and 1,135,000 homes destroyed In
the bombing of Tokyo, Osaka,

It admits also that Jap rail

that the military has had to take
them over and run them.
Germany taught us that de

DO YOU WANT EFFICIENCY?
By Charle V. Stanton
Do you, if you are a resident of Roseburg, want continued
elliciency in' our school system? Of course you do. But
(to you desire that efficiency enough to trouble yourself to
go to the Junior High school building Monday afternoon,
July 9, 2 to 7 o'clock, and mark a ballot?
Very few people only' 52, in fact were sufficiently
concerned to go to the polls to vote consolidation with Eden
bower. Less than 20 per cent went to their respective
polling places Juno 22 to vote on such an important matter
as setting up a ?10 million postwar reserve fund for needed
buildings and facilities at state institutions.
It is quite possible that unless we have more than 20
per cent of Koseburg voters at next Monday's election, our
school Bystem may be hopelessly crippled.
Any issue which involves more taxes automatically receives
some negative voles. There are people who have no inter
est in our corporate organizations, the efficiency of our
school, municipal, county or state government; people who
have no concern for progress, development or improve
ment, 'i'hey are interested only in saving money and would
starve our public institutions to save themselves a few
dollars in taxes.
Thus, we may be sure there will be negative votes. We
do not anticipate a great many such votes, as our popula
tion, for the most part, is interested in progress and, par
ticularly, in maintaining high standards of education.
Hut those people who vote "Is'o" on the proposal to in
crease the school budget over the six per cent limitation
will be out in force. If proponents of good education fail to
bestir themselves, and treat the local measure with the
same indifference shown in the elections last month one
local and one state-wide there is serious danger that the
proposal will fail of passage and our school system be de
moralized. Temporary Increases in taxes go hand in hand with pro
gress. An influx of new population adds to the cost of
municipal government, schools and public services. Due to
the operation of the six per cent limitation law, our tax
base cannot advance as rapidly as corporate expenses. Con
sequently we must, if we propose to provide services in
keeping with our community pride and our regard for good
government and efficient schools, assume an additional
tax burden.
Our school officials have made careful estimate of antici
pated enrollment for the coming year. ThiH figure of more
than 2,000 pupils is an increase of-17 per cent over last
year. Compared with the school year of 1942-43, the in
crease would be approximately 33 per cent. Obviously we
cannot expect to operate our schools on a decent level- with
out upping the budget by a very considerable amount.
More tlmn $10,000 of the increase over last year's, budget
will-bo required to meet the cost of 15 more teachers than
considered in any previous budget Last year we added
lour more teachers than the budget called for, due to a
10 per cent enrollment increase. Next year, with an esti
mate of 2,042 students, as compared with 1,595 in 1943-44,
an increase of 457 in enrollment, we will need ll teachers
in addition to the four added last year, or 15 in all since
the 1943-44 budget. Thi9 averages out to about 30 pupils
per teacher, which any one will admit, we believe, is getting
around the danger point for efficiency in instruction.
The problem simmers down to this: Do we want effic
ient schools? If we do, then we must turn out in large
numbers at the special school election from 2 to 7 p. m.
Monday, July 5) that's next Monday and authorize the
board of school directors to levy a tax in excess of the 6
por cent limitation and in keeping with the budget prev
iously published. If we have as few voters as turned out in
the two special elections hold recently, there is great danger
that our schools for the coming year will be very sketchy
indeed.

We meant to mention It last

with coining program changes
there wasn't room, but .. did you
hear Fulton Lewis, Jr.. in his
broadcast on the Fourth of July?
Personally, we aren't what you'd
call a Fulton Lewis fan, but we
always look forward to his
Christmas and Independence Dav
broadcasts and this year, perhaps
more man any or the others, we
enjoyed the repeat of his annual
broadcast. He makes history
come alive makes you pause and
realize that the day to day news
oroaticasts we are hearing are
making history comparable to the
historic day Mr. Lewis descrilirs
so vividly on his Fourth of July

the ideal way to teach history
