Public S ch ool M illa g e T a x
While pressing the needs of
the higher educational institu
tions, the News is not unmindful
o f another imperative need that
o f t h e public school teachers.
Unless these a r e better paid
there will be not only an alarm
ing shortage o f teachers, but
those who remain in the profes
sion will be o f the poorest quality.
An opponent o f the measure in
writing io one o f the Portland
papers, claimed t h a t teachers
were well paid for the number o f
school hours, but a capable teach
er puts in preparation and study
as many hours out o f school if
not more, than those in school.
Then during the vacation at
tendance at some summer school
is generally compulsory if effic
iency is to be maintained. Good
teachers car.not be had in the
long run, unless good salaries are
paid, as a starved teacher has
no life in him, and soon degen
erates into a mere automaton,
incapable o f imparting either
knowledge or enthusiasm to his
pupils.
An insane man shot and killed
a vestryman o f St. George’s
Episcopal Church in New York
City, last Sunday morning, while
the latter was helping take up
the offerings.
The murderer
was apprehended and in his grip
w-ere found several pamphlets o f
1. W. W literature. If a man is
weak minded a dose of such
reading will soon upset his bal
ance. It is trying enough for a
perfectly sane man, as its ten
dency is to excite and inflame
passion by lurid descriptions o f
w rongs supi>osed to be suffered
by the toiling millions at the
hands o f the bloated capitalists.
Ther° was a remarkably fatal
epidemie among grandmothers
this week in Portland, and yes
terday the undertakers were
taxed to their limit. It was co
incident that the baseball season
opened on that day.
The denim brigade evidently
met with defeat in Portland, in
its offensive against the H. C. L.
It could not muster suthvent re
serves.
Supporters o f the legislative
bill to be before the voters at
the state election, May 21st. pro
viding for the levying o f one
sixth o f one mill for the purpose
o f erecting and equiping an in
dustrial and employment institu
tion in Oregon for the blind, are
finding that the bill is meeting
with general favor throughout
the state, because o f its practic
ability.
If this bill is approved it will
provide the means whereby the
blind o f Oregon may drop their
dépendance on charity. Provis
ion is made in the bill for the
levying of one twenty-fifth o f
a mill in 1921 and each year
thereafter for maintaining the
institution, which will at all times
be operated under the direction
o f the state Board o f Control.

President Campbell o f the Uni
versity of Oregon, writes con
cerning the editorial o f last week
on the Educational bills: “ The
editorial is a c a p i t a l one,
thoroughly sound and direct to
the point. It cannot fail to help
greatly in assuring votes for the
bills. We are much indebted to
you, as we are extremely anxious
that there will be a favorable
vote in Clackamas County. The
crisis is so acute that we do not
know in which direction to turn
in case the bill fails to pass.
The students, who are keenly
aware o f the situation, are doing
everything in their power to help
the measure.”
