Full text of "Report"
This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.
Usage guidelines
Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.
We also ask that you:
+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for
personal, non-commercial purposes.
+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.
+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.
+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe.

authorize the holder to teach in any public school in the State. Applicants for State
Certificates and State Diplomas mast present certificates of good moral character, and
that they have taught successfully in their several counties, from the county superin-
tendents of all the counties in which the applicant has taught for three years imme-
diately preceding the time of making such application, but the State Board, if otherwise
satisfied as to the qualification^ of said applicant, may grant the certificates or diplomas
"Without certificates from the county superintendents. All persons holding such diplo-
mas or certificates, before engaging to teach in any public school in this State, shall
present such diploma or certificate to the superintendent of the county in which the
holder proposes to teach, to be registered by the superintendent, and such holders of
diplomas and certificates, while they remain In such county, shall attend institutes,
■assist in institute work, and perform such other reasonable duties as may be required by
the county superintendent, the same as other teachers of the county are required to do.
If any holder of a diploma or of a certificate as aforesaid shall refuse to perform his
•duties as herein specified, then it shall be the duty of the county superintendent to re-
port such unprofessional conduct to the State Board of Education. The State Board of
Education may revoke any certificate or diploma granted by it on the proof that the
holder has been guilty of immoral conduct rendering him unfit to be a'teacher; but, be'
fore any revocation shall be made, the person accused shall have due and reasonable
notice of the nature of the charge against him and shall have an opportunity to be
heard in person and by counsel, and to produce any witnesses whose testimony he may

and subject to such rules and regulations as the State Board of Education may pre-
scribe, which grades of certificate shall be as follows: The certificate of the first grade
shall be granted only to those who are over eighteen years of age and have taught
twelve school months with approved success; and shall be valid throughout the county
for three years. To obtain the same, an applicant shall make a general average of not
less than ninety per cent of all branches prescribed by law, and shall not fall below
seventy percent In any one branch; i>roinc2«d, that whenever an applicant has, upon two
successive examinations, received ninety per cent or more in one or more branches,
said applicant may, in the next examination thereafter, be excused from examination
upon such branches and be credited with the standing so earned; pvovtded, that the
county superintendent may indorse a first-grade certificate in force in any other county
in the State, without examination, and said indorsement shall render the said certifi-
cate valid in his county during the validity of the original certificate ; provided^ that the
superintendent shall have po,wer to revoke said certificate for the same cause and in like
manner as those granted by the county board of examiners of his county ; provided^ that
in all cases where a certificate is indorsed, it shall be registered in theolflceof the county
superintendent of such other county, in a book provided for such purpose. The date of
such registration must be indorsed by the superintendent on the back of the certificate,
and withoutsuch registration and indorsement no first-grade certificate shall be valid in
any county except the one for which It was issued. A fee of one dollar shall be paid to the
superintendent by the teacher whose certificate is registered and indorsed as herein pro-
vided, which sum he shall pay within ninety days to the county treasurer, taking his
receipt therefor. All money so collected shall become a part of the county institute
fund. A certificate of the second grade shall be granted only to those who have attained
the age of eighteen years, and have taught at least three school months with ability
and success, and shall be valid throughout the county for two years. To obtain the
same an applicant shall make an average of not less than eighty per cent in all branches
prescribed by law, and shall not fall below sixty per cent in anyone branch. Such
certificates shall not be renewed, nor shall any person be entitled to receive more than
one second-grade In any one county ; provided^ that more than one second-grade certifi-
cate may be issued to the same person in a county on a regular public examination, as
herein set forth, if such person has not had the requisite experience for a first-grade
certificate. A certificate of the third grade shall be issued only to those who have at-
tained the age of seventeen years. Such certificate shall be valid for one year. To
obtain the same an applicant shall make an average of not less than seventy per cent in
all branches prescribed by law, and shall not fall below fifty-five per cent in any one
branch. Such certificates shall not be renewed, nor shall any person be entitled to re-
ceive more than one third-grade certificate in any one county ; provided^ that more than
one third-grade certificate may be issued to the same person on a regular examination
as here set forth, if such person has not had the requisite teaching experience required
for a second-grade certificate.
A certificate to be known as a "primary certificate" shall be issued to applicants
therefor upon passing an examination upon the subjects of reading, writing, orthogra-
phy, arithmetic, the art of questioning, theory and practice of teaching, and methods,
which certificate shall authorize the bearer to teach in the primary grades of the schools
of the State, not beyond the third grade ; provided, the applicant pass such examination
with an average of eighty-five per cent; provided, that such teacher shall only be author-
ized to teach in a graded school as assistant teacher.

valid only in the county where issued, and valid only until the next regular public exam-
ination held by the county board of examiners for such county. A teacher shall not be
entitled to receive more than two temporary permits in a county, nor shall an applicant
who failed at the last regular public examination held by the board of examiners for
any county be entitled to receive a temporary permit for that or any other county in the
State ; provided, that a fee of two dollars and fifty cents («2.50) for each temporary permit

QUALIFICATIONS OF VOTERS.
The question most frequently referred to this oflicefor adjudication is the one per-
taining to the qualifications of voters at school meetings, hence we have deemed it best
to quote the law in full. The law is easy of application, and it should ever be borne in
mind by all concerned that this, as well as all school law, is mandatory, and hence
should be strictly followed.
The law reaxls as follows :
Section 1. In all school districts in this State now created, or that shall hereafter be
created, any citizen of this State, male or female, married or unmarried, shall be entitled
80
Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction.
to TO teat any HChool election or school meeting^ who la tw&nty-oti€ ye&rs of age, aod Iiil»
resided in the district thirty Ci**0) dftyj* Immed lately preoe^lne the meeting or election,,
and who has property In the district of the value of at least SI 00^ as showu hy the l^st
preceding CO VI nty asaesHraent, upon which ho orFhe 1h required to pay a tax ; provided^
that In districts of leHs than one thousand InhabUant^ wotnim who are widows and male
eitlzene over tweiity-oiie (^l) years of age who have children In the dl«trletof school a^e,
and who shall have resided In the district thirty |30) days, as aforesaid^ shnll l>e entitled
to vote at any gehoot meeting for the election of school dlrGctors or school clerk.
See lion % All school districts In this Htate having a school population of two thou-
sand or over, as shown by the laRt preceding school census, §hall be anhdlvliled into
voting ward(» by the directors of auch district, such ward to conform a.^ near a^i possible
to the clly wards com prised In Us boundaries. The hoard of directors of all such dlfitHets
shall establish at least one polliog^ place la each ward, the judge and clerks of which
shall he qualified clectyors wliljln tlie provisions of this act, ati^ residents of sut^h war^ ;
and each elector shall be required to cast his or her ballot In that ward In which be or
she reside*.
Both husband and wife may vote at a school ineetlng If each pays a tax oti at least
SIOO.
If (he husband only Is taxed and there are children of school age In the family, the
husband only can vote.
Unly legal voters are legal petitioners on pett if ons asking for changes In j^chool dis-
trict boundaries.
In co^ea man niArrles a widow with children and does not adopt said children ercepl
BO far as themarriaij^ may adopt tht^irit who has said children of school age — the mother
or stepfather — as provided for In the tichool law ?
From thedeiiftrtnient*s understanding of the facts in the case submitted, the step-
father voluntarily asipumed the care and support of his stepchildren, and he now occu-
pies the relation of parent to them* If this be so, his liabilities are those of parent to
child, and he should be, and I think la, entitled to the rights of a parent.
SCHOOL DECiaiONS,
From lime to time many questions of a complex nature have haen referred to the
Department of Public Instruction for determination. These questions have come up
from boards of directors, superintendents, teachen*, and others, and in settlement have
required considerable time In the matter of investigation and reseiirch. In many of
these cases we have declined to render decisions unless tliey have been pi-evlously re-
ferred to the county Sfuperhitendenl« for their consideration and decision. In other
instances we have waived this form in order to more readily advance the school interests
by an Immediate decision upon the ditHcuUles presented. Heiow is given an abstract of
the more important decisions rendered by this departmen t.
Ptnalt^/or N^(ma(ien*iaace at Institutes.^ A school board has no authority to deduct
Ave dollars from a teacher's wages for not having attended an institute sixteen hours,
for the reason that the district failed to have that amount apt>ortloned because of such
nonattcudance. The penalty provided by law is loss of wages, and the county superin-
tendent may^ in his discretion, revoke theccrliftcate, reduce thegrade^or refuse tojjrant
a certlflctile, If the nonattendance be without oitusc.
Tax JLevuf^^ Single i'i'ar.— There is no authority of law for a school district to vote a
tax levy to be in effect more than nne year. A levy can not be made upon any aSAess--
ment except that of the year in which ttie levy is voted.
TrartM/erHriff UfiUdren and Vunds,^ Where a child enumerated in one district has
been transferred to an adjoining district, in accordance with subdivision H, page 1^,
School Laws of Oregon, It is the duty of the school board of the first district U* transfer
the school money due by apportionment to such child, and If the board of the flrst dis-
trict i!.hou]d refuse to transfer the money, a mandamus proci^^dlng may be brought either
by the imrent or guardian, or by the board of the second district, to compel payment of
the money to tiie clerk of the adjoining district. In case of transfer of children, the
county school superintendent must apprirtlon the funds to the district according Wt the
last school census, and the money must be transferred afterward hy the district board.
KmployiT^f Tericherii. — Two memlrers, constituting a mnjgrlty of the Hcbool board,.
may employ a teacher before the annual meeting or before the organ! Eailon of the new
Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction, 81
board to serve for the ensuing year. The two members of the board also have the power
to employ a teacher whose term is to commence in September, when the term of one di-
rector expires in June. In other words, the expiration of the term of a director in no
way limits his authority while he is a director.
DiviHon 0/ District — Bonded Deb.t.— Where a school district has a bonded debt and a
part of the territory of the district is made into a new district, or transferred to another
district, the property in the territory transferred is not liable for a tax thereafter levied
for the payment of any portion of the bonded debt. If, however, the change in district
boundaries should impair the security of the bonds, a bondholder might maintain a suit
in equity to obtain relief auainst the new district.
Manual Training in Districts of First Class.— The board of directors in districts of the
first class has authority to prescribe the course of study, and may inclnde manual
training in the course if they so desire.
(^%ange of Boundaries.— Where a school district lies partly in two counties, the dis-
trict boundary board of one county may change the boundaries in that county without
consulting the boundary board of the other county.
Qualifications of Voters.- If otherwise qualified, a resident of a school district may
vote at a school election if he holds a deed to real property in the district, provided the
deed was executed prior to the issuance of the warrant for the collection of taxes.
Chairmanship — A man elected to fill a vacancy upon a school board can not claim the
chairmanship by virtue of the service of his predecessor.
Legality/ of Bonds.— The incorporation of a town within the limits of a school district
of the second or third class in no way affects the rights of pupils residing within or with-
out the boundaries of the incorporated town, hence bonds voted by the district will sub-
ject to taxation all the property in the district, regardless of the town limits.
Use of Draufing Books.— The use of any drawing books other than those regularly
adopted or the use of supplementary drawing, though the books be in the hands of the
teacher only, would be a violation of the text-book law of this State and can not be per-
mitted, as it would destroy uniformity and tend to confusion.
Age Limit for Pcrmits.—A permit can not be granted to any person under the age of
18 years.
Exemption from Examination.- The exemption from examination in branches in
which the applicant has secured a grade of ninety per cent in two successive examina-
tions, as provided in paragraph "a", subdivision 7, page 20, Oregon School Laws of 1903,
does not apply to applicants for second and third grade certificates.

