THE ; OREGON' DAILY JOURNAL, POR TLAND, THURSDAY; DECEMBER 19 1918 13 EDUGATIONAL BILL IKT IMPORTANT Sparsely Settled Districts Are to Benefit by Measure Pending Before Congress. , Salirt. Dec, H. What 1 coneldered the most Important educational measure ever presented In congress is now pend ing before that body in the form of sen ate bill 498T. Introduced by Senator Hoke Smith. It provides for the establishment of a department of education, with a secretary at its head who shall be a member of the Dresldent's cabinet, and appropriates $100,000,000 annually for cooperation wmi mo twiuiw wQ certain lines of education .'If the bill becomes a law, which prom. Inent educators say is a foregone con elusion. Oreron will be entitled to $857, 617 annually from the government for this eduoatlonal work in this state. This fund will be aezrecated as follows: . . Lm fill. 11-14 ror.mi removal oi iiuwroci, 'Tor the Americanization of lmmi- srranti. $62,790.48. For v equalising educational opportunl ' tie. $4S,93S.I2. For physical and health education, S14.22S.S. t For better and more teacher prepare tloa. $148,769.10. To obtain the expenditure of this money In Oregon, this state win oe expected to match the fund dollar for dollar. The largest sum would be spent; for equalising educational opportunities. By that is meant that there shoujd be state wide and nationwide taxation, at least to the amount provided in the bill, for raising a fund to aid the sparsely set tled districts or districts with low prop- arty valuations to have adequate school facilities and' properly trained teachers. The next largest sum would go for physical and health education. This carries with it "the medical and dental examination of children of school age, the determination of mental and phy sical defects in such children, the em ployment of -school nurses, the establish ment and maintenance of school dental clinics, and the instruction of the people In the principle of health and sanitation,- Many Positions Open Tor Trained Women n f 1 1 Oregon Agricultural College, Corvallia, Dec 19.
