This is one of the best musical in

people in this city and valley are
begininng todiscover the advantage
of this school. The system is the
latest and most practical, and in
cludes all the latest discoveries in
the art of teaching music. The
school is divided into two depart
ments; No. 1 is for beginners from
S years or more and are taught
the first three grades. Pupils come
one hour each day. This is no kin
dergarten system but far superior.
In No. 2 the grades are from 3 to
15. Here they graduate. Pupils
take one or two lessons a week as
they desire. No scholars will be

IS
An increase of $1 25.000 in the amount
of money expended for public school pur
poses in Oregon in 1906 as compared
with 1 905, though the number of pupils
in the schools remains practically unchan
ged is one of the principal features ef ed
ucational development shown by the an
nual Statistical report of Superintendent
of Public Instruction Ackerman.
The increase in the amount of money
paid for teachers' salaries was $160,000
in one year, this increase being due in
part to higher salaries and partly to long
er terms of school. Some of the other
iiemi oi expense nave been reduced to
counter-balance in part the increased ex
penditures in teachers' sala. ies.
The total school population shows ai
the enrollment increased only about 600
and the average daily attendance fell off
37. The average length of the school
year increased very little, the report for
1005 showing 6.05 months and that of
1906 showing 6.1 9 months. Maleteach
ers seem to have profited most by the
increase in salaries, for their compensa
tion on an average, advanced from $55.
69 per month, to $60.02 per month,
while the compensation of females in
creased only from $43.50 to $54.05.
jnepuDiic scnoois employed J5 more
teachers than in 1905.

MUTUAL (ArWRY EXPANDS
When the season for canning pears be
gan, a week ago. business at the Sakm
Mutual Gnnnery assumed such immense
proportions that it was at once necessary
to enlarge the piant. A few days ago
workmen were hurriedly got together and
a shed for storing fruit, 43 by 30 feet
was erected. This proved inadequate,
and twenty men are working today on
another shed 50 by 75 feet in size. In
the meantime pears are packed all over
the place, and the management is work
ing as many people as can find room to
move about ii. the cannery.
Pears are coming in rapidly, the warm
weather causing them to ripen very fast,
and after as many are canned here as the
capacity of the plant will admit, the re
mainder is shipped to the Portland factory.
