MOLALLA, April ' 13. Saturday
many of the teachers of Clackamas
County met at Molalla, for the pur
pose of discussing problems in regard
to their work. Superintendent Vedder
expressed himself as being pleased
with the attendance, and mentioned
several of the distant points from
which the teachers had come, such as
Jennings Lodge and Boring.
One of the problems to be discussed
was "Consolidation of Schools." Invi
tations had been sent to the directors
of each of thirteen districts to attend,
many of-whom did so. Echo Dell held
the record attendence, ' having been
represented by three directors , and
clerk.
Many problems relative to school
work were discussed, pne of which
was the "The Teachers Pension Bill.
State Superintendent Churchill stated
that this bill was introduced only nine
days before the legislature - closed.
which was not the proper time for it
to be taken seriously . ,Mr. Churchill
also state that he had been in a posi
tion to study closely such bills, and
the difficulty had been to have them
so drawn to be of lasting practical ben
efit, when put to the test of time. He
spoke of the Carnegie Institute, which
has a special committee for the pur
pose of studying the legality of such
measures. He cited an instance where
such a measure had been sent to this
committee for comment and their
prophesy as to its future had been
proved to be very close to the facts.
Mr. Churchill expressed himself as
being very much in favor of such a
bill, when properly drawn. However
the present bill failed to state the
amount that each teacher was to have
held from her monthly salary toward
this fund. A point which every teach
er would want to know before he con
sidered the matter very seriously.
' Superintendent Churchill stated that
he felt that it was better for the
schools that the teacher's future
should be well "provided for, because
when a teacher's future is endangered
they begin, to worry, -which in turn
does, not permit of giving their best
attention to the school. He suggested
that the bill be more carefully drawn
before it introduction.
Mrs. Sadie Orr 'Dunbar, a state
health nurse discussed this line of
work for the ' public schools. Mrs.
Dunbar stated that while they did not
wish to do what people did not want,
they were always ready to aid any one
who wished to take up the work .They
have posters illustrating their work,
which they will lend to teachers or
others advancing the cause. The
county nurse who worked in this coun
ty for nearly ten months, was paid
from a private fund, so could not cod
tinue further. The county court did
not see fit to provide a fund for a
county nurse this year. One idea was
brought out, and that was that a
school nurse is not supposed to di
vulge the nature of the difficulty to
either the child or to any one who has
not the proper authority to know. To
the child, she is expected to picture an
ideal of health.
Dinner was served In the basement
of the Methodist church by the Ladies
Aid Society. A number of townspeo
ple joined the educators in this soci
able hour, while the hostesses serve0
a bountiful meal.
Immediately after dinner, the pro
gram was given over to Principal Rose
of the Molalla school. Mr. Rose had
invited the pupils of the Colton Higr
school to take part. The Colton young
people have made a specialty of mus-1
ic, and their services are eagerly
sought by their friends in the valley.
Their work is also illustrative of what
can be accomplished by a schoql
which is situated "way back." Their
string orchestra consisted of four vio-
line an a pianist. There were also
solos, both violin and piano.
The pupils of the Molalla school fol
lowed with several vocal and instru
mental selections. Al of which were
greatly appreciated. Mr. Vedder thank
ed all who had in any way aided in
this program.
State Superintendent Churchill,
then was given the task of enlighten
ing those present concerning any
school matters which should arise. He
stated that he was to discuss the topic
of "School Consolidation.' All In Ore
gon whd are interested in this topic,
may well feel that they have missed
an opportunity in not hearing Mr.
Churchill's discussion of the topic, as
very little of it was concerning the
Molalla situation alone.
Mr. Churchill's wbole endeavor was
that all should understand the facts
of the situation and it was this method
which he reccommended to all the dis
tricts which consider joining to form a
Union high-school district.
He first spoke of the law which -was
passed in 1'915, and "now operates in all
districts outside of Union high school
districts. As ' the law now stands, a
pupil may attend any high school In
fthe state, the bill fo rtUltion is sent
to the county superintendent, who
nays it "out of the eeheral fund. ThK
fund is 'raisefi T5y 'taxing all property
outside df Union high school districts.
