PITIFIuLY NADEouATE.

No one can visit the University of Oregon without realizing
how pfuy inadequate the facilities of the institution for
caring for the attendance The existing condition shame to
the state Buildings woefuly overcowded and only fu
shifting of classes and makesh enables the
bling of classes Even the school aundres have be utilized
class rooms and students must pack about their paaphenaa
in past board boxes as they shift from place to place.
The present mage bill designed to provide fund for
maintenance that would increase the state grew However
though population has increased the fund has remained station
a boom valuations shrunk and assessed valuations de-
aed With attendance multiplied with operating double the
maintenance fund has woely inadequate and relief
must the University be seriously crippled in its useful
ness.
When the miage bill passed. it provided in 1915 fund

In value buildings per student the University is the low

investment being but 1922 per student against $372S for
Massachusetts, S2285 for YALE $3.50 for California $1427 for
daho $3.50 for Arizona S40 for Washington and 1869 for the
the United States The total investment in all build
ngs at the University, including dormory, is $562947
against $54293 the of the Lincoln High school in Portland
The latter actually cost 19 cent than buildings devoted
to nstructoa purposes at the University No building cost
much the ordinary small town High school building

In cost of instruction per student the University of Oregon
also the lowest the country costing but S203 per student

A STRANGE MISTAKE

Not wishing to be late at his cous-
ms party, which he understood was
to begin at five o'clock. Rusty Wren
hurried along the bank of Black
Greek. while Mr. Frog did his best
to keep pace with him.
Somewhat out of breath, the two
arrived shortly at the home of Long
Bill Wren. And. to their surprise, they
saw not the least sign of any other
guests.
1T looks as if we were the first to
get here" Rusty Wren remarked. as
they drew near Long Bills house in
the reeds.
Well, somebody has to be first.

sure of getting plenty Of refreshments.
II there were no other guests to be
seen, neither was there any indication
OF a party about Long Bills home.
There was nothing to eat anywhere in
sight; and no flag, nor gay Chinese
lantern, nor decoration of any kind ad-
orned his house.
Rusty Wren had always thought his
cousins house a strange dwelling. 1t

My What inquired Long Bill
Wren, as puzzled look appeared up
on his face.
Your party. of course," Mr.. Frog
replied with a wide smile.
Now. Rusty Wren wished he had not
called at Mr.. Frogs shop at all. If he
had only come straight to his cousin s
house, he thought he would have SPAR
ed himself-and his cousin too-a lot
of trouble. And, since he didn't know
what to say, he kept still for few
moments and let the others do all the
talking.
Meanwhile, Long Bill hoped brisk
| ly outside his door, and joined them
on the ground.
! MY party! he cried. "Why, 1
know of no party here, Somebody has
made mistake. l haven't given a
party for a year-just year ago today
/. invited you at that time, he
told Rusty Wren, but you didn't
come. And 1 never received a word
! lIOUl YOU dDOul the DldlttT.
That's strange!" said Rusty This
is the first 1 ever heard of the affair. ="
81 engaged Mr.. Crow to take your
/ invitation to Jolly Robin in the orch
ard and ask him to give it to YOU.
Long Bill informed his bewildered cou
sin"
That's just the way this invitation
reached me yesterday Rusty Wren
explained.
4 ''Ah, I see it all now," said Long
Bill. And he began to laugh merrily.
"Mr. Crows poor memory is to blame
for your mistake. He forgot to deliver
/ the message last year, And he happen
ed to remember it only yesterday. So
the news reached you just twelve
months too late"
Although Long Bill Wren continued
to laugh merrily, neither Mr.. Frog nor
Rusty could manage even a faint
smile. Having expected merry time
and plenty to eat, they were both dis
appointed.
But Mr.. Frog soon said that so far
as he was concerned, he still had a
singing-party that he could attend, so
he didn't feel sad very long. And af-
ter all, Rusty was glad to see his cou-
sin, Long Bill Wren. They had very
pleasant chat together for almost an
hour. And Long Bill invited Rusty to
stay to dinner.
Rusty thanked him and said, moi he
must hasten home, because he had to
go to bed early, on account of having
to awaken Farmer Green at dawn the
next morning
When he returned to the old cherry
tree Rusty had to answer many ques-
tions. His wife wanted to know what
had kept him so long, and what Mr..
Frog had said, and what color his new
Sunday coat was going to be.
When she learned that her hus
bands visit to the tailor had been all
in vain, she looked very suspicious ans
said quickly:
"You haven't gone to a party, have
youo"
mo, indeedr' Rusty Wren replied.
Il haven't gone to a party for more
than a year"
"And he seemed quite indignant
that his wife should have such a
strange idea in her head.
