THE MORXIXG OR EG ONI AX, THURSDAY, APRIL 20. 1923 HEW SCHOOL BOOKS UP BEFORE BOH 14 Changes Are Proposed in Official Texts. DIRECTORS DEFER ACTION Half of Volumes Recommended Said Xever to Have Been Used In Portland Before. Fourteen of 25 textbooks recom mended for adoption to the school board last night at its regular meet ing have not been used in Portland schools before. The board deferred final action until the next meeting-, May 3, but the discussion on this sub ject was the most interesting part of the meeting from the standpoint of parents concerned. '"I wish to call your attention to the fact that more than 50 per cent of these books are new adoptions," said W. F. Woodward, a director. "Are we sure it is necessary to have so many new books?" Books Are Reeom mexded. D. A. Grout, city superintendent .of schools, explained that this report was submitted with the recommendation of the school superintendents and the committee on education. He said that when a textbook was adopted of ficially by the board it waa used for 1 four years, but that in some subjects, such as public speaking, no official textbook had been adopted up to this ' time. !

Portland Takes Major Burden. "There is definitely assigned to the city of Portland the major burden of raising the mon-ey for the exposition. We desire to give to the people of the state at large the assurance that our plana are not in anywise contingent upon any legislative appropriation. What the various countieo, cities, towns and communities may do we do not now undertake to suggest. But that some plan of participation by them will be satisfactorily de vised we feel certain. "The state-wide committee at its last meeting in Portland assigned to the managing committee the service of carrying on the exposition plans in the absence of Chairman Meier, and as a preliminary to formal or ganization. The general consensus of opinion in the committee was that any plan of state-wide taxation for 1P25, devised prior to the state-wide primary on May IS, 1922, would in volve the enterprise in the embar rassments of a political campaign, to its great detriment. "In view of the fact, however, that our recommendations to the state wide committee definitely exclude from our financial outline any consid eration of direct taxation, outside of Portland, we have felt that there should be no further delay and have joined in a recommendation for early action. It is our purpose to call to gether the state-wide committee at an early date for consideration of our recommendations- and for any other action it may see fit to take." At the executive committee session, at which was also largely represented the managing committee, there was confirmation of Franklin T. Griffith as chairman of the executive body and- acceptance by Mr. Griffith. HU request for assistance, particularly during a' contemplated trip to the east, was granted through the unan imous appointment of Mayor Baker to serve as vice-chairman. Portland Levy Xow Void.

"I've been reading textbooks for a month," said Mr. Shull, "and I I eel that we have gone into this matter fully, but we must feel sure before we take any action." The list of recommendations, made public for the first time last night, is as follows: JliKh School Textbooks. to set no goal for up-state participa tion and, in effect, to leave this mat ter on a free-will subscription basis. They predicted that this step would win wide favor and that subscrip tions from public-spirited citizens ail over the state who have the vision as to what the exposition will mean to Oregon will bulk so large as to sur prise the fair management. Finance plans as approved at the meeting were worked out by the financial committee, of which Emory Oimstead is chairman. rtliand, "Constructive Die- !.: United sta. hl-tory.

No recommendations were made for spelling- since the bids were consid ered too hiprh. The board discussed also the ques tion of motion-picture machines in school buildings, and the chairman of the board was authorized to ap point a committee of five to meet with representatives of the motion picture exhibitors to try to reach some satisfactory agreement. "If this question can be settled to the satisfaction of both the Parent Teacher associations and the schools and the motion-picture men, it will be a real accomplishment," said Mr. Woodward. Movie Men Object. "The picture men object to the motion-picture shows held in the schools for which charges are made. They say it hurts their business. The neighborhood houses are particularly affected, they say." A. C. Xewill, chairman of the board, will serve as an ex-officio member of the comimttee. and will appoint one representative from the high school principals, one from the ele mentary school principals, one from the office of the city superintendent of schools and probably another mem ber of the board. The board will elect teachers for the new school year at the next meeting. Superintendent Grout re ported that probably 65 new high school and 100 elementary teachers would be needed to fill vacancies. The board voted that "all persons who travel at the expense of the dis trict submit itemized expense ac counts. The matter of janitors' salaries and the participation of school chil dren in the Rose Festival parade was deferred to the next meeting. Regii !a rly Named Candidates for Position of Director. However, WiJI Have Opposition. Members of the Chamber of Com merce who were inclined to put a second ticket in the field to run against nominees for director named by the regular nominating commit tee at a meeting yesterday decided against an organized effort to put over a rival ticket. There are, how ever, three rival candidates in the running and a fourth may enter. Five are to be elected. The regularly named candidates for director are Boy T. Bishop, Ralph H. Burnside, James F. Clarkson and Max S. Hirsch. Independent candi dates whose petitions have been filed are A. C. Call an; Clay S. Morse and H. A. Whitney. Petitions for the nomination of D. A. Pattullo are be- j ing circulated, it was said, and may ' be filed. Nominees who fail to have their names properly enrolled by Saturday noon will not be listed on the ballots. The election polls will open Monday The ballots will be canvassed and the result announced at the annual meeting ofr the chamber set for Fri day evening of nest week, April 28. Fish Commissioner to Be Named. WASHINGTON. D. C, April 19. Appointment of a commissioner of fisheries to succeed Hugh M. Smith, who resigned recently, is to be made shortly, it was said today at the com merce department. It was under stood that Henry O'Malley, seal as sistant at the Seattle station of the bureau, was being given serious con sideration for the appointment. MILLION ASKED FOR FAIR (Continued From First Page.) accommodate our ideas' and methods to new conditions. That we shall do. e have sougth earnestly to devise a plan of finance acceptable to the entire state. We take at full value assurances from representative in dividuals and organizations of the state at large that they will support the exposition in all practicable ways and co-operate in any appropriate fi nancial scheme to the extent of their ability. It has become obvious, how ever, that the proposal for a direct tax is not acceptable to the state, and we will recommend to the state wide committee that no such plan be offered. Tet it is clear that no great enterprise can be carried forward without proper financial support. Several Plans Suggested. "Several plans for 1126 have been suggested to the exposition manage ment. These plans have included va rious forms of taxation, public dona tions, coupon systems, graduated as sessments, bond issues and stock sub. scriptions. The committee in charge, after careful consideration, recom mends the following plan for accept ance by the state-wide committee and for final approval by the public.

