8 The Newi-Revlew, Roseburg,
State Board
To Consider
180-Day Year
Oregon's controversial proposed
180 - day school year will again
come to the forefront Sept. 4-6
when the state Board of Education
meets at Salem.
At that time, the board is ex
pected to refer the question to the
1959 legislature. It has been pro-
f rased that the school year be
cngthened from the present 170
days to 180.
The Roseburg School Board went
on record in April opposing the
180-day school year. The district
sent a recommendation to the State
Board of Education stating it's op
position. At the same time, Douglas Coun
ty School Supt. Kenneth F. Barne
burg told the State Board of Edu
cation, i a letter, he is in favor of
the 180-day school year to permit
"More emphasis on basic sub
jects."
The state board has asked Rex
Putnam, state ' superintendent of
public instruction, to study the
question and report at the Septem
ber meemg.
Objections to the 180-days has
been made by farm groups who
say that a longer school year
would mean fewer children to har
vest crops.
Music Courses
Gain In Favor
A fanfare for fall will echo down
the streets and sound in the stad
iums of the nation as 68,000 school
bands and orchestras swing Into
a new session.
The American Music Conference
reports that the number of bands
has almost doubled since World
War II and the number of orches
tras has grown even more.
Children playing musical Instru
ments and getting Instrumental in
struction m schools, and with pri
vate teachers, today numbers
about 8,000,000 compared with only
z,3uu,uuu in j4(. one youngster in
every four participates in musical
activities.
In many high schools, the large
number of youngsters who vie for
position in the regular band has
often necessitated a second band
to handle the overflow.
Helps Spirit
School authorities recognize the
band as a rallying point for school
spirit and an excellent way to
build group cooperation. The per
severanco and concentration that
learning a musical instrument re
quires usually carries over into
other classroom studies, it Is found.
The jpportunity for worthwhile
recognition from their community
and friends, the out-of-town trips
ana cumpeiiuons maxe ine extra
hours of practice seem worthwhile
to the young musicians.
In Dr. James Bryant Conant's
survey of high school education
for the Carnegie Corp., music was
one of three courses recommend
ed for the curriculum of all types
of studenta slow, bright and
average.

Glide School History
Traced Back 36 Years
From three one - room log hous
es to six modern buildings hous
ing a total of 583 students that
is the hhtorv of the phenomenal
growth of the Glide school district
in the last 36 years.
In the years 1900 - 1920, there
were three different districts in
the vicinity of Glide, each with
only one log cabin which constitut
ed the school house. One of the
schools was called Lone Rock, lo
cated across the road from the
present Red Barn Restaurant; the
second. Fall Creek, was located on
the north side of Little River road
about four miles from Glide; and
the third, Mount Scott school was
located on the former Judge Bow
ker property, the present De
Shields place.
There is no record of the teach
ers in the intervening years up
to 1921. Carl Hill, (former county
court judge) taught at Lone Rock
School; Kathryn Leavenworth,
(present Mrs. Robert Matther;
taught at Fall Creek School and
Miss Hazel Mulkey (present Mrs.
Roll Schick) taught at Mt. Scott.
School Consolidated
In 1921, residents held a special
election and voted to consolidate
the three schools and build a com
bined grade and high school, as
the teaching in these school end
ed at the eighth grade. The stu
dents wishing further education
had to to to Roseburg to attend
high school. Very few automobiles
were owned by residents at that
time, and even these cars could
not be driven tp Roseburg in the
winter, as there were only dirt
roads. Transportation was by horse
drawn vehicles only. Parents had
to pay board and room for their
children to attend high school.
Results of the election, bonds to
the amount of $16,000 were approv
ed. The present Glide Grade School

location was selected and seven
acres were purchased from S. J.
Shrum.
The concrete building was com
pleted in 1922. The new school op
ened with four teachers, Mr. and
Mrs. Car E. Hill, Mrs. Evangeline
Leyton, and Miss Frances Hennig
er. Mrs. Leyton was principal in
1922 but Carl Hill became prin
cipal in 1923, serving a term of 8
years. Eighty students enrolled in
grade and high school on the open
ing day. The 1958 school year en
rollment in Glide Elementary
(first through eighth grades) and
the high school was 583 students,
200 in high school and 383 elemen
tary and upper elementary. In ad
dition to the Glide grade and high
school, there is a grade school at
Deer Creek, (Dixonville) and one
at Toketee; enrolled at Deer Creek,
135, and Tokettee Falls, 38.
