-i AVAILAIXE IP WANTED ma Requirement is Fifteen or . -e Stwtent iwr C1m and State V.J Fay Half Teachers' Salaries. , Considerable misunderstanding has , prevailed in reference to the an nonreemont made ome weeks ago in reference to the opportunity thft dis . trsrt nas to install the courses under ,tne imiUi-Hughes Law in the high school. " Just how this misunderstanding: rose nas not Deen roily made plain to the Times, hut as nearly as we can determine, certain persons took it ; for granted that additional teachers would mean ' additional expense and ..;.! proceeded to air their views that it is not wise to incur an extra expense ; this year, without ascertaining the uicis oi tne matter. ' Now the fact of the matter is that not only the local school authorities, but the. state and national school offi cials as well, recognize the Smith - Hughes law as an educational cxperi " ment and have specifically provided if ugaiiui uj uuuiuonui expense to tne ; localities putting in the work, . . ' , A state and federal plan has thus a. been provided whereby onehalf of all salaries paid to teachers in this work , are paid by the state and federal fund , and local taxpayers are relieved of this burden. Takeour own district for instance. Present expenditures for teachers' salaries in the high school aggregate aiiiu-inuiuaieiy $ouu per year and there is no direct financial return to , the district for this expenditure. If ) the bmith-Hughes law were put in ef fect here this 'expenditure would be - increased to about WHlt). Of this sum tne state and federal funds would PAY approximately $2,500, The class m printing would produce Hvuring its first year not less' than ;r i,uw worm or salable printing. The value oi agricultural products pro . V duced would depend entirely upon the proportion of students conducting the - i leased by the district, but it would not ' be anegligible quantity in these days oi jugn-priceo foodstuffs. This sum , would increase materially from year : io year as tne classes gain in pron , ciency in their several lines. i From the students reuding outside the . district the local disrict receives its cost per student .from the high f school funds. From the necessary list of 45 students required to install , the proposed courses, it is safe to as- sume that not less tfean one-half will be students from outside this district i who would be attracted here by these , courses ana wno would not otherwise attend this school. The cost per pu- pil will undoubtedly be at least $100 per year tne coming season. a gianoe at even tnese conserva tive figures shows that it .would re quire but a few dollars of agricultur ! al products to offset the cost of the added courses.-". The Times has no axe to grind in this matter. ; Nor ha the publisher anything to gain by it from Ids con- nmoa mm tne acnooi system, other ; man aaaea woric ana responsibility. ': But we do not like to see a forward " movement to educational lines die of W inanition and neglect through misrep ( resentatioh and lack of publicity; tj hence this, et-jination:!,; There is at tne present "tune, and probablv will ' be at the opening of school, sufficient oi tne state ana federal funds, remain ing unappropriated to permit this dis ,1 tnct to participate in its distrbution. I while the putting hi of the work will . necessarily, rmniire some preparation, " ; the first .of fejften&er is better than not at all and it is not yet too late xor students to enroll for these cour ses if they are desired. Highway Work fa Progressing. , Good progres has been made the past week on the Pacific Highway, despite the difficulties of 'getting ma terial and the low water supply. ; Hu ber was reached yesterday and the crews have established several new recoras, iaymg ever 1,100 feet on several different days, the best record being 1,135 feet for the two shifts.
