"It Is the question of the undermost
aa against the uppermost, property
values ever human values," said M.
H. Marvin, a member of the Washing
ton State Industrial Welfare Commis
sion, who made a plea at the Portland
hotel recently before the Portland
Ministerial association for the state
two-mill elementary school measure,
which is to be voted upon May 21 at
the primary. He continued:
"The church has made mistakes, brit
this is one place where the church
must not err. You must get behind
this measure so that the child of the
poor man can have his or her deserved
opportunity in life. Oregon Is face'to
face with a crisis in its educational
system, that. If not met, will put It
back toward the dark ages instead
of In the light of the twentieth century
which It should hold. It is one of
seven states which still holds to the
antiquated Idea of district school tax
ation plan. It mutt get out of the
rut In whlf h It finds Itself today and

Excerpt from the Report of Insur
ance Department of Oregon, Wash.
Ington and California.
"As a result of this examination
the company It found to be sound,
aggressive and responsible. Its
attitude toward policy holders has
been liberal and conscientious. Its
officers are men of standing and
ability.
Its schools equal throughout the state.
"Waahlngton today pays per year
t.10 for the education of each child
within Its boundaries. I am told you
in Oregon pay toward this great work
for the voter of the future only Ill.sJ,
It Is time for a Changs and I, from
your sister state, urge ou to announce
from your pulpits, from the housetops
if you pleas., the benefits of this
measure, aud I hope' It will be voted
la by a big majority."
Rev. W. T. McElveea of the First
Congregational church of Portland, i
also made a strong plea for the meaa- 1
ure and declared that It was not only
a problem for Oregon to solve, but
"a national oae, to handle this situa
tion which Oregon now fares, namely
the education of the Illiterate, of
which there are today In the United
Stales. !tt millions," said Dr. Mc
Elveen. ,
"Labor counts on the church In this
crisis," said the speaker. "Oms n is
behind the times in her educational
eystem and every 'tightwad' cltiten In
Oregon is to blame for this situation
which we now must face at the polls
en May 21. ' I
"Do you know how Boston Tsch !
handles br students? They hare one j
teacher to every six. students. Oregon
has one teacher to every 64. How's
that for a contrast? Isn't It about
time you and I went to the polls and
voted for something new' In this state? I
I think so."
Mrs. Alexander Thompson and Mrs.
S. M. Blumauer also made striking '
addresses to the ministers on this
measure, being followed by President !
Campbell of the University of Oregon, i
who pointed out the necessity of aid- I
Ing the elementary schools, that the j
higher educational institutions would
have a basis on which to wcrk, a
groundwork on which to build the citl
sen of the future. !

Every community needs toachers.
In every locality are many persons who
would make good teachers but who do
not enter the profession.
Also in every community there are
teachers who are planning to leave
and go elsewhere to teach or to enter
other professions. " Why? Salary

, like the prophet, Is without honor In
his own country.

spoils system. It is an old story In
many communities for a new super
lntendent and his assistant to find Jobs
for their friends at the expense of local
teachers, or to belittle then so that
they must resign In self respect. ,
Does the community know shout It
or do anything about It? Do the
patrons of each school know the ma
teria:! of the teaching force? if they
have an up-to-date, accomplished, gift
ed teacher, will they encourage her
with salary lnoreases and back her
against unfair discrimination?
How many good teachers have left
the community, and why? That will
tell the story. How many young peo
ple who would make tine teachers are
doing something else instead?
Keep the home fires burning until
all the' cumbering dross and all the
unfairness which is driving tome
teaching talent away from home is
burned up, and then see how rapidly
the teacher shortage becomes a thing
of the past.
Oregon can remedy har condition by
voting "Yes" for the 2-mill Elementary
School bill, popularly known as the
Children's Bill.
