Joy was In charge of The County Unit System At the June election, there will be submitted to the people of Jackson county a measure effecting , the school of the county—for their acceptance or rejection. This measure, known as the county unit* system, provides for the- shifting of administrative control from the district to the County. Under a state law in Oregon, a county may—if the electors dispose to approve the plan—organize itself on the same basis as a city school system. This means a central board is nainetj to assume admini- srative control—such as the city school board—that a head, such as the city superintendent, is named— and schools are unitized and systematized in such a manner that all share equally the benefits to be derived. Under the county unit system the local boards of the various districts are maintained—with the power of rejecting any teacher appointed h y i h e county board—and also to serve in an advisory capa­ city regarding the needs of local communities. The desirablity of such a unitized system is evident. « Imagine a city school system without union. Imagine each grade and high school in the city ad­ ministered to by an individual group of three men, whose maiM qualification for office may be that they live within the perseribed limit of the school district. Imagine moving from one district to another, and placing your children where standards of efficiency may be altogether extreme. k Oregon and Jackson county pride themselves in giving educational advantages to all—but it irf most desirable that those educational opportunities be equal—that because a child lives in a school district »where the struggle for existence of its educational institution—that child need not be deprived of ad­ vantages of an efficient educational opportunity. The material loss which mi£ht result to one school district and benefit another in the mitîàT pool­ ing of funds and unitization and systemizing of the w ork rifou IJlreforgotten in th e desire of every friend of education to see the best possible and most efficient results from our educationel system.
