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.
MOLALLA VOLUNTEERS
NAME WALLACE CHIEF
Molalla The Molalla volunteer
firemen held their annual election
of officers this week, resulting as
follows: E. R. Wallace, chief; Ches
ter Granquist, assistant; Norman
Granquist, senior captain; George
Emmcret, junior captain; J. J. Wal
ler, hose foreman, and Howard Sly
ter. secretary-treasurer.
For a number of years this com
pany has been In existence. In
1921 the business of providing a fire
protection for the town was taken
up in earnest with a new organi
zation formed with L. E. Master
ton as chief. Having no fire fight
ing apparatus, Uie volunteers took
hold of the matter and spent near
ly $15,000 in providing a modern
truck, hose and other equipment,
with none of the expenses raised
by taxation. Except for a small
donation of merchants at the be
ginning, the entire amount has been
raised by presenting the annual
Buckcroo and from receipts from
dances. The department has been
kept in a high state of efficiency.
Haycsvillc William Powers is
spending this week-end at his home
here. He Is n teacher at Gates.
