TO CHANGE SCHOOL LAWS Supt. Ackennan Makes Report and Recommendations to the Legislature . SUGGESTS .LEVY , : OP( SIX MILL. TAX FOR; SCHOOL. PURPOSES. 1 LAW PROVIDING FOR ., PUR. C1IASE OF'; SCHOOL, " BOOKS WITH SCHOOL FUNDS. Several days ago the Statesman contained a! summary of the" statistical report of Superintendent of Public In-struc-tiort J. H. Ackerman to the Legis lature covering a period of two years and yesterday the professor completed his written' report, which Is Quite lengthy, and is now In. the hands of the printer,; - u The report embodies" several recom- modulations j to the Legislature for changes in the school taws which he regards as necessary to suit the con alt ion .which, he states, are rapidly undergoing J changes with , which It Is impossible for the law to keep pace. Mr. Ackerman calls the attention of the, Legislature to the separate reports of - the several . county , superintendents whose hearty co-operation with each other and with his department has made it possible for, the work to bte carried forward with such a degree o'f success. He states r. that the revised rchool laws, in the Wain, have given general satisfaction, but that they can not be expected to keep pace with the times and require frequent changes to meet the conditions, which, he 'adds, is due to no fault of those who enacted them. With the steady growth of the state and the schools In mind and "be lieving that , legislative enactment often stimulates educational interest and zeal," Professor Ackerman offers the following suggestions: The. best educational thought of the common school teachers, of today," J is efven 'to the-question of how to lm j rove the rural schools. - Educational methods .iij practices have made great advancement during the past twenty five years: but there Is no disguising the fact that the-1 advancement In the. rural actijobla has not kept pace with that of the i village and city schools. City schools are In the hands of the l4t educational talent that can be tseeured. This is effected bjtlie pay ment of liberal salaries to Rtecbers, by supplying the best 'buildings that brains and ; money can produce; and by; holding out the Inducement of at tractive surroundlngslo the teacher. "These conditions can be, materially improved by more effectual supervls-U ion : by securing better teachers; " by ft?rnlahing school "boards with ample funds with- j whichto pay, better sala ries, and by. closing one or more small schools and uniting the revenues of the districts in which they are located into-one centra! school J to which the children would: be , traapo tad-at the expense of the consolidated districts. - .;, To ' Increase Salaries. "More effective supervision . can . be secured in many counties by placing the county superintendent on -al'salary that wi!l Justify him In devoting the whole of his time to the duties of his office. lie should- receive a salary somewhat larger than that of the best paying public school position in , his county. This will tend to bring to the c ounty superintendent's .office the best teaching ability, In the county; and sureljv he who js -to supervise all the schools of his county, should be no less than the peer of, any) teacher, in the county; ;and such a one, as a rule, cannot be secured at a reduced salary. ''Better teachers can be secured If school boards would Insist that the teachers' they employ shall be espec ially trained for their work; and; one of the moU ' hopeful signs, for the bet terment of the rural schools, is that school boards are more and more com -Infir to realise the Importance of such training and are employing only train ed teachers.! ' This as it .should be, and th time will soon be when no board v. ill think of employing an un trained teacher; neither will a teacher pivyum; to teach) who ihaW riot been trained for her work. "There Is a tcarclty of rural school teachers. This has been brught about largely; byline small salaries paid for teaching in rural" schools. ; Many of our beat teachers i cannot afford to t cue h for the 'compensation .offered ; ,tnc, aeek ;nd find employment In more lucrative vocations. Of course, teachers should place teaching on a higher riana than a mere pecuniary one, but, after alt say what we will, we are all rnore orlesw influenced by monetary considerations. Many school boards would ; willingly pay more, If tlKy had the means; but With the tax levy and other sources of school funds as they are and it being quite impos sible to secure' a special tax ': levy, school oificers jmust, perforce, conduct the school affairs of tjheir districts with the funds received from the five mill county tax atd the Interest from the 'irreducible school fund. In view or these conditions, I would respect fully .suggest that your honorable d1 pass such enactments as will provide iura! schools with ample funds. "In this connection. I would recom mend the following: ' U) ' Amend Section 22, JZ1 School Laws to read as follows: "The coilfctjr courts of the several counties or this state are hereby required, v.to levv at the same time they levy other taxes, a tax uponH 'the taxable prop erty in their counties, for school pur poses, of at, least six mills . on the dollar, which shall te collected at the same time, and Irt the same manner and by the same officers that other tuAvc QIC VVUCVtwi y "(2- A taw providing that the State Jband Board shall have tne preicu. rirkt .-v,.r,T.9ea oil Hfnool books Ana r - 4 . - I H-- . - pay for the same out of the permanent school funds. 1 f:t A ' 1.. w nlarinr a ftmAlI annual -tax- on corporations. . The proceeds to be used for public school purposes ray. The sum realised to be turned over to .is i iranui . - portioned by him among the several countUs of the state, in proportioa to number of persons In each be- tw veen n ages of four and twenty years -Some- of the benefits to be derived from consolidation! of small schools and the transportation of pupils at public expense are as follows: a ' . "(a) 1 The schools . being larger and more closely graded, better teachers can be secured. "(b- Experiences In other taa have proved that the per capita cost Is i euueea. .. - i (c) The larger school employs more itacners; nence, a better classlnca ""f an oe secured than In a email scnooi. 