Headed by Supt. Harry Harvie,
the Glide School System has 35
teachers at Glide; eight at Deer
Creek and two at Toketee. Anoth
er teacher will be added to the
Toketee staff at the opening of
the fall term.
Following the' opening of the
Glide School, other small schools
in the North Umpqua area, re
quested to consolidate with Glide
and were accepted; the Peel
School on Little River; the Deer
Creek School; the Bungalow School
on Buckhorn road: the Oak Creek
School near Singleton road and the
Sunshine Ranch School. During the
following years, additional rooms
were added to the building. In
1928, a separate gymnasium was
built. In 1948, another separate
building was constructed, eight
classrooms, health room, offices of
the school and a storage room.
In 1950, the buildings were in
adequate for the increase of pu
pils because of the heavy logging
industry which opened in the com
munity. An election was called and
$400,000 in bonds were voted to
construct a high school building,
gymnasium and offices. The school
board purchased a 14 acre site ad
joining the school ground, facing
the North Umpqua highway from
Mack Brown, Gene Shrum and
Bob Casebeer.
Industrial Builders, contractors,
started construction in October
1951 and completed it in August
1952. Furnisture and equipment to
the amount of $58,149 was pur
chased, ready for the opening of
school in September.
Crowded Conditions
In 1953, enrollment had increas
ed both in high school and grade
school. The grade school cafeteria
had a serious problem to provide
hot lunches for all the pupils. The
high school needed a cafeteria of
it's own, a band room, and the
offices were too small. Classrooms
had to be arranged in the base
ment of the grade school, even
the boiler room had to be utilized
for a class room. The addition to
the high school was approved by
the voters. Construction was com
pleted in September 1954 and 1955
at a cost of $137,418; equipment
$25,445. "Superintendent's build
ing," as it is termed, north of the
high school building has six class
rooms, cafeteria, multi - purpose
room, band and music rooms, and
superintendent's office which in
cludes the school board meeting
room. The seventh and eighth
grade students were moved from
the grade school to the new build
ing. Again, the Glide School Board
faced the problem of over crowd
ed classrooms. High School sev
enth and eighth grade students
from Deer Creek had been trans
ported to Glide by bus, and To
ketee students were attending
Glide High, the School Board pay
ing $2.50 per day towards room
and board. The answer to this
problem was the Junior High
Building completed in January
1957 at a cost of $117,099.25, equip
ment cost $25,089. This building
has six classrooms and a princi
pal's office.
In December 1957 Junior High
students wanted the high school
gymnasium for basketball prac
tise or other events, but such dates
conflicted with high school sched
uled use of the gymnasium, and
juniors would have to use the
grade school gymnasium. Then
to top this trouble, the Board of
Health notified the board the grade
school cafeteria, located in the
basement of the school, would only
be permitted to operate to the end
of the 1957-58 school year. The
dressing rooms and showers in
the grade school were condemn
ed in the spring of 1958.
New Comtruction
The only remedy was the build
ing of a new gymnasium combined
with a grade school cafeteria. The
school board and Supt. Harry Har
vie visited schools in Douglas and
Lane counties and developed a plan
for a multipurpose building for the
Glide grade school.
In May, the Glide School district
voters passed the district's budget
calling for a levy of $307,543 out
side the 6 per cent limitation which
included $95,000 for the new grade
school multipurpose building. Arch
itects, Briscoe and Mizell of Eu
gene, drew the plans for the 110'
by 92' width building to be used for
the following activities; upper
grade gym, cafeteria for grade
school, primary playroom in wet
weather, physical education both
primary and upper grades, auditor
ium for upper grades and pri
mary grades, dressing rooms for
upper elementary athletics, sum
mer recreation program for visit
ing teams (baseball and football)
and meeting place for Boy and Cub
Scouts and PTA.
The Glide Community Club sup
ported by other clubs in the area,
presented a request to the school
board at it's June 2 meeting, that
the old gymnasium be given to the
Community Club for a community
building, as it had raised a sum of
approximately $3,000 to cover the .
expense of moving the building to
the lot leased by the club on the
North Umpqua highway west of
Glide Sporting Goods Store. By a
unanimous vote of the board mem
bers the request was granted.
