10 THE SUNDAY, OEEGONIAN, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 191T. NEW SCHOOLLAWS HELD IMPORTANT Provision for Minimum Term of Eight Months and Tui , tion Measure Lauded. MR. CHURCHILL GIVES VIEW spools of this state and any teacher who shall have entered Into a valid con tract to teach In any public school of this state who shall willingly violate the terms of his or her contract for teaching: by resigning: his or her po sition as teacher within 30 days before the time when the term contracted to be taught shall begin or at any time during the period for which he or she shall have contracted to teach, shall have his or her certificate revoked by the authorities issuing same upon due notice from the School Board, and shall be disqualified from teaching in the public schools of this stats for the re mainder of the schoo' year. The clause relating to sickness and to the rights of the School Board to release a teacher was left unchanged. Hereafter in Western Oregon the sec ond Friday In February shall be known as Arbor day. For Eastern Oregon the Several Changes Apply to Portland Alone Directors Affected by Re call, Tenure of Office and r Extension of Suffrage. SALEM Or. Feb. 24. (Special.) Much additional school legislation was enacted by the Legislature which Just closed. Among all of the laws passed at the session Superintendent of Public In struction Churchill considers the law which provides for at least eight months of school in a school year is the most constructive. "This law together with fhe high school tuition fund law which was en acted In 1915, insures to every child in Oregon a high school education," declared Mr. Churchill in comment ing upon the school laws to day. "The high school tuition fund law will bring to the high echools more than 1000 children who are unable to go further than the eighth grade, but there are still many children in Oregon who live in districts where only six months of grade school are held each year. This meant that it would re quire 10 H years for children to com plete the grade school, while in the districts having eight and nine months of school the children would complete the course in eight years. On account of the advanced age in completing the eighth grade, the majority of these children would not enter high school. Greater Efficiency Predicted. "The eight-months' minimum term means that more than 12,000 children will be able to attend school two months longer each year. More than 750 teachers in the rural schools will have an eight-months' term instead of the six-months' term. This will mean that the teachers in the rural schools will be able to afford better training for their work, as they will he assured of 'better positions." Many other bills of importance, how aver, were enacted into laws. Certain changes were made in the school tenure law applicable to the city of Portland only. It classifies the teachers -as follows: First, super visors; second, high school principals; third, grade school principals: fourth, assistant supervisors; fifth, heads of departments In high schools; sixth, high school instructors; seventh, grade school teachers: eighth, special teach ers. The bill further provides that a teacher may, "before being transferred to a branch of the service which posi tion is of a lower rank or before be ing dismissed, demand a hearing. This shall be before a commission. The members of the commission are to be three disinterested persons appointed on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in January of each year by the presiding Judge of the Circuit Court. Teachers' Coarse Increased. The law requiring that no person shall be entitled to a certificate by ex amination before completing a term of at least six weeks of professional train ing was amended so that after Septem ber 1, 1919, all such persons must have completed a term of not less than 12 weeks of professional training. This course may be given in any chartered Institution, or in any standard high school of the state. In the high schools the course now runs through the 12th year. When this law goes into effect it will run through the 11th and 12th years. - A. law was provided for establishing military training In the high schools of the state, subject to such direction, su pervision and inspection as the Gov ernor of the state may order and di rect. Credit - shall be given toward graduation. The amount of such credit shall be determined by the State Board of Education. The School Board of Portland was Authorized to establish kindergartens. The number was limited to three and a limit placed upon the amount of money to be expended tor eucn purpose.. Training Provision Made. District school boards were author laed to use their publio echools for training school purposes. At present, this will apply particularly to the city of Independence. The School Board of that district will contract with the Ore gon State Normal School to use the public schools of Independence as a training school for tne normal. The law defining the qualifications of a legal school voter was amended so that the property qualifications im posed by this law shall not apply in the election of school directors and school clerks. Hereafter, any citizen of this state who is 21 years of age and who has resided in the school district for SO days immediately preceding the school election, shall be entitled to vote for school directors or school clerks. In districts of the first class, the di rectors shall hereafter hold office for three years instead of five years. In 1917 two directors shall be elected, in 1918 two directors shall be elected, and in 1919 one director shall be elected. The same order shall follow in the succeeding years. Parental Schools Issne. Two new laws were enacted relative to parental schools. One provides that any School Board In the state may es tablish parental schools for neglected or delinquent children. The other-applies only to the city of Portland and requires that the question must be submitted to the vote of the people. The law providing that no high school shall be entitled to receive tu ition from the county high school fund, unless the pupil holds an eighth grade diploma was amended so that the equivalent of an eighth grade diploma may be accepted. This law will be of particular benefit in cities having the junior high schools. Pupils will not be required to take the regular examina tion at the end of each year. The fourth Friday in October shall hereafter be . known as Frances E. Wlllard day, and a portion of the after noon of such day 'shall be spent in the public schools of the state in instruction and exercises relative to the life of Frances E. Willard. Recall Provision Made. Provision was made for the recall of school directors. There must first be filed with the clerk of the school dis trict the petition of the legal voters of such district equal in number to IS per cent of the number of children of school age in such district, isot more than two directors shall be recalled at one time, and the recall election may tie held only at the time of the annual school meeting. In all school elections in districts of the first class the polls shall remain open until 7 P. M. Instead of 6 P.

