(Special.)t An education al plan that is attracting favorable at tention throughout the state was pro posed and developed by the Superin tendent of Public Instruction, J. H. Ackerman, at the educational confer ence recently held here under the aus pices of the University. The problem of rural education has been puzzling the educational authori ties of the State of Oregon for several years, and is Increasing with the growth of popluatlon, Mr. Ackerman holds that the old district unit for ad ministration is now out of date and should be replaced by a combination of district and county administration. The paper read by Mr. Ackerman in developing his idea Is as follows: From the beginning of the organiza tion of the public school system, the school dlctrict has been the smallest administrative unit. It met the needs of a people who were working under comparatively primitive conditions, and probably accomplished its purpose as effectively as could be reasonably ex pected. The question, however, is now being seriously considered as to the ad visability of enlarging the administra tive unit to meet the needs of our pres ent civilization. It is a matter of com mon knowledge that in other lines of human effort the 'tendency is strongly toward combination and centralization, to the end that more effective work may be more adequately dealt with and the details of which may be more def initely planned and executed. . The conception o'f the thought that the teaching process could be more ef fectively furthered by teaching pup,,s in groups was a decided advance in our pedagogical practice. The setting aside of a definite territory for instruc tional and administrative purposes was a dictinct, forward step, . even though a mistake may have, and undoubtedly was made, in believing that the smaller the territory the better results could be secured. The old idea was to have the territory embraced in a district small enough to bring the school as close as possible to each child's door. In fact. State Superintendents of Schools and otheis in authority vied with each other in securing' this and made the principal plank of their educa tional platform the statement "we will never be satisfied till there is a school house at every cross-roads." Moreover, so thoroughly was this idea taught that any attempt ,-to change the system meets with the most obstinate and de- I ... I. ., mi n t JLl arvmKm I ; f Pa -' t if T ! I i m - -1 i J. H. Ackerman, State School f Superintendent, Wno Gives Plan I for Rural Improvements. - I termined opposition. The people feel that such an attempt is meant to de prive them of an Inalienable right. This conservatism, not only in this par ticular Instance, but in all things per taining to proposed changes In Insti tutional rights and priwileges, is not always inimical to the best Interests of the body politic, for It Is through con servatism that institutional stability is secured and maintained. Nevertheless, there are times when we wish it could be more easily overcome. In the consideration of the size of an educational administrative unit, many things should be taken into account, among which may be noted the follow ing: Taxation, the raising and ex penditures of money, instruction, sup ervision, and last, . but not least, the welfare of each child considered. In considering the problem of taxation the question to be answered is. Is it more equitable and just to make the basis for taxation large or small? - Shall the dis trict bear the burden, or shall the coun ty or state? Shall much or little of the taxable power be left to the people of the respective districts? Shall the state or county make a minimum re quirement as to taxation, and leave the raising of such additional amount as each district may desire to the respec tive districts? Shall the state pro vide for a larger unit for taxable pur poses and a smaller one for other pur poses? All such questions and others germane to the subject cannot be de cided Ipse dixit. To decide them just ly, one must take into consideration the traditions, history, and practices of the race. One must take into consid eration the fact that the people have ever jealously guarded the right that they themselves shall be a factor in taking the initiatory steps to levy a tax. So, the tax question will never be satisfactorily adjusted until all of these elements have been fairly and Justly propitiated. I am of the opinion that there should be two bases for taxable purposes the county and district. The state should adopt a minimum requirement and a minimum fund to meet such re quirements, which fund should be a fixed tax upon the county. This would enable the state to establish the mini mum standard requirement; provide a larger taxable unit, namely, the county, thereby making every dollar's worth of property in the county responsible for a minimum amount of education. We are gradually working out this idea. This may be traced in that por tion of the Hawley law which makes provision for a minimum term of six months as the minimum educational re quirement, and also provides that each district must be provided with at least $300 from the district and county. Here we find two taxable units employed, the county and district, and the prob abilities are that once this principle be comes well established, the minimum requirements, both as to length of term and the amount required, will be raised and the county as a taxable unit more and more employed. Should dis tricts wish more than 1300 either for an Increased term of school, or effici ency, they may voluntarily tax them selves. Here the princlule that the people's Interest In their local . schools is best secured by means of the self levying of taxes, and also of a larger unit the county is fostered. We also find this principle in the county high school fund law. I believe wo are rap idly advancing to the use of the county as a more equitable and just unit for taxable purposes, and that eventually it will be made the unit for raising all school revenues for instructional pur poses, for I believe that this principle for other purposes. The expenditures of all . school can first be established, leaving it to the districts to furnish school reveunes moneys should be as it has been in the past, left quite largely with the sever al school districts. This Is to say, the districts will be the unit for expendi tures, subject, however, to certain re strictions prescribed by the state. We see the beginnings of this principle, in the 85 per cent requirement for instruc tion, and also in that portion of the county high school fund law which re quires the proceeds to be used for In struction only. The -state is most vi tally concerned in the instruction given and the health conditions provided. Therefore, the probabilities are that tl.3 state will from time to-time, more and more, indicate the minimum in structional and health conditions and also the minimum amount that must be used for these purposes. The question of supervision is a vi tal one. In the county supeS-intend-ency, we have the beginnings of a com plete and effective system- of super vision. We must perforce use the county unit to secure the desired re sults. We must adopt the system now in vogue in our cities to all jarts of the county, excluding cities of the first class. The problem can best be solved by making the county the ma jor unit in so far as there shall be one head, and then have a sufficient num ber of subdivisions of this major unit with an assistant superintendent in charge of each sub-division working under the advice and direction of th County Superintendent. There should be a sufficient number of such subdi visions to secure as efficient supervi sion, as is secured in city systems. The County Superintendent should have a voice in the selection of all teachers to the extent of having a vote in the selection or dismissal of a teacher. He should also have a voice in the making and executing of all rules and regu lations for the government of the school. This would make county su pervision effective. To the extent of the selection of teachers and the super vision of the instruction, we are intro ducing the principle of the county unit without running the risk of introduc ing partisan politics in the schools . the gravest objection that can be urged against the plan of placing the full control of all the schools of a county under one board. The smaller unit, the district, can safely be entrusted with other admin istrative powers, such as building and ing the combination unit county "and repairing. Thus again we are employ district. This does not preclude the idea of consolidation of districts, when at all practicable and which should be encouraged by all legitimate means. Realty Man Paroled. Henry Wagner, a real estate dealer, was arrested at Third and Pine streets yes terday by Patrolman Padrlck on a charge of being drunk.
