making of a truly great state except
people. The proposed exposition at
Portland in 1925 will brins people
to Oregon. We should help this ex

ath Falls, accompanied the caravan
to the park and was of vast help to
the members in many ways, nir
ticularly as to routing and travel.

attended to and his food always
gets cold.

Oregon Federation of Labor, is one
of the most effective speakers in
the caravan. He has been widely
complimented by hearers' along the
route.

at Bend, is killing two birds with
one stone on the trip. He talks for
the 1925 exposition and drops in a
word here and there for the coming
state fair. He also has had state
fair placards posted at many places
along the route.

He has lived in China for tHree years

SCHOOL GAIN IS RECORD
8468 PUPILS ENROLLED IN
"CLACKAMAS COUNTY.
Male Teachers Get Average Pay
of $137 Monthly Bonded '
t Debt Is $294,010.
OREGON OITY, : Or.. Aug. 18.
(Special.) Although the past year
showed the largest gain in school
enrollment on record for any single
annual period, the remarkable fea
ture about the gain is that-it is in
dicative of the holding of students
through longer periods or school
ing, rather than due to any great
increase in population., according to
Brenton Vedder, county school su
perintendent. Mr. Vedder, has just
completed the annual report for the
school year which ended in' June,
1922. It shows a total enrollment
in all of the county schools of 8468,
an increase of 487 over 1921 and a
gain of 1313 since 1915.
The report shows a considerable
increase in the salaries paid to
teachers over the county, which the
superintendent says is compatible
with the increased efficiency of-all
of the' schoois. The average month
ly salary of the men teachers is
$137 and the women, $103.- In 1915
it was $82 for the men and $61 for
the women.
Of the total number of neachers
95 hold certificates through grad
uation from normal school or uni
versity courses, as against "45 in
1918. . .
The bonded indebtedness of the
school districts in the county has
nearly doubled since 1915. It is
now $2'94.010 as against $1-62,200
seven 'years ago. This increase, the
superintendent states, has been due
to the extensive building and ground
improvements.
