f 1000 for equipment. 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. FRANK, GLASER.
ries in the state, an intensive Oregon
advertising campaign. 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,

"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.
The commutee is taking th's action
voted unanimously o commence at
once. If the exnos' measure rar-
