Big Increase in Corvallis'
Enumeration. ..
The enumeration of all chil
dren of school age in Cor
vallis, known as school district
No. 9, has just been completed
by W. A. Buchanan. All chil
dren in the district prior to Nov.
25th were included in the list
and shows an enrollment of
1,028 making an increase over
last year of 9 per cent. State
School Superintendent Acker
man ruled that those over 20
years of age should not be placed i
on the list wiach would have
added 40 more. The school
board has carefully considered
the current expenses for the en
suing year and deem it neces-;
sary to ask the people , for a levy
of 7 mills and notices of a school
meeting have been posted, to be
held at the court house on Dec.
22d, at 2 o'clock, to , vote on the
proposition. This is a question
of vital importance to our citi
zens and we hope to see our peo
ple show the interest they take
in the education of theirchildren
by voting sufficient funds. , Cor
vallis has the reputation of be
ing an educational center and to
handicap the public schools
with short rations would give us
a black eye when we go before
the legislature next winter ask
ing liberal appropriations for O.
A. C. It makes us tired to see
only forty or fifty votes : cast on
a tax levy or the election of a
school director as has been done
in the past. Wake up and'help
everything that has a tendency
to help the children in the battle
of life. There is nothing better
than a good education.
