That the .school legislation enact ed al the last session id Hie Stale heKiHlature will do much toward the advancement of the educational in stitutions of Oregon, was the .state ment made hero today by J.

Churchill, slate Htiperinlendeul of public instruction, who arrived here earlv today from Salem lo .speak be fore (he meeling of the Pontius County Schoolmnslern' Club, held al the Methodist Kpiseopal Church litis afternoon. Mr. Churchill says h especially pleased wilh the new law: w h ich fixes l he minimum school term at eiht months. t'nder the present law the minimum school let m is six months. Hy the adoption of (his important legislation Mr. Churchill says the schools of the rural districts are placed on au cijuil foot in i,' wilh the educational insti tutions In Ihe larger and more im portant (owns of Ihe county, and the students will be better able to cope with (heir studies than under pres ent cuiidit ions. For many years past Mr. Churchill asserts the schools of ! I lie larger towns of the .state have been in operation for as much as ten months a year, while In the rural districts some of the schools hae : bi" ii in session as little as six i months. As a result, Mr. Churchill says, the pupils of th' country dis iricts have 'been laboring under a handicap, which will be removed through the operation of the new law. The legislation providing for a cbantre in the time of taking the school rt-tisus and the distribution of funds among lh school districts is also eon-dd'-red iiilie important by Mr. Churchill. Supt.
