university, the state college and the normal schools, are
praiseworthy. Avoidance of unnecessary duplication, re-
duction in administrative overhead, elimination of courses
and departments that serve only a comparative few at big
expense, are certainly desirable ends.
Yet almost any plan that involves radical changes in
order to accomplish a worthy purpose is liable to error in
detail—and such, it seems to thia newspaper, is the deci­
sion to eliminate the school of journalism. Not only has it
carefully trained a large number of men and women for
their vocation, but also its standards and its practice have

e issued because the Oregon school of journalism
¡.as directly or indirectly shown the editorial and business
staffs the way. Dean Eric W. Allen and his associates have
been doing this very thing ever since the inception of the
department of journalism in the'university in 1912.
To economize in these days when nearly all values havt
to be reduced to a lower basis is essential, but to attempt
to economize by destroying something eminently useful
built up in years of expert toil is short-sighted and waste­
ful. It is like tearing down a new, staunchly built house
merely to save the taxes. The owner himself is the loser by
a policy of that kind.
Request of a delegation from the Oregon State Edi
torial association to submit a plan for continued operation
of the school of journalism at a reduced cost consistent
with the need for economy, and consent of the board of
higher education to consider such a plan when drawn up
offers the hope that an adjustment will be made whereby
the school will be saved and the public will be the gainer.

C. F. Walker, president of the
Northwestern School of Commerce
in Portland spoke to the assem­
bly Wednesday, March 23.
Mr. Walker characterized the
story of a farmer boy climbing
to the top, which is success in
life.
He told of the boy's mishaps
and successes from the time he
was a small boy until he was a
success in life and returned to
his mother.
Mr. Walker said that the ob­
stacles of life are not to be over­
come by brute strength by by
using one’s head and figuring out
a way to outwit the depressions
and other obstacles.
