culture department came In for
the major criticism. The class
room was declared too small, too
far from the school building, and
not equipped with sufficient num
ber of tools.
Change Saggested
Other criticisms included no
provision in the school for a fire
proof vault In which to keep the
permanent, school records; tho
dressing rooms and shower rooms
in the gym should oe enlarged to
give better circulation and sanita
tion: the library should be In
creased in size, and flagpole blown
down in recent storm, replaced.
If these recommendations are
carried out, Jefferson win be
back on a standard basis with Sa
lem and Silverton, the only other
standard schools in the, county.

JEFFERSON It was an unanimous ooinion of those present this
week at the school budget meeting, that the present Jefferson school
is overcrowded, and something must be done about It and quick. En
rollment has been steadily growing the past few years, with a likely
prospect of Increasing the enrollment 100 percent In the next 10 years.
If school facilities here remain
inadequate, this district may find
Itself voted into one of the larger
districts on all sides of as, patrons
declared. High school pupils would
then be transported to another
school; leaving only, a grade school
In Jefferson.
The school board has an
nounced it is negotiating for an
option on a site Of 23 or 24 acres
of ground adjoining Jefferson.
Members feel it would take care of
present and future needs of the
district. It win be large enough
for an athletic field, agricultural
work, etc., now lacking.
Option Seoght
If the option is secured and ap
proved by the voters, the board
plans to build a four or five-room
unit on this ground for next falL
and to add another block of rooms
and a gymnasium later.. When this
is done, it will be converted Into
a high school.
The board hopes to complete the
option in two or three weeks at
the most, so that this plan can be
submitted to the district for im
mediate vote. If the building pro
gram Is approved, haste in build
ing will be necessary to nave tne
unit ready for use when school
opens this falL Building estimates
show it will cost approximately
S12.0Q0 per room to .build.
At the present, mere are 4T
tuition students attending Jeffer
son high school, with 79 students
from our own district swelling tne
total to 128. Tho present enroll
ment of the four top grades in the
grade school added to the high
school In the next four years will
make 111, plus the non-high or
tuition students. The state depart
ment of education expects an 100
percent Increase in ten years.
Budget Hike Due
Another matter coming up for
general discussion was the inade
quacy of the school budget, and
the need for increasing teachers'
pay here. The board and budget
committee voted to raise the bud
get 10 percent above the $81,240,
originally published. This will be
used to raise teachers' salaries and
to provide for clerical help for
the school superintendent. Teach
ers salaries will be changed from
the present flat rate to a salary
based on educational training and
number of years of service, as
recommended by the county of
fice. Two weeks ago, the state de
partment of education inspected
the school, putting it on a conditionally-standard
basis and mak
ing recommendations. The agri
