A sum of $213.15 was withheld on account of cracks which have developed in the concrete floor of the front hall. The contractors will be asked to remedy this de fect.

The builders of this nation . drafted this historic document to t give plan and purpose to a new ideal of government founded on the rights of individual men," read the proclamation. "They recog nized that certain principles of liberty and Justice are fundamen tal and not subject to change of time or circumstance. "To establish and permanently safeguard these principles they framed the constitution wliich has guided and governed our n and favorable, till we have em braced and developed a great conr tinent and have grown to a proud place among the nations of the world. 5 "I urge the people of this com monw'ealth to commemorate this occasion with fitting exercises, and ask especially that all schools and various institutions pf learning Impress upon the youth to whom it is their duty to import know ledge, the necessity of obedience to our laws and the vital importance of our federal constitution." ) Constitution Day will be.job aerved in Salem with a special v'Vgram at the state house Seior- ,-y evening at 8 o'clock, under jthe mspices or the Daughters or American Revolution.

UNABLE TO ACCOIMODATE ALLi Six New Teachers Elected; Con tracts for School Supplies Awarded The school board does not feel disposed to inaugurate bus ser vice for students who wish to at tend Salem high school from out lying districts surrounding the city. This was indicated last night when a request from citizens in Lincoln. Oregon. 7 miles down tlm river in Polk county, asking for a bus to transport students from there to Salem was presented by Superintendent Hug. No action was taken by the school board, but it was pointed out that if this service was inaug urated, new building facilities would be necessary, and granting of this particular request would set a precedent which would make necessary putting buses on every road. The enrollment at the high school even now taxes facilities. it was said. Six new assignments of teach ers to positions were approved by the board, Minnie V. Duncan, sec ond grade teacher at Garfield, was elected principal of Washington school. Other elections were: Ma rie Stenstrom, for some years teacher in Idaho schools, to teach biology and physiology in the high school; Carmellta Bar quist, Willamette graduate, to teach biology at the high school; Earl Douglas, Willamette gradu ate, to take charge of physical education at MeKlnley school; Mary J. Rleth, of Seattle, to teach penmanship at MeKlnley; and Irene Porristel. of Minneapolis, to teach sixth grade. The new elections were made necessary by recent resignations.

"AND ACCOMPANYING THE COOLIDGE PARTY WAS" PUBLIC SCHOOLS' GROWTH MARKED RECORDS OF 1873 SHOW ONLY 374 ATTENDING HERB Instruction Was Haphazard; High er Branches Slighted, Report Says By Yictor D. Carlson Nearly 4500 Salem boys and girls next Monday will take their seas at well scrubbed desks in 12 up-to-date public school buHd inga valued at approximately one million dollars to receive Instruc tion from 190 teachers. 1 Fifty five years ago, a mere. 874 pupils were enrolled for haphaz ard instruction from nine teach ers in school property valued at $14,900, The contrast Is startling. It demonstrates vividly the rapid growth Salem public schools have experienced since a tax for free schools was imposed :in 1872 for the first time. "The results of the year have .been so satisfactory that It is not likely Salem will ever give up free schools," chronicled L. J. Powell, then Superintendent of common schools In Marlon coun ty. His prediction has been more than fulfilled. The schools of that day had no efficient system of grading. The buildings, too, were widely scat tered. The insistence of pupils on' their right to attend at the point nearest them created many diffi culties. Higher banches of study, as a result, were slighted. Each teach er had to take charge of from 35 to 40 pupils, only three or fourof whom desired advanced work. In structions were issued by the Su perintendent to the effect that pri mary classes should -receive the teacher's chief attention. East Salem had the only higher branch department in the city. i The average salary for teach ers in 1872 was $44.28 per month. Attendance requirements Tontinnprt on par .

(AP) The round-the-world monoplane Pride of Detroit, hopped off at Omura at 6:35 a. m, (Japan, time), for Kasumigaura, near Tokyo. Receipt of the announcement of the American monoplane's hop off disposes of doubts as to what may have happened to the plane in yesterday's typhoon and tidal wave which struck the section of Kiushiu island on which Omura is located.
