TITH MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JULY 14, 1921 11 V V PORTLAND LAW IS VINDICATED National Hears Education - Body Important Report. :, LOCAL TEACHERS WRONG Action of Legislature of Oregon Practically In Line With BeaU. ' Scholastic Thou gilt. ' School teachers of Portland, both before and during the session of the legislature, argued against a change In the tenure law until the National Education association should make its report on this subject. The associa-tion-haa made its report and the con clusions are Trot definite. Had the legislature waited until the National Education assooiation shall come to a final recommendation en this sub ject nothing would yet be accom plished and several years would elapse. On the floor of the legislature the plea was made that the lawmakers phould keep their hands off this mat ter pending the report of the National Education association. A thorough survey of tenure was In progress, it was said, and the advisable thing for the Oregon solons to do was to mark time for at least two years, when the legislature in 1923 could base its action On the report. .In reply to this argument the state ment was made that tenure has been under Investigation by the association since 1885, and apparently was no nearer solution now than it was then, and, furthermore, there was no as surance that Us recommendations would be mads in 1921 or 1922. Conclnslonifleacaed. A reading of the report on tenure, presented by Miss Charl O. Williams, superintendent of Shelby county Schools, Memphis, Tenn., as Chairman of the committee, discloses that the teachers and their advocates were wrong. The report, while yolumlnous. Is not conclusive, and ends with: "Your committee feels that the im portance of this question amply Jus tifies further study and investiga tion. This is particularly true along the line of a scientific consideration of the relation of tenure to other progressive projects for the advance ment of our profession, such as the sabbatical year, national certification laws, uniform salaries, pensions and salaries." However, there are several matters contained In the report of the com mittee which are of Interest to the teachers in the schools in Portland. In fact, considerable space is de voted to references to the tenure, in this city. Portland. Issues Enter. The report accepts the principle that the hiring body should also have the power to discharge. Also it fa vors hearings before' educational boards, and it does not recommend a non-educational appeal board, such as Portland had. "The questionnaire sent to affiliat ed units of the National Kducation association," reads the report, "indi cates that the majority of the teach ing organisations believe that the hearing should be held before the board, of education. Quite a number favor the first hearing -before the superintendent and supervisory , offi cials. This group usually believes in am appeal to the local board of edu cation. 'Those favoring the Initial trial be bore the board or superintendent and board would provide for an appeal to , . the state superintendent of education for his department. A number of suggestions were made that the trial . be held before a joint committee con elating of representatives . of the board, the teaching body and citizens. "Another recommendation was that a committee of three be substituted, consisting of one representative of the board or superintendent, another the teacher and a third to be selected by these two. Hire-Fire Poller Indorsed. "Since the board of education is the egncy which employs the teacher, It would seem that they should also be the removing agency. The -right to employ implies the right to dismiss. "The privilege of reviewing) the ac tion of the board in dif pissing a teacher is a fundamental principle of American democratio justice, and a reasonable protection that should provided. Since the majority of dis missals are based on technical ques- -sucn as negiec or duty, lncom- presidedr.ovef by J. W. Vogan of the Vogan Candy company. A nnnvber of methods of retaliation were proposed by those in attendance, among them a proposal that the city council be asked to pass an ordinance putting a tax on Clackamas county farmers who eell their produce to the Portland markets. The Sugges tions received will be held In abey ance "and Tor Consideration Until' the supreme court renders a decision on the Oregon City vehlole license. !pi!!i!!l!i! 1 Double Trading Stamps 3?S h.s 1,; Except Groceries I T. ......... . . ...... !UI'IOX LABOR MAW WILt, AD' I DUESS CITY tLlB.

Fish, known throughout the country as a prominent union labor man and a Chau tauqua lecturer, will speak at the luncheon of the City club at f the Benson hotel tomorrow noon, taking as his ' subject"" "raying the Fiddler ; Reasons and Remedies for Industrial Ufi rest." It was while he wu working as a machinist in a shipyard at Everett, Wash., that ' Mr. Fish learned from contact with his fellow workers what he has since been telling to or ganizations of both employers and employes, to wage workers in lumber camps, on docks and in factories.' He Is now telling ' the same story to Chautauqua audiences, the story of indus trial unrest, with reasons and practical remedies, It is an- " nounced as the story of the union mans fight against reds and radicals. tlon petency, inefficiency, conduct unbe coming a teacher, and the like it seems that the final body of appeal should be in educational work and yet disinterested.." In Portland, in' all cases where the decision to remove is supported by less than five of the seven members of the board of education, an appeal may be taken by the teachers to a non-educational commission, appoint ed by the presiding Judge of the cir cuit court. The decision of this commission is final. If five members of the board vote for dismissal no appeal can be made. Portland Appeal Plaa I.oap. Judging from the National Educa tion association committee report, the Portland plan ot an appeal -to a non-educational commission does not meet with very much support. Again, to quote: "Dr. Kandel of the Carnegie foun dation for the advancement of teach er states that 'the best practice to day provides for an appeal to the state superintendent of public in struction.' " The question, whether the hearings should be public or private is de batable and the National Education association committee requests an op portunity to give this further study. The general practice, says the re port, is to have the hearings private, although there appears to be devel oping a strong tendency to make the matter cf privacy optional with th teacher. So far as the report of the commit tee goes. It does not back up tbe Portland teachers but. on the other hand. Indicates that the course adopt ed by the legislature was correct. VEHICLE TAX IS ATTACKED Supreme Court to Be Asked to Pass on Oregon City Ordinances The supreme court will be asked to deolde whether the Oregon City ordinance known as the vehicle ordi nance, passed last month, and putting a license of $10 a month a vehicle on delivery Care and trucks delivering goods to Oregon City merchants from outside points, is legal. About 60 Portland jobbers and man ufacturers who deliver their prod ucts to Oregon City met yesterday afternoon in the chamber - of com merce rooms to discuss ways and means of combating the ordinance, and decided to lay the matter before the a-upram court.