CANAIi OPPOSITION NOT FEARED.
With the construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway assured and a semi-offi-
cial announcement that the Gould interest would extend their system from Salt Lake
to San Francisco, it becomes quite apparent that the Panama canal will encounter
much more rail competition than was expected when it was first proposed. The great-
est inducement held out to the commercial interests of the Atlantic Slope in seeking
support for the canal project was the possibilities it offered for a cheap steamship route
to the Orient. When the canal agitation began to show signs of tangible results, trans-
continental freight rates were very high, and the steamship rates across the Pacific were
still higher, with a very unsatisfactory service. This situation necessitated the routing
of practically all of the business with the Orient by way of the Suez Canal, or by the old
sailing route around the Cape of Good Hope.
As the number of transcontinental railroad lines and trans-Pacific steamers increased
there has been an attendant reduction in freight rates and a heavy proportionate gain
In the rail and steamer route over the old all-water routes. That the railroads exi)ect to
hold at least a portion of this traffic after the canal is completed is plainly shown by the
birildiug of one new line from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and the extension of another
which is not yet an ocean-to-occan route. At the same time it is by no mtons certain
that they can ever compete with the proposed waterway on through west-bound traffic
originating near the Atlantic Coast, or on east-bound freight for distribution near
Atlantic ports. Only by a wild stretch of imagination can we expect any discrimination
to be shown in favor of certain fiags which will engage in the carrying trade through the
106 Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction.
canal to the Far East, and unless there Is discrimination we shall have the carriers of
the world competing for ovir business, and the attendant rates will be so low ttat the
railroads will have difficulty in meeting them.
In time there may be a demand for an express service for passengers and Cast fk^ight
by rail and steamer between this country aud the Orient which will be sufficient to add
materially to the revenues of the many transcontinental lines which will be in the field
for business, but there is not enough of this business at this time to pay any of the lines
engaged. The building of two additional transcontinental lines in the face of certain
competition by water would Indicate that the promoters expect to depend more on the
internal development of the territory traversed than on through business. This, of
course, is an abandonment of the old theory of builders of original transcontinental
roads, which was that business was possible only on the extreme edge of the Pacific
Coast.

work begun In the grammar and public schools and continued in the high schools.
Practically the institution opens its doors to all the sons and daughters of the State,
and to all students, wherever their homes, without discrimination. The broad, helpful
spirit of a real university is seen in its organization and Its provisions for meeting as
many of the needs of the young men and women of the State as possible, provided
only they are prepared for the courses offered.
The University of Oregon was tounded by legislative act in 1872, by which act the
University was located at Eugene. Regular instruction began in 187(j. Eugene is 12S
miles south of Portland, on the Willamette River and at the head of the Willamette
Valley. It is on the direct line of the Southern Pacific railroad. Eugene is the county
seat of Lane County, has 6,500 population, a large high school and excellent grammar

schools. The church and society prtvileges for students are excellent, and the cost of
living is low.
BUILDINGS AND GROUND'SJ.
The University campus is in the southeastern part of Eugene, and covers twenty-
seven acres. It is beautifully situated on rising ground, close by the Willamette River,
with both the Cascade and Coast ranges in full view.
The following buildings are located on the University grounds :
Deady Hail, a tbree-story brick building, with basement. It was erected and pre-
sented by the citizens of Lane County to the State, and named in honor of the late Mat-
thew P. Deady, the first President of the Hoard of Rogenta. It contains the biological
and physical laboratories. It also has the departments of Latin, Greek, French, Ger-
man, and English Literature, together with the halls of the literary societies.
Villard Hall was named in honor of Henry Villard, of New York City, the greatest
benefactor of the University. It is an Imposing cemented brick building, and contains
the offices of the President, tho^Reglstrar. the Steward, the Assembly Hall of the Uni-
versity, the very valuable geological collection, and the departments of Rhetoric and
English, Early English Literature and Oratory, Economics and Sociology, Geology, and
Mathematics.
McClure Hall was built In 1900. It is devoted to the departments of Chemistry and
Mining, and is admirably adapted to its purpose. It has three floors, with laboratory
facilities for 200 students, and contains the latest appliances for research work in all lines
of mining and manufactiiring chemistry. It has hoods and ventilators for carrying off
gases, and conforms in arrangement to the most approved methods in the modern teach-
ing of chemistry. It will contain all the departments of Chemistry and Mining, and
will make possible a great expansion in mining, metallurgy and assaying. The upper
floor for the present is used as class rooms in philosophy and education, in history, psy-
<5hologry, and also for the psychological laboratory.
The Dormatory, a three-story brick building, affords accommodations for about
seventy young men. The rooms are well lighted and ventilated, and will accommodate
two students each. The whole building is heated by steam and lighted by electricity.
Board and rooms range in price from S3.25 to $8.50 per week. Students desiring rooms
are advised to apply at once to the Steward.
The dormitory also contains the general library, the reading rooms, and music rooms.
A new library building, costing $25,000, and a club house for girls, are now under con.
straction. Several thousand dollars are being spent for new books.
Collier Hall, the president's house, is situated upon the part of the campus south of
Thirteenth Street, and is surrounded by grounds covering nine and one-half acres.
The University operates its own electric light and water plants, and gas plant for
flirnishing gas for chemical, physical, and biological laboratories.
The gymnasium is a brick building of fair size, well equipped for indoor athletic
work.
The power plant and hall of engineering was flnished in November, 1901. It contains
the boilers from which all the present buildings on the campus are heated. It also con-
tains the dynamos and appliances of the electric light plant, and the pumping apparatus
for supplying the University with water. The shops, both wood and iron, are located in
this building, as is the forge shop. All the shop work in electrical and mecnanical
engineering is done here, and the facilities In this line are much greater than ever before.
A weather station is located on the campus, from which regular reports are sent to
the chief weather observer at Portland.
GENEBAIi INFORMATION.
The University year consists of forty weeks, beginning in 1906 on Wednesday, the
28th of September. Commencement day occurs on Wednesday, June 26, 1907. The year
is divided into two semesters of twenty weeks each.
KEQI.STKATION.
students are requested to present themselves immediately upon arrival at the office
of the Registrar, in Villard Hall, for the purpose of registration. By a rule of the board
of regents, no student can register without having first paid the Incidental fee. Students
will register for the number of hours re(iuired In their course or group.
116 Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction.
TUITION AND FEES.
There is no tuition at the University of Oregon. The incidental fee, payable each,
year by students in all departments of the University, is SIO. There is also stadent4>ody
tax of 15 per year for the support of student enterprises. The fees in the School of Music
vary with the instruction.
A diploma fee of $10 is charged for the first degree taken, and of $10 for each saooeed-
ing degree. The rules prescribe that no person shall be recommended for a degree untiL
he has paid all dues, including the diploma fee.
LABORATORY FEES.
In all laboratory courses, in whatever department, a deposit is required to cover
waste and breakage. At the end of the year the balance of the deposit, over and above-
waste and breakage, will be returned to the student. The amount of the deposit varies-
according to the courses taken.
EXPENSES.
The expenses for one person for a year vary according to the circumstances of the-
case, but in general are very low. The following estimate is probably substantially ac-
curate : Room, from 50 cents to 11.50 per week ; board from 12.50 to $1 per week ; board
and room In men's dormitory, $3.25 to $3.75 per week; books from $5 to $12 per year.
Many students rent rooms and do light housekeeping, thus reducing the cost of living
to a very low point. A fair estimate of the yearly expense of those who hire lodging^
and board, either in the dormitory or outside, is $175 to $250 per year. For those who do-
light housekeeping the cost is matei'ially less.
Parents expecting to come to Eugene to live while their children attend the Uni-
versity, or expecting to send members of their families to rent rooms to do light house-
keeping, are invited to address the President of the University or the Dean of the Ck>llege
of Literature, Science, and the Arts, or the Dean of Women, who will render all the as-
sistance possible.

**The leading object shall be, without excluding other scientific and classical studies,
and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agri-
culture and the mechanic arts, in such manner as the legislature of the State may pre-
scribe, in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial eta^es in the
several pursuits and professions of life.**
Based upon a broad foundation, the special work of the Oregon Agricultural College
is the training of youth in those branches of learning which lie at the foundation of
modern industrial pursuits.

