, I 111 this age when there is always "a picture ahead" am',
when every family has a camera one is apt to take il for
granted that man has always had cameras and photographs
or; to forget that scientists and inventors have spent many
years in first discovering the method of taking pictures
and then perfecting the machinery with which to take them.
' Over in Paris experts in photography liom all parts of
the world attending the international photographic congress
have paid tribute to Joseph Nicephore NieiK'e, who died ir.
Chalons, France, in 1XX. The average layman has nev
heslrd of the man but students of the history ol photography
know him as the man who made the first photograph plate
mid who took the first photography ( ,t ( .,;,,,. ,
i Like many other scientists and inventors Nirpce did not
jive to capitalize his invention. lie joined partnership with
iLo'iiis Jacques Daguerre, alter whom the daguerreotype
jwis named, to make commercial use of his photographic
.process but died in IS!!!), before the first "daguerreotype"
was perfected. The honor and profit due Nitx'c went t
paguerre.
The name of Nicpco has been meaningless to the people
if . this and other countries. A quarter of a century ago
jthC name of Dagtieiro was universally associated with
photography. Improved methods of photography have maoo
jllic daguerreotype obsolete and Daguerre unknown to the
'rising generation. When another : quia tor century, shall
Jinyo passed Daguerre, like Niepee, will live only in books
jon the history of photography.

( .Hudget Director Lord has told the governors of the
Wveral states that what the federal government has ac
Vomplished in the way of economy by means of the budget
;pltln can be accomplished by state and local governments,
j lit is possible that Director Lord may have been over
.tnthusiastic in giving the budget all the credit for 11k
jovyering cost of the national government, although there is
no', doubt that the budget was an important factor.
) :Jf the federal government through the intelligent use of
jit budget can prune $l,2o;!,77l,!)2i) from (lie executive esti
mates for the departments of the government at Washing
ton, what might nol be done in the same direction by the
Mate, county, municipal and school administ ations if they
Wo)ild employ the budget plan as intelligent ly?
j ;The history of the budget bureau at Washington has
proven that the mere adoption of the budget plan does not
guarantee goveriiment.il economies. Innumerable state ami
lonil governments are spending more money under the
budnet plan than they spent be fine adopting the plan. To
effect savings tlnougli the budget it must be used as a
microscope for the analysis of governmental expenditures.
Li to this time no other instrument has been as olfccliw
in disclosing governmental waste.
, While the budget has achieved the desired letienchment
in the cost of the national government, there would have
been neither budget nor retrenchment had the public not
been vigorously insistent on both. Ami just as soon as l!i
taxpayers demand the cui tailnient of the expenditures of
their slate, county, school and municipal administrations
till! success of the federal government will be duplicated

To the Kditor;
in the report of Kehool.s Kiven
last we' k, it w;ls mIiowu that the
liih schools of i'mon county are
i iu vlliK lite a hi rule to lnaill
it.iin theimslvt-s under presenl con
' ditioiiH.
Our sdiool population has in:
cre;uii-d faritcr than we have pro
j ided opportunities. Most of our
jhih ncIiooIh lack room and proper
equipment. The assistant ntato
superintendent Inspected a f'W of
I our hivTM .schools last winter und
. reported I hat unless more room
'and equipment is furnished, '.he
I state Hoai il of Kducution will not
s'andardi.e certain school for iy5.
I f w believe in a IiIkIi school
( education, re shrtubl have ' siicli
: hc hoots as will bIvc entrance to
j any college or university. 1 UkIi
I school graduates should not have
to make up hiKh school subjects
aft'r entering coth-K'1. yet many do.
! The schools we have are cen
ktnilly liMJited. What we need in
jsome tnsiancf-H is more room, und
in othetr; better equipment and a
more eonipletr enurse. The financ-
' itiK of these .sclnio;.s has become a
! problem that should concern lis.
Tbe town dlsti lets supporting ihoso
schools pay more school tax than
uny other ditfrtcU in tho county.
Why Hhould they bts compelled
to maintain their achooln for the
benefit of Ihoso around them when
they are only pa-rtially reimbumod ?
Hhould not the entire commun
ity nerved help provide Bufficicnt
high school opportunities? Must
we send our boys and girls uwuy
from home to get an education or
shull we have the needed schools
In our midst? During the war time
we hud to stringently economize
on our schools. In fuel, the war is
not over yet with many people. The
rural schools have suffered greatly.
I'oorly equipped schools and cheap
teachers have driven a great many
away from the rural to the clly
school. The result has been the
dying out of the rural school and
the over-crowding - of the city
school. Any community is meas
ured by Its school. People in look
ing for a locution are very apt to
iLsk, "Whut kind of a school do you
have and how far is it?"
The Oregon law provides for j
three KtndH oi ngn cnoois: dis
trict, county and union. The
schools of I'nion county operate
under the first kind mentioned. Ah
noted in lust week's report these
schools receive tuition for those
pupils outside of high school dis
tricts. The tuition received never
Is sufficient to reimburse, t hose
high school districts. On the other
hand, people living outside think
they are paying too much high
school tux.
I'nder the second kind, we would
have a county high school prob
ubly built und operated ut t lie
county seat, the entire county
building und maintaining it. That
would be a fine proposition - for
the people living near at hand, but
how ubout those at a remote dis
tance. We should not encourage
unfh u. plan at utl If we expect to
give pupils over the entire county
a chance.
The third kind of high school
Is the union of two or more dis
tricts for high school purposes
only. This bus been found to be
the most successful plan. The ter
ritory served by a certain high
! school is financed und controlled
J by the people of that territory.
.The vuluutiou being greuter make;-
the load of taxation more uniform
'and lighter. The organization of u
I union high school district is very
I much the sume as organizing u new
school district. No old debts or
buildings assumed.
Many raise notions get sturted
because people ure guessing at
some things und are not acquainted
with the fuels. The people of I'n
ion county ure Informing tliem
ecs on some of these questions.
Several communities ure moving
forward for better schools. We
do not need to be extravagunt. but
we should expend enough money
to make our schools a success.
Several districts ure going to
have nine months school next year
when formerly they had but eight.
Some are going lo pay better sal
aries. They have a right to expect
belter service. We need the best
teacher In the one-room rural
jwlth all eight grades und all ages
of children. . Why ..shouldn't, .she
be a trained and an expericnccu
teacher? Vet iiiuuy times the
rural boy nnd girl must be prac
ticed on from year to year by be-
