enter Into such contracts with the
County High School Hoard. These
centers being so scattered over the
county that the pupils lu all parts can

You may question whether such a

our possession a written statement to

If the vote on the County High
School Is favorable, the County High
School Board, consisting of the Coun
ty Judge, two County Commissioners,
County Treasurer and the County
School Superintendent, will establish
a central high school at Oregon City
and In accordance with the following
provision contained In Section 3434
of B. & C.'s Codes and Statutes of
Oregon, "that said board may contract
with the board of directors of any dis
trict in the county that now maintains,
or mav hereafter maintain srhnnl
of high school grade to teach all
county high school pupils at such rate
per capita, or In the aggregate, as they
may deem right and just, and shall
pay for the same out of the high
Bchool fund," said board which re
fers to the county high school board
mentioned above, will contract with
districts which teach or are In a posi
tion to teach high school grades, for
the purpose of giving instruction to
pupus, wno reside in the vicinity of
.that particular 6Chool. Let us illus
trate, a pupil residing in Estacada,
anny, Moiaiia, Damascus, Highland,
Logan, Oswego, MllwauWe, etc., or vi
cinity has his choice, he can either
go to the school In his vicinity and
naturally he will and in that case his
tuition will be paid into his district
out of the county high school fund, or
he can go to the central high school
at Oregon City. It has been suggest
ed that ?30.000 per capita would be a
proper amount for tuition.
The plan is to establish center high
schools throughout the county, hav
ing them situated at the different cen
ters of population, such as Estacada,
Canby, Molalla, Damascus, Logan, Os
wego, Milwaukie, etc., and perhaps
others, In fact any part of the county
which have enough pupils to permit
the establishment of high school
expire for two years and Mr. Paddook
has no opposition. These three men
will constitute a majority of the board
and will not, It is needless to say, go
back on their word. Following Is the
statement :
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
I promise the neople of the Countv
of Clackamas, and State of Oregon,
tnat lr the County high school measure
Dasses. and I will use. all of mv Infln.
pnrfl til SOU that it lines that In a...
jcordance with the proviso contained
in section 3434 or B. & C.'s Codes and
. Statutes of Oregon, as follows; "Pro
vided runner, that said board may
contract with the board of directors
of any district In the county that now
maintains or may hereafter maintain
a school of high school grade to teach
all county high school pupils at such
a rate per canita. or in the aggregate
as they may deem right and Just and
shall pay for the same out of the high
scnooi rund." That I, In my official po
sition as a member of the countv high
school board, will ever vote to enter
into contract with districts which have
12 pupils or more. That I will vota
to establish a central high school at
Oregon City, and will vote to enter
into contracts with tne school districts
at Estacada, Molalla, Canby, Damas
cus. Highland. Logan, Oswego, and
Milwaukie. and will consider thirty
(130.00) dollars per capita a proper
amount ror tuition.
