School Editorial The editorial in this issue of the paper is the first one of a ssrio* on a Forward Looking Education Program for Coquille. The first part of this subject will be dealt with under the rab topic of “Desirable Social and Economic Goals.” Ws have been giving some very intensive study to some of the scientific facts back of the unrest today. This unrest is un dermining many of tho vital factors which our eoantry, homes, and schools have in the past, held aacred. To get behind the outward scenes of everyday life and penetrate ths minds and hearts of our homes is . coming to be one of the greatest re sponsibilities of education. We con sider this a very major portion of school administration, if the voters and citizens of tomorrow are to be given a balanced education. “Civic complacency” .many times has and is hindering progress of our Aation, governmentarfy and educationally. To aroune ourselves and see the sori- ousneas of many problems confront ing our young people is a crying need of the hour. In organizing a Forward Looking Educational Program for the CoquHle schools we are putting it at the very foundation of all those things which have always spoiled success in final analysis and those things which our sons and daughters need to carry with them in their daily Uvea. So ddflnite information to the home of what the school ia doing and a hearty co-operation between home and school from the standpoint of the teacher and the child is the keynote of such a program. In the fees of rapidly changing situations and many reports that are sifting through con cerning the crumbling of ideal« • throughout the notion, it seems very vita) that we discard “civic compla cency" and begin to intelligently analyze the needs and problem« of our children. They are facing strange situations today and many of them are at a definite losa as to the course tn pursue. We must not stint them, we must give them our bent. Let us gather ourselves together and with “malice toward none and charity for all" study the need* of young people of today. We do affirm our faith in democrac' and have a groat deni of confident in its orderly steps for improvement •nd hope that all may he intelligently .guided in any adjustment mads for social and economic change. We have been studying rather carefolly a re- , port just released by a committee of the National Education Association in Washington, D. C. This committee after months of careful investigation and study prefaces its report with a statement of the need for a re-state ment of national real* to be denirod in our program. We have already incor porated many of these in our own lo cal school program to be emphasised in the future. We give them to you now without comment but each read er can readily see h<rw vitally impor tant they aU are to our children.

Resolutions in Favor Sales Tax The follqwing resolution in support of the proposed sale* tax law was adopted by the school board at Myr tle Point recently: “Whereas, Property tax delinquen cy in tho state of Oregon has steadi ly increased for the past several years until at the present time the public schools are not receiving sufficient revenue to continue operation; and "Whereas, the Oregon state legis lature, in special session, enacted into laW a sales tax; and “Whereas, the revenue from this sales tax is to be for the immediate relief of the public schols, and will reduce the general property tax levy required for the local school purposes by an amount equal to the net revenue received from the sales tax; and “Whereas, it will establish tho prin- -iple of taxation other than the. property tax for local purposes, which is deemed absolutely necessary; it will, temporarily, at least, lighten the burden on property owners; it will broaden the base of taxation and will make possible for school districts to continue schools and will aid in equal ising taxes over the entire state. "Therefore, be it resolved. That, in the interests of the boys and girls of the state of Oregon who will be de nied educational opportunities unless definite aid is forthcoming, the Board if Director* of School District No. 41, Coos County, Oregon, go on rec ord a* endorsing this law; and that It does earnestly urge every voter Who has the Interest of public schools at heart to work for and to urge the passage of the sales tax, in the event that it is referred to the people by reierenaum.
