Salem Bimiu of Tbe Journal.!
'"' Salem. -Or., Feb. 20. "The most con
structive piece of educational legisla
tion enacted for a number of years is
that contained In .. B. 61 by Sena
tor Perkins, providing for a high
school tuition fund," said State School
J$jerintenierit J. A. bur oh ill in. a
resume of jschool legislation given out
today.
- Under the provisions of this "bin
every boy and girl in the state may
secure a four year high school educa
tion free of any tuition charges.
"Many letters have conie to ray of
fice durieg the patst year," he con
tinued, "unking for some relief for
those parents who live In school dis
tricts Hot able to maintain a high
school. If they send their children to
neighboring districts to secure a high
school education, tuition Is charged,
and In many eases, this tuition is al
111 out prohibitive. Under the provis
ions of Sa. B. 64, a special tax shall be
levied in each county once a year upon
all th taxable property In the county,
not situated in any high school dis
trict, to produce a county high school
tuition fund, sufficient to take care
of all pupils who attend high schools
outside of their resident districts. The
. bill does not aflect those counties
now maintaining a county high school
or' those counties in which the county
high school fund law is now in oper
ation. Each high school receiving pu
pils front other districts must file a
report with the county school superin
tendent once a year, showing the ac
tual cost lof education each high
school pupil attending such school.
The per capita cost shall be deter
mined by dividing the total amount
expended by the high school district
for maintaining high school during the
school year, "by the average daily at-
t tendance of pupils enrolled in the
high sehool for the district for th
same year.
Standards for County Superintendent.
"Hereafter in order to become a
county uchool superintendent, one
matt have taught school for at least
" 27 months, 12 of which must have
been la Oregon, and must hold a state
certificate based upon his graduation
from a standard normal sehool, a
standard college or university, or hold
a life certificate based upon exami
nation. Such are the provisions of
the Kinkle bill. This bill was pre
faced by the county school superin
tendents themselves In their conven
tion held at Salem last December.
-Th superintendents felt that the
atswvdards for a county superintendent
should he raised, and that 'the recom
mendations should come from them.
Representative Hinkle of Umatilla
county was successful In putting the
bill through the legislature for tbe
superintendents.
"Another bill of Interest to the
school teachers of Oregon Is the Moser
biJl, providing tliat women teachers
shall receive for like services pay
equal to that of men teachers. Miss
Galloway of Albany was very much
Interested in tbe bill and secured ray
cooperation tn bringing the matter
before tbe legislature.
"By H. B. 87. two slight changes
were made In the union high school
law by Mr, Dillaid. Hereafter it
will require a majority of districts
. voting to establish a union sehool
as well as a majority of those voting
In order to establish a union high
school district.
. l'H. B. 243, by Mr. Dillard, died in
the house committee. It provided for
a number of changes In the certificate
law, and required the county super
intendents to examine the teachers'
training courses In the high schools.
The members of the committee felt
that the bill made too many changes
Iri the present certificate law, which
Ms, giving general satisfaction.
'S. B. 11, by Mr. Dimick, provided
in the original bill that the county
supervisory law should be repealed.
A Joint committee on education held a
hearing In my office. The friend of
the supervisory law made such a
snowing that Senator Dimick consent
ed to withdraw his bill and amend it
ao as tb make it optional in each coun
ty. The optional bill was agreed upon
by Senator Dimick and the senators
who were supporting the supervisory
law. It provides that tha law stand
as. It now is, but that in any county
the school directors may by a majority
petition signed by a majority of the
school director of the county, net
aside the law for their particular
county. The directors must taka the
initiative themselves, and when they
have once begun to circulate a peti
tion, they have only 30 days In which
to complete the work. If a county
should decide to set aside the super
visory law, it may afterwards be re
vived in the same manner.
Certificate 7e Reduced,
"S. B. 190 The senate committee
on education, of which Senator Hawley
Is chairman, makes a reduction in the
fee for a life certificate from $S to
$3: for a five -year certificate, from
i to $2; for a special certificate,
from $6 to 3, and for a renewal of a
one year certificate, from $2 to $1
This bill was introduced by the sen
ate committee at the request of State
Superintendent Churchill. His purpose
was to encourage teachers to work for
the higher grade certificates. The
fee tor the one year certificate was
not reduced because when that fee
la too low it has the effect of en
couraging a large number of students
who -do not intend to teach to take the
examination merely for the expert,
ment of seeing what grades they can
secure.. This works a hardship upon
the teachers who are conscientious!.
striving to secure a certificate.
To Investigate County Unit idea.
"A bill making optional the county
unit of administration was introduced,
by Senator Ragsdaie of Sherman coun.
ty, at the request of a large number
of his constituents. The bill planned
'to have one central board for all dis
tricts excepting those of the first
class, but the local board were to re
main as they now exist and were to
have the power of looking after local
matters and of building the school
bouse and taking care; of the school
plant. Eisht Eta tea west of the Rocky
mountains have similar bills in the
legislature at the present time.
"As thero seems to be pome misun
derstanding in this etate as to tho
working of this bill and the value of
it. Senator Ragsdaie, at my request,
withdrew th bill and the committee

"While there were a large number

the committees on education that many

Small Institution, They Bay,
("alem Buresn of The Journal.)
Salem, Or., Feb, 20. Opposition of
several up-stato representative and
some or the Multnomah county delega
tion caused the defeat In the house thl
afternoon of S. 11. 260, introduced by
the senate committee on bankingr-pro
viding more stringent regulations for
trust companies allowed to do business
In the state under the direction of th '
Commissioner of banking. ,
JJr. Andrew O. Smith, of Multnomah
county. In defending the bill, mad
charges that the most pemlclou lobby
ing he had ever seen had feen waged"
against the measure, and tl:a,i by Port
Land trust men who ure ' .lng sued for '
their office rent, lie iecrlcd the op
position as an effort of the. weak con
cerns to block that regulation which
the safety of trust funds requires.
One of the features of th lobbying
campaign, he ald, wa the surrepti
tious altering of certain words as it
appears in the printed bill, th chican
ery taking place somewhere between
the engrossing room and th printers.
Not that this chang would affect th
act, he ald. but It undoubtedly wa
Intended to influence member against v
the measure.
The words "or bank" were left out
of the bill, he said, leaving th infer
ence that the small banks It 1 do
sired should come under its protection
were not accorded the rights Intended
by the bill.
Representative Stanfield - spoke
strongly In favor of the bill, and Rep
resentative Vawter opened and closed
the discussion. Others who opposed th
measure were Fenwick of Lane, Lewis
of Multnomah. Their contention wa
that the big trust companies would be
enabled to grow bigger, while th Httf
tie ones would have to quit business
entirely.
