Douglas High School Gets Language Lab;
Many New Instructors Will Join Staff
By PHEBE McGUIRE
Over a century ago during the
organization of the first school dis
trict, Meeting The Needs of the
Space Age in the educational sys
tem was hardly in the minds of
the early settlers. Yet they were
unknowningly preparing for the
space age needs of today as they
erected crude one room log cabins
to be used for the education of
their children. Many of the ori
ginal log cabin schools have be
come the sites for the many new
and modern schools erected to
meet the present day needs.
Since the last consolidation with
the Dillard School District in 1952
by the Tenmile and Lookingglass
areas, the beginning of each fall
term has shown considerable in
crease in enrollment. In January
of 1953, with the oepning of th.
Douglas High School, the over
crowded enrollment was eased to
some extent. However, it soon be
came necessary to erect the new
Winston School, which was ready
for occupancy, August 31, 1959. The
addition of four rooms will be made
during 1961 through usage of the
serial levy to meet the demands
of steadily increasing enrollment.
The physical need at Tenmile
became so great the past year that
construction of two class rooms,
a multi-purpose and health rooms
are now in progress with comple
tion anticipated for the opening of
6Chool, bept. 6.
An additional 10 acres adjoining
the Winston Community Park has
been purchased by the district for
the erection of a much needed
elementary school, which will be
constructed within the next two or
tliree years.
The addition of four new teach
ers in the district will alleviate the
over crowded classroom condi
tions which have prevailed during
the past school term. With this
addition of teachers, two at Dil
lard and one in Tenmile, the over
crowded situation has been over
come for the present and for the
first time a reasonable number of
students can now be situated in
adequate space for suitable train
ing and attention, according to
Superintendent George Corwin.
Although no extensive construc
tion is underway other than the
additional rooms at Tenmile, the
play shed at Lookingglass school,
which burned in July of this year,
is being re-built. Completion is
scheduled for the fall term.
Douglas High School is now un
dergoing considerable plumbing
renovation. A language laborator
for the first and second years of
French has been added to the
high school curriculum this term
with anticipated addition ot an
other language within the next
three years. J. C. Ross, biology in
structor, has completed construc
tion of the booth to be used in
the laboratory. Other equipment
used includes a tape recorder and
speakers for contact among the
student and instructor.
The only major project planned
for the year at Douglas High will
be the general evaluation of t h e
school system, which includes par
ticipation of all instructors and
will extend during the school term.
In the fall several daministrators
from other schools, including pro
fessors and personnel from the
State Department of Education
will evaluate local findings.
An estimated enrollment of 375
is expected at the high school at
the opening of school, September 6.
Superintendent George Corwin pre
dicts a district enrollment of 1600,
which is 100 over last year school
beginning.

This is the latest major
COUNTY'S NEWEST SCHOOL
school building erected in the county. It is the Winston
Grande School, which was completed in 1959 to meet ex
panding school populations. It will soon, however, be neces-
sary to add four classrooms because of continued popu
lation pressures. This is also part of Dillard School Dis
trict's four-year plan for construction.
Myrtle Creeks School Prepared
By LORRAINE BIRENBAUM
Improvements in the Myrtle
Ceek and Tri City schools over
the summer months were many.
In the high school and upper
elementary buildings, rooms were
revised to provide teachers room
AL NEET will continue in his
post as superintendent of the
Myrtle Creek Public Schools.
COMMON SCHOOL FUND
The Common School Fund, often
called the irreducible school fund,
was established by the federal gov
ernment when Oregon became a
state.
The 16th and 32nd section of land
in each township was dedicated to
si-hnnl sunnort. The better lands
were sold when land was not worth
much. The capital has been in
vested and cannot be used.
This is the sense of the term
"Irreducible." Returns from the
investment are distributed to dis
tricts on a census basis. It is now
approximately 85 cents per school
age child.
in each of these buildings. Tile
was laid in the Tri City Multipur
pose room, with a basketball court
laid out in the tile. An outdoor
basketball court was built at the
primary building in Myrtle Creek.
A new retaining wall and some
landscaping was done in front ot
the shop building. The parking
areas of the Myrtle Creek and Tri
City schools will be improved with
a double layer of oil.
There was a little painting done
inside, some exterior painting on
the various porchways of the dif
ferent schools. All the science
tables in the high school were re
finished with formica tops.
A major improvement was the
installation of a cement encased
heat line running from the boiler
room to the high school. This will
greatly improve the heating in the
high school as thero will be no
heat loss as was in the past.
Both Suthcrlin and Dillard school
districts approved serial bond is
sues in elections this year. At Suth
crlin, $30,000 was approved for the
ll-62 budget to assure complC'
tion of a new junior high. At Dil
lard, the district approved $50,000
to be raised each year for four
years to cover costs of additions to
Tenmile. Dillard and Winston
schools.
A cement ramp from the Evm
to the high school was built in
place of the wooden stairs, which
should allow for quicker movement
from the gym to the high school.
The administration of the Myr
tle Creek School District will re
main the same. Seventy - seven
teachers have been hired for an
anticipated enrollment of approxi
mately 1600 students.
Double Shift
To Continue
At Rosehurg
An increase of about 210 stu
dents has been predicted fur the
lloseburg schools by school super
intendent M. C. Deller. Tentative
figures released by Deller indicat
ed that there will be 1.545 high
school students. 1.000 iunior hiuh
school students, and 3,522 elemen
tary students.
Deller said that because of an
over supply of junior high school
students, coming :;s n result of
Iho loss of Central Junior High
School last year, temporary rooms
are being constructed in the multi
purpose room of Joseph Lane Jun
ior High School building. Students
at the Joseph Lane school will op
erate on a double shift basis again
this year, Deller added.
A total of 42 jew teachers have
been employed in the RosebuTg
schools for the upcoming school
year. There will be 14 new senior
high school teachers, six at tho
junior high schools, 2t at the
elementary level, one new special
education teacher, an I cue new
teacher at the Park School.
Exact bus routes for the coming
year have not as yet been deter
mined, Deller said. A full sched
ule of routes will appear in the
News-Review prior to the opening
of school, Deller added.
Deller said that at the elemen
tary level there will be some shift
ing of students between schools.
He said this was caused by somo
elementary schools having too
many of one grade level and not
enough of another. Thus some stu
dents may he transported to
schools other than what would bo
their normal one in order to make
full classes at all the schools.
Deller said that as ot the opening
of school all elementary schildren
south of McKay's Market on South
Stephens St. would attend th
Green school.
The Douglas County Rural School
budget was approved in every dis
trict but two this year. Voting
against the budget were Oakland
and Gardiner.
