PROBLEM OF MODERN CITY
Ono of tho marvels of modorn life
is tho rapid growth of tho city.
Tako for cxamplo tho nations mo
tropolis. Now York City, founded in
1014, and while in its first 175 years
it gninod only 33000, yet in tho
period of 21 years just proceeding
1890 it gained" 859,000 or 20 times
its growth in the carliorlong period.
In 1880 thero wcro in iho U. S,
29C cities of 8000 or more, but every
decade is now adding hundreds of
such cities and lureor oues to tho
list.
Tho above indicates but a local
movement, but ran bo similiarly
traced in Africa nnd Asia as woll as
in Europe.
This growth has been accounted
for by "the -application of machinery
to agriculture, which enables ono
iariuer iiow to do tho work formerly
done bv three or more."
Seeondlv. tho increased domand
for manufactured articles and man
ufacturiug machinery.
Thirdly that the coming of tho
modern ruilwuy has ruude it easy to
biiDg any amount of provisions to
thecitv.
It should be noted however, that
the recent marked development in
railway ond trolley transportation
together with tho rural 'phono has
checked tho tido llowing from the
country to tho city becauso of the
eaBe with which it enables people to
live in tho pure cou ntry atmosphere
and at thu uumo timo enjoy the ad
vantages of tho city.
Whilo this latter fact helps in
some moasuro to bolvo bouio of the
difficult citv problems, in another
respect it adds to the problem, in
that it takes from tho citv, tho citi
zen-Bhip of many of tu . best sup
porters of righteous government.
leaving tho ballot of the city more
largely in the hand of the drift ele
ment.
If ono ot tho modern marvels is the
growth of the city, surely one of the
modern problems is the government
of tho citv nnd its relation to tho
rural populations. k
Locai self government furnished
scope for tho cicrciso of our liberties
but federation is necessary to the
preservation of them.
At one time tho question was,
whether the national government or
tho individual slates should bo bu
preme; it is now rapidly becoming
question whether tho nation shall
govern the citios or tho cities dictate
terms to tho gonernl government,
It is an acknowledged fact that
wo hose not yet learned how to livo
togotlior in , tho co-operative city
giving free scopo for individual pur
suits, and at the sarao timo holding
in cheek tho loss.
Thero are low cities or oven
largor towns but which havo a ina
jority in favor of upholding tho law
nnd niding in just cooperation for
the good of nil; yet n sample of how

HIGH SCHOOL TROUBLE
It is understood that the suit
brought by Wlllinm Laniloas, cnjoln
Iinr the payment of the salaries of
school teachers abovetheelfihtKrnde,
U for the purpose of establishing the
legal stntus of the Cottngo Orove
High School, of this place, that Is to
ascertain whether or not Cottage
Grove has a legally constituted High
School under tho law.
The governing district of this class
In regard to teaching higher brunches
or grades than tho Klght Grade Is
found la the General Session Laws of
1001. nnd lsi8 follows: "When one
third of the legal voter) ot a district
shall petition the District Hoard re
questing that the grades above the
eighth grade mny te taught In such
district, or when tho District Itonrd
shall at Its discretion think proper.
It shall give twenty dnys notice pre
vious to the annual school meeting,
or previous speclnl election called for
that purpose, that It will submit the
question or the legal voters of said
district, whether grades above the
right grade shall lie taught In such
llstrlct, at which election the electors
of the district shall vote by ballot for
or against establishing such grades.
Anil It n. mnlorltv of nil the votes
cast shall lie la favor of establishing
such grades It shall be the duty of
the district board to establish such
grades and determine what brunches
shall lie taught therein. (Session
Laws 1901, p. -tit. Sec'-H).) The said
law of 1901 repeals all laws and parts
of laws In conflict therewith. Prior
to the year l!Hll there was no especial
authority for teaching higher
branches than those taught In the
eighth grade. It Is stilted the re
cords of the'School Hoard Is silent
as to the establishing of such blgliur
grades than the eighth grnde, but It
seems that teachers In higher branches
than the eighth grade huve been em
ployed and paid out of tho School
funds since 1S03.
