Urging that more attention be paid
to the one-room school house, Prof. M.
8. Plttmun, of the Oregon Htato Nor
mat school Monday outlined to the 85
or more teacher attending the Clack
amas County Teachers' Training school
at the Ilurcluy schoolhouse what steps
should be taken for Immediate reforms.
Most ot the effort, he suld, has been
directed to the graded school, and quot
ed statistics to prove that thl should
not be the case. Ninety per cent ot all
the teachers In the districts of Oregon
are new each year and 40 per cent
of them are Inexperienced, according
to Prof. Plttmun. The number of pu
pils varies from one to 45 and the
grades taught run from three to nine.
Professor Plttmun urged the ud op
tion of u rural normal school, a plan
which would provide the exact train
ing that tho country teacher needs.
At a previous session of tho course
State Superintendent of Public Instruc
tion Churchill advocated the paying of
more attention to the foreign children
In the schools, and suggested the dram
atization ot historical events as a fonn
of Innt ruction In patriotism.
Ho announced that a series ot nine
leMsons would be sent out from the
central f flee soon to direct the organ
ization of neighborhood groups which
ho hopes to make a feature of Oregon's
rural life. '
the teacher should make clear the
difference between autocracy and dem
ocracy, he said, for the schools at the
prexent time are being given the most
severe tests in patriotic preparation.
