COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT GIVES PUNGENT FACTS If Interested in the Welfar of the Public Schools, Write your Rep resentative, Writhw to the school directors and School officials of the County, Coun ty csupermtenaent a. a. float pre sents the following facts which should be of interest to every person in the county interested in education and the conduct of our schools: There are about 130 schools in Oregon which have not been able to secure teachers this year. There are about 326 teachers in Oregon who are filling positions tem porarily but are not up to the stand ard required by law. Graduation Trom Normal and training schools has fallen off 30 in three years in average reports from 35 states. Washington County is most favor ably situated to get teachers being near Portland, still it has required the utmost efforts of school boards and County Superintendent to keep the positions filled and some usually on the waiting list. This comes at a time when there is an unusual demand for a higher grade of teaching: in the fundamen tals and in citizenship. There is one cause for this and on-! ly one, insufficient salaries for! teachers. In spite of the $76 min- j imum salary law passed last year the I SCEOILS JELEPCOXE CO.

Sm. advance was only about 16 Techers are leaving the profession to start in new jobs for which they are not especially trained but at a higher salary. A Normal trained teacher just resigned a position in this coun ty, where she started at $60 three years ago and had only" been raised to idu. fine started in at xiuu in an office where it ' will take some months training to lean the work and will then get more pay if she is successful. A kitehei. girl in a lumber camp in Washington County is getting more pay than the teach er of the school. There is an even Worse phase of this question than the closing of schools and that is the unrest, dissat ifaction and even resentment and bit terness in some cases, among those who have become tied to teaching as a profession and are not situated so they can turn to anything else. This is hot a time when we can trust the training of our children to teachers who are in that frame of mind. There is no greater emergency be fore the special session of the Ore gon Legislature than the educational emergency. School boards have been hampered by lack of funds. They would be glad to pay more but many of the districts have gone the limit and still are too poor to vaise the salaries. i I want to ask you to support two bills which will be proposed. One is a bill to levy a state wide tax of z mills which would raise approximate ly $10 per capita for the school chil dren of the state to be distributed in such a way as to relieve especially the small weak districts. At pres ent we only get from $1.85 to $1.95 per capita irom the state. The other bill is to remove the .6 limitation from applying to educa tional appropriations. ' Both these will be referendum bills to be voted on by the people at the May elections if passed by the Legislature. Since the 'term of office of the County School Superintendent ex pires this year and since the office is open for candidates to file for election in the primaries next May, 1 do not deem it improper to call at tention of those interested in the wel fare of the rural schools to certain conditions. The salary of the School Superin tendent is $100 per month, the same as it was fixed eight years ago. One superintendent has resigned since then to take a better paying portion in the county. There an forty teachers in the county getting a higher monthly sal ary than the Superintendent. Some of the county officers get 50 more than the superintendent of schools and deputies and manly clerical positions (at as much. Washington County i among the wealthiest and most populous coun ties in the state and ranks about third in the amount bf county busi ness. Our county officials' are among the poorest paid as a whole. The salary item altogether is an in significant, item in the county bud get. The cost of raising one county official's salary $600 would cost the, man Having an assessment ox seuvu the price of only one 10c cigar. The State legislature Bets the sal aries of the county officials and will do it as recommended by uie delega tion from the county concerned. How will our Representative! know how the people feel about these tilings unless somebody takes the trouble to express themselves. What is everybody's business is apt to be nobody's business. If the school of ficers cannot spend 10c postage and a little time writing for the interest of the schools, who will do it? Write a short letter to each of the following telling them what you think of a two mill state wide tax for the common schools and remov ing the 6 limitation on tax levies for schools, and raising the county superintendent's salary to equal any of the other county officers .
