2 EXCLUSIVE NEWS DISPATCHES WILLAMETTE VALLEY NEWS BY SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 1933 OREGON SCHOOL COSTS SUBJECT OF PUTNAM TALK Sdo Decentralization In the Ore gon system of education Is one of the serious drawbacks In the situa tion in this state, according to Rex Putnam, superintendent of city schools at Albany, who addressed the Scio Parent-Teachers associa tion Thursday night at the high school. His address had to do chiefly wun educational iinances. "Twenty-two hundred school dis tricts In Oregon are assessing taxes for the support of schools, and this system is pyramiding costs to the taxpayers to a point approaching oppressiveness," Putnam dcclored. Linn county has 149 school districts and each Is compelled under laws of the state to provide ways and means for financing their schools. "In Linn county there are 96 one teacher schools, each taxing its pro perty owners for the support of a decentralized system of education that is producing glaring financial inequalities. In 1929 and 1930 this system cost the taxpayers of Ore gon 014 million dollars, 97 percent of which was property tax," the speaker said. "In the city of Al bany the approximate average an nual cost per pupil for education is $80, and the state pays (1.07 toward this cost. Under the constitution the state legislature Is charged with the responsibility of providing educa tion for the children of the state; the state prescribes what shall be done but contributes only $1.67 per pupil, leaving the school units to do the rest." Larger units of organization, In cluding small schools that are struggling for existence, would go a long way in solving a situation that Is pressing for solution, Putnam de clared, adding that It would Insure a measure of economy so much needed at this time. A brief song service, led by Miss Clarke of the high school staff, marked the opening of the meeting, at which Miss Klindt, vice-president, presided In the absence of Mrs. Holcchek, and announced that at the February meeting of the as sociation the seventh and eighth grades would furnish the program, and that a speaker from Willamette university would address the meet ing. "America" was sung In Spanish by a local high class consisting of Irene Palon, Sylvia Snlrdl, Edrls Thayer, Marguoritte Davenport, Helen Myers, Frank Sigurdson, Mcl vin Holt and Howard Shelton. Miss Clarke was accompanist, as also in the rendition of a song by a Latin class composed of Helen Miller, La Vaun Gardner, Frances Combs, Maxine Arnold, Geraldine Rodgers and Sylvia Bartu. A piano mice oy La Vaun Gardner and Buoy itos tirafka concluded the program. The treasurer reported $5.52 In the treasury.
