Prof Thomas COndOn, the pioneer
theolngi,t Of Oregon, aud also a
teacher Of history at the State Uni
yersity, is spending the summer at
Newport as is his custom. He has a
large and devoted following Of
students wherever he chooses to spend
his time, for once a student Of Con-
don's is to be always student Of
science and an admirer Of the pro-
fessor. Few men have the great gift
Of awakening enthusiasm and arous-
ing an ardent interest in the subject
matter to which he attracts attention
and few impart 80 freely ard gener-
ously. Prof. Condor has collected at
Eugene geological specimens and
data lnotes and drawings Of all the
great formations in the state, that
should one day become the property
OF the state, and the basis for publish
ing a geology of Oregon. Prof. Con-
don has reared an interesting family
Of sons and daughters, but regrets
that,none OF them are prepared to
take up aud carry on his life work.
Prof. McElroy, of the state unlyers-
ity, surprised all at the State Teach
er's Association Tor what was called
such at Newport by strongly oppos-
ing capital punishment, He declared
no teacher had a right to whip a
child. The law OF Oregon allowed no
teacher to whip unless authorized to
do so by the school board. AS a
whipper Prof. McElroy was a record
breaker. He is said to have whipped
26 large boys at Corvallis at one whip
ping. The fact that at the State
Teachers Association he made talk
against corporal punishment shows
that McElrOy is making progress.
He has not taught much for fourteen
years, as he was state superindent for
twelve years and has'held chair for
several years at the state university.
The chair has been shifted several
times, and a new label put on it. Ed
ucation in Oregon heretofore has
been adjusted to McElroy's faculties.
