Tenth Annual Convention of
Oregon Teachers Meets
in Portland.
1SOO TEACHERS ATTENDING
Special Lctur Will Be Delivered
Pally by :hucators From Kant
and California Oregon'
School Law Praised.
It U Tldnt to any thinking proa
that ona normal school In Oriron Is
not onouah to supply th number of
tachra necessary yearly. Ilenco It
would seem to be In keeping- with good
reason to ask the Legislature to set
aside sufficient funds to employ a
tactier who could work In a Man
s.-hool in the county and whose whole
time should be taken up In teaching
pedaroe-iral subjects. In this way the
immediate needs of the county could
be looked after."
Thus spoke & T. Moores before the
Moth annual conrention of the Oregon
Plate Teachers' Association yesterday.
lr. Moores Is president of the associa
tion. The sessions of the convention, which
will continue three days, were called to
order yesterday mornlua; at the JelTer
s..n lllKh School by President Sloores.
The a. social Ion Is held this year In
conjunction with the annual Institutes
of Clackamas. Columbia. Multnomah.
Washington and Yamhill Counties.
More than ISO teachers are In attend
ance, including ail of the prominent
a. hool men of the state. Ir. Margaret
rVhIIenbcre;er. of the State Normal
fchool. San Jose, and Dr. David Snrd
den. Commissioner of Kducatlon for
Massachusetts, will lecture each day.
Two addresses were given yesterday
morning, the Drat by President Moores.
superintendent of the Oregon State
Blind School, and the second by Dr.
Margaret Schallenberger. The rest of
the time was devoted to department
work.
Oregon's School Uwf Best.
Mr. Moores said In part: -Oregon's
rstem of eduratloa has been keeping
pare with the development along all
ether lines, as might be shown by testi
mony of William t- Chancellor, ex
Supertntendent of Schools. Washington.
D. c After a visit to this slate, he
s.ild In one of his lecture at Johns
Xopklns I'nlverslty. which was pub
lished In the Atlantic Journal, that
he had read the school laws of every
stste In the I'nloo and that Oregon
had the best. Other writers equally
as prominent aa Superintendent Chan
rl lor have made similar statements.
Thre Is a growing tendency on the
part of all those who have to do with
.ln. st on to give credit for work done,
whether It be all done within the four
walls of a school room or not. and this.
t mr mind. Is the broad and correct
vtw to take.
In reviewing some of the Important
school laws which have brought the
Oregon schools up to their high stand
ard. Mr. Moores said:
"The compulsory educational law.
whiih has been In effect only a few
year, has been one of the Instruments
for bringing the people of the state to
a correct understanding of the fact
that the elate wants educated citizen
ship, and that a child's first duty is
to his state. The percentage of en
rolled pupils In actual attendance has
Increased very materially since the
passage of this law. In 10 the per
centage rf attendance was 72 per cent:
In Die 2.S per rent.
"The course of etudy for the public
school has unified the work and has
been Instrumental In conserving the
time of both teacher and pupil, before
the adoption of the course of study,
patrons of the school would dictate to
teacher as to how much arithmetic
or grammar was to be taught. If the
teacher was by nature timed, she would
quietly acquiesce: If she vm obstreper
ous she mas usually dismissed at the
end of the term. Now this has all
pasel awav. for the teacher has only
to produte ner course of study and cite
a I'areage from the school law.

roire of study firmly and causing the4
children to reim.!n In school for a
longer period. Before these examlna
lions were held, children in the court,
trv schools would rover the same work
term after term.
"The eighth grade graduation exer
cises which are being held In every
little country schoolhouse throughout
the state, esch yesr. have had a good
effect In bring the people together
and to a better understanding of the
Importance of keeping their children In
school. tine of the main themes at
tnese graduating exercises is the ne
reit of a higher education. This
has assisted verv materially in the es

"Among the most Important of the
e.lMratloual laws passed In Oregon I
ttiln recent years, was that of 19V5,
making compulsory the purchase of
hooks for school libraries. Jt la gen
ersilr considered the best state school
library law in existence.

Ceneure of CiUaens Met With Denial
That Silo Ii Chosen Through
Selfish Motive.
ROSEBURG. Or, Dee. 51. (Special
As a result of the attack made upon
Judge J. C. Fullerton. chairman of the
Roseburg School Board, by Attorney
B. L- Eddy, on Saturday, when the lat
ter declared that the chairman of the
school board as well as several of its
members had voted to locate the con
templated Central High School In
North Roseburg. through selfish mo
tives, feeling Is Intense among local
factions.
In a lengthy article In a local publi
cation yesterday. Judge Fullerton de
nied emphatically that the board had
acted through selfish motives, or that
thev had decided to locate the school
In North Roseburg with a view of dis
regarding the wishes of the taxpayers.
On the contrary. Mr. Fullerton says
that a 'majority of the board voted In
favor of the suburban site In order
that the congested condition of the
schools might be relieved without ex
pending ITJ.OOO. the sum authorised, by
the taxpayer at the time the bonds
were floated. Mr. Fullerton alleges
that In erecting a graded school In
North Roseburg it will be necessary to
spend less than .30.000. thus leaving
$41,000 with which to erect a central
high school when the occasion de
mands. Those opposed to Mr. Fullerton's
plan are persistent, however, and de
clare that the high school should be
centrally located, and should not be
erected In any extreme portion of the
city. They also say that, according to
the bond Issue, the board has no legal
right to apply any part of the money
In erecting a graded school, but Is
bound to expend the total sum In build
ing a high school. Those opposed to
the North Roseburg site also contend
that the board will be unable to sell
the bonds unless they proceed accord
ing to the conditions of the bond Is
sue, which specifically provides that
the bonds shall be floated for high
school purposes.
Since Saturday's indignation meet
ing the school proposition has been the
chief topic of conversation In this city,
and there are many who declare that
the frarue will result disastrously. It
Is stated that the board probably will
allow the matter to rest until such
time aa peace and quiet Is restored and
the taxpayers can reach some agreement.
