OREGON WILL GET AID
FROM GOVERNHtNT IF
PRESENT BiLL PASSES
For Certain Educational
For Ctrtain Educational
Uses.
Oregon will be entitled to receive
$857,587 annually from the federal gov
ernment for special educational work,
if tho bill introduced in congress by
Senator Hoke Smith becomes a law, es
leading educators believe it will.
Thia bill, which is declared to em
body the greatest educational program
ever put forward by the government,
carries an appropriation of 100,000,000
a year for educational purposes. It al
so created a separate department of ed
ucation with a secretary at is head who
would be a member of the president's
cabinet.
Thig sum of money is to be used in
the various states for co-operating with
the states in improving educational con
ditions. Tho states will be required to
match the government funds dollar for
dollar, according to information which
has been received concerning the bill
by J. A. Churchill, superintendent of
public instruction Oregon's share of
the fund would be segregated as fol
lows?
Uses of Money.
For the removal of illiteracy, $3,
702.68. For the Americanization of immi
grants, $62,790.48.
For equalizing educational opportun
ities, $495,938.82.
For physical and health education,
$146,326.39.
For better and more teacher prepara
tion, $148,769.30.
To obtain the expenditure of this
money in Oregon, this state will be ex
pected to match the fund dollar for dol
ar. The largest, sum would bo spent for
equalizing educational opportunities By
that is meant that there should be
statewide taxation, at least to tho
amount provided in tho bill, for raising
a fund to aid tho spnrsely settled dis-
tr"ts or districts of low property valu
ations to havo adequate school facili
ties and properly trained teachers.
The next largest sum would go for
physical and health education. This
carries with it "medical examination
of children of school age, tho dotormi
nation of mental and physical defects
in such children, tho employment of
school nurses, the establishment and
maintenance of school dental clinics,
and the instruction of fho people in
tho principle of health and sanitation

In Action In France
(Capital Journal Special Service.)
Donald. Ore., Dec 13. One of oul
Donald boys makes the supreme sacu
fice in France. The community wn.i
grieved and shocked when a telegram
came to Mayor and Mrs. Geo Iamb on
Saturday, that their son Albort, had
been killed in action October 7. No
further word has been received Bo far
but a letter had been received dated
October 9, and we aro hoping there hap
been an error mado and good news may

Mr. Lamb wired tho authorities at
Washington to look into the mattei
and report at once. The sympathy of
cue whole community goes out to them
m their anxiety and suspense.

been very good for some time.

over until Saturday evening.
Iu looking over tho list of illiterates
in Oregon, as published this week, we
can but wonder at it. When tho people
aro paying out money for taxos t0 keep
good schools running it seems that nuc
one must be negligent in their duty if
Oregon has laws as Washington and
Idaho have, but in every community at
well as Donald, no doubt, there arc
laws not being enforced and children
aro growing up in ignorance to become
inmates in some of the state institu
tions later, in all probability.

a profit to his company and to tho
