The New Oregon Statesman, Salem, Oregon, Thursday Morning, February tl,19t9 PASSES Tl Frequent Changes as Made by Commission Criti cized in Arguments (Continued from Fasre 1.) nsed In the schools would not be come obsolete and oat of date dar ing so long a period. He was ad Tlsed by Senator Fisher that this objection was eliminated through the receipt of supplemental pam phlet sdealing with recent events. "I consider 10 years too long a period for the adoption of text books," said Senator Miller. 'This bill would pat the" Instructors In a straight Jacket for that period of time. Educational methods should not, be crystaliied. Important chances are made effective over night, and the' schools should be allowed to progress. I believe the most important change in the fu ture is that of proYlding free textbooks." Textbook Trmts Flayed by Eberbard Senator E be r hard declared that - the 'prices of textbooks hare In " creased materially during the past few years. "Something must be I v done," said Eberhard, ' "or the state will go Into the-business of printing its textbooks. The text. book trust has the parents by the i neck under the present system." '"aV ''There is something glaringly i wrong without present system of adopting textbooks," said Senator Upton. "The parents are strug ! glingito keep np with the frequent ! changes of the textbooks. The educational fundamentals hare not changed, and we should put the brakes on the operations of the ' textbook commission. . The continual change of textbooks has added a great burden on the par ents of large families. We would do the peopie of. Oregon a valu j. able service in passing this bill." Newspaper clippings urging pas sage of Senator Fisher's bill were read by Senator Dunn during bis argament for the bill. "We are Interested in educational funda mentals," said Senator Dunn. "ami not with many of the new subjects offered by the textbook publishers from time to time. Senator Eddy Supports 1 Bilk. In 8 1 rone Speech . - .The people of Oregon are en titled to this law," said Senator Eddy. "If the people have been humbugged by educational lead ersr"it has been through the fre quent changes in textbooks. We should get away from a lot of the fads and frills which add to the expenses of the taxpayer. - The business of the teacher is to keep ' the pupils in touch with new ! ideas, but it is not necessary to purchase new textbooks every time one of these new ideas ap pear." , Senator Hall said he considered the bill a constructive piece of legislation, and urged its passage. "The process) of education is nothing more or less, than de velopment of the potential possi- bilities contained 1n the mind of I a child at birth. This can; be ac complished under this bill. It Is time that we cut loose from fads and frills. i Senator Schulmerich said that when he was a child the textbooks were handed down from one mem - ber of the' family to another for many years. "If my parents had been compelled to purchase text- - books every two years," said I Schulmerich, "it would have re ' suited disastrously for the family purse." . i License Fee For 8 melt Fishers Provided - ; The senate passed a bill by the Multnomah county delegation pro viding a license fee of 60 cents for Hpersons catching smelt in the San dy river. The catch Is limited to 25 pounds and the fish cannot be used for fertilizer. Senator Cor. bett said the bill would preserve the smelt and provide for the im provement of the river. "Smelt have no protection under the ex isting laws," said Cerbett; ."and they are taken out of the river by the tons. - The purpose of the bill is to prevent waste.' Senator Bennett objected to the bill because It Imposes 'a license fee of 60 cents m persons catch ing smelt "Poo? people r catch smelt for food, said Bennett, "and they should not be taxed. The purpose of this bill could be attained through a tax levied on the commercial fishermen." Ben netf'sald the commercial fisher men were not. taxed at the present time1. ; ' r:' . ' Senator Moser replied that the com'mercial fishermen already pay a poundage tax. . - I'1 - "Since this senate has voted to preserve the rights' of the pino-j "chle player we should preserve the rights of persona who wish to fish ' for -smelt," said Senator Eddy ' Senator Butt said he believed the bill would have accomplished the same purpose had the license fee of 60 cents been eliminated." The senate also approvd a bill by the committee on elections and privileges providing that vacan cies In nominees between the pri mary and- general elections may be. filled by the party committee. men. Senator Kiddle - said that both Jhe republican and demo cratic leaders favored this bill. Facb "Not Worth Remembering" about the Legislature 1.
