Three Douglas Schools Get Increased Ratings Myrtle Creek, Sutherlin and Reedsport union high school have advanced from second to first class ratings due to Increase In school enrollments, County School Superintendent Bar n e b u r g an nounced. The higher school district rat ings indicate that these areas have moved into the "over 1,000" class. However, Barneburg reported that all three districts voted to re main under the rural school dis trict setup, rather than form their own city school systems. County Views Construction Student Gain (Continued From Page One) year and Glide students will be gin their second year in their new grade school building. Days Creek Is also planning a build ing program for sometime this coming year. GlendMe, following the pioneer ing of Day Creek last year, Is building "teacherages," district owned living quarters as a solu tion to the housing shortage. Last, but far from least, Is 5 I gSW TAlellA WIIJ I taVIVIIa7 9 Urgently Need More Housing In spite of what City School Superintendent Paul S. Elliott term "line cooperation" from Roseburg residents, several new city school teachers are still with out homes for the coming school year. Elliott said the most pressing need at the moment is for rooms for tingle teachers and houses for "at least" two married teachers with families. He said several offers have been phoned in to the city school district office but that many more are needed. The 28 additional teachers added to the Roseburg teaching staff must find satisfac tory living quarters within the next several days. The new teachers have been hired to help alleviate the teach ing shortage caused by the great ly increased enrollment esti mated by city officials to be the largest crop of students in the city's history. Funds Allotted For City's Airport Runway Tentative allocations for air port improvements in Oregon in clude $121,000 for a new runway at Roseburg, the Civil Aeronaut ics administration announced at Portland today. This was contained In a CAA report stating that nearly $1, 000.000 went Into Oregon airport improvements during the year ending July 31. Of this amount, federal funds were $545,659. the one-room school house be ing built at Anchor. Barneburg said that community is very re mote but that the population warrants some educational facil ities. A modern one-room school house is the answer. Although no accurate estimate is available as to the number of students who will enroll in the county's schools, Barneburg and his staff of workers are sure that previous attendance records will fall. Excluding Roseburg, total of 6,742 p'ipils were enrolled in county grade and high schools last year. Barneburg said a cen sus of five-year-olds taken during the 1948-49 school year indicated that approximately 1,061 young sters should enter the first grade this year. However, he feels this figure is low 'by at least 20 percent." Caul S. tlliott said that two of the rooms in the above pictured extension may have to be used by high school students. The picture shows only about half of the construction going on at the school. Omitted from the photo are the heating tunnels be. ing run to the grade school from the new central heating plant located next to the senior high school.

BACK TO SCHOOL DAZE Record Enrollment, Lack Of Classroom Space Harass City, County Educators With the opening of school less than a month away, the remainder of the summer "va cation" period will find city and many county educators in a Birth Record, Exams Needed By Registrants First, Ninth Graders Affected By State Law, County Sup't. Reminds Parents of youngsters about to begin their education in the coun ty schools were reminded today that all prospective first graders are required to have birth certifi cates with them on enrollment day. "The state law will not permit children to start school unless they have reached their sixth birthday on or before Nov. 15," said County School Superintend ent Kenneth Barneburg. As proof of their age, children must present birth certificates to their teachers when they register for school. Barneburg said no ex ceptions will be permitted. "Even a child whose sixth birth day falls on Nov. 16 will not be permitted to enroll," Barneburg said. He explained that this arbitrary line was drawn by the state school system primarily for the proec tion of the students. He said ex perience has shown that many youngsters are not ready, either physically or emotionally, to be gin education at an earlier age. The state ruling is an effort to protect them, as well as an at tempt to group children of the same prospective educational level. Another requirement In the form of a state law is the ruling which requires all first and ninth graders to have physical examina tions before starting the school yea-. A licensed physician must give his approval in the form of a certificate before children may enter these grades. Barneburg said some school dis tricts in the county are saving on the expense of these examinations by organizing on a clinical basis and having all the children ex amined at one time. Consolidations Noted By Sup't. Barneburg County School Surjerintendent Kenneth Barneburg announced only two school districts have con solidated In the past year. narnenurg said the Melrose-Elgarose-Cleveland consolidation resulted in one laree district, now known as Melrose, Until the pro posed Melrose grade school Is completed, students will attend classes in the old buildinRs. me 1 lller urpw consolidation Is now called the Tiller district, with students attending school there, he said.

New State Law On School Bus Stop Explained School buses stopped along the roadway to load or unload pas sengers must be regarded ai though they were stop signs, re minds the secretary of state's traffic safety division. This will call for the formation of a new driving habit on the part of Oregon motor vehicle operators when schools re-open next month, safety officials point out. Under the terms of Oregon's new school bus stopping law adopted by the state legislature early last spring, all vehicles must come to a complete stop on two lane nignways wnen meeting or overtaking a school bus that has stopped to load or unload chil dren. Vehicles may not proceed, the law declares, "if and so long as any school children are leaving the school bus or crossing the highway." Before its passage, school buses could be passed by other vehicles wunoui stopping provided speed was held to maximum dl 15 miles an hour. The new law exempts from topping only those vehicles on the far side of a four-lane high way travelling In the opposite di rection. Similar laws are in effect In at least twenty other states In cluding Washington and Califor nia, the division reported. at Benson Aug. 24, Fullerton Aug. 26 and Riverside Aug. 30. Times will be announced later. Elliott said the city school dis trict is abiding strictly by the state ruling this year and warned parents that no first graders will be permitted to enter school un less they have been examined either by the clinic or by a family doctor.
