Corrects Few Inacuracies
Editor Randon Recorder: Will you
kindly grant me space in your paper
to rectify a few slight inacuracies in
last week's issue, and also to make n
itatement in justification of the posi
tion which those of us held
who desired retrenchment in the man -
.gementof school expenses? The first
t A A. f n,inh mi.
mncuracy rciers io l-usl u. ,.u-,
pil to the district. My statement at;
the school meeting limited my
t a il . J 1. 1 1 ... In l7.
manes 10 me ii.gn sc.oo.
have, some eighty pupils in the high
school. The high school teachers sal
ines and the fair proportion of school
expenses for maintaining the higli
school will exceed eight thousand dol
lars. Or about one hundred dollars
per pupil. This, to me, appears exces
sive. One teacher less could easily
handle the number of pupils, especial
ly if the high school teachers were
teaching the full six hours per day of
each school day instead of four and
three quarters hours as they now do.
County Supt. Raker informs me
that no where, outside of Coos coun
ty land Portland, does this system
generaly prevail. The salaries of the
high school teachers too, have been
raised considerably by the present!
board yet we always had excellent
teachers and stacks of applicants for
positions at $7fi to $85 per month in
former years.
The reference to tho library ex
pense was simply a suggestion in pas
sing, that as we had a public library,
supported by tax, the school library
ixpense might be reduced to $50 per
year or fie sum absolutely needed to
secure necessary books.
The item of clerk's salary too, was
u small matter. Mrs. Kausrud retract
ed her assertion that I had made the
motion to increase the salary to $250
per year, because she remembered
that I was chairman two years ago,
and of course, made no motions; but
only presided. However, I did consent
to that sum for one year, because we
built tho cast side school house at an
expense of $17,000 and that added a
great deal to the work of tho clerk. A
former member of the board informs
mo that we paid thee lerk $175 three
years ago. Rut that year wo. spent
$11,000 to finish the upper floor of the
high school building and that too, add
ed considerably to the clerk's work,
In so far as my statement at the
meeting was in error to the extent of
$25. Rut no one ever thought on con
tinuing tho salary at $250 in ordinary
years, because the work is not worth
it.
Rut the real point of the argument
is not in these small items. It is in
the general expenses outside of tho
salaries of teachers and janitors, in
surance, fuel, lower, and interest.
There nro in tiie present budget,
two items for $800, one for $1,000,
one for $500, one for $352 and several
smaller items, altogether totalling
more than $1,000. Now our budget for
all these items in former yer.rs was
$1,200. It is true wo fell short three to
five hundred dollars. Rut the raise
from sixteen or seventeen hundred
dollars to over $1,000, for current ex
penses needs explanation. This raise
and tho raise of $3,000 in touchers
salaries explains largely the present
debt of over $11,000. It is the increase
of five or six thousand dollars in the
past two years, of the running ex
penses of the school, that has put us
n debt. Even the $8,000 duo the school
listrict by the county for back taxes,
would not amount to much had not
the running expenses of the school in
creased so fast. If tho school attend
ance had increased in proportion and
f financial conditions were normal,
tho increased expense would bo justi
fied. Rut the school attendance has
fallen olf and the financial conditions
at prosont nro such that the people
nro not as able as formerly to bear
the increased expense and there is no
mniediiitu prospect for improvement.
Hence, some of us, taking a long look
ahead tried to wnrd off tho breakers
that threaton to overwholm us, by
trimming our sails, (or cutting ex
penses) boforo it is too Into. Several
statements woro made that tho pros
nut large debt is a legacy, handed
down to the prosont school board by
former boards. Rut this is a niUtnkc.

.MUSHROOMS THAT ARE SAFE
HAVE DEFINITE EARMARKS
Popular Tests Commonly Unsafe, Says
Slate U. Expert, Who Tells How To
Avoid Poisonous Fungi.
Tiie old fashioned tests for disting
uishing edible from poisonous toad
stools are fulUof danger according to
Albert R. Swcetser, professor of bo
tany in the University of Oregon.
"There are no universal tests by
which tho good may bo separated from
the bad. The blackening of silver
spoon or the ease of peeling arc no
criteria. The soaking in vinegar or
i.i Eiilt water will not remove the
poison. No dependence is to placed
on odor or taste. Avoid experiment
ation it is too risky.
"There is no reason why any one
should take any chances in selecting
fungi for eating as there are a few
forms with perfectly definite charac
teristics which clearly separate them
from nil olb.es, and these grow in suf
ficient quantities to satisfy the veriest
gourmand. Tho writer nlways acts
in more or less of a fear lest tho col
lector may confuse some in the field
with specimens which were sent for
determination and pronounced good.
He would urge emphatically all mush
room caters to confine themselves to
these definitely differentiated forms
and remain within t'.io safety zonc
"Toadstool poison is of two sorts.
First n simple irritant which makes
its presence speedily known and usu
ally produces prompt emetic actic ac
tion with vomiting. Relief usually
ioiiows tins ejection or llie poison
without more serious results unless
the system be in a debilitated state,
The other forms belong to the clnss
of powerful alkaloids is almost cer
tain death. One of the danger pocul
inr to this sort of poison is that it
makes iself known only nfter the lapse
of several hours with or without vomit
ing, and it is then to late. These al
kaloids arc especially found in the
group of Amanitas which group have
undergrounds cups on the bottom of
their stems. Not nil that have cups
arc deadly but it is the parto f wisdom
r.nd safety to avoid absolutely all that
have a cup or any appcarnco of cup.
It does not follow however that all tho
forms not having-the cup are safe.
Here again the rule applies stick to
your old and proven friends. Among
these Aninnitus or Cup Toads'-ools nro
some of the handsomest and most at
tractive of the fungi and thu most in
nocent appearing of them all line no
Imd flavor but contains a poison for
which no cortain antidote lina yot boon
found.
"Re suro ynu'ro right then go ahead '
says Mr. SwoiUor.

TheN Koos Konimercial Klub was or

is strictly a Coos county body, the
