The scnool Kurd there has, without doubt, ex - taunted its means for further expendi tures upon the finishing of the build Ins and has postponed same until a future date when funds can be had. Perhaps a little cooperation and less complaining would aid considerably. Mr. Gleaser's version of conditions as tlicy exist in his territory is as follows: In ordar to Get a fair outlook on our proposed change in school administra tion, it might be well t: consider some f the Lincoln ccunty schools of to day. It is true th.t a tew necessary taprovemonts have bon undertaken Uiis year at Toledo, and In other prog ressiva communities. : But, surveying Uto ccunty as a whole, we cannot say tint cur school are getting better. Hero, on the Lower S"etz, as In To ledo, Nowpoi't ti:d Sil jtz. we believe that our staff cf teaahers has been greatly st.er.sthonod this year. We fczve organized a teichors' . club, 2 !Unrary society, a lonl Boy Scouts club, and are going ahed generally as if we meant buinex. Our school equipment, however, !s poorer than it Bran last year. In Mrs. Glaser's school there ts not ne. library bcok; not a piece of chalk; c-ot a wash basin, and the bucket and common dipper that are used thero are borrowed. . Three of her pupils Iwfe no regular school seats, but take-shift bv sitting together on a wash bench wl.Ich I constructed last year. The wtvulabeil be'T-'nr o this school reir.a'ng where It was deposit ed by the flood, standing rocked un en one comer In the slough. Not ne bit o.' playground apparatus has the district ever provided there: and a now grew'h o! brush !s coming up to replace Uu.t I ou; down Inst yoar. rn myovn school, attor five we?ks f teachlnr m ?t t our text books save flnall: nr"ved. Nit so t wr r.nt, now t weel-. ovordite, which the emird must r.-uo hbrtit for W'lln. fUltew'se, TVtfrtct F0 19 a bad debtor, (wring to d.' te refrain'!'! f?cin i"nulin sarrnntB for my l.tat tv.o months of trvlce thero.) We hivo no stir.dard "Tntlonary h'."3, tho we have four pu fls. i n the eighth grade who nqod one. 'Tfturtt is no r.inp, oxcenl an atlas of HVB world (lr-prr.ctieal for schoo'. use) Men belongs to me. We waited 1treo wetkB fcr chalk, and f'nallv 1 Snsslit a bor myanlf. I am told tVt ail things ne essary have been order ed, and in dvT ime may possibly ar-rl-n for a Christmas present. In the mean time ye are trying to hold schoo;. We have not had the temer ity to ask fcr pl.-.ygrcur.d equipment; ! the board would consider such a re quest of "funny joak." The children 'cooperate with me in t'.olng the jant or work to supply this want. ! In Mr. Worley's school they have 'chalk from Inst year, and a barren acre of playground that slants at an angle of about 40 dogreeB. Ilaldy ask ed his board for library books, mnps, etc. He was tcld thr-t "ReB" took jthem all to his school In the same district last year. Since nothing can be taken from nothing, and since .there never was uny equipment, this suggestion Is untrue. Rod had sever al conveniences in his school last year, but he bought and paid for them jail himself. The suggestion is put over to "Baldy" that he might do I we'l to follow Red's example and sup port the district school. He Is frank ly advised that the board considers his salary large enough to permit him! to provide the tehool equipment. I I ""i-jin" tin T-rt district board feels a similar inclination toward Us tea'heig. The new school building at Taft Is divided Into two rooms by a partition which extends a little more than half-way to tho ceiling. A wide lionrlejs doorway ct one end of the partition ho'pa to facllltato lnter room communication. As I said at the s'art, we have a : strong corps of teachers here this year. More then that the teache.'s are organized. And the people here ' are booking the teachers' organiza tion. The district hoards, however, are either indifferent or openly hos tile to their teachers. They would, If it were possible for them next yea'1, disregard the wishes of their constit uents, and hire $75-a-month teachers. Thus we would see a continunnce of the bars-school system, a continued 1 educational farce, a continued crime the lawB of tomorrow. I am not crvlng down locr.I condi tions only.,. Look at any one-rorm school look n.t your own Did you hire a real teacher? or a $75 h:nd-mo-I down? Are you giving your teacher a chance? i Sn 'on as tho present district Rys- tetn s'snds. so long will our children i be arbitrarily barred from school (as are three children In the Kernvlllo district now) or compelled to walk or row milog ba'k nnd forth (as are 8 or 10 chl'.dren in Kernvlllo now ) Thev coire 'et and cold Into un sanitary buildings. They are put thru a dry routine of studios, without maps, charts or equipment of any kind. Their r'ay?round. when the sun shines Is a few feet of . bare ground; during the rainy season, they art confined In the school room a".l dav. Their lives are hard, eventless, and unspeakably dull. They grow into egomafliacal cynics before they art out of school. Shall we let this con tinue? Shall we condemn future gen- e ations. to ignorance, poverty, and suffering in order to save a dirty dol lar in taxation? And shall those of us who aro trying to be fair to our own children, sail hwe sit back and say, "I'm not "my brother's keeper; let those moss-backs look out to. themselves?" 'Let's remember that own children, shall we sit back and our neighbor's, and that someone must bear the burden of the moss backs' mulishness. Let's stop thlj crime of ignorance, NOW at least in-so-far as Lincoln county is concerned. The County Unit Plan will do tho trick. Respectfully submitted, ' O.

The attractions and opportunities of every section of Oregon will be advertised to the world in a campaign intended to cu'mlnate in 1927 with a flood of visitors to tho state. Also It is expected that the campaign will materially increase the influx of visitors each year between now and the exposition year. Captain Frank Fogarty and brother, Jack, chief engineer or ne tug 'Alute , who have the contract for towing logs from South Beach to Toledo and other transfer work for the Pacific Sprues Corporation, report that they are kept, busy now that the output capacity of the mill Is InfrenMn". "1925" EXPOSITION IS POSTPONED TO 1927 '-'1. The change of the date of the Ore gon exposition from 1925 to 1927 which has been under consideration for several months by the exposition committee came to a final issue Fri day and the date was changed. Here after it will be known as the Oregoa 1927 exposition. Except for the change in date the fair plans will go ahead as they have up to this time. The fear has been growing in Port land that the exposition could not be built within the time limit and also that difficulty might be experi enced in raising the stock subscription of 11,000,000 within the time limit m December 20, 1922. For these reasons it was deamed advisable to postpone the big show. This will not change the measure to be voted on by the people of the state authorizing Portland to set aside the six per cent tax limitation amend ment in Portland long enough for Portland to tax itself for' the exposi tion. There is no change whntovor in the atate mer.sure. In Portland the ballot measure has been so changed that an additional year is given ' iii whlrh to raise the stock subscription of $1,000,000 and two years additions, time is provUioii -J? the building of tht exposition.
