The Question of Teacher a Salaries
THE Willamette valley haa been low-apot pn th6 salary
map of western education. The paxfe probably fewest;
of any area west of the Rockies. Ther are two reasons tor
thf condition, one the fact that the delightful climate at
tracts teachers here for lower compensation than in leas fav
ored zones; another the low incomes which the school dis
tricts enjoy.
So far aj the Salem situation U eoncmd, the board is
quite helpless. Its warrant debt Is f he fcizhest of any district
in the aUterronntof well ver -JWy WWJft pmty M
other city districts are redacin or extinsuishinar their war
rant debt, the Salem dibt kaem xnounUn2, The board cannot
entertaia the proposals for general increases In salaries m-1
til it gets ft financial borne m better jHCder .
No mpnicipal corporation should operate with waxrjicjk
indebtedness. There are brief periods between tanaayin?
months when- it may be necessary to Isstje .arranfci; But P
every city and school .district should be able to close its fiscal
year with its current ohtotions paid Gd p warrants out-
Salem school board will have to do something to reduce this
floating debt. All the other school districts are making head
way along this line, and some of them have virtually ex
tinguished their warrant debt. "
Salem's immediate problem Is that the school enrollment

limitation acts as an effectual obstada for sufficient in
creases in revenue to keen up with the growth of the schools,
let alone taking care of a higher salary budget. It is not that
the work of teachers here1 is not "appreciated, for it is. But a
school district's puree has its limits just the same as the in
dividual's. .
The trouble with Oregon schools is that they have to
compete with other states where the atate government is
very generous with tne scnoois. uregon let its scnooi lanas
go for a pittance in the early days, s the income from the
permanent school fund is very small. The state elementary
school tax is very smalL In Washington, for example, the
state provides; $20 for; every chili of school age, and the
county $10. JJnti! there is a larger measure of state support
of education hi Oregon there; seems little chance for the
schools to pay the same salaries to teachers as neighboring
states. '. I. ? --'

- , Figures, on School Attendance
COME of the cities like Portland and Baker, are wonder-
M ing why the index of school attendance growth is not re
fleeted fn the census figures Baker for instance has had a
aubstantial growth in school attendance, but its population
Is stationary. Portland with a gain of 23 in school attend?
Unce has only about a ten per cent gam in population.
To make a careful study of this one should'go back to
the birth statistics of ten years preceding. Children in school
in 1920 must have been bora in 1914 or earlier. Children in
school in 1930 were bom in 1921 or earlier. Without having
the figures the speculation is probably idle. It must be re
called, however, that the. war period of 1914 to 1918 and par
ticularly from 1917-1919 was period ef deferred marriages,
Then when the war ended and the boys came home the wed
. ding bells started ringing .vigorously. Then followed the
births of children of these marriages; and what a fine crop
of youngsters they were. Now they are all n school. This
unnatural interference with matinzs in the war was followed
by a reaction the other way when the war ended, and prob
ably there was a higher ratio of births in the years 19Z0-
1924 which stimulated the growth m the school enrollment.
Here are other factors: the school attendance is longer
si4 "v AAwlw e a
children come from the country in greater numbers, swelling
the school enrollment in cities without increasing the genera!
population. " r
So far as water, light and telephone connections go, the
increases here are not . Very dependable.' They indicate
changes in economic status or in social habits as much as
rrowth-in numbers of the "consumers. ;
Figuring out the rhyi an4 wherefores of populatian
changes and lack of changes is as interesting as a cross-word
puzzle. It is a game which is open to everyone, but the sharp-
penciled statisticians will have the last word.

I700LOGISTS and entomologists know that the best way
v MJ to combat insect pests is to find some other and harmless
insect which will make war on the disturber. Many a plant
disease is thwarted by the introduction of some foe which
dees the trick and makes unnecessary special control meas
ures which so often are futile or only, partially effective.
We note that Trevor Kincaid, one of the most eminent
geologists in the country, whose work in Washington state
hss attracted wide attention, says that the' garden beetle is
the best antidote for earwigs. He , discounts 'the .value1 of
spreading poison, but commends the work Of the beetle. Here
is what he wrote a Portland man:

Itatton of the amouat that might

surplus for the revolving fund
and thus bare the new cite pur
chased for cash and tha new

aa quickly as could be done under
good business methods, with the
use of Inmate labor to the largest
possible extent.
V "a
Thla Is what was done at the
Minnesota state penitentiary at
Stillwater, It was done Just prior
to 1102, since which time that
institution has been entirely self
supporting, and has had a large
surplus in Its revolving fund moat
of the time, though at some peri
ods large borrowings, have been
made to buy raw materials as
for instance, during the World
war period. The raw materials
are mostly sisal from the state
qt Yucatan, Mexico, for the mak
ing oi twine, mostly omaer twine;
and' manila hemp from the Phil
ippines for the making of rope.
At first only the Inmates who
worked in the Industries were
paid a daily wage. Now every in
mate who works at any task re
ceives a daily wage, and there is
also a-bonus fund of about $20,
000 :a yr paid to the more needy
families oft the inmates. And the
Industries provide all the funds.
Nothing haa been asked from the
taxpayers of Minnesota tor the
support of the institution since
1902. All the state of Minnesota
as a going concern has done since
that date for the Stillwater peni
tentiary nas een to lend its
credit to provide n revolving fund
surplus; a working fund surplus.
The Oregon penitentiary ia
working to the same basis, under
aa almost identical revolving fund
las. Tha mala difference Is that
the credit resource of the state of
Oregon that la provided is only
150,001, ea account of the con
stitutional limitation. This ham
ner the ouick transfer of our in-
stttaUoa fo, ike Wis of self sup
port., though we have a better
primary , foundation, than Minne
sota, because we have- mr grow or
can grow all the raw materials
near the plant. .
Perhaps some member sitting
in the Oregon legislature at its
session convening in January
next can devise a better way
than that above suggested to al
low this state to' nave a new
prison 'and modern prison plant
at "one Jump, er to be acquired
and constructed quietly. Who
shall It be? :
The construction of the state
office building, the 'method of
providing the funds for which
passed the. test of the supreme
court; may offer 4 suggestion. '
-- -W
The basis is sound. The ques
tion, to be decided Is as to the
plan, under put eonstiiunonai
limitation. We can get around it
by bavins plenty of time. Per
haps we can vault over it at one
Jump. Or e eduple of Jumps.
