COEDS HAVE MADE
CHANGE AT OXFORD
Claim Standard of Scholar
ship Is Declining.

Those who sit in the high places of
Oxford are concerned about the future
of that seat of learning. Some of them
are wondering whether they were not
mistaken when they welcomed women
TO their lecture rooms and examination
halls and later allowed them to com
pete on equal terms with men stu
dents in all the schools of the uni
versity,
When the first women's colleges
were founded at Oxford it was sup
posed that they would be rather
small. 1t was not believed that many
girls would be allowed by their par
study and residence at a university
town. The handful OF young blue
stockings would scarcely leaven the
mass. Oxford would remain, as Il
had been for centuries, a community
of men.
1t was like that up to the later VIC
torian days. When I was an under
graduate in those times the flavor
of monasticism and medievalism still
hung about its gray walls and quiet
streets.
But when go to Oxford nowadays
find myself in noisy, bustling mod
ern town. Tramway bells ring, motor
horns clang, bicycles whizz by, crowds
beset the pavements. The undergradu-
ate is everywhere.
You see her, with cap and gown and
notebook, going to lecture; you meet
her of afternoons In the teashops, in
the quads, on the country roads, on
the towpaths, often with attendant
men. You would think there were
more women than men in the var
sity.
Assuredly, these maidens have
worked changes upon Oxford. Some
of them are regarded doubtfully by
fellows and tutors Of a conservative
temper. One of these, great scholar
himself, said that the standard Of
scholarship at Oxford was steadily de-
clining. The sterner studies were
shirked In favor Of the lighter and
easier subjects, such as English lit
erature and modern history, which do
not demand a strict preliminary
training in classics or mathematics.
The lectures are made more popu-
lar, especially by some Of the young
tutors, in order to attract the girls.
And the lads and lassies are too con-
scious OF one another to pay proper
attention to the teacher. That, at
least, Is what my friend averFed,
though 1t Is true he is elderly and
bachelor.
Then there Is that matter OF sports
and games. Whereas at Oxford the
girls are to the men as one in FIVE, at
Cambridge they are only one to ten.
and are kept rather more to them
selves. Is that one reason why the
Dark Blues make so poor a show
against their rivals In almost every
kind Of athletic contest?
Women ought to be enabled to en-
Joy the benefits of a college educa-
tion. In America they do so, but at
their own exclusive feminine acad-
emies, like Vassar and Bryn Mawr,
where they can study and play with
out any disturbing male element. That
seems to me the better way.-From
the Continental Edition of the London
Daily Mail.

Inolsment weather has required a revision of the schedule Of games in tho 'Herald.Junior Achievement marble shooting tournament The contest to determine tho school champion. which was to have been held at the Lincoln school on the afternoon of May 3 will be played Friday afternoon May ls at a:so o'clock.
 Another cause for changes in the schedule in the decision to omit Wednesday afternoon games in or der that children leaving the school tor religious instruction may not have to return to tho school yard to play in their school elimination games. While it is expected to &C., complish tho picking of all the school champions in tho city within the month, the games at tho vari- ous schools will not be announced until few days in advance in or dor to dissappoint as few partici- pants as possible. -..
 The schedule to date is about one- third completed. The schools which have already determined their cham pions are: Israel Putnam. champion Luclan Plochavczyk: Stanley school, champion. Robert Frawley: Monroe school. champion. Sperie Perakos; Walnut Hill school. champion, Jo- seph Biscola: Bartlett school. cham pion. Edward Marcienczyk and Northend school. champion. Louis Vendor.

White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1927-04-22

O'Neill understood what was about
to happen and consequently redoubled
his efforts to free himself. Ignoring
the helpless rancher, the Black Rider
drew closer to Nan with the 1.-the, soft
foot movements of a cat, while the ter
rified girl covered away from his re-
lentless approach. Oblivious to every
thing but the shrinking girl, he
reached to seize her.
Hands up!" voice shouted, as the
outer door slammed on the heavy still
ness. 9TH games up! I've got you
dead! Move an it is your finish!"
With a snarling oath, the Black
Rider fired blindly into the blackness
beyond the open door of the Office
and at the same time lunged toward
the lamp on the desk to sweep it to
the floor. The thunder of another gun
blended with the roar of the bandits
Nan saw the Black Rider hesitate and
sway drunkenly. His forty-f1ve fell
from his loosened grasp and thumped
to the boards. He swung half way
around and then jerked back as though
pulled by string. Suddenly his
knees buckled and he collapsed on his
face, as Gaines came rushing in with
smoking revolver in his left fist
and with his right arm in sling.
Are you all right?" he asked Nan
solicitously.
