COMPULSORY Li
J. II. ACKERMAN PRAISES
SCHOOL STATUTE.
Suys the Ijiw Compelling Attendance
nt School Is Doing a World of Good
In Starting Children Into Useful
Ways of Living Good Conditions In
Oregon Schools Generally.
Stale Superintendent of Public In
struction "J. H. Ackerman believes the
law compelling school children to at
tend school Is not ns effective as It
should he and ns a consequence there
are thousands of children In the rural
districts who are leading Idle lives.
In discussing the condition Mr. Ack
erman, among other things, says:
"What makes tht. law valueless s
the fact that It does not make any
one county or state officer responsi
ble for Its enforcement. As a conse
quence no one goes to the trouble of
seeing whether children In rural com
munities are In sihool or whether
they are contracting vicious habits
while loafing with Idle associates.
"I am ut work on an amendment to
the law which I shall try to have pass
ed by the next legislature, fixing the
responsibility for the enforcement of
compulsory education. The number
of children who do not attend school
Is very large through the rural com
munities, and the Influence of Idlers
nullifies the work of the Btudlous.
"Idle hands quickly become wicked
hands. I would not mind the absence
of rural children from. school so much
if they were working and wre phys
ically able to do the work, but In n
majority of cases they are doing noth
ing, and after a few years of freedom
fiom toil It will be Impossible to ed
ucate them.
"The rural school problem in Ore
Ron is especially hard on account of
the unsettled character of a large
percentage of the population.
"We hope to establish additional
hlg'i schools soon. The five counties
possessing these hlpher Institutions
have demonstrated the need of them
all over Oregon.
"By holding state Institutes In all
parts of the state we are trying to
uive the teachers a course of Instruc
tion especially adapted for their work
in counlty communities, and especial
ly in the revised courses of instruc
tions that have been adopted recent
ly. "The financial condition of the
schools Is very satisfactory. Benefic
ial results have followed the passage
of the law making It mandatory for
he countv co'i'-ts to levy lareer taxes
C li e support the schools. We
will not need any additional legisla
tion concerning finances for several
years.
"The rural school population Is In
creasing rapidly throughout the state,
Oregon is receiving Immigrants from
all parts of the country, and her pop
ulation Is growing In a rapid and
substantial manner."
State Superintendent Ackerman
will be a candidate for renomlnatlon
on the Republican ticket, and so far
there Is no one spoken of as likely to
enter the field against him. He seems
to be satisfactory to the educational
interests and to the people generally.

IRRIGATE THE TIETAN.
Government Project In Washington Is
Sure to Go.
"I do not think the people of Yaki
ma should become alurmed at the In
formation given In the papers about
the possible action of the secretary of
the Interior rclatlvo to the Tietan Ir
rigation project," said Congressman
Jones to t e Yakima Republic.
"There will be no cessation In the
work of the reclamation service an I
when everything Is "ady to go ahead
with the work the department will be
on hand with the funds," he contin
ued. "The people of Yakima must
continue their work and have every
thing In shape and by the time the
work that Is now under way here Is
completed the secretary will be ready
to muke final approval of the scheme.
As I understand It he has approved
the Tietan project, in so far as he can
act at present.
"The situation may be such that he
cannot set aside funds for this project
now. But there will be plenty of
money In the treasury by the time
things are in shape to go ahead In
Yakima. The r"nrile of Yakima must
not lie down at this stage of the game.
They must tnke on new energy and
put their shoulders to the wheel and
push the thing along. There Is no
reason, as has been suggested by the
correspondence from Washington,
why the fund that hag been set aside
fur that undertaking cannot bo di
verted to the Tletan. Ity next June
the reclamation fund will be material
ly Increased by several millions. This
will give plenty of money for the
Washington projects. Both the Tietan
and Okanogan projects will be carried
out and as the fund Increases the
Kittitas, Ledbetter and Sunnysldo
will be brought Into line of Improve
ments." Another phase of the question has
been discussed In the last few days by
the engineers thnt has not heretofore
heen given much publicity. This Is'
the amount of additional land that'
will be covered over the estimate
made by the engineers. The engl-1
neers were conservative and fixed the
estimate nt the low figure of 24,000
acres.
There are under the proposed ca
nal about 50,000 aces, but much of
the land was classed as poor land by
the engineers. On a second Investlga-I
Hon nnd a comparison with other'
lands that are now under a high'
state of cultivation In Yakima the
engineers have found that something
like 3000 more acres with the possl-!
blllty of still Increasing the amount, j
can be added to the former estimate.
A change In the canal has been ,
made so us to take In more land than
was at first contemplated. The water'
In the canal crossing the divide from!
the Cowlche valley was to have been
dropped 150 feet. It Is now planned
by the engineers to make ie drop
only 100 feet.
This would raise the canal In the
Wide Hollow and Ahtanum valleys 50
feet higher than originally surveyed.
By taking In more land the cost per
acre of building the canal would thus
be greatly reduced. The engineers
will make a supplemental report to
the secretary of the Interior on this
point.