PURPOSE OF THE NORMAL SCHOOL.
The purpose of the Normal School is exclusively that of training teachers for service
in the public schools of the State. Many years of experience have fdlly demonstrated
that a State must depend on its Normal School system for an adequate supply of
competent teachers. Teaching is a profession, demanding technical training, as well as
thorough academic preparation.
The subject-matter of a carefully prepared course of study is most thoroughly and
systematically taught; but school management and methods of teaching constitute the
prominent and distinctive features of the Normal School. In the high school and
<;ollege the studies are pursued from the standpoint of the learner, whereas in the
Normal School a twofold view of the subject is obtained, viz.: Prom the standpoint of
the learner, and from the standpoint of the teacher. In the professional classes a careful
study is made of the Theory and Art of Education. Psycholo y, the History and Philos-
ophy of Education, School Economy, and General and Special Method constitute the
subjects of these classes.
The Training Department affords the opportunity of putting into practice the princi-
ples and methods learned, as well as of testing the teaching power of the student-teacher.
Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction. 125
A half year of actual teachlDs, ander the sapervlsion of critic teachers, is of the sr^eatest
value In giving accurate knowledge of the details of work and forming correct standards
of schoolroom discipline and development.
HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL.
The State Normal School at Monmouth has now been in operation a period of twenty-
four years. The bill creating the school and empowering it to grant State diplomas
passed the legislature at the session of 18S3; bat it was not until the session of 1891 that
the property was taken under the control of the State and a Board of Regents appointed
to manage the school for the State. The first appropriation of money for the school's
support was made in 1803. Subsequent appropriations have placed additional means of
advancement in the hands of the regents, and the school is now enabled to offer the best
fiBkcilities for the training of teachers.
The normal graduates are filling various Important positions in the schools of this
and other States, and their expert service is a stronger argument for more liberal sup>
port than words many times multiplied. Graduates of the four-year course are freely
admitted to full standing in the State of Washington.
BUILDINGS AND IMPROVEMENTS.
The normal building is a fine brick structure, especially designed for the work of the
Normal School. The original plan has recently, been completed by the erection of a
north wing, for which purpose the legislature made an appropriation of $10,000 at the
session of 1809. The building is well heated throughout. The completed building con-
tains twenty-four good working rooms and is well equipped and convenient for school
use. An additional appropriation of S2,500 in 1908 for repairs and improvements has
enabled the authorities to add still further to the excellent facilities for normal work.
The gymnasium is a large frame structure, well equipped with hot and cold baths,
dressing rooms, and a good sized floor suitable for instruction purposes and the playing
of games such as basket ball, indoor base ball and the like.
The sloyd building is small, but serves the purpose temporarily for Instruction in
manual training, including card board and wood sloyd, cooking, basket weaving, sew-
ing, etc.
The dining hall is the remaining building in use by the Normal School and accom-
modates about 50 students for table board. There are a limited number of living rooms.
THE TRAINING DEPARTMENT.
By an arrangement with the board of directors of the Monmouth public school, the
privilege of teaching in the school, under the supervision of critic teachers, is granted
the members of the graduating class. The school comprises nine grades, with about two
hundred children In attendance. The work of the past year has been highly successful.
Each member of the senior class is required to teach twenty weeks, three hours each
day. Thorough preparation in both general and special n\ethods occupies the twenty
weeks preparatory to teaching. This work proves invaluable to teachers who are am-
bitious to win a high place in their profession. The plan is the one pursued by the best
normal schools of this country and of Euroi^e.
Especial attention is called to the opportunity of securing training in the work of the
ninth grade, or first year of the State high school course.
WORK IN COUNTRY SCHOOLS.
The work of country schools receives special attention. By agreement with the
directors of the Ck^chrane district school, near Monmouth, the school is made one of
demonstration of methods, under the supervision of tlic principal of the training depart-
ment. The classification for country schools, issued by the State Board of Education,
Ismade the basis of work, and training is given in the making and use of a practical
and economical daily programme. Too much stress cannot be laid on the preparation
of good teachers for the country districts.
126 Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction.
MANUAL TRAINING.
Manual training is a regular part of the normal course, and the work is practically
demonstrated In the training department. The value of manual training in the public
schools is beyond question. Not only is it valuable as a means of education, bat it also
steadily emphasizes the worth and dignity of labor, and so develops an industrious, re-
soun^ful, self-respecting type of character. Most of oar boys and girls will certainly in
some way work with their hands ; they sliould be trained in the schools toward working
skillfully and contentedly. The purpose of the department is to prepare teachers to give
this training. A large, well-equipped workshop affords the opportunity of both doing
the work and seeing it done by others.
«ENEBAIi INFORMATION.
Normal Dining //aW.— Cheap boarding at the Dining Hall has proved very attractive
to many students during the past six years. Good table board is furnished at 12 per
week to those who pay for one term in advance. Unfurnished rooms cost 25 cents per
week for each student when two occupy the same room. Furnished rooms may be had
nt prices ranging from 75 cents to $1 per week.
Students may now reduce the cost of living .to from S2.50 to $8 per week and live well.
Those who prefer to keep house for themselves can live somewhat cheaper still.
Apparatus.— The school has a good supply of apparatus for illustrating the physical
and natural sciences. Students are taught how to make simple apparatus for use in the
schoolroom.
Library.— yiany new books and periodicals have been added to the library and read-
ing room, and it is the intention of the Board of Regents to inrcease the effectiveness of
the library as rapidly as possible. All the leading magazines are placed on the reading
table, and students are encouraged to use them freely.
Societies.— There are three literary societies actively at work ; the Normal for young
men, and the Vespertine and Invincible for ladies. The literary societies offer the most
effective and practical means of literary and elocutionary culture. A careful study aud
a systematic application of the various rules of order applicable to public and forensic
gatherings was made during the past winter. This resulted in a maximum amount of
good to those engaged in the society work.
The Young Men's Christian Association and the Young Women's Christian Associa-
tion have done much active work during the year.
Teachers Furnished.— School directors and others desiring teachers should address
the president. The school has already supplied a large number of districts with trained
teachers, whose success in managing and teaching their schools speaks more for the
value of the training they have received in the normal than any words could do. Great
care is taken to recommend only such as are prepared to do good work.
}V7ien to JCnter.— Students can enter at any time during the term, but it is much bel-
ter to enroll on the first day of a term. The very best time is on the first day of the first
term. Those who are a week or two behind have lost greatly. Try to be prompt in en-
tering.
NORMAL SCHOOL BAND.
For several years a students' band has been maintained, under the efiacient leader-
ship of Mr. Burns Powell. Students owning band Instruments are invited to bring
them with them. No charge is made for instruction.
INTKR-SCHOLASTIC RELATIONS.
The student organizations, athletic and literary, meet similar organizations from
other schools in friendly rivalry from time to time. The State Normal was represented
the past year by football, base ball and basket ball teams.
DIVISIONS OF THE COURSE.
The Board of Regents, at a special session held in Salem, June 8, 1904, provided for
two courses of study, one of throe years and the other of four years above the Freshman
year. In addition, there is provided, as heretofore, a preparatory or sub-normal year,
differing somewhat in the two courses as shown in the schedules.
Jteport of Superintendent of Public Instruction. 127
THE SUB-NORMAIi COURSE.
Thoroughness of preparation in the common school subjects is essential for those
who expect to teach in the public schools. Many students desire to review these subjects
before entering? on the regular normal course. Graduates of high schools or ot colleges,
whose high school and collegiate grades are accepted, are urgently advised to spend at
least a half year in this department before undertaking the work of the Senior year.
Teachers desiring to prepare for the county examination will find this course of ser-
vice. The classes in psychology and methods are open to such as are ready to profit by
them.
THE NORMAL COURSES.
As will be noticed, the four years' or advanced course extends the instruction in
English, the sciences, mathematics, and provides for two years of Latin. Graduates
from this course wifl be admitted to full Freshman standing at the State University,
and will also receive recognition in several States that issue teachers' certiUcates to
Normal School graduates. It also offers better training for principals and teachers of
high school subjects.
COURSE FOR HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES.
This course, which Is Intended primarily for graduates of high schools and acad-
emies, Is open to any one qualified to enter. It covers a period of two years and the time
is chiefly devoted to professional work and teaching in the Training Department. Special
attention is given also to general and special methods as well as to school management.

HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL.
The Eastern Oregon Sta,te Normal School was established by an act of legislature
approved February 26, 1885. Through the liberal appropriations received from the State
this school has been able to secure buildings and equipment which furnish all the
material conditions necessary for highly efficient work. The value of the entire plant,
including buildings and furnishings, is about $65,000.
Already one hundred and twenty-six graduates have gone out from the school into
schools of this and other States, and are filling important positions in all grades of
educational work.
In 1901 an appropriation was made by the State legislature for a new normal school
building, which was completed and occupied in 1902. The following year the hullding
was furnished throughout and the grounds extensively Improved. The Normal School
being the only State educational institution In Eastern Oregon makes it a very Im-
portant educational center of this part of the State.
LOCATION.
The Normal School is located upon a commandlnor site in the center of Weston,
Umatilla County. The grounds Include a broad tract of land extending from the foot-
hills of the Blue Mountains to a mountain stream which flows through the valley in
which the town is located.
Its elevation of 1,800 feet above the sea level, its proximity to the mountains, its pure
water brought to the town from springs in the foothills, and its freedom from allure-
ments and excitement of more populous cities render this a most delightful, healthful,
and desirable location for a school of this kind.
NeArly $1,300 have been expended in grading the grounds and laying concrete walks.
The slope upon which the Normal School building Is located is particularly favorable
to beautiful eflects in landscape gardening. The grounds are graded from the normal
building in three terraces, which include the street formerly separating the dormitory
Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction, 131
irrounds and those on which the school building is situated, thus making a unit of the
grounds and indadlngall the buildings in our tract. One of the most beautiful views
of the grounds is that from Broad Street in a line with the walk extending over the
terraces and including the small secondary terrace directly in front of the porch.
BUILDINGS
The buildings are four in number and include the school building, the young
somen's boarding hall, the president's cottage, and a building containing the gymnas-
ium, the young men's dormitory, sloyd rooms, and rooms for the department of
•domestic science.
The school building is a fine modern brick structure with sandstone trimmings.
It is heated by steam and is provided with a good ventilating system. It has three
stories and a basement, and is eighty-four feet in length with a depth of seventy-two
feet. The basement contains a physical and a chemical laboratory, connecting with a
lecture room, a primary and kindergarten room, a young women's gymnasium, furnace
room, and lavatories. The first floor contains a corridor extending the entire length of
the building. From this open the rooms of the training school and the reception room.
The president's ofi^ce is also on this floor. On the second floor are recitation rooms, a
large chapel or assembly room, a^d the library. Two society halls and recitation rooms
occupy the third floor. The ladies' hall is a substantial wooden structure and contains
•dining room accomodations for the students and the teachers connected with the
school, reception room, matron's room, bath rooms, and rooms in the dormitory for
About forty young women. In the spacious parlors are held many social functions
participated in by the faculty, students, and people of the town.
The building formerly occupied by the Normal School is a two-story brick structure
with a wooden ell. It has been remodeled to provide dormitory accomodations for
young men on the second floor, and a gymnasium with bath rooms, sloyd rooms, and
rooms for the department of domestic science on the flrst floor.
PURPOSE OF THE NORMAL SCHOOL.
The Normal School .Is supported by the State as a recognized part of the public
school system. In order that better teachers may be available for teaching in the public
schools of the State. Its purpose is to inspire the student with the spirit of the true
teacher, to provide facilities for the educational study of the subjects of the public
school curriculum, to lead him to discover the principles and aims of education, and to
furnish the opportunity for application of the principles thus derived in a well organ-
ized training school.
The Normal School can better promote the educational interests of the State through
the quality of the work performed, and through the attainments and the professional
spirit of its graduates than through mere multiplicity of numbers.
Young people who have the necessary educational qualiflcations, who have a well-
•defined purpose to teach in the public schools of Oregon, and who have a fair conception
of the responsibilities and obligations of the teacher's calling are most cordially wel-
•comed as students, and are earnestly advised to avail themselves of the advantages
oflTered by the Normal School.
COURSE OF STUDY.
The course of study is designed, primarily, for those who intend to become teachers
in the public schools of the State, and includes all the work necessary to give thorough
preparation for positions as grade teachers, teachers in high schools, or as principals of
public schools. The course includes the educational study of the following subjects for
knowledge of the subjects, the methods of teaching, and the educational advantage-s of
each:

Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction. 133
The addition of grades to the common school coarse In the majority of town schools
•and the organization of county high schools have created a demand for tetichers of
jnore extended preparation than that provided for in the three years' course.
To meet that demand another year's work has this year been added to the course of
«tudy thus providing for two distinct courses, one having for its object the preparation
•of teachers for primary and grammar school work, and the other the preparation of
•teachers for i>ositions in high schools.
PliAN OF COURSE OF STUDY.
Both courses include the educational study of common school subjects, with a view
of teaching them In the public schools of the State. They also include systemetic obser-
vation of the teaching of the elements of those subjects in the training school whose
4»cientiflc study is the subject ot the work in the Normal School.
The additional work of the four years' course includes Latin, a modern language,
Advanced work in Mathematics and Science. In both courses the Senior Year is devoted
iargely to professional work. In the first half of the year, Psychology, the History and
the Philosophy of Education, and Methods of Teaching are studied. The second half of
the year is given to teaching in the training school. Each teacher is engaged one-half
•day in actual teaching, and the other half day in the preparation of lessons for teach-
ing under the direction of the Normal School department teachers.
SPECIAL COURSES.
Mantuzl Traininflr.— Manual Training is rapidly becoming a recognized part of our
public school system. Various forms of this work have been successfully introduced
Into a large number of schools in this and other States.
It is incumbent upon the normal schools of the State, because of the relation which
they hold to the schools of the State, that they not only meet the demands of the public
schools, but that they anticipate them by demonstrating the educational value of every
•department of public school work, and by educating teachers who can intelligently and*
skillfully give the training that is most progressive and of greatest value.
Good facilities for manual training have been provided in one of the school build-
ings, and full sets of tools for wood and cardboard sloyd have been secured.
Since the aim of manual training is to train the hand in order that it may express
the ideas of the mind, that work which is designed to call for the greatest variety of
•exercises, has been chosen.
In the training school two periods each week are devoted to wood sloyd. The
«tudent teachers work with the children under the supervision of the instructor of the
•department.
Domestic Science.— To understand the conditions under which the child can work
and develop physically most advantageously, the teacher must have a knowledge of
those subjects most closely connected with the nutrition and care of the human body.
For this purpose the course in Domestic Science combines theoretical and practical
^work in the preparation of foods, including marketing and serving, home sanitation,
and school hygiene.
In all this work the thought is kept constantly before the student teacher that the
function of the school is to fit the child for complete living.
Xindergarten.^The work is intended to give a knowledge of the principles and the
practice of the kindergarten as related to the primary school ; of kindergarten material,
its value and place in educational work ; of songs and games, and through them a
Jknowledge of Froebel's interpretation of child nature.
A large collection of kindergarten material collected In different countries of Europe
and America is used in Illustrating this work.
A general survey Is made of appropriate literature for little children, Including folk
lore and fairy tales, history stories, nature stories, fables, and poems.
The student in this work, is led to discover the principles underlying the selection
and presentation of stories for children.
Music—A special course of lectures designed to familiarize the student with the
lives of eminent composers, their works, and the development of musical forms is given
in assembly exercises to the school as a whole. These lectures are illustrated by voice
and piano.
134 Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction.
Interpretation.-' &taind&r6. compositions are frequently played and analyzed for thfr
students that they may gain familiarity with the best types, and cultivate a taste for
good music. Selections from symphonies, sonatas, oratorios, and operas furnish mate-
rial for much of this work.
Instrumental JbTimc— Believing that a teacher's usefulness in the schoolroom and
as a social factor is very much increased through a knowledge of instrumental music,
opportunity is offered the student to continue work begun before entering school or to
begin the study here. Instrumental music is not a part of the regular course. On the
other band, its value is so great and its advantages are so niany that Instruction has-
been provided for at reasonable rates.
Physical Education.— A well-equipped gymnasium has recently been added to the
facilities of the school.
Regular work under the supervision of a skilled instructor is given to promote the
health of the student and to fit them to teach gymnastics in the public schools.
In connection with this work a special study is made in the kindergarten of the
active games of children, that the play instinct of the child may be better understood
and directed.
TRAINING SCHOOL.
The training school is under the general supervision of the president of the Normal
School, and the special supervision of the heads of the various departments of the-
Normal School, who advise with the critic teachers in charge of the grades regarding:
the course of study and the teaching of special subjects. Uniformity of method and^
careful selection of subject-matter is thus secured.
The training school furnishes an opportunity to the normal student to apply results
gained in the study of the common branches, and in the study of the principles of edu-
cation and methods of teaching.
EXPENSES.
Tuition for all required courses is free. Board is furnished at cost, which averages^
about $2.50 per week. A charge of seventy-five cents per week to cover cost of beat-
ing and lighting is made for all students boarding in thehall^ except when two students
occupy one room, fifty cents Is charged each occupant.
An incidental fee of $2.5Q is payable at the beginning and middle of each term.
Matriculation fee of $5 is payable once each year.
Piano lessons, fifty cents each. Use of piano is free to those receiving instruction inu
instrumental music.
Laboratory fees cover cost of material used.

OBJECTS AND AIMS OF THE NORMAL SCHOOL.
The exclusive purpose of the Normal School is the training of teachers. Vast sams
Of money are expended in maintaining public schools. As the teacher is, will the school
be. If poor teachers are in charge of our common schools they are ineffective. To render
the vast sums of money expended operative trained teachers must be available. The
older States of the Union train the teachers for the public schools. The University £n:%d-
uate seldom follows public school teaching for a profession. The high schools of the
State are few in number and are engaged chiefly in preparing students for business or
for the University. But few teachers can come from the high schools and the colleges.
Persons graduated alone from the eighth grade of the public schools can not, should not
teach. A fountain can ndt rise higher than its source. The State requires 800 new teach-
ers every year. Immigration may supply a few of these but in order to supply the de-
mand for good teachers it would seem that the State will And it necessary to engage in
the business of educating teachers. The older States of the Union have solved the prob-
lem by providing and maintaining normal schools for the education and training of
tfeachers.
Teaching is a fine art and requires technical training. The normal school teaches
the history and philosophy of education, school management, school economy, psy-
chology, general methods and special methods of teaching the several branches. The
normal school maintains a training school of nine grades where the student teacher is
given practice in the art of teaching under the instruclion and guidance of supervisors
and critics. Three hundred hours of teaching in the training school are required. The
student first learns subject-matter from an academic standpoint and then proceeds
to impart to others and to develop in others the knowledge, power and skill that he
has himself acquired. It has passed into an adage recognized in law that this 300 hours
teaching in the training school is at least the equivalent of six years of teaching in
the public schools without this previous training. Thirty-five States of the Union have
established normal schools and have gradually increased the equipment and many of
them have added to the number of their schools until it has become a settled policy to
maintain a sufflcient number of normal schools at a high maximum of efiiciency. In-
deed some of the States, as Wisconsin and Michigan in addition to the State normal
schools have authorized the creation of county normal schools in order to make the
supply of good teachers equal to the demand for them. It will thus be seen that the
general tendency throughout the Union is toward a greater number of normal schools
with increased maintenance for each existing institution.
Dr. Sheldon in summarizing the results of his investigations states in effect that a
normal school of two hundred to three hundred students with a half hundred graduates
is the most effective institution. The State of Iowa has a single normal school. It is
found that its small training facilities are entirely inadequate to the needs of the large
graduating classes of some four hundred students, and the training school features of
this institution are of little consequence; and while the faculty and the professional
course of the Cedar Falls Normal School are not surpassed in the Union the school as a
whole lacks that effectiveness In preparing teachers that smaller schools possess.
The State Normal School at Ashland was organized in 1882 by legislative enactment.
In 1895 the school moved into its new building on the boulevard. In 1908 the present ad-
ministration building was erected, together with the gymnasium building now in use.
These buildings cost $8,000, this sum being appropriated by the legislature at that year's
session. The buildings of the normal school are worth $30,000. There are two dormi-
tories on the grounds. The laboratory of the physical and chemical departments has
received additions from time to time but is needing some substantial additions, although
the students and teachers are adding physical apparatus each year.
The library contains 1,500 volumes of well selected books exclusive of departm^ntal
reports. The library in general, and books for use in the various departments of the
school should be increased.
Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction, 137
THE TRAINING DEPARTMENT.
The training department of the State Normal School consists of the pupils who come
to the Normal from choice to do grammar school work. Nine grades of 120 pupils con-
stitute the training school. This department is presided over by Miss Armeda Kaiser of
8an Jose Normal and Berkeley University, and Mrs. Emma B. Wlckersham of Oswego,
N. Y. flach cadet teacher teaches with approved success three hundred hours as a con-
dition precedent to graduation. Teaching in the training school is based upon a thor-
ough knowledge of the several professional subjects acquired before entering the training
school.
A course in manual training is being maintained which embraces elementary agri-
culture.
Preparation for teaching in the country schools receives a large share of the time and
attention of the institution and with the Bellview school of forty pupils near at hand
facilities for experience in this line will not be wanting. Many of our teachers begin their
teaching in the country schools and this line of work can not be too much emphasized.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS.
1. Graduates from the eighth grade of the public schools are admitted.
2. Persons holding county and State teachers' certificates are admitted without ex-
amination.
3. Grades made at other schools may be accepted at discretion.
GRADUATION.
The act creating the school requires a year's attendance at the normal, and an exam-
ination approved by the State Board, and satisfactory experience in tetiching. The
diploma authorizes the holder to' teach in the schools of the State five years upon pass-
ing the examination required for a State certificate. At the end of this five years the
holder is entitled to life paper, without further examination ; provided^ such shall have
taught thirty months in the schools of the State.
The cost of living at the normal is now established at $2.75 per week for both board
and lodging, the price of board being $2.25 per week, and of furnished rooms 50 cents per
week. Last year 66 students lived at the dormitories at the above-named expense. The
cost of attending the normal a year is commonly $120 to $140 per year, when books and
incidentals are included, together with the $25 tuition charged.
SOCIETIES.
Two literary societies are maintained where each student is required to do a specified
amount and character of work. An oratorical society of twenty-five young men, in
addition, did good work the entire year. Each year the literary societies for a time con-
vert their organizations into legislative house and senate for parliamentary drill. Here
the rules and usages of the legislature are conformed to, and the student studies legisla-
tion and civil government at short range.
Vocal music is taught as a required subject. The school owns two pianos, and a
large proportion of the students are engaging in regular piano practice.
PHYSICAL CULTURE.
The gryninasium is well equipped, and each student of the school engages in gymna-
sium work under careful guidance.
COMMERCIAL LAW.
Ck>mmercial law and the chapters of the Oregon Code relating to contracts are taught.
DRAWING AND WRITING.
Drawing is required and every student in the institution takes penmanship until
such is deemed a good penman.

