Stanton Elsewhere on this page today are letters both for and apsinst the budget which comes before voters of the r.o?e burr school district at tomorrow's special election. We find disturbing some of the opinions expressed :n the letters opposing the budget; disturbing because of the emotional appeal and unrealistic appraisal of facts and con- Just because the old one-room school, with its rough- j hewn seats and benches, its common drinking cup, poor light-1 jng ana venmauon, wim ucai num -w, ----- stove, produced educated people for their day and age, how many parent would want their children to attend such schools today? How many qualified teachers could we em ploy for S35 or $40 a month? But S55 or ?40 per month in the times referred to by the writer was a salary comparable with that received by other workers. The reader should also keep in mind that the average worker in those days had no automobile, no radio, no re frigerator, no washing machine, no electric or gas range, nor other of the comforts considered essential in the modern home. A person could buv for $12 a suit of clothes compar able with a $75 suit today. Can we expect today's schools at yesterday's costs?

And so it is with our schools. If we want schools meet- ' ? the demand, of today, we prices for education. We must decide tomorrow whether we want efficient schools or whether our school system is to be so badly crip pled that it will take many years for recovery. We should ' face this issue squarely on a bM? of fact and not emotion. We believe the advice piven us by men and women in whom we have the utmost trust that we can"t maintain ef ficiency in our schools with less money than aked for in the budget. It seems the proof of thst claim is to he found in th very fart that we will have more children in school and. therefore, will need more monev than last year. Surely we can't expect to educate more children with less money. Honest appraisal of school compel even- person havinp of our school system to support the budget at tomorrow's election.

School Election Not ; Timt To" Chang Budget ROSEBURG Recent action! and lack of action of our citiiens j prompt this letter. The timewora phrase, "the pub-; iic'a business is everybody's busi ness and nobody's business" wou.d ; seem to apply to us locally. He are a fine eiamp'e of the value : we place on ourselves and our Jh ' dividual vote on public affairs. Let's remind ourselves now of one , side of the picture. j We cannot discredit "the little i red scboolbouse" which cradled our public education. Americans ; value and recogniie it as a pre- i ciout heritage, but one too easiiyj tanen ior grantea, as are uei many good things of our land and ' the American life. Good schoo l j do not just happen. People first : have to take enough interest to j care. , It also seems logical that we 1 should occasionally realize our, human tendency to glorify the past i especially in our feelings re- i garding school curricula. Win doubts that the world is changinj at a rap:d pace We must face the I issue of the adequacy of this gold en legend of our past to suffice , entirely as the only tools today's j children need, whose responsibi.-1 ities as citizens must extend be- yond the boundaries of the United j Slates. As future citizens of th.s i world, whose myriad problems j they will inherit because of our ' frailties and inadequacies to meet ! changes, can we afford to handi cap them because of our relue- tance to face up to our present sit-1 uation honestly? For, let us say. the cost to an average home owner j of two dollars a year? j Why are we apathetic about ourj most vital "industry," schools? Why are we willing to decide an important budget vote on distort- ed "information. " passed from I friend to stranger? As parents, i why are we too busy to express i an opinion at the polls? If we have questions, the logical and . fair procedure would be to go to ! the source for a trie understand-1 m; and an answer based on fact. ' We become aroused, no douot i about that. But what sensible thing! do we do about it? We childishly! biame our protests on "frills, ni- i mors, personalities." This should not enter into the question of whether this school district main tains its standards. Aren't these separate problems? i Certaimy. 1 would agree witb other writers that property is tax clP-e- " we academic program e ave seems unrealistic to us ia oepartment, we can remem- ber ;t i the closest interpretation t and construcure criticism at : the low P-h it hat ctnl t ho c . consirucuve criticism at J the low ebb it has stood these i many years.

Are the school teachers and the high school students of to day too nice to dean up the dirty mess thev make, or must the little children suffer and the jan itor work go undone in order to keep the school tax from going over 80 to 90 per cent of our Ux burden? It did not cost as much fur the president's education. It seems to be the idea of some people that the more it costs for instructors and the more students are pampered, the smarter they'll be. However, many boys who worked all day and studied their books at night, with only four to six months each year in a country school, taught by a teacher who got a salary of $35 to $40 a month, are our best and most honest citizens today. One of them lives in Roseburg Through his own efforts he has be come the lumber inspector over all lumber inspectors on the Pa cific Coast. I was a school direc tor in the district where he attend ed school of winters. He, worked on the farm all the time be was not in school. I think it is that dass of boys wbo become good honest leaders in our state and federal govern ment. Not the boys that are too good to work. Do you know that some of these pampered youths will sweat to pay off these bonds that their parents are voting? As much money is spent for non-essentials as for ed ucation. Do you think we have reached the place where the wealthy can not oav their taxe and that we with no income will have to eat from garbage cans?
