UP AMD STILL STATE BOARD LEAVES MAT TER WITH LEGISLATURE. proposition Up to Abolish All Schools But One, Centrally Located Smith Will Lead Fight Bragg Returns Home Last Evening Large Appro, priation. ' ,:. i . ; , ' Balem, Oct 12. (Special to the Ore gonlan.),; When the state Normal school board adjourned its annual sea son tonight after completing its re port to the next legislature, it left the Normal school question as far from settled as ever. The board recom mended Normal echool appropriations amounting to $330,000 for the ensu ing two years, but the board was una ble to agree upon the , number of schools that should be maintained. . The majority of the board, com posed of Governor Chamberlain, Sec retary of State Benson, Superintendent Ackerman, Colonel !E. . jlofer, Judge Stephen Lowell and H'. J. Maler,' faver the maintenance of three, Monmouth, Weston and Ashland. The minority, W. B. Ayer and C. G. Spence, will file a minority report favoring two, or perhaps only one. Mr. Maler declared before the board adjourned that this minority report will throw the old fight into the legislature again, ajd that the recommendations of the ma jority will not be heeded. - State Sen ator J. N. Smith or Marion, will lead the fight In the legislature for one Normal. , ' Equul Sum fcr Each School. The board recommends that qual amounts be appropriated for each of the three Normals., The amounts rec ommended are stated in a lump sum, however, for one board expends the money for each of the schools. i-he purposes'for which appropria tions are asked are; Three new .dormitories. . . ., .$150,000 Salaries . v- General maintenance , Libraries Additional land ...... Expenses of the board 110,000 45,000 .. 2.000 S.SO0 8,51)0 Total .....3330,000 The three dormitories, the erection of which the board, ad vises, will have i room for, 100 students each, and will , Include dining hall and kitchen. The $50,000 appropriation ot, each is to rover furnishing. Some of the institu tions wanted other buildings, but the board thought best not to ask for more building appropriations 6t this time, and the demand for other buildings must wait the attention of subsequent legislatures. -I 1 "v . The amount of the appropriations axked was not questioned by any mem - ber of the board.'. Mr. Ayer, the most active minority member, said that he deems the amounts too small, rather than too large It three Normals are to De operated, but he will right; upon, tne proposition that only two, or perhaps only one Normal should be maintain ed. Ayer's position is that If this $150, 000 were put into one good school and only a portion of the salary and main tenance fund expended In the opera tion of one school, a higher grade' of Normal work would be maintained and thereby a larger number of students would be attracted to the Institution and a larger number of qualified teachers would be turned out each year. He figured that with a present attendance of 850 students the expend itures for operation alone will be $175,- ooo for the three schools for two years, of $250 per year per student, - which he thought too much. . He would build up one strong nor mal first, and when the number of students became so large as to demand another Institution, he would establish another. He would not locate a stats Normal in Portland, for he believed that Portland should maintain a Nor mat for the training of its own teach ers. Teachers for rural schools should U trained In Normals" located In the mailer towns, he asserted. Other members of the board who fa or maintaining three Normals argued i that not more than 10 per cent of the 000 state teacher are Normal grad uues, and that In order to secure trained teachers the state must main tain Normal schools In different parts t the state. ThU to made necessary. aid Colonel Hofer by the geograpb ral divisions of the state, by distances sparse population. Colonel Ilofer also expressed his regret over the' de 'ermmatlon of Mr. Ayer to file a mi nority report, because It will cause the papers to print the amount ef ap froprtatlons asked and will lead to a hammering of the normal schools by in press. Superintendent Ackerman said that lie were establishing a Normal school policy for. the state, he would maintain only one school, but. since there are two or three, he believes it best to continue them, . State Senator J. N. Smith of Marlon, who has given a great deal of. atten tion to the Normal school question,' said tonight thaj he will introduce a bill in the net legislature abolishing all the present Normals and establish ing one Normal near Portland. He will do that in the Interest of both economy and efficiency.- ' Senator Smith was in consultation with mem- bers of the board today, though he did not attend the meeting. Bestdea recommending the appro priations stated above, the board adopted a report directing that the total salaries at each of the Normals be limited to $20,000 a year; that sal aries of instructors range from $1000 to $1600, and that not to exceed 21 In structors be employed. . Reports of the Normals for the first month of the present year show the following enrollments: Ashland, 106,' Monmouth, 108; Weston, 154;' total, I T. E. Etf Bragg, the eastern Oregon representative on the board, returned last evening from Salem, where he at tended the above board meeting. s Time Is rapidly' appisaachlngwhn there will be no more opportunity to register.