SOME STATISTICS.
The graduating class of last year numbered thirty-four, thirty of whom are now
teaching, (October 1st.) The number of counties represented in last year's enrollment
was nineteen. Total enrollment, 207 ; male 85, female 122. Total number enrolled in the
training school, 109.
It may be interesting to note that of the enrollment of last year a canvass shows
that 85 per cent of them would not have attended any institution of secondary learning
had the State Normal School at Ashland not existed, and that but 50 per cent of them
would attend school elsewhere should this school cease to exist. The field occupied by
this instituiion is unique and very large, being 350 by 120 miles in extent. The school is
doiqg a work that must be done and which no other institution can do.
NOT A liOCAIi HIGH SCHOOL.
The State Normal School at Ashland is not a local High School in any sense. The
City of Ashland maintains its own High School in buildings costing $30,000, and a strong
corps of teachers. The attendance in the Ashland High School last year was more than
100 students. The students of the Normal School come from the various counties of
Southern Oregon, and the work done is all contributory to professional training of
teachers.
Some thirty students from Willamette Valley counties attended the school last year,
but its chief reliance for patronage is upon the southern counties of the State, and the
teaching of the public schools of Southern Oregon is being largely done by the graduates
of this school.
The appropriation made at the last session of the legislature for the maintenance of
the school for the two succeeding years amounted to 931,000. By January Ist this entire
sum will have been expended along the liubs of the itemized appropriation bill. This
sum of money again appropriated will enable the regents to put into effect their plans
for increasing the course of study and advancing the entrance requirements, adding
substantially to the faculty and thus place this institution unquestionably at a par with
the best Normal schools In the country.

REPORT OF THE CENTRAL OREGON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.
Notwithstanding the financial troubles during the past year, the Central Oregon
filiate Normal School doubled its enrollment, a class of fifteen completed a five years'
•course, and thirty-six completed the two years' teachers' review course, and of the fifty-
one, forty-seven are at work in the schoolroom.
The prospects for the coming year are as bright as for the year J ust closed. The build-
ing has been thoroughly repaired, an addition of seven rooms added, a good physical and
chemical laboratory installed, and a very excellent working library supplied.
The courses of study have been revised and strengthened so that they will meet th.e
demands of not only our grammar, but also our public high schools, and from this
advanced work we will have a class of twenty-three to graduate in June, 1907. Work is
being planned along the line of agriculture, as suggested by our State Superintendent of
Public Instruction, so that our teachers may take up the work as they go into our public
schools. Four additional teachers have been added to the faculty, made necessary by the
rapid growth of the school. Knowing the great value of music in the schoolroom, a reg-
ular course in music and methods of teaching the same has been made a part of our reg-
ular work. A training school of about one hundred and eighty pupils has been placed
directly in the hands of the school, thus the student teacher is conft-onted with the con-
ditions, much as they exist in the public schools.

