Forty-five years ago Bend had one school, one teacher and about enough pupils to count on both fingers of the teacher's hands. This fall, when schools open here, there will be more than 100 teach ers on the Job, and well over 2.000 pupils. Miss Ruth L. Reid of Center ville, New Brunswick, four .miles from the Maine boundary, came across the continent to teach school here in the fall of 1904. A Bend school. Reid, now bears her name. Bend's lone teacher of 45 years ago is now Mrs. J. H. Overt urf. She received SG0 a month in 1904-05, her first year of long service in the Bend school system. Dictionary Purchased Apparently proud in having attracted a teacher across the continent, the Bend school board, headed by L. D. Wiest as chair man, decided on some improve ments for the one-room school. It was decided that the cabin like building should hnve a new stove, a wall clock and nn un abridged dictionary. The new teacher was gradu ated from the New Brunswick Normal school in 1899 and taught in her native county of Cnrlcton before accepting the offer to teach In the frontier Oregon town. Bend, in an era when Sha niko still was the end of the rails. A. W. Nelson is principal of Bend's oldest and newest schools, Reid, long in use here, and the J. Alton Thompson grade school. Nelson Is also supervisor of elementary education in Bend. Most Schools In Deschutes Open Sept. 6 With All Deschutes county rur al schools, except Sisters, slated to be open to students September 6. the Job of adding last minute touches to school buildings and grounds, and familiarizing new teachers with their schedule of ac tivities for the 1949-50 school year, was under way this week over the county.

One build ing, formerly known as the New Reid school, will bear a new name, the J. Alton Thompson grade school. The name honors the late J.

Stop Signals Set For School Buses That yellow and black essential to modern learning the school bus will soon be a familiar sight along Oregon highways again. But at leasth one thing will be dif ferent. - Every bus will be eventually equipped with a stop signal arm in red with white lettering which will flip out when the bus has stopped to load or unload chil dren. But the bus itself is a stop sign which motorists will be re quired to obey. The last session of the legisla ture made it mandatory for driv ers to stop on meeting or over taking a school hiia which has halted along and street or high way; Only exception is on mul tiple lane highways, where cars approaching from the opposite di rection may proceed. The law formerly allowed driv ers to pass school buses at a speed not greater than 15 miles per hour. The stopping require- ment is intended to provide great- school bus riders In Oregon.