LABOR BILL IS KILLED Only One Measure Dealing W3th Workmen's Compensation Is Left In Senate, and It May Pass, -but Douse Action Cncertain. BOISE. Idaho, Feb. 24. (Special.) After one of the most bitter flKhts the State Senate has seen since the Legis lature opened, the House workmen's compensation bill Introduced by Repre sentatives Bates, Lohrbas and Orice was killed tonight by being: definitely postponed. The vote to kill stood 20 to 14. This measure was the so-called labor bill and called for compulsory workmen's compensation. Its defeat leaves but one bill of the same nature pending in the Legislature the Rock well elective workmen's compensation act. This bill is assured of passage as it has the backing- of the Republicans and a few Democratic Senators who re fused to stand behind the Bates bill.

In every family there is more or less occasion for a laxative remedy. It Is to meet this need that Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Is prepared, and that this combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin fulfills its purpose is proven by its place in thousands of American homes. Prof. F. J. C. Hertzog. the well-known linguist. 2341 North Orianna St., Phila delphia, Pa., wrote to Dr. Caldwell that he. has used Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep sin in his household with excellent re sults and that he and his family con sider It indeed a friend in need, and always keep a bottle of it on hand. Constipation is the direct cause of much serious illness and is a condition that should never be neglected. Harsh cathartics and violent purgatives should never be employed to relieve constipa tion, because the very violence of their action shocks the entire system. A mild laxative, such as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is far preferable, being mild and gentle in its action, without grip ing or other pain or discomfort; its freedom from an opiate or narcotic drugs makes it an ideal remedy for children.

Hot Water for Sick Headaches Telia why everyone should drink hot water with phosphate In It before breakfast. Headache of any kind is caused by auto-intoxication which means self polsontncr. Liver and bowel poisons called toxins, sucked into the blood, through the lymph ducts, excite the heart, which pumps the blood so fast that it congests in the smaller arteries' and veins of the head, producing vio lent, throbbing pain and distress, called headache. You become nervous, de spondent, sick, feverish and miserable, your meals sour and almost nauseate you. Then you resort to acetanllide. ffspirln or the bromides which tempo- rarily relieve but do not rid the blood of these irritating toxins. A glass of hot water with a teaspoon ful of limestone phosphate in It. drank before breakfast for a while, will not only wash these poisons from your sys tem and cure you ot headache, but will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimentary canal. Ask your pharmacist for a quarter pound of limestone phosphate. It is In- -expensive, harmless as sugar, and al- most tasteless, except for a sourish twinge, which is not unpleasant. If you aren't feeling your best, if tongue is coated or you wake up with bad taste, foul breath or have colds, indigestion, biliousness, constipation or sour, acid stomach, begin the phos phated hot water cure to rid your sys tem of toxins and poisons. Results are quick and it is claimed that those who continue to flush out the stomach, liver and bowels every morning never have any headache of , know a miserable moment. adv, A A