Portland and Salem were linked for nearly two hours last night by the special radio concert broadcast from The Oregonian tower in observance of Salem music week. The princi pals were Mrs. Hallie Parrish Hinges, soprano, accompanied by Mrs. Frank Zinn, both of Salem: Pauline Miller- Chapman, ..mezzo-soprano dramatic, and Maurice LePlat, violinist, ac companied by May Van Dyke Hard wick. In the midst of the concert C. M. LockWQOd telephoned by long dis tance from Salem and reported the success of. the experiment. "We are getting every note and every word down here he said, "and tell Mrs. Hinges ihat her singing is splendid.' Other operators at Goble, Or., Van couver, Wash., St. Johns and Lents suburbs telephoned that crowds were listening and hearing clearly. Frank Heitkemper, living in Overton street, declared the concert the finest he ever heard over the radiophone. Army (.and 'participates. A feature of the broadcasting not announced was. that it was a joint concert conducted by The Oregonian and the 59th ' regiment band at Van couver barracks. The two stations alternated selections with remark able success and smoothness. J. B. ers radio service, on ine jregonian set, and Leslie Bradley, handling the Vancouver set, conducted the broad casting from the separate stations so that as soon as one number was played the other station took the air and promptly began another one. The Oregonian concert was divided into two parts, the first by Mrs. Hallie Parrish Hinges, who came from Salem in the interest of music week. She sang four selections "Annie Laurie." "Flag Without a Stain," "Swallows" and "The Last Rose of Summer." Brass Renditions Alternate. Alternating with Mrs. Hinges, the 59th infantry band, conducted by C. B. Price, played "Gippsland," "Fontella "A Night in June," "Wabash Blues" and "Crucifix." Between Mrs. Hinges' programme and the second concert the band played "Love Ship" and "Sa lute to the Sultan." The concert by Pauline Miller Chapman and Maurice LePlat, ac companied by Mrs. May Van Dyke Hard wick, was one of the most de lightful musical treats ever sent over the radio in Portland. It consisted of three numbers, first a violin solo played by Mr. LePlat, "Hymn to the Sun," by Rimsky-Korsakof f. The sec ond was sung by Mrs. Miller-Chapman. It was "My Laddie," by Gallo way. Encore It Demanded. Ave Maria" (Gounod), sung by Mrs. Miller-Chapman with the violin obli- gato played by Mr. LePlat, was a treat that brought calls as fast as they could be answered for the selection to be done over a second time . The pair had just come from a previous con cert at 9 o'clock and were too fa tigued to respond to the encore. Indications that the radio audience which listens four nights a week to The Oregonian broadcasts is steadily increasing are found in the increas ing number of calls of congratula tion and appreciation which come in during and after the concerts. M. E. Smead, manager of the Sugar Bowl confectionery, at East Nineteenth street and Broadway, en tertained his first audience with a newly installed set and magnavox. His store was crowded with listeners and he reported the concert a tre mendous success, technically and mu sically. Music Contest fn Loudly. The Vancouver battery company, interested in The Oregonian concert and the infantry band, entertained a crowd of 75 listeners with a new magnavox and receiving set. The operator said the music came in loudly enough to be heard across the street. M. Hoven of Goble, Or., was another appreciative listener and telephoned that a large gathering had heard the concert. Besides these calls there were dozens of local fans who re ported favorably. One of these was a newly-installed set at the Stout-Lyons drug etore.
