EDUCATIONAL LAWS
(Continued on page three)
montary schools from $8.00 to $10 00;
and an act providing that tho high
school tuition, low shall bo effective In
all counties excepting thoso having the
central county high school. A brief
outline of theso five laws follows:
Vocational Act H. B. 225, introduc
ed by Mr. W. G. Hare of Washington
county: :'. ' " -
This act accepts the provisions of the
federal board for vocational education,
known as the Smith-Hughes act, where
by the federal government is author
ized tof co-operate with the soveral
states in promoting through the high
schools, education in the trades, indus
tries, agriculture and in the special
preparation of teachers to teach those
subjects. Through the passage of the
Hare act, Oregon will receive from the
federal government during the next
biennium, $10,000. Under the terms of
the federal net the state must match
the appropriation. Tho work will bo un
, dcr the direction of tho state board
for vocational education, appointed by
"the governor. The course of study of
fered must be in conformity with tho
plans of tho federal board for vocation
al education. The purpose of the act
is to establish such rules in our high
school that every child may have the
opportunity to acquire an education
that will fit him for tho actual wom
of life and that ho may be able to
earn, if necessary, a living tho day he
leaves school
1 Part-Time Schools S. B. 252, Intro
duced by the Senate Committee on Td-ncation:
This act provides for raising the
compulsory age to 10 years for all
children who have not completed the
eighth grade. It further provides that
all children between the ages of 16
and IS years, who have not completed
the eighth grade, must attend a part
time school, if such school be estab
lished in the district where tho pupil
resides. Attendance must be one hour
a day for five days in the week upon
the employer's time, provided, that if
thoro bo an evening school, that pupil
may elect to attond the evening school,
if he prefers so to do. This act is
drawn in conformity with the policies
of tho Federal Board of Vocational
Education, which is securing the 'pas
sage of such laws in all the state of
the union.
Minimum Salary, H. B. 149 Intro
duced by Mrs Alexander Thompson of
Wasco and Hood Elver counties;
This act prov'des that no teacher in
tho public schools of tho state shall be
paid a salary of leas than $75 per
month. The -penalty is forfeiture of
tho funds of the school district to the
general fund of the county, and any
member of tho board Bigning such a
contract becomes personally liablo for
the amount.
Minimum School Fund, H- B. 405 In
troduced by the Committee on Educa
tion: This act has a two-fold purpose. It
provides a minimum fund of $620 for
every- school district -in order that a
district will be able to pay the minimum
salary provided for in H. B. 19. It also
raises "the amount of tho county school
fund from $8.00 to $10.00 for every
child of school age. Tho purposo of
this increase is to equalize the burden
rfif taxation for school purposes More
tnnn nair oi tno money used tor the ex
penses of the public schools is raised
by local taxation. By increasing tho
county levy a largor taxing unit is se
cured and the amount of the special
levies will be lower. In this way all
the property of the state Is responsible
for tho education of the children of
the state and the poor school district,
with lower valuation, will not be re
quired to levy a rate which they can
not pay.
High School Bill. S B. 63 Introduc
ed by Senator I. S. Patterson of Polk
county:
This act repeals the county high
school fund and places in operation
in all the counties of the state, ex
cepting the five which maintain a cen
tral county high school, the county tui
tion law which was enacted in 1915.
This law. levies a tax upon all tho
property of a county, excepting that
which is in standard high school dis
tricts. Any child living in a district
which does not maintain a high school
may. .attend the .hij;li .sehocl which Is
most accessible for aud his tui
tion will be paid by the county from
this fund. It insures free high school
tuition to all the children of the star.
Heretofore, children living in counties
operating under the old fund law, could
not attend a high school outside hU
own eounty without paying a part of
or all of his own tuition Kome of the
eouuties operating under this law were
refusing to pay any of the tuition of
a child if he attended a nigh school
outside of his county. This made it im
possible for many children in the state
living near a county border line to se
cure a high school education.
(jlackautas eounty furnishes a good
example of how the tuition fund law
affects the high school growth. In 1914,
Clackamas county had three high
schools, at Canby, Milwaukee and Oro
gon City. In 1916, the county superin
tendent reported that ''during the past
15 months eight four-year high schools
have met all the requirements for
standardization of high schools- The
incTeasea' attendance last year was
marvelous, ranging from 33 1-3 per
cent to 100 per cent in each high school.
Fully 75 per cent of the boys and girls
who graduated from the eighth grade
in 1915 attended some standard high
school." While the establishment of
small high schools and the union high
school districts has been much more
rapid during tho past four years ,
the counties working rmdor the new
law than under the old fund law, yet
in order to make absolutely certain
that no small high school could be in
jured, the act passed in the 1919 ses
sion included a section providing that
before making the distribution of the
tuition money, the full cost of educat
ing ten pupils should be paid by me
county. ,
Other educational bills enacted by tho
recent session of the legislature are as
follows:
Physical Education, S. B. 29 Intro
duced by Senator W. W Banks of
Portland:
This act provides that physical edu
cation shall be compulsory for all pu
pils in tho elementary grades and high
schools of tho state for a period of
not less than 20 minutes in each school
day, exclusive of recess periods. The
course of instruction shall be prepared
by a committee of experts appointed
by the state superintendent of public
instruction, and shall consist of such
activities as will correct physical pos
ture, mental and physical alertness,
self-control, discipline, initiative, sense
of patriotism, duty, a spirit of co-operation
and leadership. The superintend
ent of public instruction shall have the
power to enforce the act and to pre
scribe provisions for individual exemp
tion, from physicul training.

