TEACHERS OPPOSE KEEPING
SCHOOLS OPEN FOR PATRIO
TIC EXERCISES.
NOTED EDUCATORS EAVOR MOVEMENT
Resolution Providing That Three Of
8ix Jrtsmber of 8tate Text .
Book Commission, Be
Teachers Adopted.
That the teachers of Clackamaa
county are keen for holidays waa
evinced Wednesday at the annual
teachers' Institute by the overwhelm
ing defeat of a resolution designed to
keep the schools open on Columbus
Day, Washington's Birthday and Dec
oration Day, but to devote the day to
programa of a patriotic character.
Tbe resolution waa Indoraed by Coun
ty School Superintendent Gary, Clt
Superintendent Tooio, of Oregon City,
Principal N. W. Bowland. of tbe Eaat
ham school at Oregon City and other
well known educators, and coincides
with the vtewa of State Superinten
dent Alderman, but tha rank and file
of the teachere evidently did not look
kindly upon a movement Intended to
curtail their three hblidaya and voted
down the resolution by a vote of about
two to one, fully balf of the teachers
present refraining from voting. Tbe
language of the resolution follows:
"Whereas, Sections 206 and 207. of
the Oregon School Laws designate
the 22nd day of February, tbe 30th
day of May and the 12th day of Oc
tober ai legal holidays, be it
. "Resolved, That the laws be amend
ed so aa to require school upon these
days and that appropriate exerciaea
be held in all schools when In ses
sion." While the teachers of Clackamas
county have no power to alter the
school laws, the resolution waa, In
effect, a recommendation to the -state
legislature. Next Thursday will be
Columbus Day, tbe newest holiday
provided by the state leglslature-and
all the schools of the state will be
closed.
The common senae view taken by
County Superintendent Gary la that
patriotic observances are educational
and desirable, but that the patriotic
features contemplated by the legisla
ture are entirely lost sight of by tbe
closing of schools. However, school
districts are required to pay teachers
on legal holidays and tba majority of
the pedagogues felt that they had
much to Joae and nothing to gain by
the adoption oCUie' resolution.
Resolutions urgtug the' appointment
of three of the six members of the
state text book commission from the
ranks of teachers; changing the
course of -study for the two grade
high school to conform with the four
grade high school; Indorsing the
county high school fund law, which
was defeated by the Clackamas coun
ty yoters at the last election; oppos
ing Instruction of high school sub
jects In one-room schools; condemn
ing the practice of teachers under
bidding each other for positions, and
extending the usual thanks to those
who helped make the Institute a suc
cess were adopted, after berng pre
sented by the resolutions committee,
consisting of Robert Goetx, F. B. Ham
