E M1TTEE US REPORT Argue That an Expenditure Would Bring Results FIQLRE WOULD REPAV IN 8 YEARS Report is Complete and well Worth 1 Careful Reading by All The Parent-Teacher Association president recently appointed a committee consisting ot Dr. J. 0. Robb. Mrs. Chas. E. Wells and Mts. J. W. Bailey to report on the feasibility of an expenditure to build an addition to the High School for the purpose of accom modating a larger student body to be recruited lor tne uign School course from the county at large. .mm Their report follows: THE HIGH SCHOOL PROBLEM statement of the Committee of the Parent-Teachers Association The State law uow provides that any scholar eligible to High School in- st ruction. resiuiUK m any iuduiu where uo high school is maintained. may attend high Bchool at such other place as they may elect, either within the county where they reside, or other wise, and that the county in which said scholar resides shall pay the costs ot such high school tuition and schooling to the school district fur uishiiiK the same. While it Is not the object of this statement to discuss the details ot this law. yet we have no hesitancy in saying, that any law which makes it easier for the boys and girls on the farms of Oregon to secure the same high school education that their town and city cousins receive, is a goou law, fundamentally .and will be permanent Anyway we have the law. Its result has been, naturally, to largely Increase the hiKh school enrollment. I his county, we are .informed, has recently paid the 1'ortlaiid sehoolssouie $7U0u for the tuition ot pupils trom Washing ton County for the past year. The Hillsboro School District is now confronted with a business problem Our high school facilities are now crowded to the limit. We have a pres ent eighth grade class numbering 68 which will euler high school next year as against a graduating class of 24. probable net increase of over 40 from our own district. Last year we had 04 high school pupils from outside the district this-year nearly a hundred will be enrolled before the close of the term. Next year, every indication Is that we will have 15U high school pupils from outside the district. Without mo.e room and facilities we cannot care for them ,and will have to turn thorn away to Portland, Forest Grove, Ui-avertoii or elsewhere. The question lor us to decide is, what is best; add to our high school equipment, by enlargement of the building at a cost of twelve to fourteen thousand dollars so as to care for our own and outside pupils for next year, or care for what we can besides our own, and turn away the rest. This committee has been asked by the Parent-Teachers' Association examine into the matter and report the facts. We herewith present the figures you can draw your own con elusions. If the comparisons we make are more favorable to one contention than the other, it is because the logic of the figures seems so to indicate to us. Year 1915-16 Total enrollment IBS Pupils In the district. 104 Pupils outside district Total cost of high school $90G.(M) liocelved from ontaido pupils 28xn fin Ualance paid by district 6195.00 Year 1916-17 Total enrollment 200 Pupils from district 113 Pupils from outside Total cost of high school $9400.00 Paid by outside pupils 4100.00 Paid by district 6300.00 A Btudy ot thttsa figures will show the following facta: Last year, wtitlo this district bad only 104 high school pupils, it cost the district $t19b.00. This year with 113 pupils the cost will be nearly a thottsaud dollars loss. This is due to the fact that the amount re ceived from outside pupils Increased about 11200, while the- cost of running the school did not increase iu propor tion. Why is this We fiud that a con sidcrable portion ot the oxpeuso, such as salaries of superintendent, Janitor, priuclpal, cost ot fuel, litiht, repairs, aud many other items, are about the same, wueUier the enrollment ia 200 or 150. Moreover, we fiud that the same corps ot teachers ate handling the high school classes this year, that handled them last, and to the best of our Judgment, fully aa efficiently. The only added expense this year as against last, is that we have the full time ot the musical instructor, as against lialf time last year, which adds about 400, but some ot this is oi l set by reductions in other salaries. In short, the teachers are liandliug larger classes, which of course reduces the cost per scholar. Right here is the advantage ot the large school. It cau give the same courses and advantages as the small school, at less cost per pupil, or more advantages, aud a broader and more valuable course ot instruction at the same cost per pupil, as the small school. I'nder this law, where the county pays the cost, . scholars are going where they can get the best Instruc tion, everything else being equal. It follows theu, that the better aud more complete school we have, uot uly the better will our own childreu be served and educated, but the great er will be the Inducement for the out side pupil to come to our school. 