changes in tho boundaries of a school
'district, when petitioned so to do by the
legal voters of the district affected,
equal i nnumber to ten per cent of the
ttumbcr of children of school age in
such district.1

of those living in tho city of Portland.

Reconstruction asks heroisms of ALL of us, just as in the War. Man
cannot live to himself alone each is dependent upon his fellow.
Work is needed asked for. Good wages must be maintained to me?.i living costs
to tide over. Money should be spent wisely, of course. But it is net wisdom and it is
not patriotism to keep from buying needed things. Practical
citizenship realizes that all good which came daring tho War
by improving the 'earning capacity and therefore the living
conditions of several million families must not be allowed
to backslide ta the old conditions, or worse. We must all
help to keep them up!

Why you should start at once to build or remodel
It is better to lose a little it is better to pay some
difference because it is best for your community,
and best for the country as a whole. When you buy,
you help someone who helps someone else, and he in
turn helps you.
Building material has declined what higher figures
still exist are due almost wholly to labor cost, which
w
e 7 announce
mi of
in turn is due to higher food prices which bid fair to
remain high for several years.
If you need a home or a building if you have
funds availaWs start the improvement at one.
You caa't make a mistake to buy in tha long run
and you can make the mistake of not buying now
what you need.
price . -reduction
Promptly on January 1 we decided to sacrifice present profits and announced 25 percent price reduction on IDEAL Boilers,
AMERICAN Radiators, and ARCO WAND Vacuum Cleaners to quicken building and remodeling, and in answer to the public
demand to give employment to demobilized men. . ." ; ... j ,'; ! 1 ; ...;
Building material in general has been reduced end is sold at a smaller margin of profit than before the War. . Ask for bids, and you'll see.
New material and methods have cheapened building!
Architects and Engineers tell us that wartime economies have
taught how to substitute lower-priced materials; how to save
by using standard sizes, by employing simpler methods, by
buying materials produced near home. They can save builders
of today much money. Consult them I In similar way you can
cut the price of an IDEAL Boiler and AMERICAN Radiators
by omitting the useless extra chimney or two, by omitting
useless fireplaces and mantels, needless doors and double win
dowsexpenses which all go .with old-time stove and hot-air
furnace heating. Also you can save by omitting the fancy
lamps never lighted, books never read, vases that contain no
flowers, piano never played, etc.
Home building is the best and safest investment today
Building a home is always the wisest investment a family can make. It brings many returns
not to be calculated on a mere interest cost basis. You can make no better paying invest
ment than by changing your house into a home by the coal-saving outfit of IDEAL
AMERICAN heating. Make the dollars work for you and others. ACT NOW.

Tho Capital (City Cooperative Cream
ery, which recently elected new offi
cers and directors, presented an en
couraging array of figures at its an
nual meeting, especially as the past
year was one of the most discouraging
in the history of tho dairy busiiicits.
Tho statistics show that their butter
sale for the year amounted to $84,089
and they paid to patrons $70,919, while
tilio gross profit from this department
were $13,770.97. Adding the sales from
cream, milk, separators, etc., there was
a gross total profit of $15,442.60. In
the matter of disbursements it was
shown that labor, supplies, salaries and
general expense mado up a total of
$9281.67, leaving a net profit on tho
years' business of $6160.93. The finan
cial statement showed total assets o
$16,800. The liabilities, including cream
accounts, duo to stockholders, eifuip

butter substitutes which have begun
to cut deeply into tho dairy business.
Several members paid their respects to
the "dope" in plain United States,

test upon rats and mice with butter
and oleomargarine. Two groups of the
rodents wero shut up with supplies) of
butter and "dope" and in the course

were living on the "dope" were slow
ly starving to doath. It was suggested
that as a matter of educating the con
suming public as to the relative merits
of butter and the substitutes, an exact
analysis of the two be made by experts
and the results published in the pa
pers. TBo need of educating the publie
ulong this line was urged by the speak
ers, who.claLmod that it would prove
that there was no real economy in the
use of tho substitutes. '
