CALL IS ISSUED
on
CONFERENCE
tVestern traffic Officials to
Assemble in Portland in
Near Future
Sam A. Kozer", secretary of
state, issued' a call Saturday for
a conference of traffic enforce
ment "officers of California', Ida
ho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon,
Utah, Washington and British Co
lumbia to be held in Portland
October 6, 7 and 8 "for the mu
tual exchange of ideas and infor
mation relative to the improve
ment of the laws governing the
operation of motor vehicles upon
the highways, to the end that
uniformity as far as possible in
such laws may be obtained
throughout the states and our
neighboring countries."
Kozer Is chairman of the ex
ecutive committee of the confer
ence of motor vehicle administra
tive and traffic enforcement offi
cers of the above named states
and British Columbia. Invitations
have been extended to the admin
istrative and traffic Officers of the
states of Arizona; Colorado and
Wyoming to join the Pacific
coast association, as their prob
lems are considered identical with
those of the coast. Similar confer
ences are held by groups of states.
one comprising the eastern and
one the middle western states,
and these two groups are to hold
a conference at Louisville, Ky.,
September 29 to October 5.
SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT
During the next few weeks
more fathers and mothers, living
in ruraf communities, are going to
see the lhsides of schoolhouses
than they have seen for many
months. This is because 1924 U
a presidential election year and
many political meetings will be
held in schoolhouses.
. While you are there, mothers
and fathers, look around and see
if these schoolrooms are fit places
for your children to spend the best
part of five, days out of seven
Windows should be on ono side of
the room and the amount -of glass
area should be from one-fourth to
one-fifth ot the floor area; they
should be capable of being lower
ed from the top and raised from
the bottom and should have ad
justable shades. If there is an un
Jacketed stove In the center of the
room an equal distribution of heat
for all part of the room is Impos
sible. This difficulty can be over
come by placing In a corner a Jack
eted stove with a fresh air intake
and a foul air outlet; Is there an
open water pail and a common dip
per? This la : condemned by Intel
ligent public 'opinion, and prohib
ited by law in many states. Are
the seats of one size or non-adjustable?-
If so jyour little five-year
old girls sit all day with their feet
dangling and your big over-grown
fourteen-yearfold boys are stuffed
into seats several sizes too small.
Inspect the toilets and see whether
they are an insult to decency and
a menace to health. '
It is most fitting that the peo
ple should gather in their own
buildings the public schoolhous
es to hear reasons why they
should or should not vote for this
or that party candidate or- refer
endum measure. It is real com
munity civicsi Out of it comes a
more intelligent electorate. One
of itg important by-products may
be a revived interest in school
rooms and their equipment.