1 .- r ' r' ; i- ' -:X , d) The ; larger school ? produces larger ciassesn therefore, a greater t thuslasm Is obtained than can be se cured where there are but three or xour ins av elass the number in the average class in a small school - (e) Supervision is more s thorough ana more easily accomplished. ' . "(f) A better and more regular a t- tenaance can be secured. "(g) Tardiness is reduced ' to . a minimum. "(h) Better buildings rfnd" more ap paratus and appliances can be secured at less cost. "(I) Longer and more regular terms or school would .result. "(j As the pupils are conveyed to and from school, their' health is uni formly better. ;, "k' Older children 'are Enabled to attend their home school much long? ,. . "(1 The farm surroundings of the community will be greatly; Improved. - "(m) In- a consolidated - school op portunity can be afforded for studying special branches. : f i 5 ; ; "(n) Eighteen states have laws upon their staute books authorizing the consolidation of districts, and the transportation of pupils, and It Is the consensus of opinion of superintend ents, school i officers and teachers, where consolidation and transporta tion have been tried, that the plan is far superior to the old plan of having a small school at every cross-roads. "In . thus impeaching the work now being done in our rural schools, h e are not unmindful of the: fact that the rural school has been a potent factor in our American civilization: but this Is an age of organization and central ization. The conditions under which they did 'their best work have been radically changed, and with the change must come a cor r res ponding chan i the: methods of conducting these schools. The boys and glria In the ru ral schools are Just as bright, 'just a's Intelligent and as capable of doing good, thorough? work, as any foupil in the city schools. The. benefits to be secured In the 'scheme of consolidation are that the child may still be sur rounded by country conditions the very best the advantages of classifi cation and organization found in th city school. The child' in the country is infinitely: better oft than the child In the city, from the fact that he has" some! definite .work to perform, such as ority can be found on a farm.- hence, we believe the very best -conditions for the making of strong men' and':'omir.. both physically and mentally, are best secured by keeping them , In close touch- with rural surroundings, : a 3d, at the same time furnishing, them with the very best schooj, conditions K)ssi ple. 1 ; : . . ; ----- r7- - 'J " Some More Amsndmants.- ySecondi i Amend; the law. so that each clerk shall enroll, annually on the first Monday in March, for school pur poses, all persons ,In his district over 4 and under 20 years of; age. i r "Third..

"The State Course of Study, has been thoroughly revised and I am pleased to say that.' as a rule, it Is giv ing excellent satisfaction, i' In its re vision, due attention was given to the elimination of as much subject matter as possible, r A one-book ' course in geography, for rural schools.: was rec ommended and also that the pupil be held for the coarse print, only, in both books, which will , reduce the amount of required work at least one half, and wliL In my opinion, still leave too much geography for all practical purposes. A two-book course, la lan guage is strongly recommended.. The Course of Study has come to be con sidered as an Important part of the school system of Oregon, and we firm ly believe that It h:tll Increasingly continue to be one of the Important adjuncts of our school work. , ; County Superintendents Convention. The several county superintendents have been more than willing to carry out In the very best manner possible any suggestions offered by this , department- They have been v conscien. tlous in the discharge of their duties and have been ever alert to the ad vancement of , the educational tnt-r-ests of their respective counties. How ever, much more could be accomplish ed 1 the state superintendent were authorized to call a convention of county superintendents annually Jor consultation. E.ch county could well Xrd to defray the traveUng expens es of Us county superintendent to such a. convention. : .i.i- ...Mm the Stats Teachers' Associations. -""During the past two years, there have been held four sessions 0 the State 'Teachers Association two - of j the Eastern and two of the Western division. The programs for these ses sions have been strong, both In the topics discussed and the personnel of those who discus the subjects. . These Association meetings - have been the means of awakening renewed Interest In eduedtlorial matters in each part of the state where they have been heU. The amount appropriated for the hold' ing of Association meetings during the last two years, by the Legislative Assembly,- aided us greatly in securing the best available talent, and I sincere ly trust that the same amount may be appropriated for the same purpose during the ensuing two years. , Teachers'' Institutes. ' County teachers Institutes have, been held annually in each county and it gives me great pleasure to say that, owing to the courtesy of the county superintendents, I have been invited to attend each one held. It has been my privilege and pleasure to be In at tendance at the institutes held lh ev ery county In the state, but one, and. in most cases. I have been able to visit the several counties annually In insti tute work. I consider the county in stitute one of the strongest features of our school work,' and It would. In deed, be a catastrophe If your honor able body should pass any law. that would seriously cripple the efflcl?nt work now being done by them.

In crossing the creek on the bridge as stated he may have fallen aff, being attacked by vertigo. Every thing looks as If he had no intention of "going for good."
