GASOLINE TO REMAIN
HIGH NEXT SEASON
(By United Prw to the Bend Bulletin)
WASHINGTON. D. C, March 10.
Congress was too busy with other
things to look into the price of gas
oline as suggested by Representative
Steenerson's resolution In the House;
and consequently automobile own
erg probably will pay a- good stiff
price for their gas again this year.
Thousands of cars were kept In their
garages last year because gas was
too high; and unless a substitute is
found or prices come down, they
probably will stay there this year too.

School Hoard Order Deposit to Pre
vent Contract Jumping Pay .
Schedule Adopted Bolt i .
Given Extra Job,
More stringent requirements for
Instructors than have ever been In
force here before, placing Bend on a
footing with the foremost first class
districts of the State, were adopted
last night in the form of a resolu
tion by the Bend school board. The
chief change made over the require
ments hitherto prevailing, is tbat the
board shall employe no one as a
teacher in the grades, who' Is not at
least a graduate either of a standard
normal school. The date on which
teachers will be elected for the com
ing year In this district, was fixed
for March 22.
Block Contract Jumping.
To prevent contract jumping in
the future, the board ruled that each
of the teachers re-elected, and ac
cepting the apoplntment, will leave
$10 from her last month's salary as
a deposit. The deposit will be re
turned in case the instructor's resig
nation Is handed in before July 1, but
in case a contract is broken between
July 1 and the opening of school, the
deposit will be forfeited. The board
has been put to some trouble in for
mer years by the breaking of con
tracts, virtually at the last minute,
and the new ruling is Intended to
eliminate this problem. .
With the formation of a first class
district here, the state reading cir
cle work will no longer be compul
sory tor teachers, and in its place,
the board substituted the ruling that
instructors must either attend the Na
tional Education association conven
,tioa.. In.. Portland, this summer, or
must read and report to, the city su
perintendent on two works on educa
tion during the school year. V .
Paying System Adopted.
A uniform plan for paying substi
tute teachers was adopted, and tem
porary instructors will now receive
75 per cent of the salary of the reg
ular incumbent. For an absence of
one day the regular teachers will re
ceive their usual compensation, tor
four days' absence 75 per cent, and
for two weeks absence 50 per cent
of the regular wage.
In addition to his present duties
as principal of the high school, Eric
Bolt was elected principal of the
grades in the old high school build
ing, the board deeming that the close
proximity of the two buildings would
enable him to attend to both.
The resignation of Miss Joanna
Hislop, teacher in the eighth grade,
was accepted, and Miss Mary Maclay,
of Monmouth, elected in her stead.
