FALL OPENING OF OLD SCHOOL HOUSE VOTED (Continued from Pass V.) estimated that $10,000 per year would be required to operate the re-opened school, if one teacher was elected to handle each grade. The new school there would make possible the relief of only one teacher at Garfield, he believed. The superintendent also point ed out that a large number of peo ple in (he district- were opposed to re-opening the school. Some , relief, however, he believed, abso lutely necessary for next year since Englewood Is crowded and would probably require the build-, ing of an additional unit. . Gar field, Grant and -Richmond also are badly crowded. In Garfield and- Englewood schools there are 7 or 8 rooms which have around 45 pupils, too many to be cared for properly by one teacher. The old school building has been standing vacant-for some years. It was condemned as unsafe two years ago for .the large number of students then in attendance. A bond issue to build a unit at Washington and one at another school was brought about a year ago, but taxpayers voted to com bine the funds for these projects and construct instead the Leslie sJunior high school. A watchman was maintained at the deserted school until last winter. Since then It has been unwatched and many windows have been broken, walls and fixtures, too have been mutilated by children playing about inside. Mrs. Amoine Clarke was' elect ed principal of Leslie Junior high school for next. year. Mrs. Clarke will receive a salary of $1800. Water Welbon, a Willamette sen ior.! who Is doing part time physi cal I education Instructor" at Mc Kinley was elected . to s full time position as Instructor of English and; physical education -at Leslie Junior high school, at $140 per month. Mary C. Linn was grant ed a year's leave of absence ; in order that she might take gradu- ate the work in domestic science at University of California4 next fall A petition for commercial de partment instructors at - Salem high school threatening resigna tion if their salaries were not In creased was banded to the board. Commercial department teachers In the high school here average a salary of only $100, the petition pointed out. whereas students are turned out by the department who merit salaries much higher immediately upon graduation. The petition also stated.: that the new requirements of physical examinations ; for which teacher's themselves have to ;pay "cat still more deeply into the low salaries, and that the reading circle work was fbo great. The petition was referred to Superintendent Hug. A standard fee among physi cians for this examination, work will probably be agreed upon, Director Dr. Downs stated. .This fee will probably be a: moderate one in spite of the fact that each individual examination take's about an hour and a half. A cur sory examination, he said would be merely a farce. A form has been drawn up which will be used hereafter, but certified forms which teachers have already turn ed In will be accepted.
