IMPROVING OUR SCHOOLS Iff 7
News
By CHARLES V. STANTON
Included in the forthcoming school budget will be a tenta
tive epproprii'tion to cover employment of a building main
tenance superintendent While this item is an addition to the
budget, it will prove one of saving rather than expense, in
our opinion. Not only would a maintenance superintendent
keep buildings in better condition than at present, but he
would be able to make many minor improvements at com
paratively little cost, while reducing annual maintenance
charges and giving longer life to the various structures,
We have personally examined some of the school buildings
and have inquired into matters about whkh complaint has
been raised iy patrons. It is our opinion that few of these
complaints could not be satisfied by application of a few
gallons of paint and a considerable amount of elbow grease
We have had, for instance, a number of reports about
conditions at the Benson school.
In company with some of the member? of the budget
committee ws recently visited this building.
The Benson school building is a good structure. It is well
built and has many years of life left if given proper attention,
Much complaint has been received concerning toilets for
both boys and girls. Those complaints are well founded. The
rooms are badly in need of paint. Toilet seats are cracked,
warped and improperly maintained.
Application of soap and water would work wonders
Coupled with paint, replacement of broken seats, installa
tion of spring seats on toilets in the boys' lavatory, and a
general cleaning, the faults could be completely remedied at
minor cost. The job, of course, would involve considerable
work.
We were shown that few of the windows in the building
could be opened or closed, making ventilation difficult. This
could be remedied in a few hours by a handyman. Our ob
servation was that the building also would be vastly bene
fitted by washing the windows.
P'loors and stair treads are worn. Stair treads should be
replaced. Floors should be covered with an asphalt tile or
other surfacing. Installation of a fire-resistant wallboard to
cover cracked plaster on walls and ceilings would not only
improve appearance but save fuel and partly relieve the
existing difficulty encountered in keeping rooms warm
during school hours.
We were shown cabinet doors that will not stay latched,
and other doors that are difficult to open. The kitchen has
cabinet which has never been painted and is still in the
raw. The kitchen and lunch room were spotlessly clean, but
need paint badly.
Much patchwork remodeling has been necessitated by
overcrowding, and the installations have been left in a very
crude state. By installing moulding and applying paint,
appearances could be vastly improved.
We use the Benson school ns an example only because of
our visit there within the past few days. The same situation,
in only slightly varying form, can be found in nearly all our
school buildings.
The proposed budget provision would set up needed su
pervision over the janitor service. It would permit employ
ment of a man who could do the handyman mechanics
painting, minor plumbing, minor carpentry, adjustments to
windows and doors, etc. so badly needed and which jrinl-
tors do not have time to do. Ho would have access to the
ell equipped manual arts shops in the high school where
he could fabricate his carpentry installations. The agri
cultural machine shop would furnish equipment for use in
connection with plumbing and metal work. Purchase of port
able air compressor and paint spray gun would soon pay
its cost in interior painting.
Tho need for a general maintenance superintendent is very
evident to even the casual observer who inspects any of our
school buildings.
We have been informed that the budget board is endeavor
ing to induce Jim Mess to take the job if the item is approved
when the budget is submitted to voters. We can think of no
one better suited for the position. Mess is reluctant to assume
the task because he can earn moro money in other work, but
being a member of the budget board he is aware of the need
and may consent to a personal sacrifice in order that he may
be of public service. He already has outlined short cuts in
maintenance which would more than pay the proposed
salary established in tho tentative budget
Even though the proposed item is a new one in the Rose
burg school budget, coming at a timo when our minds are
on elimination of all possible advances in school costs, we
believe employment of a building superintendent has been
delayed too long and should not be neglected further.
DON'T let your worries get you
down. Bishop.
. Whenever we pause for a care
ful check-up, wc discover that the
boys and girls from across the
&acks have somehow done their
part.
