Larger r Units ior School
Children Advocated to
: Lower Taxation
8CIO, Jan 21. Rex Putnam,
superintendent of schools at Al
bany, chose "Our Educational Sys
tem Financially" for the subject
of bis address before- the P. T. A.
Thursday night. He belieres that
a larger unit of centralization of
schools ""would make for economy.
In that It would mean purchasing
in larger units, less teachers, and
less overhead.
The Oregon legislature passed
a law requiring that common
school grade and high school
bo established and maintained.
For this purpose, In 1931, the
state- contributed only SI. 67 per
pupil. The rest, which In Oregon
would probably average $78.33, is
raised in the county and school
districts, by property tax. In the
United Statas in 1931 $20,500,000
was spent in schools.
In Linn county there are 149
chool districts, 9 of which have
one-room schools. Only in one oth
er county. Lane with 104, are
there more one-room schools. In
the state as a whole are 2200
school districts, with 2750 tax
levying bodies, each with the
privilege of levying taxes.
Mr. Putnam believes that with
larger units of organization, in
efficiency in expenditures would
be eliminated, school standards
would be raised, and school taxes
In the different districts would be
equalised.
A short program preceded Mr.
Putnam's talk: "America" In
Spanish by Spanish class, Irene
Palon, Helen Myers, Edris Thay
er.Margarete Davenport, Sylvia
Snyder, Frank sigurdson, How
ard Shelton and Melvin Holt;
'Adeste Fidelis," Latin class, La
Vaun Gardner, Geraldine Rodgers,
Sylvia Bartu, Maxine Arnold, Hel
en Miller and Frances Combs;
piano duet, "Stars and Stripes
Forever," La Vaun Gardner and
Ruby Rosprafka.
Miss Doris Klindt presided over
the brief business meeting and an
nounced that the February meet
ing will be in charge of the sev
enth and eighth grades, under the
direction of E. P. Caldwell. Dr.
Charles Sherman, psychology pro
fessor at Willamette university,
