Education Faces Crisis
FUNDS, NOT FUNCTIONS CUT
Japan and Her Good Faith
Procedure Not
Wisely Taken
There is no occasion for surprise at
the reports emanating from Portland
and Eugene to the effect that the state's
higher educational structure is threat
ened by a financial crisis. That such
would be the ultimate outcome was ap
parent months ago when the legislative
appropriation was partially vetoed and
the remainder subjected to referendum
action that removed it from the use of
the institutions.
In a nutshell, the situation is this.
The institutions in the past have re
ceived their state support from a
straight millage income?, pro-rated
among them, and from a special legis
lative appropriation, in which the big
gest item has been the support of the
university medical school at Portland.
Student fees havi provided the re
mainder. Now, the millage income is
reduced by tax delinquencies. The
special appropriation made by the last
legislature, $1,181,000, has been re
duced by $500,000 through veto, and
the remainder made unavailable and a
good portion of it cancelled outright by
referendum action. Student fees are
reduced by smaller attendance.
Inasmuch as the medical school drew
its state support entirely from the
special appropriation, that institution
became a burden on the other units
when the special appropriation was cut
off. It has been largely a burden on
the campus at Eugene, where rigid re
trenchment was made necessary to
squeeze out funds to keep the Portland
school going.
Now, it comes home hard to the
folks up at Portland when it is disclosed
that unless there is relief by the end
of 1932, either the Portland school and
its supplementary activities will have to
close down, or vital functions at Eugene
will be cut off. The medical school is
one of the outstanding institutions of
its kind in America. It does a dis
tinct service in Oregon, and particularly
in Portland and Multnomah county
through its supplementary institutions
such as the out-patient clinic and the
Doernbecher hospital. To close it down
seems unthinkable, and yet
Then there is the possibility of rais
ing student fees at Eugene to help take
up the slack. Those fees already are
high enough, and it will be unfortunate
if this is resorted to.
In this situation, there arises cause
for questioning our procedure in this
matter of higher education. It beaame
apparent a few years ago that re
organization. and unification would be
necessary. Reduction of the burden on
the people was to be the goal.
And yet, instead of reorganizing and
eliminating first, thus reducing the re
N quirements for funds, we first cut off
the funds. That left the institutions or
ganized to function on the basis of
larger support but receiving drastic re
ductions. The result has been that the
savings have been spread out over all
the activities, reducing their effective
ness. The fund reduction did not force
the reorganization, as many expected
it to do.
The state board of higher education
is in a delicate position. It is likely
Not Much Credit
Given Assurances
In spite of Japan's assurance that she
has no intention of moving toward
Nanking after the conquest of Shang
hai, United States ships have been
ordered to stand by to evacuate Amer
ican citizeft from Nanking. It is ap
parent that Japan's assurances are be
ing taken none too seriously any more.
The wires carried an item just after
the forceful occupation of Shanghai be
gan, in which a foreign diplomatic rep
resentative expressed amazement at the
turn of events. He said the Japanese
military authorities had informed for
eign officials the night before that
there was no intention to use force for
several days.
In line with the same sort of thing
was the Japanese action in issuing a
new ultimatum after the Chinese in
Shanghai had acceeded to the first de
mands of the Japanese military.
The history of the whole series of
events leading up to the present crisis
is full of similar examples. They help
form the basis of a world opinion that
is strongly unfavorable to Japan.

Speaking of
the Weather
By Churl, Kilzliugh Talnian of
the U. K. Weather Boreas
Statistics of climate are merely
digests or summaries of past
weather, but they indicate. In a
general way, the weather of the
future.
There Is a common impresalon
to the effect that conservative
meteorologists do not engage In
long-range weather forecasting,
except, perhaps. In an experi
mental and academic way, with
out reference to any direct ap
plication of their forecats - to
human affairs. This Idea is hard
ly consistent witH the fait that
nearly every big meteorological
establishment In the world com
piles and lilies cilmatlc statistics,
which are used at a means of
anticipating the weather of the
distant future and are Intended
chiefly for that purpose.
For example, the Department
of Agriculture published a few
years ago, as a aertion of the
beautiful Atlas of American Agri
culture, tome elaborate charts
allowing the average dates of the
last "killing" frost In aprlng and
the first In autumn In all parts
of the 1'nited States. These
charts are merely a record of
what lias happened In past yeara.
They enable farmers and fruit
growers to know approximately
when, in any locality, frotta are
due.
In a aimilar way, engineers. In
designing Hewers, assume that
heavy rainfaila in the future will
not greatly exceed In Intensity

it U chiefly because of uch
(radical considerations that me
teorologists maintain weather ob
servations on a vat scale through
out the world and publish rec
ords or digests of all these ob
servations. There are many
placet In Europe and a few In our
own country where weather rec
ords have been kept contlnuoualy
for more than a century.
Some of thete records are of
formidable site. One of the start
ling sights to be seen In the
Weather Bureau library at Wash-
I lngton is a file of volumes con-
taming daily measurements of

Although nearly the whole sur
face of the globe, Including both
poles, hat now been reached by
explorers, there are mill three
terrestrial regions In which a
great deal of exploring remains
to be done. One of these ia the
interior of the globe, another the
bottom of the ocean, and a third
the upper levela of the atmos
phere. The greatest dlatance any hu
man being has yet been able to

greater part of lu vertical ex

ter. Air, like all gases, la highly
compressible. The lowest part of
the atmosphere, pressed down

With Increased altitude the den
sity falls off so rapidly that at a
height of three and a half miles
the air Is only about half as dense
as at sea level. Above about five
miles It Is too rnra for brandl

Lewis and Clark discovered the

by Ita Indian name Toworne

period the stream waa known as
the Hlver of the Falls, or lllvl
ere da Chutes. As a remit of
the modern tendency to simplify
geographic names. It Is now uni
versally written Desrhutee.
