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."
