School System's Fame Spreads
To Remote New South Wales
The fame of Eugene's school sys
tem has spread far. Even unto such
centers of culture and human ad
vancement as New South Wales,
the most populous state of sparsely
populated Australia.
Clarence Hines, present super
intendent ot .the Eugene system,
was informed of this far-flung
fame through a pamphlet forward
ed to him by Dr. J. F. Cramer, for
mer Eugene superintendent.
The pamphlet contains a reprint
ing of a speech delivered last fall
before the New South Wales legis
lative assembly by Mr. E. D. Dar
by, B. Ec, M. L. A.
Report From Eugene
After moving that a select com
mittee be appointed to Inquire into
and report upon the problem of
decentralization of education in the
state, Mr. Darby supported his mo.

tion with a long series of examples
putting forth the advantages of de
centralized educational set-ups.
Part way through he said:
"Before leaving the subject of
schools in other parts of the world
I propose to refer to the annual re
port of the Eugene schools of 1941.
"Eugene Is a town of about 20,
000, situated in the backwoods of
the state of Oregon.
"It controls its own educational
system, and each year presents a
report of its 4000 school children
and their 145 teachers.
There is an account in the re
port of the activities ot the educa
tional b.oard. The town has every.
thing educationally, including two
high schools. Each high school has
its own symphony orchestra and
band, and if a child is sick, its home
is visited.
In one year." Darby marvelled
before the assembly, "every child
was inspected by a school nurse.
In addition, every child was given
anti-tubercular treatment; and
crippled children were given les
sons by a school teacher in then-
homes.
"The board." he then added, "has
assets of $1,500,000, and liabilities
of $200,000. This year it received
$450,000 and spent $380,000.
"One Of The Best"
"I admit," Darby concluded,
"that this is a show district one
of the best. But it indicates what
can be done by a decentralized sys
tem.
"People (of Eugene) who read
the report of the board are active.
ly interested themselves in the ed
ucation of their locality, in vivid
contrast to the disinterestedness of
the people of New South Wales

Business Hurt
By Flood News
SPOKANE M President Tru
man has been asked to "help over
come the unfavorable publicity'
received by the Pacific Northwest
because of its recent floods.
The request was made in a tele
gram sent by Joseph Drumheller,
president of the Spokane Chamber
of Commerce.
"Official releases coming from
high government officials that the
Pacific Northwest is a disaster
area are creating an alarming sit
uation in the minds of people who
desire to do business with us, and
with thousands of tourists plan
ning vacations here," the message
said. . . . ,
Drumheller asked that President
Truman issue a personal statement
that "the Pacific Northwest is back
to normal."
Accident Mars
Vacation Trip
NEVADA CITY. Cal. (U.R)
The proposed vacation trip of an
Eagle Point, Ore., mother and her
five children ended in the county
nospuai nere.
Mrs. Mary Picard. 38. and her
children, Donald, 17, Beverly
Ann, 13, Kenneth, 8, Penny, 4,
and Ralph Picard Jr. 15 months,
all were injured when their car
brakes failed to hold arid the ve
hicle plunged over a cliff 20 miles
east of here. They were bound
for Milwaukee, Wis., for a vaca
tion.
Hospital authorities said the
mother appeared to be the most
seriously injured and that the
teen-aged children were hurt
more than the smaller children.
Highway Patrolman -George
Hammill, who discovered the ac
cident, said it was a "miracle'
that any of them were alive. He
said the car was completely de
molished.
Ralph Picard, . the children's
father, lives in Medford, Ore.
Honesty Beats
The Humidity
CHICAGO (U.R) There were
800 cases on the docket In Chica
go's traffic court and with the
temperature - and the humidity
climbing toward the 100 mark,
tempers were high, too.
Stewart Becker, 19, approached
prosecutor William H. Barth and
asked that his case be heard then
instead of next day as scheduled.
Barth took a dim view ol the pro.
spect.
But Becker explained thai he
thought he was supposed to come
up for trial today on a speeding
charge. This was the only time of
the year he could take his vacation
and he had made arrangements to
go to Canada,
"I wanted that vacation," he
said, "but I also knew I had to
appear for trial. So I went on my
vacation and flew here from Can
ada, thinking I was due here. It
cost me $90 plane fare."
Barth went into a huddle with
Judge Gibson E. Gorman.
"It is very refreshing on a bad
day to find a young man of such
a deep feeling of responsibility,"
Gorman said. "Case dismissed."
Becker flew back to Canada and
the rest of his vacation.
