VACUUM PACKER
Plan of Giving Credit for M usic
Studies Pursued Outside of Class
Rooms Extended Throughout State
Raising the standards and more firm-,
ly establishing the system whereby the
Oregon high schools recqgnizo the work
i:i music completed under the direction
of competent music teachers, Superin
tendent J. A. Churchill has just issued a
new course of study lor music stuuems.
Oregon is the pioneer in offering high
school credits for music carried on out
side of school, as it was authorized by
Siinpriiitiide.it Churchill as a state wide
plan iu 1913. Far a number of years
previous to this, students in tneuaKer
high school who desired to 'take: music
frm inai tnnohnra had been triven one
credit each year by Superintendent
Churchill, who was men at tne nuau ux
Mm Bnkor schools. In this work ho had
the cooperation of the music touchers of
Baker, and the plan was so successnu
that it attracted the attention of music
teachers throughout the United fctates.
A full account, commenantory oi sucn
co-operation and . recognition of the
work and influence of the music teach
er was given at that time in the JJtude.
On account of this experience, Super
intendent Churchill was convinced that
a course in music for a student who has
the aptitude-for such work has an im
portant part in forming the child's char
acter and fitting him for useful citizen
I ship as any subject' offered in the reg
ular high school curriculum, Believing
therefore, that a girl or boy who wishes
to' study music should be encouraged
Mr. Churchill, when lie Became super-
of nublic Instruction, au
thorized the high schools of the state to
give eredit for music outsiae or. hcnooi
the nrincinal of the hiirh school
was satisfied as to the sufficiency of
the preparation of the taeher ottering
music courses.
Tiiirinor the next two vears so many
pupils applied for eredit, that the de
mand .became general from' principals,
teachers, school patrons, ana music
teachers themselves for some definite
standard by which the character of the
pupil's work and the comeptency of the
music teacher might be judged. That
this work might be continued success
fully, therefore, the state teachers' asso
ciation, in 1916, at the request of the
superintendent of public instruction ap
pointed a committee to report on tne
requirements that both teacher taa pu
nil must meet, before high school credit
be given for music outside of scnooi.
Tim rnnrvrt via adonted' Decenifcejc 29,
1917. A committee of three prominent
music teachers of the state now pass on
oil nnnlinntinns nf music tor.chcrs who
nsk that their pupils be given credit,
und decide whether or not tne prepara
tion of the teacher is such as meets the
'itu 'dKids defined in the report of the
committee for the association. The mu

an affidavit that all of her statcmenti
in regard to her training are true.
Whenever the committe appointed by
the superintendent of public insUuction
reports favorably on the application of
a musie teacher to be accredited, the
applicant will be accredited and so noti
fied, r " ' '.
The new course of study in musie was
prepared by the committee, Dr. John J.
Laudsbury . Frederick W. Goodrich, &nd
Mrs. Jean Park MeCroekon. A puoil
may earn in music three credi.ts out of
the fifteen required for graduation. A
pupil is not to receive credit for music
lessons taken before his entrance into
high school. The new course outlines
four years of work in each of the fol
lowing: Piano, violin and vocal music.
To earn a high school credit, a pupil
must complete satisfactorily one year of
work as outlined in one of these courses.
Application blanks are now ready for
nil music teachers of the state who de
nim tn have their work accredited, and

Non - Resident Properly :
Owner Not tntitled lo
Vote On School Taxes
Simply because & person owns prop
erty within the district at the time he
offers his vote, does not constitute him
a legal voter at an election involving
the lovvine of taxos for the mimosa m
building a school house, in the opinion
of Attorney General Brown who has so
advised E. B. Hall, Port Orlord attor
ney, in a letter which reads as follows:
"In order to bo a legal voter in a
district, nf t.h first, or second class at
an election to vote to tax, to build a new
school house the voter must be an in
habitant of the district who has resided
therein for a term of 30 days immediate
ly preceding the election is 21 years of
age who has property, enner real or per
sonal, upon tne assessment rons oi tne
county as Bhown by the last county as
sessment. "However, if the Port Orford dis
trict is 8 school district of the third
class any ltsjad of a family who is other
wise qualified as an elector ana ins
children of school age may vote at the
elcctio'i without property qualifica
tions. " '
.This lnterDretation of the law, how
ever, does not apply in the election of
school directors and cierijs or scnoei
districts, the attorney general explains.

Car sliortnsio continues to interfere
seriously wtih lumber shipments in tho
northwest.
The industry in Oregon and Washing
ton west of tho Cascades is recoiving
slichtlv better than 40 por cent of its
normal car requirements. The situation
has been serious for. more than a month
and with the season's grain crop about
to .move is likely to get worse bcxo'ro it
gets better.
It is estimated that by reason of tho
recent shopmen's strike in tho north
west, followed by the strike in Uio east
and middle west an aggregate of 5000
"bad orders" cars has accumulated in
the northwest. Similar conditions are
said to prevail i:i other pnrts of the

Recent reports indicate a totai ( i uuu

The West Coast Lumbermen asso
ciation is appealing te the manufactur
ers to load out all cars promptly upon
receipt and to fill them to capacity
wherever possible, ai repcarcuiy naa
cE.lled attention of the mills to the
urgent need of heavy loading.
The railroad administration nas point
ed out that the average loadings per
car, in lumber, have decreased from 29
tons in 1018 to 28 tons In 1013. But
the' association hns tailed attention to
the fact that the dominating movement
in 1918 was green timbers while this
