PAMPHLETS ARE ISSUED
MR. CHURCHILL WOULD BRING
HOMES AND SCHOOLS NEARER
Suggestions Are Made for Making
Rural Teacher Healthier, Happier
and More Efficient.
A pamphlet for the help of the par
ent-teacher associations in the rural
and village school and emphasizing
tike need ot closer association ot home
and school, has just been issued by
4. A. Churchill, superintendent 'of
public instruction. Subjects of ex
treme practical value are suggested
by the discussions, including "How
to Make Our School Standard,'
"Play Apparatus," "Pictures for the
School Room," "Construction and
Care of the Buildings on the School
Ground, "Pure Drinking Water,
"The Hot Lunch," and many other
topics pertaining to the betterment of
school conditions.
Iu the introductory letter to the
teachers, Superintendent Churchill
states the purpose of the pamphlet is
to assist in the organization ot par
ent-teacher associations in order to
unite more closely the home and the
school throughout the state. A plan
for formal organization is given and
a form constitution. In the prepara
tion of the material, Superintendent
Churchill was assisted by Prof, M.
Pittman, head of the department of
rural schools, Uregon formal scnool.
and by the president of the Oregon
Congress of Mothers, Mrs. George
W. McMath.
The county school superintendents
of Oriegon have organized hundreds
these associations during the past few
years, and there has been an urgent
demand for lrsts or suitable topics
discussions, the object of which is to
make these meetings a power tor good
in the respective communities. One
of the most suggestive articles in the
publication gives a number of rules,
which it followed, ore expected to
make the rural school a desirable
place both for children and the teach
eis. lue subject ot tne suggestions
is "Some Things You Can Do to
Make Your Teacher Happy, Healthy
ana Efficient."
The Btia'gestions follow:
1. Haw a committee meet her on
her arrival in the district or at the
railroad station.
2. See .that she has the best place.
posible at which to live while in the
district.
3. Give a reception for her and
see that sire meets all patrons of the
school.
Invite her to your home at least
once during the year.
o. Do not expect the teacher to-pre-
pare all of the programs for the meet
ings of the association. Her work is
heavy enough now.
0. VVlien her control seems not to
be good, remember that she has many
to direct, you nave only a few.
7. When you have a complaint
go to the teacher in the right spirit
and discuss it. Do not talk to others
to the detriment of the school and
the teacher.
8. Show your appreciation of the
work of the teacher in some definite
way at the close of the year. Send
her away for the summer happy and
thinking you are the best people in
tihe world.
NEXT GAME IS AT LEBANON.
High School Football Team May Have
Special Tram Thursday.
The high school football team goes
up against the Lebanon team on
Thanksgiving day, and it will truly
be a Thanksgiving if they come home
with even a small slice of the bacon.
On Wednesday the coaches called for
recruits to practice against the regu
lar team and at the time set a full
team of "has beens" was on the
field. Presently two lone regulars
showed up, and half an hour later,
when the volunteer opponents were
gone, the remainder ot the high
school team gathered itself together
one by one. bo it will not be prac
tice that wins for Dallas on the Leo
anon gridiron on Thursday; it will
be pure and simple fight, and from
the splendid exhibition of fight here
last Saturday it is evident that both
Dallas and Lebanon have a reasonable
quantity of that valuable quality. The
lineup in the Turkey day festival will
be nearly the same as that which op
posed Lebanon here last Saturday, al
though a last minute change may be
made in the backfield by the coaches.
A number of new plays have been
mapped out by Coaches Rudder and
French, with the assistance of Mr.
Chenoweth of the high school facul
ty, and these may be a great help in
turning the tide toward a Dallas vic
tory. Enough students and townspeople
have said that they would attend the
game at Lebanon that the athletic
association of the high school has
chartered a special train to leave
here Thursday morning and return
the same evening immediately after
"the contest. By popular subscription
among the business men enough mon
ey was' collected to take the band on
the trip and twenty-two members of
that organization will make pleasant
entertainment for the excursionists.
It is without a doubt that the contest
will be well worth seeing and the
boys hope that a large eiowd will
make the "trip from here.
Siletx Company Develop.
That the Siletz Lumber ft Logging
company contemplates development at
Independence seems to be indicated I
by the fact that the city council of
Independence granted the company a
twenty-five year franchise to improve
Ash creek so that it may be made
navigable to logs and water craft.
This franchise includes the right to
improve the creek across several
streets and through the city park and
to construct a dam in the creek.