144 Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction.
In conipllanco with tbe demand for and necessity of a reform Khool for boys, the
8tate legislature passed a law at tbe session of 1889 establishing this school.
Tbe Oregon State Reform School was opened for the reception of boys November 5,
1K91, and up to tbe present time has been under the supervision of the following super-
intendents : B. J. Miles, M. W. Smith, R. J. Hendricks, £. M. Crolsan, H. E. Bickers, and
N. H. Looney.
Since the school has been in existence there have been six hundred and sixty-eight^
boys committed to the care of this institution, many of whom have been paroled and are
out in the world earning their own living, and are doing well and making law abiding
citizens. Seventy-one were released during tbe biennial term Just closing, and none of
them have been returned to tbe care of the school. Two who were feeble minded were
sent to the asylum, and two others to the State prison after they left here. The other
sixty-seven are doing very well as far as known.
It would seem advisable to build or purchase property to be used for the purpose of a
girl's reformatory, as many applications are made every year for a home to place way-
ward and delinquent girls in, and although the State law provides for such a home, the
legislature has not as yet made any appropriation therefor. The coming session will
probably have an opportunity to vote upon such an appropriation.
During the past two years the school has bad an average of one hundred and twenty-
enrolled on its books. Through a change in the law governing commitments, and a
general misunderstanding of the intents and purposes of this institution the enrollment
has not been as large as it should be. Many consider the Reform School a place of pun>
ishment for crimes committed by youths too young to be sent to the penitentiary, when
the real object is to help boys, especially tho«e without homes and suitable surround-
ings, to form good habits; and to educate them during the time their characters are
being developed. While there are some boys here who are vicious and immoral, the
majority are those who have been unfortunate In having been deprived of proper home
influences, and have not been compelled to make the most of their school privileges.
The family history of the majority of these youths would appeal to the sympathy of
every true man or woman.
It would be well to change the name of this institution from Reform School to State
Industrial School, or something of that nature, and It is to be desired that the next
session of the legislature consider this matter, for to many the present name is a stigma
of disgrace when applied to youths whose characters are not ye» formed. It is not the
intention of the State of Oregon to brand the boys, when what they need is help and
encouragement. Praise and courtesy shown these youths helps them, and it should be
the aim of all with whom they come in contact to advise instead of distrusting and
criticising.
It has been the effort of the management to see that the boys should have, as often,
as possible, a short lecture by some practical business man. They have been entertained
on various occasions by ministers, musicians, professors from the Oregon Agricultural
College, railroad men, scientific farmers, and others. These lectures are greatly enjoyed,
and appreciated by the boys, and they are attentive listeners.
The band is an especial feature of the school, and the boys make good progress.
There are now twenty-eight in the band, eighteen of whom are quite proficient in music
They have played at several public gatherings this summer, and furnished music at
Gladstone Park July 4th.
LOCATION.
The Oregon State Reform School Is located five miles south of Salem on the Southern
Pacific Railroad. Trains stop for passengers. The school is a fine place for boys ; takingr
them away from the temptations and evils of city life, giving them plenty of outdoor
exercise, and the fresh air and the advantages of the country. The main buildings are
picturesquely situated, overlooking the valley to the north and south, and plentifully
supplied with pure spring water.
The boys are divided into two families, and the younger boys are separated from the
older ones as much as possible. All are treated with kindness and consideration, every-
thing being done to promote their welfare and happiness.
Convict labor has been employed In repairing and improvinsr the road from Salem
to the State Reform School, and we have now one of the finest thoroughfares in the
State, adding greatly to the attractiveness of the surroundings of the State buildings.
Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction, 145
VISITORS.
Parents and friends will be allowed to visit the boys. No person or friend visiting the
institution will be entertained more than one night without the written permission of
one of the board of directors.
Visitors wishing to look through the buildings or investigate the workings of the
school, will be shown through on week days between the hours of 9 A. m. and 4 p. m., and
on Sundays for the purpose of attendiiig religious exercises only.
LETTERS.
Once a month boys write to parents or friends at the State's expense. They may
write twice a month if furnished with stamps and writing materials by their relatives.
Letters and presents intended for the boys must pass through the hands of the
superintendent.
FUNDS.
Money and stamps sent to the boys are deposited with the superintendent and paid
out under his direction, all shopping for the boys being done by the superintendent or
matron.
• SICKNESS.
A good physician and nurse are connected with the institution. If a boj' becomes
seriously ill his parents are notifled, and they may come and remain with him until the
danger is past. In case of a boy's death his parents will be notifled and requested to
direct what disposition is to be made of the body. If such direction is not soon received,
the body will be buried in the school cemetery.
If for any cause, such as sickness or death, parents or friends should desire a boy
sent home, they must send a responsible otHcer after him, and such officer must guar-
antee his safe return without expense to the school; or they must send with request
sufficient-means, and an officer of the school will attend the boy home and return him.
WHAT HERE FOR.
This is not a penal Institution. The boys are not here to be punished for bad conduct
before their commitment. They are here to be taught habits of industry, and to be
Improved morally, mentally, and physically— to be transformed into good, self-support-
ing and useful citizens.
The boys committed here are, as a rule, youths who have been deprived of the proper
training and care of a well-disciplined home, many of them never having known the
care of a mother.
THE GRADED SYSTEM.
At the beginning of the first month after a boy enters the school he starts on grade I.
He must earn twelve grades to entitle him to leave of absence or parol. A perfect
month's record is marked 100. His standing must not be less than 75 to secure grades I,
II, III, and IV ; then 85 to secure grades V, VI, \'II, and VIII ; then 90 to secure grades
IX and X ; then 95 to secure grade XI, and 100 to secure grade XII. Falling below the
required standing for any month, the boy starts on the same grade at the beginning of
the following one. If a boy escapes or attempts to escape, he forfeits all grades earned.
Boys on parol must report on the first of each month the first year, and every three
months thereafter.
COMMITMENT.
To be committed to the Reform School a boy must be found guilty of an ofl^ense pun-
ishable under the State law, and be ordered committed to the institution by a court hav-
ing Jurisdiction of the person and otfense. He must be committed by acircultor county
Judge upon the affidavit of parent, guardian, or next of kin, certifying that the boy is
incorrigible and beyond control.
NO DEFINITE SENTENCE.
Boys are not sentenced for a definite time. Upon being committed here they become
wards of the State until twenty-one years of age. Parents, guardians, and relatives lose
absolutely all control of them. They are placed entirely upon their own resources.
Their stay here will depend entirely upon their own conduct and efforts. They may be
Supt. Pub Ins. 10
146 Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction.
puroled, an will bo seen above, after twelve monthH of good conduct. Tbey may prolong
their stay by bad conduct until they shall have become twenty-one years of a^e. Boys
are committed here between the ages of ten and sixteen only.
SCHOOLS.
Every boy in the institution Ik ro<iulred to attend school nine months In the year.
June, July, and Augst are vacation months. Boys attend school half of each day and
work the other half. Those who attend school in the forenoon work In the afternoon,
and those who attend school in the afternoon work in the forenoon. The schools are
taught by faithful, competent teachers, and the boys make commendable progress in
their studies.
INDUSTRIAIi EDUCATION.
The State Reform School for boys aims to furnish every boy with industrial or agri.
cultural employment suited to his age and capacity, and to teach bim habits of indnstry
and thrift. Nearly all the boys are profitably employed at the various occupations nec-
essary to the proper management of the institution, and they learn to do many different
kinds of work, which can not fail to be an advantage to them in afterlife. Some boys
work on the farm and arc employed in caring for a large stock of horses, cows, and
swine. The boys are also taught the following trades: Blacksmi thing, carpentering,
painting, baking, tailoring, shoemaking, housekeeping, cooking, and engineering. This
develops skill of hand and eye, and incidentally lays the foundation of a good trade
w hich they would not acquire while in privat-e families.
RELIGIOUS SERVICES.
Rev. E. W. St. Pierre conducts the religious services, doing missionary work under
the auspices of the American Sunday School Union. He is ably assisted by the teachers
and officers here. We are always pleased to receive visits from ministers of any denom-
ination.
Sunday school is at 11 A. m. Religious exercises at 7:15 p. m. each Thursday and Sun-
day.
RECREATION.
The boys are offered am pie opportunity for wholesome recreation. Gkxxl play grounds
are provided for their outdoor games and sports, and the recreation hours indoors are
enlivened with stories, literature, music, military drill, etc. Saturday is a half-holiday.
National holidays are observed with appropriate exercises.
IN GENERAL.
We have telephone connection with all parts of the State having such flEUSilities.
Officers bringing boys on late trains may remain at the school one night.
PORTION OF REFORM SCHOOL LAW.
Section 3639. Whenever any boy or girl between the ages of ten and sixteen years,
shall be convicted before any court of competent Jurisdiction of any crime which, com-
mitted by any adult, would be punishable by imprisonment in the county Jail or peni.
tentiary, the judge of such court shall forthwith cause a certificate of such conviction to
be prepared, under the seal of the said court, if it have a seal, or under the name of the
judge if it have none, and cause the same to be forthwith transmitted to the county
judge in the county in which such conviction is had. The county judge shall thereupon
commit, by order, such juvenile offender to the State Reform School; provided, that
when the crime for which such conviction is had is punishable by imprisonment in the
county jail, the court may, in the exercise of its discretion, commit said offender to the
county Jail for the time autiiorlzed by law for the punishment of the offense for which
the offender is convicted ; and provided further^ that nothing In this act shall be constraed
to debar any circuit court or county court from punishing any capital offense in such
manner as is or may be provided by law; provided further , thatany county court in this
State shall have Jurisdiction in committing boys and girls to the Reform School, and
shall have authority to make such commitments out of session as well as in session. If
such conviction be had before the county court, the court or Judge thereof shall have the
same power to commit the offender to the State Reform School, or the county Jail,a8 the
said county judge has on conviction certified from other courts, as in this section pro-
vided.
Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction, 147
Section 3640. If any accusation of the commission of any crime sball be made against
any youth under the age of sixteen before any grand Jury, and the charge appears to be
supported by evidence sufficient to put the accused on trial, the grand Jury may, in their
•discretion, instead of finding an indictment against the accused, return to the court that
it appears to them that the accused Is a suitable person to be committed to the care and
guardianship of the said reform school. The court may thereupon order a certified copy
of such return and i-eport, and his findings thereon, under the seal of his court, to be
forthwith transmitted to the county Judge of the county in which the grand Jury is
sitting. The county Judge shall thereupon, by order, commit such Juvenile oflTender to
^tate Refonn School.
Section 3642. All youth between the ages of ten and sixteen years, who may be
accused of any offense punishable by imprisonment, shall, with a view to the question
whether they ought to be committed to said institution, be entitled to a private examiu-
.ation and trial before the county court, to which only the parties in the case and the
parent or guardian of the accused and their attorney shall be admitted, unless one of the
parents, guardians, or other legal representatives of the said youth, demand a public
-trial; in such case the proceedings shall be in the usual manner.
Section 3643. It shall be lawful for such board of trustees, under such rules as they
may prescribe, to receive into the care and guardianship of this institution, whenever it
may be proper to do so, youth between the ages of ten and sixteen years committed to its
•custody, in any of the following modes :
First— Youth committed by any Judge of a county court of this State on the com-
plaint in writing filed and due proof thereof, by the parent or guardian of such youth,
that by reason of the incorrigible and vicious conduct such youth have rendered their
•control beyond the power of such parent or guardian, and make it requisite that from a
regard for the future welfare of such youth, and for the protection of society, that he be
placed in such guardianship.
Second— All youth between the ages of ten and sixteen years who are incorrigible,
turbulent, and immoral, vicious, or of extreme depravity, and who shall be convicted of
the same before any county court in this State, shall be subject to the provisions of this
-act, and may be admitted as inmates of the institution under such rules and regulations
as may be prescribed by the said board of trustees.
Third— In all the cities of this State having a duly organized police force, it shall be
the duty of such police to assist in the enforcement of this act, as occasion may require.

GENERAL INFORMATION.
OBJECT OF THE SCHOOL.
The purpose of the school is to educate and thoroughly equip the deaf youth of the
State for independent and intelligent citizenship. It is in no respect a home, asylum, or
charitable institution for the care of deaf persons, nor a hospital for the treatment of
diseased conditions that impair the hearing:. Feeble-minded children, whether merely-
dumb, or both deaf and dumb, cannot be admitted. Deaf children of sound mind have
exactly the same right to attend that hearing children have to attend the public schools.
IMPORTANCE OF THE WORK.
Education is of infinitely more Importance to the deaf than to the hearing child.
The latter, growing up without a knowledge of letters, yet has a command of verbal lan-
guage by which he can express his own thoughts, and readily learn from others. The
possibilities of moral and mental development, and the acquisition of information
solely through spoken language are comparatively very great.
But the wholly uneducated deaf child, with no language but a few gestures, must
rapidly become mentally and spiritually starved and stunted, incapable of intelligent
self-direction or self-support, a burden upon the economic and often a danger to the
moral welfare of society. In recognition of these facts the law of the State makes the
education of the deaf compulsory, and liberal provision is made for the proper accoon-^
pllshment of the work.
DIFFICULTIES OF THE WORK.
It is the universal experience of teachers that the thorough education of the deaf is-
an exceedingly diffcult task, even under the most favorable conditions. These imply-
that the child shall enter school while quite young, attend regularly each full session,
and be intelligently encouraged to learn as much as possible at home. They also imply-
Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction. 149
Ibat only specially trained teachers familiar with the deaf, well educated, patient, and
-devoted to their work, shall be employed : that the classes must be very small, and that
the whole atmosphere and organization of the school inspire and reenforce the best work
of the school rooms.
ATTBNtoANCE.
There were enrolled during the session of 1905-6 seventy-nine pupils. Of these nine
liave completed the course of study, three of whom also passed successfully the examin-
tlons for entrance to Gallaudet College, Washington, D. C. Two students having reached
the age of twenty-one, after full enjoyment of the opportunities offered by the school,
liave been discharged. Another was discharged for persistent misconduct and two new
pupils after admission and trial were found to be feeble-minded and were therefore
returned to their homes. The applications for admission now on file indicate a steadily
Increasing attendance and it is evident that new buildings will soon be necessary for the
proper accommodation of all departments of the school work.
COURSE OF STUDY.
The course of study includes in the up^r grades all the branches commonly taught
In the public schools, and in the lower grades is principally devoted to the teaching of the
English language, written, spelled on the fingers, spoken, and read frona the lips. All
new pupils are given an opportunity to learn speech and lip-reading. Throughout the
•course every effort is made to perfect the written English of the pupils, this being by far
the most difficult part of the school work.
METHODS OF INSTRUCTION.
We use neither the German or "pure oral" method, nor the old French or "sign" (lan-
guage) method, but the American compromise, usually called the "combined system."
Speech and speech-reading by the deaf child are considered very important, but mental
•development and the acquisition of language are considered as still more important. It
is believed that in many cases mental development and the acquisition of language can
be best promoted by the use of the manual alphabet, writing, and to a very limited
extent the sign language. Where speech and speech-reading do not appear possible after
careful and continued trials, the conversational use of the manual alphabet is strongly
•encouraged and the indiscriminate use of the sign orgesture language is strongly discour-
.aged. Special effort is made in the case of childrep not born deaf to see that they retain
:8uch power of speech as they may have had when their hearing was lost. Carefully
studied outlines, based upon the generally accepted principals of pedagogy, and upon the
best work of the most successful teachers of the deaf in the country, have been prepared;
covering in detail the work in language and number for the primary grades.
INDUSTRIAL TRAINING.
Trades instruction is a very important feature of the school work. We endeavor to
teach each child to do some kind of hand work skillfully, Intelligently, willingly, to the
-end that each may have the moral and mental training afforded by such work, and the
independence and self-reliance which the knowledge of a trade gives. No pupil is
•excused from either industrial or domestic work. To the general course of training there
will be added this year Instructions in drawing by a lady who spent two years studying
«t Cooper Institute and the Prang School of Art In New York.
Shoe and harness making, carpentry, and printing are taught the boys. Sewing*
<lres8 making, and light house work are taught the girls. Some instruction is also given
A few boys in photo-engraving and baking. Plans are under consideration forgiving
the boys systematic instruction in gardening, not with a view to raising large quantities
of vegetables for the school, but to arouse interest In and present plainly some of the
fundamental facts of agriculture as excmplifled in garden work. The long summer vaca-
tion of course precludes the possibility of any very comprehensive undertaking along this
line, but it Is believed that even a very simple and limited course of instruction will be
of benefit. The importance of this line of effort appears evident from the facias shown
by the last census, that of 21,274 deaf persons engaged in gainful occupations in the
United States, 46.1 per cent follow agricultural pursuits.

