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. !
George P. Eisman, a director, in- j
quired as- to the value of changing ;

ing yesterday's meeting were par
ticularly pleased with the agreement

lined, except as to the stock

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.
Citizens of Portland who may puz
zle over the question as to why they
are to be confronted a second time
with a charter amendment proposing
a $3,000,000 tax levy for the fair need
only be' reminded that authorization
of such a levy through the election
last November was made void when

"Would you be in favor of resuming j
Muzzey's history?" asked Mr. Shull.
and drew a general laugh.
"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:

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.

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.

Appointment of a commissioner of
fisheries to succeed Hugh M. Smith,
who resigned recently, is to be made

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.
That th city of Portland launch tn

George McGraw Files for Place.
BANKS. Or., April 19. (Special.)
Georgre McGraw, an old resident of
this place and a pioneer in this
county, has announced his candidacy
for county commissioner of Washing
ton 'county at the republican primaries
next month.
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. Third and Morrison
