Consul Generals
Opinion on Springs

The Press Bulletin put out by the
University OF Oregon says in it's issue
of November tenth: How the greet
war may affect in a direct way even
medium-sized communities in distant
Oregon is shown by a letter just re-
ceived from Charles DENLY, consul
general from the United States to
Austria-Hungary. The letter came
to H. B. Miller, director of the indus
trial survey department of the Uni
versity of Oregon school of COM
merce. The community is Ashland,
with which the in lustrial survey de-
partment is cooperating in Ashland's
attempt to become famous water
ing place and health resort.
Mr.. DENLY was asked by Mr.. Mil
Ter to gather data from the great
watering places of Austria-H Hungary
and Germany for Ashland's guidance.
Ashland has voted a bond issue of
$4,000 to build up great resort,
and this will involve its doing some
thing for which there is no precedent
in the United States: establish a
municipal government for a watering
place not only owned by the munich
panty DuL dumlulolcItu NY IL.
Such municipality administered
resorts do exist in Europe, although
there are none in this country" said
Mr.. Miller, "and that is why Ashland
is waiting for guidance from abroad.
Consul General DENLY has been try
ing to ascertain the economic and
political conditions and the local
laws that obtain at these places, but
he writes that Austria-H Hungary and
Germany are so upset by war that he
has been unable so far to gather the
material. He promises to continue
efforts.
Ashland has as fine springs and
as healthful environment as Carls-
bad. But where the municipality is
to operate watering place, there are
many other considerations: the
healthfulness of the city's eating
places and Of its sanitary system, the
efficiency of the doctors who come to
administer to the host of unwell per-
sons, the hospital and nursing equip
ment, and SO on. II Is a new prob
lem for an American city to face, and
must be gone at slowly and thor
oughly."

Geographic Board
Meeting at Medford

George H. Hines of Portland was
here last Thursday. He is the sec
retary of the Oregon Historical So
ciety and has in the past half CEN
tury and more made a vast collec- |
tion of valuable Oregon historic data
that receives small appreciation now
but will be invaluable to mankind |
later. He mines this data every day
and hour and boards it like a miser
does his dollars, that this mass of
wealth may be preserved and not
perish with the generation that made
early Oregon history.
Friday at Medford he convened the
first meeting of the Oregon Geo
graphic Board ever held in Southern
Oregon. The two new members OF
the board from Southern Oregon
Will G. Steele of Medford and E. J.
Kaiser of Ashland-were in attend
ance. Considerable business, includ-
ing the correction of nineteen names
along the Columbia river, was trans
acted. Other names with such data
as was at hand were considered and
approval deferred. Among these
were the names of streams connect
ed with the upper Des Chutes coun-
try.
The Geological Survey is compiling
a large map of Oregon and this map
will be submitted to the Oregon Geo
graphic Board for observation and
criticism, hence any parties interest
ed in perfecting the names of points,
waterways or any other features of
the maps of Oregon are solicited to
submit their materials and sugges-
tions to members of the board.
There are no funds available, but the
members of the board will give good
attention to anything offered and
will be pleased to receive any in
formation for their records, regard
less of how small it may seem.
1t was the purpose of the meeting
to have Southeastern Oregon repre-
sented and to recommend to Cover
nor West the appointment of o. c..
Applegate of klamath Falls and
Thomas Jones of Vale, in Malheur
county.

BOOST STANDARDS AT VARSITY
Faculty Amends Credit System In Col
lege Of Letters and Sciences
Fewer Credits and More Work.

AT meeting of the university fac
ulty yesterday afternoon an import
ant amendment was adopted to the
credit" system in the college of letters
and sciences, reducing the require
ments from 16 credits plus military
drill each semester to 15 credits plus
drill. The result is that beginning
with next year only 12S credits will
be required instead of 1872.
The change will not, however, re-
duce the amount of work that will be
required 1t viii, on the other hand,
give an opportunity for a general
"stiffening" of the courses throughout
the college of letters and sciences.
None of the large high standard col
leges or universities in the country
require more than 12S credits for
graduation from their colleges of let
ters and sciences and it was to har
nonize the University of Idaho's re-
luirements with those of larger in
stitutions that the change was made.
A similar amendment was recently
adopted in the college of agriculture
20 the change will be general through
,ut the entire institution.

ELKS ANNUAL BANQUET
"Big Brother Movement" VIII BE
Launched at Chicago Tonight
by Members.

CHICAGO, Feb. IA big Brother
Movement" will be launched here to-
night at the annual banquet of the
Elks. More than 1000 Elks will be

send to the judge Of the Juvenile
Court the names of Elks who went to
be big Brothers" to boys who are
in trouble.
The grand lodge committee in charge
of the movement to rescue delin
quents, is headed by Edward Leach,
grand exalted ruler of the Elks. The
substance of the movement is that the
Judge, in receipt of the names of
Elks forwarding the motion, instead OF
committing or paroling a boy to the
custody of probation officer, will
ask the big Brother" to look after
and take care of this boy.
Under this plan the little fellow is
not obliged to report to the court or
to probation officer, but the report
of the boys conduct and progress will
be made by the big Brother" He'll
only know and realize that it's mighty
easy to be good when you have a
friend to help you.
