AT ROTARY MEEHNG
Because of th growing Interest In
school financial affairs, th Med ford
Rotary club invited C. R. Bowman,
county school superintendent, to dla-
ou the county schools at today's
luncheon at the Hotel Medford. Mr.
Bowman's inter ting talk clarified
many point Wrhtch hare been In
question by people of thla commun
ity and his intensely interesting ad
dress was enthusiastically received
by th Rotarlan.
In the course of his talk, the
speaker pointed out the advantages
which might be derived from the
passage of the county school law,
which calls for a more simplified
and efficient administration of the
county school funds through the
consolidation of 70 districts Into one
unit. Our present complex system
of scores of districts tend to a less
businesslike and Intelligent handling
of school affairs and a greatly added
administration and tax distributing
cost, in the opinion of Mr. Bowman,
State aid for schools was also
urged by Superintendent Bowman,
who also reviewed the present sources
of school maintenance funds and ex
plained how a more equitable distri
bution of the tax load might be ef
fected if state school funds were
available. The state, according to
the speaker, is In a position to raise
funds through - diversified sourses
while now the burden Is placed al
most entirely upon the local prop
erty owner.
Following Mr. Bowman's interest
ing talk, Glen Smith, acting chair
man of the meeting, and Hamilton
Pat ton. Rotary program chairman,
conducted an Informal forum in
which members of the club discussed
points brought up by Mr. Bowman.