It Is Important to the Hoard or
Directors its a protection to them
selves that the tenchlng o! higher
branches bo authorized as by law
provided, In this, if there Is no author
ity ror teaclilugtliosuhlglierbruiiclies
the directors have no authority to
hlro teachers for that purpose, nor
to use the public school fund In pay
ment for such services. The Direc
tors seem to have assumed that' tho
tenchlng of higher branche.f orgrades
above the eighth grade have Ih-cii
duly authorized.
It Is very natural that a newly el
lectcil director should rely on the
methods In vogue at thelnstanco of
the older directors and It seems that
the board has been assuming that
this authority existed for soveral
years and since no question has been
heretofore raised In regard thereto, It
would therefore bo very embarras
sing to a new mcmlierof the board
placing such reliance on the Judge
ment of the older members of tho
board to find that he was personal
ly liable on Illegal contracts which he
had supposed he was entering Into
on the part of the district and for
which he expected tho district to
pay. "Itany contract be made with
out authority tho member making
tho same shall bo personally liable."
(General Laws of 1!X)1.) Therefore If
thorc Is no authority for onterlng In
to contracts with teachers to tench
higher grade? than tho elghth.lt Is
highly essential that any person lie
Ing elected to tho olllco of director
should know to what extent his au
thority extends lu tho matter of tho
employment of teachers.
It Is also essential that tho status
of thu school district lie ascertained
that tho teachers' bo protected In
their contracts, In this, tho board of
directors assuming such nujliorlty
and power to employ teachers to
teach In grades abovo tho eighth,
hold out to tho teachers and to the
world that a high school I regularlly
established, and the teacher eon
tracts with them with Unit under
standing. If the board hnve assumed, with
out having such authority In fnct,
nnd It 1kcoiui's iierosary for the
teacher tosuo for the salary under
tho contract, the caso would perhaps
l thrown out ot court tor tho reason
that It iuivli5rt apiswrs In the rec
ords of the school district that the
board ot directors hitd ever boon an-
thorltod as by l.iw tvqulred to enter
Into the contract for the teaching ot
any grades higher than the eighth.
In which euoo tu teacher would u
compelled to resort to an action
ngnlust tho members ot tho board as
Individuals tor recovery umii tho il
legal contract.
It Is highly Inqvortant to tho School
District, Hoard of Directors, legal
voters, patrons ol the school nn l tho
tenchers therein, that if anv doubt
exists, that tho status ol the high
school ot this district and tho right to
employ teachers In tho higher grades
Is In doubt, that tho matter should
lie settled by some court having com
netent Jurisdiction, and that all
doubts on tho subject ;Iki removed,
nnd If It shall then 1h determined
that the contention of tho board of
directors lu regard thereto Is tenable,
no harm has lieon done, and If It Is
not, stops ean Ih taken to lognlln
any nnd all, subsequent act of tho
board of directors by vote ol me
district cnlled for that purpose.
It need not ls assumed that any
Dorsou connected with this affair Is
opposed to higher education, but It Is
not only tho province, but duty ot
some person, II doubts dn oxWt, to
have tho mutter ndjuentod and wi
lled for all time, since It will afford
protection to the board nt director
nnd tenchers engaged in teaching In
nld higher grades and lollevo any
and all contracts made anil entered
Into with teachers from any doubt.
It Cottage drove has no legally
constituted and authorised high
school. It Is high timo she had ono

HCHNT Attempts have been
made to inttoduce Jnpniicsa
Inborcts into Mexico nnd also into
the notthern portion ol lltiiish Col
umbia. In the former instance
many of the Japanese quit nnd re
fused to go on with the work for
which they were imported. In
llritisli Colnmbia the strenuous op
position of white miners resulted in
the nttcmpt not being carried to a
conclusion In California tlietc arc
n large uutnber of Chinese engaged
in mining, but the gientcr number
ol these nre working individually
for themselves or for Chinese com
panies owning the mines, mostly
placer. To this little objection is
made by the white miners, for the
reason that in most instances the
Chinese work over placer gtound
usually lielievod to be too poor to
pay the white tttcn for their labor.
Although the introduction of
Chinese lnbar into the mines of the
Rand has been successfully accom
plished, owing to the peculiar con
ditions nt present obtaining there,
it is safe to say that any attempt to
similiarly employ Asiatic labor in
the mines of Western America will
be vigorously resisted. Mining and
