third, from the reformation to the
present time.

J. Shortage of Classroom Spaces Il
A. Great As shortage of Nfain-
tenance Funds.
| Classroom conditions at the college
and University are almost impossible.
1t is natural that they should be when
lit is remembered that the buildings
iof 1918 were even then insufficient,
and that the number of students has
increased ten times faster than class
room space. Out of the dozens of
possible illustrations there is room in
these two pages for one or two only.
At the University the sciences have
the laboratory and classroom facili-
ties sufficient for an institution of
about 700. instead of one of 1745.
The University Library was built
when the student body numbered 400,
and has study facilities for 211 at one
time. At the Agricultural College
students are shifted all over the cam
pus to find room at all, then are con-
stantiy crowded into wholly unsuita BILE
quarters. The teaching efficiency of
the two institutions is fast being
broken down by lack of classrooms
and la aboratores.

Higher education is safeguard

that helped win the war were contri-

women produce more and save more.
The arrival in the business and indus
trial world in the last fifteen years of
a great number of young men of
broad university training has helped
male America the business and indus

Assessed valuations in Oregon usu-
ally vary from one-third to two-thirds
of the so-called ''cash valuation"
which in its turn is generally lower
than the asked price" man pay
ing on $1,000 of assessed valuation
would have $1.26 added to his annual
statement. AS the prevailing tax lev
les run. including the special levies for
roads and towns and local schools, his
increase would usually range from one
twenty-fifth to one-fortieth.
That is, it would add from two and
one-half to four per cent to his an
lual taxes to have the agricultural
college. the university and normal of
MS state placed on footing that
would let them remain the equals of
the higher educational institutions of
