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.

E. B. Fish.
E. B. 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. Th.o meeting' Iras
British Columbia." "Thirty-seven
Years at the Bar" will be the topic of
Charles A. Johns, chief justice ef the
supreme court of Oregon.