1K we waut them Let's see. As we have seen from the figures. the cost of the high school last year, as, total $9075, collected from out side pupils $:'SS0, cost to district $6195. Now one ot two things must be true. Cither the expense of running the school would have to be reduced, or else the taxpayers of this district ould have bad to pay $9075, instead of $6195. This year, with a total cost ot $9400 ot which $4100 will come from the outside, unless the running expense ould have been nearly cut In half. the taxpayers ot the district would have been called upon for $4100 more. Our investigation has couviuced us that the running cost of the high school could not be reduced over Jiuoo to $1500 per year without practically crippling its efficiency. 10 reduce it that much would place it below the grade ot high schools in smaller towns. To reduce it three or tour thousand dollars would simply mean losing it On the other hand, what is the re sult ot the increase ot outside pupils? As we have seen, the Increase this year over last has Dad tne ellect 01 saving the district about $1200. This Is further proven by the fact. that notwithstanding an increase ot 20 per cent ot scholars in the district, and notwithstanding the further fact that provision is made tor applying $1000 to the sinking fund, our levy Is only S mills as against 9 last year. These seem to us to be unanswer able facts. Now let us consider the matter of additional building, pro and con. First, if we do not build this year, we will probably be unable to care tor over 40 outside pupils next fall. Judging from present classes, we will have enough pupils in the district to bring the total. with that many from outside, up to the maximum ot 200. Assuming that the costs for running the school would be the same as this year, the figures would be as follows, in round number: Total cost, $9000; paid by outside pupils, $1800; paid by istrict, $7200. This ia nearly $2000 ($1900) more than is paid by the dis trict this year. There ia no place for that $1900 to come from except from the taxpayers, and that would require little over one mill more than this year, or 9H mills probably 9. Moreover, it Is extremely probable that iu the next year after, or at longest by 1919, the present facilities of our high school will be Insufficient for our own children, AND WE WOULD HAVE TO MAKE THE IM PROVEMENT ANYWAY, AND DO IT AT OUR OWN EXPENSE. Now let us consider the result If we make the necessary building ex tensions. The cost will approximate $14,000. About 8 mills on the district valuation of $1,800,000. Let us as sume that this were borrowed to be repaid at the rate ot 1 mill and Inter est per year, or in 8 years. The cost would be about $2100 per annum tor principal and Interest and at the end of eight years the Improvement would be paid for. The question that will interest the taxpayers of the district, is, who will pay for it We have seen what the cost would be to us if we only took 40 outside pupils next year. The portion of the cost of the high school that would have to be paid by the taxpayers of the district would be as we have shown, $7200. If we make room for the outside scholars, those In position to Judge agree that we will have an attendance of 150 from outside the district next year. Some say more. Let us call it 125. Placing the local enrollment for next year at 150 we will have a total attendance ot 275. Let us assume that we will have to add $1000 for another course (though this would be optional) and we have a total expense of $10,000 for the high school. Of this amount the outside pupils would pay $4600 and the district $5400. Add the $2100 annual charge to pay the cost of the improvement In 8 years, and we have $7500 as the net cost to the dis trict for the year, as against $7200 cost to the district if we do not make the addition to building, and do not add another course of study. It is clear, 1t seems to us, that if no im provement In the course of study were made, or if the proportion of pupils coming from the outside were placed at the number which Is most probable, that the net cost to the district after making the Improvement in buildings would, by reason of the outside In come, be less than If the added room were not provided. Unquestionably this Improvement will be valuable to the district in years to come. Eventually the Im provement must be made. Ordinarily all such Improvements must come en itrely from the pockets of the tax payer, in addition to the annual run ning expense of the school. Uy taking advantage of the existing conditions, we can not only make the hlph Bchool earn the cost of the im provement, but so equip it that our children will have advantages second to none, while every scholar in Wash ington County will deem it a privilege to attend It. The people of the smaller dlHtrlcts are awakening to the advantages of this law. The next two years will so a great Increase In high school tin rolltmmt. Hillsboro Is the logical high school canter for a large portion of the poopln of the county. With the added room, aud a commercial cotirso, which many boys and girls now wish for but can't hope to got, our high school would be the first Iu standing lit the county and at less cost to the taxpayers. Without the facilities those outside pupils will form connections with oth er schools, we will pay our bills alone, and hofore the eight years are gone we will have to dig In our own pockets to make additions, which, It made at once, the school could be earning.
