I COSTE REPORTS MOTHER KIDNAPS TEACHERS ASK Transient Woman Alms Seeker Uses Lost Purse As Ruse to Gain Sympathy CURB ONE YEAR CERTIFICATES Institute Hears Resolution Designed to Inaugurate . f Apprenticeship System 1000 Teachers Lacked Jobs Last Year. Prompted hy the fact that ap proximately 10U0 nioro U-aHieiH were IbuI one yinr cnrllflcnicH from H?ptiMnlpr 1 127 to September JtC'S than wt-re pliiced in ponitlonR (I n linn that ynr, the resolutions coin mitten preHented n renlul(on liming tltlH uflornnon'B bohhIoh of the teachers' lnwlliute now held ut the seniur htah Kctxiol which attempts to Holve the pruh li'in. The milHtnndini; reeommenda tion was for Inauguration 0f fl My. tem of apprentice teuchiiiK, to Iie ooinc a part of the certification program for Oregon teachers, the purpose of which ia to contlnuo that portion of the teacher' train ing which can only bo completed In the actual school situation. A two year apprenticeship is to lie peeved, beginning in lU.iz, and me tea i'h era meeting the t-eiiiiiiii t h for further certification anil who continue In the profesHlon are to he grunted regular live yiar cer tificate In the field for which they are qua II fieri. The resolution further recom mended that the salary schedules tdiould provide for a low beginning 1 hHlary and a much higher maxi mum salary, and urged that the present practice of Issuing Iduiiket teachers' certificates- be iiIhiIIhIumI. . Vncqmil nuance? Not only Is the slate uf Oregon Impoverished us to funds used In education, hut unequal distribution In the rural dlnti-lcts, Ih a fact worthy of careful study and Im proved legislation, according to Helen Hcffornan, of Hacramcnlo, chief of rurul divlHlon thruout the state of California, who was the principal speaker during the mor ning session of the teuchui-N' Insti tute ut the senior high school to day. MIku lleffernun showed tho ef fect of dlNlrlct control of the school to be In most cases n luck of finances per capita student, While in some few wealthy Mh ti'iclH, more than sufficient funds were lavished upon the schools housing Miuull student hod I ph. In California, she brought out, a large portion of the money uxed to sup port the schools Is obtained by a levy upon the slate us a whole, which provides for a more eiiual distribution of rcHourccs for edu cation. "When we speak of the country child, we mean 57 percent of the ontlre elementary school enroll ment, taught by U4 per cent of the elementary teachers in 111 pet cent of the elementary schools of this country," said Miss lleffernau, who en iled by suylng that the inltgniiudo. of tho problem Is not generally appreciated, and that the InequulllleH between urban and rural education are not pointed out to prcHeni an uncHcapuhle picture. t.'HVe might speak of tho great problem In rurul education of pro viding economical school units," she said. iust year we made a nurvcy of one rural county and found that the building costs In that county were I BO per cent more than they would have been if the same educational facllltleH had been provided by taxing the whole county as a unit and follow ing the plan of 'pay us you go', rather than passing tho debt on thru bonds." .More than 300 teachers had reg istered ut tho Institute by this morning, represent Ihk pruct 1cm lly every eb nientary and secondary school In the county. After all a person can not be lieve all that la heard or neon, even though evidence Is most con vincing. A gltuation which seemed to have the earmarks of tragedy developed yesterday to be only the well planned tuho of a transient woman to gain help through char ity from place to place, and was exposed through Miss Lillian Rob erts, executlva secretary for tho County Ited Cross chapter. She gave her name as Florence : Heed when she appeared Saturday i afternoon at the office of County Judge. Sparrow, declaring "be had ! lost her purse on a-motor stage I while en route from Oregon City I to California. She- had not dls-1 'covered her loss, .she, mild .until ; she arrived In Medfordt alone und friend Icfh. I What am I to do?" she said: plaintively In tho lobby of tho judge's office, the judge not being j present at the time. "The purse contained all the money I owned j In the world. The stngo driver helped search all through the stage but the piirne Ih gone and now I a mi helpless, unable to work or earn a dime," or words to tbnl. effect. The woman hud a knack In tell ing her story and kept her fingers j drumming Incessantly on the table, j She Indicated weariness in her j speech and left the Impression she 1 would be the Ideal type for a grandmother role In a heart throb bing moving picture. Her clothes were tho worse for wear and her hair showed snow white, as It slipped from under tho protec tion of a shabby hat. The woman who appeared nt least 70 years of age, declared she had no children and no kin on whom to rely during her declining years. She was referred to the county Red Cross chapter and It then developed that Mrs. Jteed was uj visitor In Med ford last April under similar circuinstunc.es.'' She had lost her purse that time, but under a different name, said Miss Rob erts yesterday,, if Mrs. llalley, old time Medfordt resident, said she believed t lie 'same woman had been In nnd through Medford nu merous t lines during tho lust ,20 years, and during that time hud lost her purse on several oma sfons. Th old woman, who was such ah object of pityt declares she Is only fit!, and according W the Red Cross chapter, has dill-1 dren who are able In take care of her, but. the wanderlust seems j to have clung to her. This case was pointed out as one: of several that has coino to the u'-! tendon of the Red Cross, where j unworthy claims for cbarlt v are j regular occurrences, the claimants making their way through life on the good will of others.
