It Is tht question of tbt undermost
aa eaalnst tha uppermost, property
values over banian valuei," laid M.
H. Marvin, a mamtwr of tae Washing
ton State Industrial Welfare Commie
slao, who mad a plea at the Portland
hotel recently before tha Portland
Ministerial aaaoclatton (or the suta
two-mill elementary school measure,
which Is to be voted upon Majr 21 at
Ike primary. Ha continued:
"The church has made mistakes, but
this Is on place where the church
must not err. Tou muit t behind
this measure so that the child of the
poor man can have bis or her deserved
opportunity la Ufa. Oregon Is face to
face with a orlals In Its educational
system, that, l( not met, will put It
back toward the dark ages Insltad
of In tha llgbt of tha twentieth century
which It ahould hold. It Is one of
seven slstas which still holds to tha
antiquated Idea if district school tai
atlon plan. It must get out of the
rut In which It finds Itself today and
place herself, elonmlde the other 39
or forty states and make the tax for
Its achoole equal throughout the state,
i "Washington today pays per year
30 for the education of each child
within Ita boundaries 1 am told you
In Oregon pay toward this great work
for the voter of the future only I11.8S.
It Is time for a change and I, from
your sister state, urge you to announce
from your pulpits, from the housetops
tf you pleaae, the ' benefits of this
measure, and I hop It will be Toted
la by a big majority."
Rev. W. T. McBlveen of the Flral
Congregational church of Portland,
also made a strong plea for tie meas
ure and declared that It was not only
a problem for Oregon to solve, but
"a national one, to handle this situs,
tloa which Oregon now faes, namely
tha eduoatlon of the Ullteate, ol
which there are today In the United
States, i millions," said Dr. afc
Blvn. "tabor counts on the church lo tbls
erlsls," said the speaker, "Oregon la
behind the times In her educational
system and every 'tightwad' cltlseo In
Oregon Is to blame for this situation
which wa now must face at tie polls
on May il.
"Do you know how Boston Tech
bandies her students? They have one
teacher to every six students. Oregon
kas one teacher to every (. How's
that for a contrail? Isn't It about
time you and I went to the polls and
voted for something new In this state?
I think so."
Mrs. Alexander Thompson and Mrs.
B. M. Blumauer also made atrlklnc
addresses to the ministers on this
measure, being followed by President
Campbell of the University of Oregon,
who pointed out the necessity of aid
ing the elementary schools, that the
higher educational Institutions would
hate's basla cn which. to work, a
groundwork on which to build the citl'

The ministers endorsed the measure
unanimously.

dollar property damage, the "Lon

any other Company operating under
a single name, in this or any other
Conflagration. This Record stands
without a parallel in the history of
Insurance. ;

One Hundred Schools Closed
In Oregon Last Year Due
to Teacher Shortage.
Every community needs teachers.
In every locality are many persons who
would majie good teachers but who do
not enter the profession.
Also In every community there are
teachers who are planning to leave
and go elaewbera to teach or to enter
other professions. Why? . Salary
partly, but mostly because the teacher
like the prophet, la without honor In
his own country.
Making tha home schools safe tor
home talent will help to solve the
teacher ehortage. There must be good
salaries, of course. Teachers teach
because they need money. There must
also be sane protection against tha
spoils systnm. It Is an old story In
many communities for a new super
lntendent and kts assistant to find Jobs
tor their friends at the expense of local
teachers, or to belittle them sp that
thoy must resign la self-respect
Does the community know about It
or do anything about It? Do the
patrons ot each school know the m
terlal ot the teaching force? If they
have an up-to-date, accomplished, gift
ed teacher, will they encourage her
with salary lnoreases and back her
against unfair discrimination?
How many good teachers have left
the community, and why? That will
tell the story. How many young peo
ple who would make fine teachers are
doing something else Instead?
Keep the home fires burning until
all the cumbering dross and all the
unfairness ,whlch Is driving home
teaching talent away from home Is
burned up, and then see how rapidly
the teacher shortage becomes a thing
of the past,
Oregon oan remedy her condition by
voting "Yes" for the 2-mlll Elementary
School bill, popularly known aa the
CaUdren'a Bill.