GRNEKAL. CAltE AND DI8CIPLI2CE.
As the little deaf child taking the full course offered by the school must Rpend three-
fjurths of the best yt>ars of childhood within its portals, it Is fully realised by the man-
agement that the spirit of a happy home should pervade the school, that the discipline
should be gentle, kindly, yet Ann, insistent, pervasive ; that the spirit of mutual helpful-
ness and personal responsibility should be constantly cultivated ; and that at all times
habits of system, regularity-, neatness, cleanliness, and politeness should be inculcated.
The health of pupils is most carefully looked after, a competent physician making-
regular weekly visits and being called in at the least indication of serious illness. Field
and athletic sports, and physical culture so far as our limited gymnasium fkcilities per-
mit, are heartily encouraged. Active Christian Endeavor and literary societies are main-
tained by the pupils. *' Parties" are given the children on all holidays. Religious
instruction, wholly nonsectarian, is given by the teachers in the regular 8unday School,
Sunday afternoon lecture, and in the daily brief chapel service. Character, in all its
noblest forms, is at all times recognized as the supreme end of education, the one result
which adds immeasurably to the value of all other results of mental and industrial
training.

GENERAL INFORMATION.
PURPOSE AND AIM.
The Oregon Institute for the Blind is a school of learning established by an act of the-
legiHlAture for the especial benefit of the blind youth of the State. It is not, as some-
sup|)()se, a home or an asylum for blind people, nor a hospital for the treatment of dis-
eases of the eye. It Is strictly educational in its interests. The aim and purposes of the-
school is to give facilities to the blind for obtaining an education equal to those furnished
seeing children in the best public schools. Also to provide the means of acquiring a.
knowledge of music and such instructions in industrial pursuits as will aid them to*
become iudepcndeni and useful citizens.
LOCATION.
The institution is located at Salem, where it has been provided by the generosity or
the State with beautiful grounds, convenient buildings, and suitable apparatus for the-
instruction of the blind. It would be difficult to find a more beautiful, convenient, or-
healthful site than the grounds on which the school is situated. It is only a few blocks,
distant from churches, lecture halls, and the business part of the Capital City, yet it is.
isolated from it by a stream, thus aflbrding pupils the advantages and privileges of city
life with the quiet of a country home.
LITERARY DEPARTMENT.
The literary department affords instruction in all the branches taught in the public-
schools, and two years of the high school course. The work required of pupils, with
tests for their promotion and graduation, may be found In the course of study prescribed
for the schools of Oregon.
Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction. 151
MUSICAL DEPARTMENT.
The moiiioal department is well supplied with instraments, sheet masic, and books
on the subject. Instmction is given on the piano, organ, guitar, violin, comet, and
other instmmenta. All the pnpils are taught to sing, and those who display especial
talent are given individual training in vocal music.
CONDITION OF ADMISSION.
The school is supported by appropriations made by the Legislature, and the advan-
tages it offers are firee to all the blind yotiths of the State and those whose sight is so
defective that they cannot obtain an education in the public school. The only expense
parents are required to bear is in supplying their children with comfortable clothing in
such quantities as to admit of the necessary change for washing and mending, and to
detrsy travel ng expenses to and from the school. If the parents, relatives, or friends of
a child are not able to provide these necessary expenditures, the county courts are
required by law to render such assistance.
All pufrils board and have their home at the institution during the school term.
Board, fhmished rooms, and medical attendance are free.
The conditions of admission are : —
1. Insufficient vision to attend the public schools.
2. Ability to receive intellectual, physical, and moral training,
t. Willingness to conform to necessary rules and regulations.
4. Good moral character.
School opens for the reception of pupils September 18th, when all are expected to be
present* so as to begin the work together and avoid the confusion of coming in later in
the term. The session will continue for thirty-six weeks.

GENERAL OUTLOOK.
The outlook for the coming year is very bright. Our teachers are enthusiastic and
hopeful for a better year than the one Just ended. Our schools are being supplied with
the best apparatus and furniture, thus insuring greater comfort for the little ones, and
a livelier interest on part of the older ones. A large number of the teachers are supplied
with the latest and best school periodicals which famish new ideas and life for the hard
worked teacher.
COURSE OF STUDY.
The rural schools are feeling the uplifting influence of our present course. While
there may be found, here and there, one teacher so subtle minded as to see no l>eneflt to
be derived from a strict enforcement and carrying out of the work outlined, such a
teacher is rapidly becoming a back number. The present course of study is the greatest
blessing ever enjoyed by the farmer boy and farm girl in Benton County; nothing but
praise is heard from the farm. The only drawback connected with the work, is the de>
sire on the part of some teachers to put themselves above it, and think they "know it
all." If every teacher would study it more carefully, and try to execute it more thor-
oughly, It would create such a stimulus never before felt by our schools. The schools, in
this county, where the course of study is strictly carried out, I find the best results, the
best teachers, and the best districts.
COUNTY INSTITUTE.
Our county Institute, held last May, was as succesful as any previous one. The work
of the instructors was interesting and very profitable. I feel certain our teachers were
all strengthened by the able lectures and improved methods suggested. We expect to-
make several changes in the next institute. The more experience we have with this
work, the more strongly we favor State institute instructors, employed by the State, and
paid out of funds derived from the several county institute funds of the several counties
of the State. We believe better work can be done, and more beneficial results obtained.
Such a system will enable men of the highest ability to specially prepare along the lines
of the course of study. The smaller counties would thus be especially benefited. We
look forward to the time when such a plan exists.
LOCAL MEETINGS.
Throughout the year we have held a large number of parents' meetings. This is the
second year we have held these meetings. We found increased interest on the part of
parents. We have had the very best attendance. I believe these meetings are far more
helpful to the rural schools than the old fashion local teachers' institute. The new law
allowing the use of part of county institute funds for local meetings, is greatly appre-
ciated. With this help we can make our programs stronger.

In order to further stimulate IntereHt In the State course of study, we have held a
lar^c number of graduation exerclHes in the rural districts. We And this to be an excel-
lent plan to excite interest on part of pupils in this work. The older boys and girls
remain in school to graduate instead of dropping out in 7th and 8th grades.
LOCAL DIRECTORS' CONVENTION.
It is our intention to divide our county into divisions the coming y«ar. In each
dlvlKion we will have local meetings of directors. By this means we will strive to sys-
temize business. The duties of clerks and directors will be taken up and discussed.
Ways and means of increasing Interest in the district on part of parents and pupils
will be taken up. We feel that such a plan will insure better attendance than a general
county convention. This plan might be carried on still farther and have these subdivi-
sion send delegates to a county convention. Whether this last proposition is feasible
or not, the former plan is. We will try it anyway.
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT'S CONVENTION.
We desire to "pat" our worthy State Superintendent on the back for his efforts along
this line. He is entitled to the support of every county superintendent in the State in
the last move. Such a. plan, if carried out as suggested by him, will push ahead the
work and means of doing things by the several county superintendents greatly. We
trust that each county school superintendent will see to it that his delegation to the
State legislature is rightly informed on this matter. Our worthy State Superintendent
can not accomplish this alone ; we all must help him.
TEACHERS' SALARIES.
We are glad to note the tendency of directors to seek for. the teacher r^ardless of
the salary dem^inded. A few years back the salary was the first thing thought of. We
hope to see th^ tinie when our teachers will be paid in proportion to the wprk.done and
the character of ti}e work to be done. This will give us better teachers. Such a ^hing
can only be apcon^plished by a strong and a long pull on the part of the entire army of
teachers. Let each do his duty. ..
In closing I think it our duty to express to our worthy State Superintendent our
appreciation of his untiring efforts. It has only been through t^is zeal, pluck and will
our State to-day enjoys such excellent school privileges. Each teacher, each parent and
pupil has been benefited through his uplifting infiuence.

