These trucks make regular trips to

The parents, Otto and Helen Lang-

"Only last March 20, when suit was

has a legal right to withhold funds

ed which provided Immediate relief

Mrs. Kletzer explained. Wheeler and
Curry counties were fsclng an 82 per
cent tax delinquency. The aver.igc
over the state was 43 per cent.
Warns of Optimism.
"The people." Mrs. Kletzer warned
must not be too optimistic over the
recent increase In payment of taxes,
The people able to pay have chosen
to take advantage of tne oonus oi-
fered, but when they have paid we
will again be facing the same tragic
situation created by those who aio
unable to pay. The child shouldn't
be penalized because he Is living In
any particular district."
The situation Is a treglo one lor
teachers of the state, too. Mrs. Klet
zer emphasized, and the teacher's pov
erty Is reflected In all business chan
nels. She told of one Instance where
a teacher from another county ap
pealed to the Portland Teachers' as
sociation for aid. She had been paid
in warrants for two years. They wore
cashable by one man In the county
where she taught, and he demanded
a 50 per cent discount. "It Is under
such circumstances," Mrs. Kletzer de
clared; "that many schools are kept
open."
The name of the county was reveal
ed by the perent-Teacher officer, but
not for publication, through a de
sire to protect the teacher in the
case.
Tuition Poor Plan '
In one of the southern states the
problem has been met by tuition
charges. In a city of 15.000 popula
tion every grade pupil attending
school must pay $3 per month and
every high schol student $5.50 per
month. As a result, 200 children In
the district ore deprived of education
because their parents can't pay the
fee. These figures, Mrs. Kletzer
stated, were released by the United
States commissioner of education
Figures from the same source show
that one of every two cities in tne
United States has been compelled to
drop some Important school service.
Twenty-five thousano teachers nave
been dropped from the payroll and
a million additional children have
come Into the schools In need of edu
cation. Such was the discouraging
cycle drawn by the educational lead
er, who also lamented the tendency
of people to believe "Just half tho
truth."
8o many half-truths have been dis
pensed since passage of the sales tax,
she added, that she Is urging all Parent-Teacher
association members to
Investigate that measure and all other
legislation for themselves.

SPECTACLES OFF
A monkey at Callfornla-On-the-Rogue,
removed the spectacles of Fred
J. McPherson Sunday as he was
passing by the simian's cage and, to
date, only the frame of the glasses i
has been recovered. The monkey re
moved the lens and hid them, and
did a good Job of it. It required con- i
slderable maneuvering to regain the
frame. McPherson came to town yes
terday from Shady Cove, where he re
sides, and reported his mishap to
friends.
The loss of the spectacles came with
lightning swiftness. The monkey,
feeling playful, Just stuck a long arm
through the bars, whisked off the
glasses and then retreated to the far
corner of his cell. The simian was
reluctant to part with his loot. He
removed the lens, and played with
the frame until they were wheedled
away from him. His monkey com
panion enjoyed the spisode, seem
ingly. A search of the cage was made, but
there was no sign of the lens. The
thoroughness of the disappearance
gives rise to the suspicion that the
monkey may have swallowed them.
So far the animal has given no signs
of Internal distress.
McPherson was at the popular re
sort as host to Verne Brophy, cow
man, as the result of losing a bet
on the weight of a steer. McPherson
bet Brophy that a beef he sold to
the Economy Groceteria would not
weigh 1200 pounds. The steer weighed
1208 pounds.
The search for the missing lens
continues.
