A cut of 92.10.000 n year or more is likely to hit the divisions hi this city alone. Th.3 problem of making these sav ings judiciously and without interfer ing more than possible with the qual ity of educational work superceded that of making some application of the recommendations of the federal survey, which according to members of the higher bonrd would be a motter of gradual development rather than nbrupt change. May Drop Teachers Just what the cuts will mean in dob lars and cents to the various commu nities affected, nobody connected with the higher board or the schools would predict Mondny, but in every case they will probably mean the dropping of teachers, the abandonment of courses, the raising of student quirements to eliminnte the less tit nnd probably in the case of Oregon Stnte the raising of student fees to the scale long since established by the University.
