The statement says that the school buildings In use are safs, wall ventilated .- and sanitary; that by , employing- an - architect fees have been reduced from ) to B per cent and the . saving Jn a year has been $8000; that bids- for sup plies are open to competition and . the- - lowest responsible -bidder--reeeivta he - award; and that the bookkeeping system Is modern and reveala at once for what s and how money f taxpayers Is spent.

Not only are me items - which ntrvl into exrjense 10 years' ago more costly now than they were In 1 too, but the people have den manded and the taxpayers have, au thorised new departments of education which have contributed their share to ward the Increased cost Among these departments which have either been In atalled or extended during the past 10 years are manual arts, commercial courses, sewing, cooking, night JChools, circulating libraries, additional high school and trade schools. . -, W-varaaaaise-tfiaJBJtpensfe. "Other items of expense are increases In ths salaries of teacnera and Janitors In response to public demand; oil burnj Ing plants; vacuum cleanTny ln the ew schools; additional help for the school clerk and the school superintendent; fire escapes, hose and standplpes; Installa tion -of eiloctrleHights-l aiU bulldlngsr new buildings, drinking fountain: play grounds. Many new school butldlngs have been erected., all paid for princi pally with money raised by taxation. In many cities h eise-of Portland, bonds are issued for the cost of new buildings, and the tax ' is levied for maintenance, which Includes Interest on bonds. In Portland the only i building bonds issued havo ,been for two new high school; A considerable sourco of expense Is the old style buildings, some of which have been standtng-f or-many years. ' These are now showing the ef fect of age, and ths coat of repairing and modernising them is very great. It la absolutely-essential that they should be modernised, for otherwise the children attending them would be In danger of epldemlo arising' from ancient plumbing. These changes bavo all been au thorised - by the taxpayers and in many Instances- were ; first recom mended by the board- They are costing money, a great deal of It, but we do not think for a moment that the taxpayers would have that money if , the saving would entail return to the primitive conditions of 1900, Then -cars AgoJPort- land public schools were behind the times; ..they are 'now the equal of any public schools In , the country. : , Cost of Construction. ' . '"Exscti comparison of cost of con struction of school buildings In Port land with cost in Other cities is imprac ticable for ' the reaaon that no two cities have the same system of keeping accounts. For example, it has been sought In recent discussions to compare the cost of PortlancVhlgh schoors with thst of the William Penn High school In Philadelphia. It was announced that Philadelphia Was getting a fine all fire proof high school for 15 cents a cuble foot When the matter was examined It was found that the Portland inves tigators had included in the cubic con tents of the Philadelphia school soma very large inside and outside light courts, and an unexcavated portion of the sub-'basement The more the cubic contents of the structure increased the more the cost per cubic foot decreased. The grade schools built within tho past few years In Portland include assembly hall and accessory rooms, which are equal in cost to three and perhaps three and one half completed classrooms. -: Eastern Building Cheaper. "Aicareful Inquiry into the cost of fireproof grade buildings, containing classrooms, assembly halls and acces sory rooms, fixes it at 75 per cent more than the wooden buildings in use in Portland and 80 per cent more than the cost of buildings devoted to classrooms only. It Is doubtful if fireproof con structlon can be done as cheaply by 10 to 16 per cent in Portland, as in the eastern cities. This observation applies only to buildings of two stories . and basement. In buildings of three stories and basement the coat per cubic foot Increases;' a 'has Ueen shown-m ths case of a school built at HHisabeth,- N. J, This-. building . Is, Ji.Jfe)u L, feetkres stories and basement, 20 class rooms, assembly hall and manual training room. It contains . 256,392 cubic feet and cost 190,000, or over 36 cents per cubic foot . i. "A. committee of the Portland Archi tectural club, which recently examined costs, reported that the Jefferson High school cost 14 cents per cubic foot or at the rate of $197.60 per pupil. In re spect to both these units of cost the record of the Jefferson High was lower than the unit cost of high schools In 8f Louis, Kansas City, Cincinnati, New York,' -Boston, Seattle, Grand Rapids, Washington,' New Haven, Philadelphia, Spokane and Newark. The same was true of .the grade schools of Portland as compared with the grade schools of the cities above named. "At the Peninsula school, the con tract Included a concrete wall all around the block at a cost of $1040. At the Brooklyn" school the old toilets were discarded and new ones Installed at a cost of $5414. ' At the -new Mt .Tabor school the contract Included a cesspool, for which an excavation of 60 feet was made, , partly through quicksand. The costs shown In detail above are as near as can be calculated until all accounts are closed tip. Cost of extras was practically nominal. Character Building. , "As to whether or not the frame school buildings in use in Portland are safe. It can be said for them that every one has doors opening outward, numer ous stairways and exits, wide and Well lighted corridors,, a principal and Jani tor in each school, and a teacher in each room. " Fire eacapes, stand pipes and hose are additional means of pro tection. Each school Is required to bold a fire drill onco a week and a fine of $5 is visited upon the the principal for failure io comply , with the rules of the board In this respect The efficiency of the drill Was amply attested by the alarm at ths Sellwood school on Octo ber 57 last,- when - the building . -was emptied of every child within lta walls In less than one minute. iX-: M v t Architscya ysss.. "Reference has been made