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.

ed a year's leave of absence ; in

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.

i rhe youth of America la un
dergoing a veritable reign of terror,-
Mr. Cantrell said In the first
lecture In a series ' of five which
he will; gtve weekly in Salem.
Mr. Cantrell left no doubt in
the minds of ther audience that
truth Is the most vital force In the
world, and truth. In the jrords of
Herbert Spencer, Is " the .corre
spondence of thought with things.
. Mr. Cantrell defended Judge
LIndsey's book without j reserva
tion, maintaining that a quarter
of. a century of actual experience
bas 'gone into the conclusions this
eminent legal figure- has drawn. '
The theme of thte lecturer was

The lecturer is one who- exalts
life above and beyond all opinions
concerning it all institutions that
have grown around it,
X Probably .the reason there . Is
a problem of i youth in the first
place Is because of the disparity
between the arrival of boys and
girls at maturity and the year at
which the biological urge can, in
marriage, be .fulfilled.
. "It is the social milieu In which
a boy-or girl Is brought up that
determines what he snail be," Mr.
Cantrell declared, on the side. ; .

lecturer will discuss "The Human
