Jt &&&&&&& View of Bishop Scott school and Salvation Army boy being taught orchard work at Lytton school. One of the big phases of the work the Salvation Army is doing in Oregon to prevent the Ills of wrong learning and poverty and to strike at (he root of the d';spVr and grief found in the cities, is the training and care of dependent boys and girls. One of the Items of the buiit;et to be raised for the Salvation Army work In Oregon provides for the purchase of the Jllidjup Scott school at North Yamhill an an Industrial and agricultural school whore jjeglected kiddies will be educated and made efficient workers so that hnn they go out into the world they will be an asset to society and not a chargu npun the communities of which they will be members. The luou acre farm lias a walnut grove and other orchards, and, under proper care of agricultural eiperta who will teach the boys, its productivity will go far UiD'ard making the school self supporting. The school is in no sense to be a ptna! ur reformatory Inanition but on the other hand it is intended to provide sound vocational education for youngsters v. lio. without it, are or the road to bad citizenship. That the people of Oregon are keenly interested In the passage of the hill which provides for a tiwo mill tax levy for the support and maln tepance of the elementary schools of the state is attested by hundreds of organizations that have given It un animous endorsement and the hun dreds of people who are devoting their time to the furtherance of its success. Mrs. Alexander Thompson. Ore gon'a only woman legislator, who is the author of the bill, Bays in speak ing of it: "There Is a shortage of 140.000 school teachers in the coun try and of this number Oregon has her full quota, our shortage being 50f), A total of 230 school rooms fir locked and bolted because there liri? no teachers; 4600 Oregon child ren lack school facilities, and unless there is relief by th rating of this measure the number will ba doubled next year. The number of teachers leaving Oregon schools to go Into other professions has more than doubled during the era of the high cost of living. The increase In liv ing costs during the period are esti mated at from 88 per cent to 94 per cent. Teachers salaries have in creased less than 25 per cent. Nor ma) schools and teucher training schools show a decrease In attend ance of 30 per cent." "In western Oregon there are many so-called poverty districts, 96B 'which have an annual school rev enue of Ipss than $800. Lane county bus 124 such districts; Marion, f3; Washington, 4 4; Douglas, 85: Lin coln, 41 and even urban Multnomah has nine such districts. Where popu lation or taxable wealth Is scant it is with difficulty that schools are sup ported. In these districts the rate of taxation is very high, some of them valuing education enough to tax themselves us high as 50 mills. In other districts less public spirited schools are either closed or are pre sided over by totally incompetent teachers. In 31 counties of Oregon there are 2204 rural teachers who for this year'i school work are drawing an average wage of $734.22. Of this number 902 draw less than $700 a year and 641 drulw only $600 a year, the minimum lawful wage for eight months of school work. Of 965 rur al ml itlutrlctH 448 have a total revenue of less than $800, the aver-! ugo being $598 or insufficient to pay the $600 minimum wage for one tea cher for each district.. These are pro-war salaries and low ones at that. Jt Is impossible to live on them now. Washington contributes $34 per census child to the education of her children; Oregon contributes $11.83. Both Washington and California pay better salaries than Oregon, Hence the desirable teachers are being call ed out of the state. The hvar taught ub a great lesson concerning illiter acy and un-Amorlcanlsm. Twenty four and nine-tenths per cent of our soldiers could not road or write. Bol shevism and ignorance can only be counteracted by a good publlo school system. The foundations of a democ racy rest upon an Intelligent citizen ship. Your vote In the Elementary Kdueutlouul Bill is a test of your cit izenship. "The whole aim of the bill Is equal ization and every county receives back every cent that they pay into the fund. There is now more than $42,000,000 worth of property in Oregon which escapes taxation for the support of tho elementary schools be- cause It 1b outside of any school dls-1 trlct. If this measure Is passed this property will be compelled to boar its i share and more than $80,000 twill I thus be added to the resources of the jscliotils." "Oregon In now one of only seven 'stutes In the Union which levy no state tax for elementary schools. Qo to the polls May 2 and vote 314 Yes and urge your friends and neighbors jto do likewise and thus help to put Oregon at the top educationally as ! she already is In so many respects." J legion Head Points Out Urgent Xeed For Soldiers. In a telegram to Ralph E. Crego of this city, state commander W. B. Fol lett of the American Legion points out the urgent need of passnlg the soldiers' and sailors' aid bill. The telegram said: "Ballot soldiers' ed ucational aid bill title 312 must be given favorable publicity. Over four thousand soldiers receiving aid.
