Miss Velma Martin of Galesburg, a
member of the state charities COM
mission, visited the Rock Island coun-
ty Jail yesterday at the instigation of
several supervisors and examined it
critically with a view of making a re-
port on it later to the commission
which she represents. Miss Martin
spent all afternoon in the building,
talking to the inmates and taking pic
lures. When she had finished, she de-
clined to make statement as to her
opinion of the prison. but she did say
that anyone could see with half an
eye that it was not fit place to keep
human beings. She has been assigned
by the commission to visit and inspect
state institutions all over the state and
the Rock Island county Jail was the
fourth such place on her list. She said
that the local Jail is the poorest of

No classification.

The principal fault that she had to
find with it was that it did not permit
of a classification of the prisoners. A
county Jail has two purposes to serve,
that of prison and that of a place
to confine accused men until they are
either freed or convicted. She says
that 1t is a shame to force innocent
men to associate and live intimately
with the men who are really prisoners
in the place. A modern jail contains
different sections. one for convicted
men and one for men who are await
ing trial. The prison part of the Jail
should not be robbed of all its terrors
by any means. although these terrors
should not include unsanitary condi-
tons, but the section where men are
merely being detained should not have
the aspect of place of punishment,
as they have not been declared guilty
as yet

most prominent men of the day, listen
ing to splendid music, viewing the
elaborate pageants and enjoying the
spirit Of the OCCASION that the quarter
centennial celebration was planned.
Another reason for celebrating at
this time Is the significance which at
taches to the struggle which the col
lege has successfully passed through
during the past twenty-five years. As
the champion and instrument Of a new
idea In education 1t has met with
strong opposition and coped with every
form Of obstacle that 1t is possible to
imagine. But a better appreciation Of
the value of technical education seems
now to prevail in this country, and
clearer understanding of the scope Of
the work of this college and its close
relation to the industrial development
Of this commonwealth seems to be
well established In the state. With

lions distinct period In the hstoyy

is safe to predict that the institution
will do a more wonderful work than
in the past twenty-five years and that
II will become powerful factor In
every phase of the states develop
ment. Freed from the opposition which
often frustrated it's efforts In the past
It will take its place in the van Of the
progressive movement in Oregon.
Evidence Of this fact Is not wanting
Thousands Of acres of waste land are
being converted into grain and hay
fields; great orchards are springing up
everywhere; better roads are in the
making; great stock farms, breeding
splendid animals, are established In
large numbers; the poultry and the
dairying industries have increased and
improved. and in all the influence Of
the college is a powerful factor.

splendid new buildings will be com
pleted, and everything will be In such
state as to best entertain and please
the returning graduates and visitors.
The railroads have agreed to offer
excursion rates and to put on special
trains from various points in the state.
This will offer splendid opportunity
to the people of the state to visit the
college at this oppOrtune time.
The eX-governors of the state, for
mer presidents of the college and for
mer members Of the board of regents
will be among the official visitors.
Both the state and the nation will be
represented by men prominent in the
service of each. Governor Benson and
his staff will be present as the repre-
sentatives Of the state of Oregon. Men
high in the official circles Of the Unit
ed States will be present to represent
the federal government
The universities and colleges Of the
! United States will also be invited to
send delegates to the celebration. This
will guarantee very wide representa-
| ton In educational work and will
bring to the college many of the most
prominent educators of the age.
Representatives Of the commercial,
Industrial and agricultural interests of
the state will also be present at the
celebration. The experimental work
which the college has been carrying
on for many years has put 1t In close
touch with these activities and with
the people Of the state who are en-
gagged IN conducting them

TThe BuiIs

The Oregon Agricultural college,
which will celebrate its quarter cen.
tennial June IA, is located at Corvallis.
on the Willamette river and in the
heart of the beautiful Willamette val
ley. The nearby foothills, with their
green fields, wooded glens and noun
tain streams, afford splendid opportu
mites for recreation and contribute TO
the beauty of the scenery which the
distant snow clad Cascades complete.
This splendid environment, together
with the weather conditions which
usually prevail at this time Of the year,
will afford an ideal location and at
mosphere for the jubilee.
The college grounds, consisting of
$50 acres. are located within the west
ern limits Of the city. The campus
proper, covering about forty acres, Is
beautifully decorated with magnificent
specimen trees, flower beds and groups
of shrubbery. Broad drives and walks
traverse the grounds In every direction
and add to the attractiveness of the
| place.
| In place Of the single brick building
which housed the college in 1856 and
which now serves as the administra-
ton building there are twenty struc-
lures, many Of which eclipse in every
way the original college home. On
each side of It is a beautiful gray
stone building, one Of which Is now
called the chemistry building and the
other mechanical hall The next row
Of buildings includes the splendid
home of the mechanic arts, the phar
macy building, the gymnasium and the
