GOVERNOR APPROVES J e: ??--"--.-.&-.&7r-. linD'IMiTf SALEM, Or., Jan. 6. (Special.) Oovernor oleott today expressed satis faction with the outcome of the I'.eh and same conference held yesterday, at which a compromise' programme was outlined, providing for a fish and game commission of seven members. three to represent the game interests. three to represent commercial inter ests and a seventh business man to serve as arbiter. The governor ex pressed the opinion that the com promise plan might not bring the beneficial results that would come un der the two-commission programme, but as a compromise he considered It acceptable. That a misunderstanding resulted relative to the action of the confer ence was indicated by Governor Ol cott today. Following adjournment of the meeting, members of the commit tee called on the executive and asked if he would sanction the compromise bill for a joint commission of seven members. "Apparently there has been a mis understanding as to the results of the meeting of the fisheries and game committees at the capitol yesterday," en id the governor. "I advised that the compromise plan proposed, in my mind, would not lead to the same harmonious and beneficial results that might be expected from two entirely separate commissions. At the same time I expressed pleas ure at the outcome of the meeting, showing, as it did, a tendency to com promise and harmonize the different interests involved, and took occasion to express my appreciation of the presence of the legislators and their fair and open-minded attitude." It is understood that the commit tees have designated three members to meet Sunday in Salem to draw the compromise bill for presentation be fore the special session of the legis lature.

After having been closed down for nearly-a month, work on the woman's building at the University of Oregon was resumed yesterday. The work a . n T1 u H at t tl . A A a t h ft W ft IT.n,. I art, contractor. The estate has con- c.iuaea to proceed wren tne contract. Directors of the Portland Chamber of Commerce yesterday went on rec ord as strongly recommending to the members of the Oregon legislature that legislation to correct the condi tions that are depriving the schools of Oregon of teachers be framed for submission to the voters of the state at the coming primary election. Resolutions that were adopted were ordered communicated to every local chamber or commercial club in the state to urge that every legitimate means possible be employed to ac quaint (he public with the pressing need for action. Information submitted to the cham ber by State Superintendent Churchill disclosed that there are now 140 teaching positions In the public schools vacant and hundreds of school children have therefore been deprived of the chance to attend school. In a number of counties the superintend ents have been obliged to resort to the' temporary expedient of issuing teaching permits to boys and girls in the high schools, housewives and other untrained persons to the num ber of 261 for substitute work, in or der that the shortage might not be further Increased. Lower Standard Feared. It appears to the directors of the chamber that the standard of educa tion in the state has been appreciably lowered through the shortage and overworking of teachers and through the necessary adoption of expedients to supply substitute teachers. They also considered it apparent that the standard would be further lowered unless remedial measures were promptly adopted. It was further pointed out that the future supply of properly trained teachers is endangered by a steadily decreasing interent in teaching as a profession, illustrated by the fact that the enrollment at the state normal schools has fallen off 40 per cent. Un less the emoluments of the work be Increased sufficiently'to retain teach ers now in service and make it at tractive to aspirants. It is apparent that the public schools of the state may be expected to deteriorate. That Oregon is one of the seven states that is now failing to provide educational funds from state revenue. was pointed out in the resolutions adopted. The old method of county district taxation system. through which unequal burdens are imposed and unequal educational facilities af forded, has been relegated in many states. Inadequate Pay I Cited. The chamber found that the condi tions existing are due to the fact that school teachers of Oregon are inade quately paid for their services; that teachers in the elementary schools who have qualified for such work by taking two-year courses at the nor mal schoQls, following a four-year high-school course, are receiving In some instances as low as $800 a year, and that college teachers, qualified by a four-year college or university course are receiving not to exceed $1050 a year in some Instances. Owing to the higher wages paid in other lines of endeavor and by schools in other states, Oregon teachers are being drawn elsewhere or diverted into other fields of endeavor. It was the conclusion of the busi nessmen that the situation is one de manding the immediate attention of every public spirited citizen and a constructive legislative programme was therefore urged without delay as the only method by which the condi tions could be changed. SCHOOL FINANCES PROBED Centralia Examination Made Pre liminary to Bond Issue. CENTRALIA Wash., Jan. 6. (Spe cial.) R. C. Watson, state accountant, was here yesterday examining the finances of the Centralia school dis trict to ascertain the limit of bonds that can legally be voted by the dis trict for the erection of a new Lincoln school. .
