In Very Good Condition
By IXNA JAEU. MIT'RTE.
Parinf tht last fciei.iv. urn, tiotvith
trni ng hw tu burden nd crop
fhi nrc. our w.ioolfi have nhowrt ft
tetfer;cr for fcMtfnm-nt of U edu
CMtona' fanhties.
In torrpr:.p the pat two years
ll i. th pr. ced.ng two years and
baMrf our firidtrtpi on th diburf
mrrli for elementary schools ard
the number of children In Hendanre
v ir6 a decrease of $29.00 rer pupil
in cont of maintenance. This, ho
cwr did not in thj lrat cause a re
duction in efficiency.
In onmt diftnets aalariet were low
errrd, .n others raijird. 90 that the av
erage alary paid teachers in our one
rm.m rural ohool shows an increase
of $4.56 per teacher. All teacher?
en ployed were certified before the
opening of school bo that temporary
certificates were not prantd. School
boards were more careful in the se
lection of their teachers and witn
but few exceptions pupils passed
their examinations successfully.
A new school district was formed
last fall comprising 63 H sections,
valuation $397,030, census IS. This
district has not built a schoolhouse
yet, Pcpils are attending the Hepp
nr achool. In place of furnishing
transportation the pupils' board will
be paid by the district.
At Alpine, District No. 27, a hiph
school was orpanixed. The require
ments for a standard four year school
have been met and they are waiting
for the State Department to declaie
it a standard school. This will make
seven standard high schools and one
union high school which is also a
four year standard school.
Wa feel proud of the fact that
lleppner High was recognid by the
Northwest Association last spring,
making the 28th high school in the
state to meet its standard.
The Alpine school district was
bonded for $10,000. A two-room
building with basement has been
erected, one room will be used for
high school and one for the grade.
Part of the funds were used for
equipment, part for water and part
for converting the old building into
a teacherage.
District No. 22, Idea, purchased
lumber this week to build a new
school house. There has been no
school in this district for . several
years.
District No. 35, lone, will in about
five week complete the erection of
a building containing eight recita
tion rooms besides a basement. Con
nected to the building and made a
part thereof will be an auditorium
and gymnasium combined. Cost about
$43,600.
Barns to sheter the horses were
buit in three districts. Improvements
have been made in a number of dis
ticts, such as painting, remodeling.
e'eaning. etc. A well was bored in
District No. 23, also one in District
No. 61. In three other districts cis
terns were built and filled with water
a few days before the opening of
school.
Boys' and CirV Club Work is not
at strong as 1 would like to have it
If it were possible to have a club
leader in each district after school
closes in the spring, or if we could
have a county club leader during the
vacation period results would be sat
isfactory. Boys and girls are enthu
siastic at the beginning of the school
term, but with no county fair and no
competent leaders throughout the
county, there is little incentive. Cred
it must be given our County Agent,
Mr. R. W. Morse, and Mr. R. B. Wil
cox for the effort made in this work
and for ita successful completion.
We lament the losa of our county
nurse. Neither the Red Cross nor
the county were in position to finance
the work longer hence we have been
without since November, 1923.
For several years we have been
UH' in O. S. T. A. membership and
we feel that we can contiue to be so.
We have a County Division of the O.
S. T. A. All the teachers in the coun
ty have been members of this divis
ion and we think this coming year will
be no exception.
For three years we have had a
Reading Circle Library in the county.
These books are loaned to the teach
ers free of charge.
Three local institutes were substi
tuted for the annual institute, the
first ore being in session at Heppner.
Schaol boards gave their teachers one
Fiuiay in October to attend. The
Otis Intelligence Test was given to
every teacher and later to every pu
pil attending school. The Hedrick
Hopper Test in Oregon History was
given to all eighth grade pupils, and
before school all pupils were given
the Woody-McCall Arithmetic Test
and the Monroe Reading Test.
The two other institutes were held
one at lone and the other at Board
man. The County Cnit Plan was the
mam topic at lone Our State Super-!
intendent, J. A. Churchill, was with
us at Board man which was most grat
ifying to the teachers present.
The County Unit Plan was placed
on the ballot at the time of the Pri
mary election, but failed to pass. We
feel, however, that the people will
try to leant more about the system
and perhaps in time will reahxe its
benefits.
The outlook for this year is very
encouraging. With a splendid corps
of teachers, with an awakened inter
est in the members of school boards,
the tax payers and patrons, we feel
that the schools are fitting into the
needs of the communities and we are
sure the year will be a successful as
well s a prosperous one.
for the da nee here next Saturday. The
new hardwood floor in the Odd Fel
lows hall will be used. The Hardmaa
orchestra will furnish the music.
The Odd Fellows had a banquet and
dance her last Saturday night.
The high school ia planning a big
Hallowe'ea carnival for November 1st.
A minstrel show will be one of the
main feat urea.
