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. Many opportunities are open
to women trained in home economics,
according to. Dean A. B. Milam. It is
impossible to supply the demand for
those who hive thorough training. In
fact, persons who have bad both practi
cal and theoretical training are particu
larly desired. Many persons who have
had trade work in dressmaktng or milli
nery eh ops and also the college experi
ence will be wanted in the future, in
Smith-Hughes positions In educational
Institutions. The government will place
a latyre number of home demonstration
agents . throughout the country within
the next few weeks. Persons trained for
this work are difficult to find. Grad
uates of the college are nowdolng home
demonstration agent and extension work
in Massachusetts, Iowa, Colorado, New
York, Kansas, Delaware and elsewhere.

TAX ON PRODUCTS OF
CHiLD LABOR IS VOTED
REVENUE MEASURE
Action Declared Necessary to Cure
Conditions Arising Out of Su
, preme Court Decision.
Washington, Dec, 19. An amend
ment to the - revenue bill to Impose
a tax on the products of child labor.
was adopted Wednesday afternoon in the
senate by the vote of 50 to 12. All of
the senators who opposed it, with the
exception of Senatej Thomas of Colo
i ado, were from Southern states, as .fol
lows. - i -Bankhead,

tucky; Overman, North Carolina ; Pol
lock, South Carolina; Simmons, North
Carolina: Smith. Georgia; Smith, South
Carolina; Thomas, Colorado; Under
wood, Alabama; Williams. Mississippi.
. Sharp debate preceded adoption of the
amendment, those opposing it taking the
position that It was an unconstitutional
proceeding and would interfere with the
rights of states to legislate on such a
matter. V , -1 r
Supporters of the amendment argued
that it was necessary In order to cure
the conditions ariainc out of the re
cent decision by the United States su
preme court, holding the child labor law
unconstitutional.' '
It was contended by Senator Hard
wick. who led opposition to the amend
ment, that it was an attempt to make
use of the tax levy powers Of congress
to legislate on matter within tjhe
states. '., !
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, an
swering this argument, admitted that
the amendment would produce little or
no revenue, "but would tend to correct
a very grave evlL" t
