COMMISSION MAY Committee to Hear Cases of Dis missal Would Be 'Abolished and Action Made FinaL. v-nanstes in me p"eui ..ci.uic office law were favored unanimously by the school board in an adjourned meeting held last night. The report of Frank L. Shull director, was luupieu aim siepa m i.o aran a dui iiicui pvji diuig . changes. This, it was said, will be submitted to the legislature. One change from the present tenure is the proposed abolishing of the commission of three, designed to act as a committee to hear cases of dis missal from office. Under the plan approved last night the board will decide cases of dismissal and its ac tion will be final. According to Mr. Shull's report, the majority of the members of the board may dismiss teachers, and a unanimous vote will not be necessary. IV otf lent ion Is Provided. The section regarding dismissal, ac cording to the proposed change, reads, "before being dismissed, a teacher shall be notified of deficiency by the superintendent or principal by March 1. Should there be no im provement in the opinion of the su perintendent or principal by April 1, said teacher ehall be further noti fied in writing Lbat the board de sires to terminate the contract at the close of the school year. Should the teacher not desire to accepf dismis sal, it 6hall be the duty of the su perintendent to give written notice to such teacher, stating the reason for the proposed dismissal together with a copy of any charges or com plaints which may have been filed against such teacher, and said ac tion of dismissal by the board of di rectors shall be final unless within ten days after receiving said written notice, such teacher shall file a writ ten request with the clerk of the school board asking for a hearing be fore the board. Due notice not less than three days before the date set for the hearing shall be given to such teacher by the clerk of the school board. Upon completion of said hear ing the action of the school board shall be final" Another Change Proposed. Another proposed change would place those who have been employed as regularly appointed teachers for not less than two successive annual terms "upon indefinite contract, under which teachers shall continue from year to year without any action on the part of either board or teacher." This changes section 4 of the present tenure, which provides that such teachers who have served the time stipulated above, shall be placed upon the "list of permanently employed teachers." , The federated council, represent ing the grade and high school teach ers, presented to the board a formal answer to the board's request for the stand of the teacher on the tenure. The council recommended that no ac tion be taken at the present time. Council Slakes Report. The council's report in part, la as follows: The federated teachers council appre ciates your courtesy In consulting with the teachers in regard to the general wel fare ot the schools. We believe this policy 1 is for the good of the schools and will I result in a mutual understanding between the administrative department and the class-room teachers. Keeling as the members of the board ot directors do. that tenure is recognized everywhere as essential to educational ad vancement, we hope that should future changes be necessary, our tenure may con form with the kest thought of educational leaders. The National Education association has, for the past two years, had a com mittee gathering detailed information re garding tenure, both in this country and abroad. This report will be presented at the next meeting of the National Education association. In view of the fact that under our pres ent tenure law our schools have increased in efficiency and their progress has been commended by prominent educators, as well as by many of our discriminating patrons, and in view of the fact that a legislative campaign must of necessity agi tate the corps and detract from their ef ficiency just at the time when the schools are returning to normal conditions after a long period of stress and unrest, we sug gest that no action be taken until we have carefully studied our local situation and have received the report of the National Education association council on tenure. The report was submitted in person by delegates from the council. Building Is Discussed. The building programme for the coming year was discussed, when Su perintendent D. A. Grout submitted his recommendations of the order in which he thought the various school buildings should be considered. Mr. ijroui recommended that not more than $250,000 be spent now on th new James John high school. The same sum, he declared, should be used for building the new Hawthorne Buckman school on the site now owned by the board between Ash and Pine and East Sixteenth and Eight eenth. The site for the James John lilgh school has not yet been chosen. After these two new buildings are constructed, Mr. Grout favors com pleting the Rose City Park school and then erecting a school of the cottage Fian type for the Alameda district on the site now occupied by portables. TEACHERS OPPOSE CHAXGBS Association Votes Unanimously to Lie Present Law Stand. The Portland Grade Teachers' as sociation settled the tenure question, so far as the association is concerned, by voting unanimously yesterday to leave it as it now stands. Proposed modifications have been discussed by the teachers and school board for several weeks. The decision of the teachers means only that the grade teachers prefer it as It now stands. Delegates from the association to the federated coun cil, which includes representatives from the grade and high school teach ers, will be instructed to vo.te in favor of retaining '".he present law. After this presentation of the mat ter, a motion to leave the tenure as it Is was presented and carried. The entire discussion occupied not more than la minutes. The propexsed modifications would not only abolish the commission, but would give the school board the right to demote teachers as well as to dis miss them. The question of demotion was not brought up in yesterday's meeting. Changes' in the constitution were voted upon and many announcements were read of meetings scheduled for this winter and of interest to teach ers.

MULTNOMAH HAS BACKING Out-of-Town Members of Igls t lature Promise to Support Port Consolidation. Members ot the legislature are drifting into Portland to "talk things over." Among those in town yester day were Senators W. T. Vinton and O. B. Robertson,' and Representatives L. E. Bean. Frank Sloan and Denton Burdick, who joined the ranks of the half dozen who had preceded them to town. "It looks unanimous, observed Mr. Bean, discussing his candidacy for the speakership. "There is no oppo sition. There will be no organization fight. As soon as possible I intend making a tentative draft of commit tee assignments. This is one of the hardest things to do. and of all. I believe the composition of the com mittee on roads and highways will be most difficult. Messrs. Gore, Gra ham and Dennis, who did such splen did work on the road bills in the 1919 and 1920 session, are not members of the 1921 session and their absence will be missed. The road commit tee means just hard work and good common sense." Multnomah to Organise. Among members of the Multnomah delegation there Is a desire to get together and organize. No one, ap parently, wants to issue a call,- but ail the members realize that some one must do it.( The Multnomah delegation-will have many things . to consider before the legislature meets and the session is scarcely two months away. The school teachers and the school directors will want to discuss prospective legislation with the delegation, and there are many other organizations and indi viduals who will desire to place ar guments for prospective measures before the delegation. The delegation will have to con sider the port consolidation when or ganized. Although this measure met with the approval of thex, voters In Multnomah county, there was suffi cient adverse vote in outside coun ties to defeat the consolidation, al though Portland is the only place financially concerned. Outsiders Promise Support. The advocates of the port consoli dation desire to have the matter taken up by the legislature, and the first step In this direction is to have the Multnomah delegation pledged to the measure. Several out-of-town members of the legislature have given assurance that they will support such a measure. inasmuch as Multnomah wants it- Some opposition may come to the measure from Portlanders, for there is a rumor that a number of men on the east side are more interested in having the sloughs leading into the Columbia river developed into waterways for ships than they are to see the Portland harbor proper developed and the channel deepened. As a rule, the chairman of the Multnomah delegation is the candi date who has received, the highest number of votes. In this election the high man was J. D. Lee. Fol lowing organization, which will take place this month, the delegation will have to hold a number of night meetings. REALTORS WILL CONFER INTERSTATE EXECUTIVE BODY TO HOLD BIG SESSIOX.