The particular benefit rof tbis 'law 'is
for those .who are situated Vo far back
from the "proposed "school, that it is
better for the child to go' to some tnore
distant school and be under th'e'giild-
ance of friends or relatives or in a
case where a pupil may work for his
board. This right Is forfeited when a
district enters a high school union.
That is a pupil may still enter other
high schools, other than the one in the
Union, however, he must nay his own
tuition, which varies, from sixty-five
dollars, to something over two hun
dred dollars per year, for various
schools. He may enter the nUion
high school of his district, free of any
charge for tuition.
Superintendent Churchill compli
mented highly the "One Teacher High
Schools.' These were schools in which
the legal voters of the district voted
to have higher grades than the eighth.
taught at home. Usually there was one
teacher provided in such cases, henc9
the' name. The Union high school
would take the place Of this form of;
school.
Mr. Churchill revi&wed briefly ;the
high school situation from the time
there were but three such schools, one
of which was at Burns and two in
western Oregon, with plenty of objec
tors to the cost of having so many
high schools in the state, to the pres
ent time when there are over two hun
dred and eighty such schools.
He said that statistics have proven
that seventy per cent of high school
students are "hand-minded" or as he
explained will be the workers in vari
ous trades. Twenty percent is allow
ed to a second class and only ten per
cent are professionally inclined. How
ever the schools are so arranged that
nearly all pupils must take the course
of study as planned for the profession
ally inclined. It was on this fact
that he based his strongest plea for
the Union high school. He argued
that with more finances, more courses
could be offered, so the pupil woul
have more electlves from which to
choose a course more suited to his life
needs.
Wlhlle he felt that Latin and Alge
bra would not harm a girl, he felt that
there were other studies which would
be of more actual use in her daily life.
He felt that English, the more the bet
ter for those who will have the guid
ance of the future generation is ben
eficial. eH was favorable toward his
tory, though be spoke as if domestic
science would be especially valuable.
He spoke of Agriculture for high
school work. He t once dispelled
the idea from the mind of bis ir.tarers.
of Agriculture as it has been some
times know n to be tr fled with. His
idea of Agriculture in the high school
is a proven factor in the progress of
the sections where it is now taught.
For this one study, the government
will pay one third of the expense, the
state one third, leaving the balance for
the distirct to meet.
The process of forming a Union high
school is simple, when all are favor
able. Twenty five legal voters m a
second class district, such as Molalla,
and one third of the voters iv. each of
the third class districts, petition the
district boundary board for the forma
tion of the ne wdistrict. A date is set
for the election to be held. It requires
two majorities before it passes, that is
a majority of the voters in each of a
majority of the districts under consid
eration must vote for the Union high
school before it becomes a reality.
Mr. Chu'rchill carefully exjlaine.1
that a "legal voter' in this particular
case meant any one who could vote for
Governor or other offiical at the regu
lar election. This is a term varies un
der different la,ws according to what
shall be voted upon. "
It is especially desired that the

Principal Rose state that over thirty
pupils who are attending the Molalla
high school at the present time, come
from the proposed districts, outside
Molalla also that their tuition is beins
paid from the county fund, at the rate
of sixty-five dollars each. There are
other pupils who are coming from a
distance greater than this area and
their tutition is being paid from the
same source.
Each director and clerk was request
ed to speak or ask questions concern
ing consolidation. These discussions
brought out some of the versions
which Dame Gossip had given to the
original thought.
For instance Molalla is paying 'a
sixteen mill tax toward her whole
school system, she is at present bond
ed to pay for the building now used
for both schools, but was originally In
tended for a grammar school. Some
believed that this debt would have to
be absorbed by the other districts.
This rought out a very emphatic "No."
Each district will be responsible for
its own grammar school expense, for
its own bonds, and its directors and
clerks will have just the same rights
as at present.
All the districts represented will
Unite to pay for the high school. The
directors ior tne proposed school
would be chosen from all the districts.
Mr. Churchill did not recall the exact
proportion as some recent laws con
cerning that point, had been enacted,
however he said that he would look
the matter up and be able to inform
those interested.
Another version which had been
circulated was to the effect that Molai
la was going to take over all the gram
mar schools in the surrounding area.
Owing to some such errors, some of
the outlying districts had taken a
'straw vote' and voted "No." However
the speakers believed that as soon as
the truth was Understood, that their
districts would prove to be favorably
