Dr. Carl Gregg Doney, presideni
OF willamette university, clashed
with several eminent authorities
yesterday afternoon when he de-
clared, before teachers attending
the Marion county teachers insti-
tute here, that slang shousd be
eliminated" and that sit isn't at
all necessary"
Differing with DR.. Doney are
many scholars who insist that
slang Is the life Of a language.
ANY thought may be put more
clearly in good English DR..
Doney said,
Reading of certain popular
magazines by teachers was dis
couraged by both DR.. Doney and
pr. Sheldon, dean of the school of
education at the University of
Oregon. Constant perusal OF cer-
tain popular weeklies tends to-
ward making us mediocre peo-
pie. DR.. Sheldon said.
The view of the average person
since the war is entirely different
from what it was prior to 1914,
DR.. Sheldon said. Readers, he de-
clared, are far more tolerant Of
destructive criticism now than
they We're few years ago.
Speaking of vocabularies, Dr..
Doney said that a teacher should
have from 1900 to 1000 words.
The professional man should have
from 1900 to 5000, while the ditch
digger may get along on 800.

like birds that live on the ground.
The robin is a plucky little fellow.

This little bird can claim to be the

Look at a robins nest and you will
