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. Ws

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.
