Every boy. and. girl ,in .Oregon is to have opportunity to take a four-year high school course without tuition cost to them, after a new law goes into ef fect May zzT State School f Superin tendent J. A. Churchill believes the law which provides for this Is the most Important law, affecting education, passed by any legislature in the United states tms year. The law Is for the benefit of the beys and girls who live in districts which do not have four-year higrt schools. Jn the past many of them, after, finishing the lower grades, have wanted more schooling, but their pa rents have not been able to send them away to school when the cost of tuition must be borne on top of the expense of board and room. That situation will not longer prevail. . Provision is made in the new law for taxing each school district whicb. does not , have a four-year high school to raise a fund to pay the tuition of all the students In that district who go to another district to attend high school. This applies to districts which have two and; three-year high schools, as well as those which have no high schools. All to Have Zonal Chance. It is to be. seen, therefore, that the best high schools are to be open to the boys and girls who live in the rural districts, as well as to the young peo ple in the city. 1 Superintendent Churchill' says that the law Is going- to have another effect It is going to stimujate the movement for union high schools in the rural dis tricts If it does this, it will be worth much to the-state, he says. In many of the rural and small town districts he-has visited he has pointed out to- the parents the advantages cf the union, high 'school. He points out that if their boys and girls, when they finish the-grades, go to the city to at tend high-school, the. propertyi owners of the district will be taxed to pay tui tion fees ranging from $60 -to $80 a year for each pupil, while If they bad their own union high school, the cost would not b over $35 to $40 per pupiL i; financial Side Appeals. The financial side appeals to .them, but not more than the .idea .of being able to keep their boys and girls at home with them on the farm. Un-ler the union high school law two or more districts may combine to bear the ex pense of providing and-maintaining- a high school. The .. school Is located within accessible i distance of : every farm. The boys and I girls are home every night. They are net weaned away from the farm by the glamour of cits' life. . Their interest in farm life is not distracted. ' .. '-.iisf k-T, -s.
