East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-09-22

Why are the schools of higher learn
ing in Washington more popular than
those of Oregon? That this is true,
and that the educational institutions
of Oregons sister state are better re-
garded than her own by those who go
away to school from Pendleton, is
shown by the list below. out of S5 or
40 who have left here this fall for the
purpose OF obtaining higher educa-
ton, % have entered schools in Wash
ington, while but a paltiS seven have
enrolled in Oregon institutions. The
following is a fairly complete list of
the young men and women of Pendle-
ton who are now taking advanced
work at other places;
Whitman college, probably more
because of its nearness than anything
else has more enrolled from mere

ing there are Effie Smith. Elva Tur-
ner, Mary Rust. Pearl Porter Mabel

Washington at Seattle. leads In the
number OF students enrolled from TINS
place. Why II Is that more should go
there than to the University OF ore
gon seems strange, as II would seem
that state patriotism would Keep them
at home. However. the explanation Is
probably found in the tact that the

more adynntageously located than Is

hetter equipped school than the ore

Every Effect Has n Cause.
In view of the great predominanc'
of the Washington schools over those
OF this state in regard to attendance
the question naturally arises as t'
the cause. There certainly can be M
doubt but that state patriotism woul(
naturally tend to cause students u
attend schools of this state were ther'
