopal par ish house Monday evening, that the "Mothers" and "Dads" organiza tions were not a mere fad but a part of a real administrative pro gram, the effect of which has al ready been felt on the campus life. Dr. Hall headed a party of six persons who visited Heppner on a tour of principal cities in the in terest of promoting mothers and dads associations. Other members of the party were Mrs. Walter M. Cook, president of the state Oregon Mothers association; Mrs. J. F. Hill, president of the Portland Oregon Mothers; Mrs. F. W. Bond of Pen dleton, state vice president; Mrs. Paul Ager,- executive secretary of the association, and Alfred Powers, dean of the university extension division. Textbook is Popular. The meeting was arranged by Mrs. W. P. Mahoney, acting for the mothers and dads, and W. R. Poul son for the alumni. The program included a dinner at 6:30 o'clock, prepared by ladies of the Episcopal church and served by members of the local school faculty; vocal solos and a vocal duet by Miss Esther Wood, director of music in the Heppner schools, and Laurel Beach of Lexington, with Miss Helen Fal coner, accompanist; a short, Inspir ing talk by Mrs. Cook; the address by Dr. Hall, and a message from Dean Powers. Mothers met with the visiting ladies at the adjourn ment of the dinner session, and Mrs. Mahoney was put in charge of a local Oregon Mothers study group. This group will use a book describ ing the Oregon Mothers and Dads moement, unique at the unlerslty, which has gained world-wide circu lation and popularity. Mrs. Mahon ey invites any ladies Interested to join the group whether or not they have children attending the univer sity. 0 In outlining the administrative policy, Dr. Hall named five projects being undertaken for character building at the university of which the mothers and dads movement is the fifth. He named first the se lection of faculty members who will provide a high type of leadership besides being well versed In their 'particular subjects. To get this type of Instructor it is necessary to do considerable "scouting" and to locate them during their college years, as every university president in the country Is looking for In structors of the same type and Ore gon is not able to compete effective ly on the "open market" from a salary standpoint. Promotes Art Appreciation. Stimulation of participation In ac tivities by the undergraduate was named as the second project, to de velop a sense of responsibility, pro prietorship, and qualities of leader ship among the students. He stress ed development of appreciation for good literature, art and music, as the third project, to create a desire for the finer things of life. Selec tion of freshman courses, looking to guidance of pupils to a desire for the nobler things, and to help entering students to reap the most profitable results from their studies, he cited as the fourth project. The dads and mothers movement fits into the administrative policy by promoting a closer contact be tween home and student, thus es pecially aiding freshmen in orient ing themselves among brand new surroundings at a time Dr. Hall de clared to be the most critical per iod In the child's life. Hoard's Work Cited. Dr. Hall touched briefly on the work of the state board of higher education, which he said is compos ed of capable men who are attack ing their job Intelligently. Mem bers of the board are now occupied with surveys looking to economical and elilclent administering of the state schools, and he Is confident this will be the result, at the same time eliminating the use of state schools as a political football. That no reduction in millage for educa tional purposes can reasonably be expected, he asserted to be true, due to constantly Increased demands be ing made on the resources of the In stitutions by ever larger studont bodies and more refined educational tastes, In line with the American desire for bettor things In the home and elsewhere, People would not think of returning to the habits of home life prevailing In 1914, nor can they reasonably expect the edu cational Institutions to return to the status then existing. 0 POMONA GRANGE INITIATES FORTY Greenfield Grange Wins Pennant for Attendance; Power, and Income Tax Talks Heard.

In the last few decades no Insti tution in America has undergone a more profound change than educa tion, declared Dr. J. R. Jewel of Oregon State college in an address before the Lions club Monday. In the good old days what was good enough for one was good enough for all, Dr. Jewel pointed out, and brother and sister were given the same subjects, and the one who made the better grades was consid ered the better educated. "If one were to ask who is the best educated person in this com munity, he would probably receive many different names. And if one were to inquire why the person named Is the best educated, the an swers might be rather amusing." The measure of an educated person has changed materially In the last few years, said Dr. Jewel, who rec ognized the person who Is the best equipped to do the thing he is at tempting to do as being the best educated. That in effect is what the modern school of education is attmepting to do, he said. Pupils are drawn out In those subjects for which they show preference and special adapt ability, in order to prepare them to do better those things which they choose to do. He cited as an ex ample of the old erroneous theory of a well educated person, a certain man whom he had occasion to know quite well who was graduated with honors in Greek from an eastern university. The family was proud of that man. He was considered to be well educated. But that man chose farming as a profession and made a complete failure of it He was not equipped to do the thing he chose to do. Dr. Jewel's talk, feature of the luncheon program, was spiced with witticisms throughout and received hearty applause from his listeners. He was made available to the club by being In the city for teachers institute, in which he took a prom inent part. Laurel Beach of Lex ington favored with vocal numbers, accompanied by Miss Helen Falcon er, also of Lexington. E. F. Carle- ton, secretary of the Oregon State Teachers association, was also a guest.

"Heppner's winter egg supply went up in smoke." Thus announc ed Arnold Pieper who farms in Pie per canyon northeast of the city, in telling of the fire which consumed a new chicken house and 160 pullets on his place about 10 o'clock Sun day morning, netting him a loss in monetary value of $1000. Mr. Pieper at least hoped to sup ply a good part of the local egg market from his brood of White Leghorn pullets which he obtained as day-old chicks this spring and had reared to the point where they had just started producing. He had moved the chickens but two days previously into the recently con structed winter quarters, to keep their feet dry and otherwise facil itate production in the egg factory, the equipment for which he believ ed to be quite modern. That every thing was in shape to start produc tion on a quantity basis was evi denced, he said, by the mass of cooked eggs found amidst the wreckage. From his fine poultry flock, We now has but one surviv es. Mr. Pieper said the fire was caus ed by either rats or chickens scratching out some matches, stor ed with winter supplies in a pile of sawdust adjacent to the chicken house. He was absent at the time, and his young son announced the fire to Mrs. Pieper In words some thing to this effect, "Mamma, what's the fire burning out there for? Fire Permits No Longer Necessary in Forest People going Into this division of the Umatilla National forest now are not required to have fire per mits, announces F. H. Wehmeyer, district ranger at Heppner. The re cent rains have alleviated the dan ger of setting out fires to such ex tent as to make issuing of permits unnecessary. Mr. Wehmeyer says the district has been very fortunate this sea son, especially with the extreme dryness of the forest, in not having any extensive fires. Some forty fires all told were reported with the largest burning over 10 acres and this was outside the national forest boundary. MISS DIX PLEDGED. Whitman College, Walla Walla, October 8.

LEXINGTON TAKES PIGSKIN FRAY, 6-0 Lane Scores Lone Touchdown in Town Game; Sprouls Does 70 Yards on Passes. Lexington got the jump on Hepp ner in the first five minutes of play and scored a touchdown which re sulted in their winning the first town football game of the season on their field Sunday afternoon by a 6-0 score.
