Something m tlio School Question. , The taxpayers of Hood Iliver tiieet Si.tirday afternoon, Angunt 8,oi vote on the question of maintaining courses in the public fchool above the eighth grade. According to an act of the last legislature, in limns town, not maintain ing a regular liiuh fchool, in order that brnche above the 8th grade Ik taught in the public fchool it is necestary tor the voters of the district to determine by a majority vote at a special meeting that this be done. It is-hoped that the Hood Kiver voters will take sufficient time from their work on Saturday next to go to this meeting at the school house and to vote for the teaching of high school branchei in our Behoof for the coming school year. Don't let each one leave this work for his neighbor, but let him go in person and fulfil his duties as a citizen having an interest in the edu cational welfare of the community. The ouestion of a hieli school is iust now a vital issue with the people of Hood Kiver. Those living in tue valley are also interest in the matter. Of late, the proposition hag been brought forth that there should be a high school that would meet the needs of both town and vallev. The country schools are increat ing in number at a more rapid rate than the town school, ana tne country aiS' tricts are also finding it necessary to do high school work. This is contrary to the principle advocating conservation of energy. In each district there are but a half dozen pupils ready to take up the advanced courses. But the demand of these few must be met and the district decides that 9th grade studies shall be taught. This means from six to a dozen additional classes for the teacher and he must have more pay for the work Another teacher can not be thought of, but nevertheless with the work of the advanced grades less of the teacher's time can lie spent upon the pupils of the lower grades. Here then is a direct loss to the school. A higher salary is paid the teacher yet the work of the schools is poorer. The teaching of high school branches in the country districts is theretore waste of time and money. The town district itself is not of sufficient size to warrant a high school independent of the grammar school. Then why not have a high school supported by both the town and the country? Most of the country districts are near enough to town to admit of the students attending a high school in town. Such a high school would prove a source of economy to all concerned. "What's your idea about the high school question," inquired a Glaceir representative, one day last week, of County School Superintendent C. L, Gilbert. "Perhaps as long ago as thirteen years," replied Mr. Gilbert, "the ad visability of uniting the school districts of Hood Kiver valley for the support of a central high school was diecussed. So far, it has ended in discussion. A - law was introduced at the last session of the legislature with a view to grouping three or more school districts under one maa agement. The bill failed to pass. It has been proposed along this line by friends of education in Hood River valley to have a special act of the legislature empowering the school districts of the valley to levy a uniform special school tax for the pur pose of supporting a high school depart ment, and making eligible to such high school department all pupils who have completed the 8th grade course, without pnvment ot tuition. -"Several taxpayers and Bchool patrons have expressed themselves as favorable to this plan, "continued Superintendent Ullbert. " mere might, though, be an objection entered against such a plan inasmuch as the students in attendance from certain localities might be greatly out of proportion to the amount of taxes contributed to the support of the school "That the maintaining of a 9th grade or a 10th grade, or both, in any district m the vallev tor as tew as lour or students is expensive, all will admit This year, the Hood River school district had seven graduates from the 8th grade; Barrett district, nine; Odell two; Crapper, one; Pine Grove, two, Last year Frank ton had nine and Bar rett, 15. "There being no present law to aid in this matter, as county superintendent I suggested to the Hood River board of directors thatrthey offer an inducement to graduates in the 8th grade from the rural districts to attend the high school here in Hood River. The board has taken favorable action in the mat ter and has already authorized the principal of the school to invite patroiv aae at the low rate of 12 per month This is about actual cost of maintaining any grade in the high school. "I heleive that this is a business prop osition tor an tne districts concerned and that it will give the best results to all at a minimum cost. There is a law authorizing the board of one school dis trict to transfer public school funds to another district for the support of pupil w ho desires to attend school in another district. Iam of the opinion that the outlying districts ot the val ley already sioken of would be justified under this law in transferring funds for the support of graduates of their school who desire to attend the high school town."