to our cus tom of compensating architects for building work, and, we .will therefore state the policy of the board In regard to architecture and quote. from our rec ords on the subject of payments. In the case of the Jefferson high school, architects' fees were $14,438.30 being 6 per cent f the contracts which were $288,765.97. Architects' fees added to the contracts make the total cost of the school $303,204.27. During the year 1910, the board-architect received from the district, $8,229.55 on account of 1910 contracts and $3770.46 on account f 1909 contracts, a total of . $12,000, This was 8 per cent of an aggregate cost"of$f00T000, and wasfor architec ture and supervision, ss against a possi ble cost of $20,000 if the work, had been bandied on a 6 per cent basis, the. reg ular charge for architecture. The sav ing to the school district by the method employed by the board was $8000 In 1.910. The board architect furnishes his own office for carrying on his work, and pays his ow draughtsmen, office help and inspectors." wrlth the exception of the- concrete inspectors, ; whose sal aries are paid by the. board. ; Method of Awarding Contracts. "For all building work required by the district, plans and specifications are prepared and bids Invited by adver tisements duly published In the news papers. It is the desire of the board that there shall be full and free com petition between bidders for all work. Contracts are always awarded to the Uosiast , s nd most .. rasaoaslbla-i blJdars who comply with the conditions of the proposal. . i he district has been enabled to ob tain a rate wliicln has effectevl a sav ing of about $2000 per year in premiums. This .is cot a Urge sum,, but 4t .Ulu- airatea the policy of the board In avoid- ing any unnecessary expenses. "Ten years aire, there, was hardly a school in Portland -that -was properly ventilated. Now it Is impossible to find a school la the city thst is-not properly yentllated. In respect to modern plumb ing, Portland ' is far ahead of moat American cities.-. . ' - "For nearly two years a purchasing agent has been employed by the district snd it la his special duty to make pur chases authorised by the board of such materials and supplies as are required; to receive and inspect the same snd to account to the board regularly for the conduct'1 of his office. His duties in clude Inspection of fuel and supplies. He makes a dally report of 'stock,, re celved and distributed. - He may - not purchase any article except upon requi sition, signed by a member of the board. Motft of the commodities used are pur chased under yearly contracts,, and In respect to these the duties of th pur chasing agent pertain merely to re ceipt inspection and distribution. r Coi of Instruction. Upon the recommendation of the boird In . 1110, the taxpayers at - their annual meeting in that year authorised an Increase inthe salaries' of teachers amounting ld about -10 ner Hcent-thiia placing salaries In Portland about on a par with those in other Pacific coast and Jtockvmounta!ri.lties in Jhe same class with Portland in respect to pop ulation. Salaries of teachers consti tute the largest item of expense. In school maintenance. They have . In creased very largely in aggregate in the past 10 years, the disbursement xor the fiscal year 1910 being $701,812.15, as compared with, $208,74640 in 1900. In 1900 the maximum salary of a teach cr In the elementary school was $700 per year, and in the high schools $950 per year. Now the maximums are $1100 per year In the elementary schools ana $1800 - in the high schools. A young teacher entering the Portland schools now after the required two years' ex- perleBeethef TTelreolirlr minimum rate of $725 per year for the first flv mnnthM nf hpr Service. This Is $26 more per year than' the maximum salary1, of the best grade teachers io years ago. After the probationary period of five months, teachers are paid such additional sum as their certifi cates and experience warrant under the schedule in force. In figuring the cost of Instruction per pupil the items which enter into tho computation are salaries of teachers. Janitors,- superlntendenu and supervis ors, fuel, light water and supplies ana materials of all kinds which perish with their use. On this basis the cost of maintenance of our schools for ths entire year 1910 was $885,591.72. Tho total enrollment of pupils ror me cal endar year was 27,796; average number belonging, 21,341.6; maximum average number belonging. 23,190.8. The latter figure Is the fairest and most equitable divisor to be used in arriving at the cost of instruction per pupil as- it is the number of troplls to be provided for, Whether they attend school, or not, teachers and all other necessary ac commodations must bo provided for them, and if not so provided,' there s ImliTil nntmnlalnt from thn nuhllrv An epidemic, or a spall of unfavorable Weather, will cut down the attendance for a period long or short but the max imum average number belonging must always be taken care. of. On this basis, the cost of Instruction per pupil In 1910, was $38.19, In 1900, the total cost of maintenance was $263,175.66. Follow ing are comparisons, of cost between 1900 and 1910, based upon whole num ber registered and average number be longing: ' 1909 1910 Cost of malnte- nance. $263,175.65 $886,591.7; . full number , - registered , 12,674 ,, 17,798 Average number belonging ..... 10,258.9 21,341.8 Cost pes pupil, pasea upon " whole number registered $ 19.97 $ 31.86 Cost per pupil, based upon average number . . belonging 24.88 , 41.49 "The computation for 1900 is based upon a fiscal year ending, in Juris, com pared with a fiscal year ending, in De cember for 1910. "It is not proper accounting to eharge against the cost of instruction, money Inyesled for the purchase of land, erec tion of buildings, Installation of fur niture, improvements to grounds, and street and sewer assessments. These are permanent investments and are so regarded in every city In the country which keeps detailed account of its school expenditures. The city owns them and they become more valuable each year, subject only to a percentsge for depreciation. . -, "', Invitation to Taxpayers.
