BOARD MAKES ADDITION TO COURSE HERE (Continued Prom Page One) Oregon's Drouth Area Spreading, Report Reveals PORTLAND, Aug. 14 (V) Oregon's drouth area Is spreading, even as the state emergency relief committee speeds Its facilities and spends thou sands of dollars to save feed and for age and to provide water for thou sands of thirsty sheep and cattle. Nine of the state's 36 counties havo now been listed as drought areas three as emergency, and six as sec ondary regions. Nearly 300 mon, formerly on tho state relief rolls, havo been given work In the affected counties, de veloping springs and drilling wells so that water may bo provided for parched lands and for thirsty live stock. In Harney county 70 men are em ployed on the water projects; Mal heur has 45, Grant has 40, Lake 30, Crook 28, Wheeler 24, Jefferson 18, Wn.sc o 12, and Umatilla six men at work. Tho roltof committee survey Indi cated that a cyclo at somo eight years of eub-normal precipitation In Cen tral and Eastern Orogon resulted In the serious lack of water. This situa tion had to be mot immediately by tho drilling of wells and tho develop ment of springs which livestock, wild to slako their thirst, had trampled down and ruined. elded minority. Under tho new plan, the approxi mate enrollment at the various grade schools exclusive of tho J. H. Acker man Training school which Is par tially under E. O. N. supervision, the teacher strength required, and tho average pupils per teacher follows: Central (8 grades), 405 pupils, 13 touchers, averago of 31 pupils per teacher. Rlvcrla school ( 8 grades ) , 241 pupils, eight teachers, averago 30 pupils per toucher. Greenwood school (B grades), 358 pupils, 12 teachers, average 20 pupils per teacher. Willow school (4 grades), 89 pupils, three teachers, average 20 plus pupils per teacher. Transfer of the fifth and sixth graders from tho Willow district to tho Greenwood school was made pos sible by the fact that alrondy there wero sufficient fifth and sixth grade pupils In tho Greenwood area to ro quiro two teachers for each grade, but not a sufficient number to bring up the averago pupils por teacher desired. Not counting the boys and girls from the Willow vicinity, there would be approximately 40 fifth graders and 51 sixth graders at Greenwood, mak ing an averago for tho fifth grade teachers of 24.5 pupils and for tho sixth grade teachers 25.5 pupils. Addi tion of 14 fifth graders from Willow Increases the average to 31.5 pupils per teacher, and addition of 15 sixth graders increases the average to 33 pupils per teacher, which is very nearly normal for the city schools as a whole. Thirty Is tho UHual standard average of pupils per toachor.