COUNTY INSTITUTES.
For several years our county institutes have been very successful, not only as a means
of lifting the teaching force to a higher plane of efficiency in practical school worlc, but
also as a potent factor in promoting that mutual sympathy and unity of eflTort for which
the teachers of Ck>os county are so Justly noted. The institute recently held in North
Bend was probably the best ever enjoyed by the friends of education in this section of
the State.
Local institute work is limited to educational talks or lectures to the patrons and
district officers.
TEACHERS* REPORTS, CLERKS* REPORTS, TEACHERS' REGISTERS, ETC.
In my last special report I gave in detail my views relative to what I considered an
improvement in the teachers' register and a more reliable way of obtaining satisfactory
reports from the teachers. Mature deliberation has convinced me that the plan is both
feasible and practical. I would therefore refer you to that report for a discussion of the
above topics, ^n ray opinion our system of reports would be greatly simplified and ren-
dered much handier for county superintendents if the teachers' register described in my
foregoing report contained one leaf or two pages for the district clerks' annual report to
the county superintendent. It would doubtless be best to have two of these blanks tor
clerks' reports and also for the teachers' reports in the event one were spoiled in making
it out. The blank for the district clerk should fully take the place of the present forms
use0 by that officer in his annual report to the county superintendent, except the dis^
trict enumeration, which should be on a separate sheet as at present.
With the district clerk's original report in the clerk's book of record and his dupll>
cate report and the teacher's report as a part of the teachers' register and the latter sent
to the county superintendent immediately following the annual school meeting in June,,
it seems to me that an improvement over the present plan would be experienced.
I see no reason forgiving the district clerk until July 10th to mail his annual report to
the county superintendent. He can get it in the mail within five days after the annual
school meeting Just as easily and with all the items as accurately stated as if given until
July 10th. Besides, the county superintendent would then have some time In which to
refer Inaccuracies back to the district clerk for correction, a thing impossible in many
cases at present. I would also suggest that the law be so amended as to impose a fine on
a districtclerk for holding his report longer than five days after the annual school meet-
ing. It is not right to impose a hardship on the district by withholding its apportion-
ment of the public funds simply on account of one man's carelessness.
TEACHERS' EXAMINATIONS.
With well balanced lists of questions — and most of the lists of the past eight years
have been of that kind — and a conscientious administration of the rules governing the
examinations, I consider the present system a very fair test of an applicant's knowledge
of the subjects taught in the public schools.
SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.
I consider the attendance at the public schools of this county as very good, when the
many hindrances, in the way of distance, bad roads, the crossing of streams, etc., are
considered. Yet a compulsory attendance law, which means what its title indicates^
would very materially Increase the school attendance by the addition of a class of stu-
dents who are permitted to take advantage of the numerous exemptions in our preseitt
compulsory law.
DISTRICT TAX.
More than half the money expended for all educational purposes in this county is
raised by district tax. The marked progress made in every department of school work
during the last ten years should be attributed largely to this willingness of the people to
thus liberally support their school system.

EDUCATION IN GILLIAM COUNTY.
There is a growing Interest along educational lines in this county due to a number
of causes. Perhaps the most manifest are the State Course of Study and the law per-
mitting pupils to graduate from the public school and receive a diploma in evidence of
the fact. It Is gratifying to know that many, in preparing themselves for their first
graduation, have acquired a desire for higher education. The voters of Gilliam County
have twice tried to supply the means of gratifying this desire by voting to establish a
county high school, but in each instance it was turned down by failure of the county
court to locate it in the time required by law. Lone Bock, Arlington, and Condon do
some high school work but nowhere In the county are there grades taught above the
tenth.
Our teachers are, for the most part, imported ftrom other counties and, as the wages
here are above the average, we receive applications from many who are well qualified
for the work. The annual institute is usually held in September before the schools
begin, so the teachers may go into the schoolroom full of enthusiasm and put into exe-
cution the new Ideas gained. We find the local teachers* Institute rather a hard propo-
sition because of poor traveling facilities and on account of widely separated districts,
though teachers manifest good interest in the few institutes we are able to hold.
Gilliam County can boast of some very good and quite up-to-date schoolhouses even
in the rural districts, while a majority are supplied with comfortable buildings equipped
with patent seats, blackboards, etc.
We are especially pleased with the new library law as, up to its passage, many of our
schools had not the semblance of a library but will form the nucleus for one this year.
The greatest problem, or at least one of the greatest, is what to do to better the con-
dition of our rural schools. Many of the sparselj' settled districts draw barely enough
money to run a three months' school — a deplorable condition, and one which can not
be reached effectively by the district tax, as much of the occupied land has not yet been
patented by the government and is therefore exempt from taxation. The only way to
reach them is by proper legislation.
A proper supervision of the school work of this county is next to impossible under
existing conditions. The salary is so small that the superintendent must teach in order
to live. By the time a man serves as principal of a six-room school, with three grades
to teach himself, it leaves little more than time to do the office work in the superintend-
ent's office. There should be a change made in this and in other similarly conditioned
counties. A sufficient salary should be paid to the superintendent to admit of his
devoting his whole time and energy to superintending the school work of the county.

It would be a saving to the taxpayers because of the greater amount of work that could
be accomplished for the same expenditure of money, and it would be a blessing to the
children because of the more thorough and systematic manner in which the work could
be done. This is a comparatively new county, but the people are alive to their best
interests so it is only a matter of time until all needed changes are made.

SUPPLEMENTARY SCHOOL REPORT.
In respouse to your kind invitation, I take pleasure in submitting a supplementary
report on the condition of the schools of Grant County, as it may be one of the means
of improving educational conditions here. The county is far inland from lines of travel
and commerce, large, sparsely settled and widely diversified in climate and topography ;
hence, educational movements are often weak and slow, as instance the facts that the
course of study was only partially Introduced into the schools in the county in 1900, and
modern methods in primary reading are used by but few of the teachers.
Superintendence is correspondingly difficult. The reports of school clerks are often
late, incomplete, and full of errors. For the past two years clerks have been urged to
attend the annual institute, and for their work a special period was set apart As the
journey would be long and expensive for most of them they failed to attend. Teachers'
registers and reports have received special attention at the institutes, in consequence of
which they are more neat and accurate than formerly. Pupils attend with great regu-
larity, some of the younger going as far as seven miles in all kinds of weather. Some
do not attend at all, and no attempt has ever been made to enforce our inadequate
compulsory attendance law. Parents are generally very much interested in good schools
and good attendance, and to their efforts credit for special taxes and regular school
attendance is due. Visitation is most difficult, as roads are long and proverbially bad.
The greater part of the distance must be gone over three times each year, if each school
is visited. Valley and mountain districts are adjacent in every part of the county, and
schools are conducted at different seasons of the year, accordingly. Visits must be
made in the fall, in the spring, and in the summer; and at each, two empty school-
houses will be passed in reaching one holding a session.
Teachers have as yet failed to Join in any general educational movement, aside from
the annual institute. There has not been, at least in recent years, a teachers' school, a
reading circle, or a generally attended educational meet of any kind. This is due in
part to the great distances teachers would have to travel, but a better professional spirit
would partially succeed in forming such associations.
Most liberal district taxes are levied, and often with no opposition at all. These
levies run from a few mills to twenty-two mills, voted to build the splendid schoolhouse
in Canyon City. John Day is also paying a special twenty-mill tax. Other districts tax
themselves liberally to build new schoolhouses and carry on longer terms of school. This
tax is likewise used to defray the additional cost of maintaining a secondary school.
Such secondary schools are carried on in seven districts, with teachers ranging in
number from two to four. It has been difficult to secure adherence to the state course
In these schools, but all are now coming into line, and some of them doing exceptionally
good work.
School population increases but slowly, as also school attendance. The average
enumeration for the past seven years is about 1,800, and the attendance but little more
than half of that number. During this period the present eighth-grade examination
law having been in force in the State, only about 100 pupils have graduated from the
eighth grade. In the same time about 1,400 pupils have quit going to school. The grad-
uates are about seven per cent of the attendance and hardly four per cent of the school
population. When it is considered, however, that sixty -live of these graduated within
the last two years, the situation is seen to be improving.
The development and adjustment of the educational system seems clearly to indicate
the need of legislation requiring either experience or special training, as well as scholar-

ship, to secure certificates to tectch. Out of fifteen graduates firom the eighth grade
applying for certificates, there was but one fliilure. There are doubtless enough young
people, Just flrom the elementary schools or from one or two years in the high school, to
Hupply our forty school districts with teachers. It is morally certain that in scholarship
they will outgrade many of the old teachers, and any uniform system of grading that
would exclude them would also cut out the experienced teacher. An annual school con.
ference, with compulsory and paid attendance for clerks or chairmen of the boards,
would result in great good.
HABNEY COUNTT.
M. E. RIGBY, Superintendent.
The educational outlook was never brighter for Harney County. Teachers, ofllcers,
and superintendent are working in the most perfect harmony, while patrons and chil-
dren were never more hopefUl, and as the fall and winter terms draw near, an interest
is manifest such as was never before known. Hcboolhouses are .being repaired and
refitted, cleaned and made ready for their winter tenements, trustees are making inqui-
ries for the best instructors, studying closely the papers they hold, and writing to the
superintendent as to thejr experience and qualifications, while the school children wear
an expression of expectancy. All are in the best of spirits, and everywhere, especially
through the country, a new life seems stirring along the educational lines.
COUNTY INSTITUTES
Are well attended by both parents and teachers, the business men often taking part
in the dlRcussions. We secure, as much as possible, the attendance of school children
lipon these occasions, and to give in a nutshell a report of our annual institute, I will
Ray, we generally have large enthusiastic crowds, the best instructors we can get, and a
lively, profitable time.
LOCAL INSTITUTES
Are similar to our annual institutes, only on a smaller scale. Local talent, teachers,
parents, and children take part in the discussions and entertainments. We hold about
six of these annually in difl'erent districts of the county. These institutes are well
attended, the schoolhouses generally being crowded. A basket dinner is one of the im-
portant features on these occasions and the different localities vie with each other in
this part of the program.
I find the local institutes of the greatest value. If properly conducted they bring
the teacher and parent in closer touch, in fact it provides one day in each year when
the teacher and parents can work in the same room, in the same way, with the samo
material.
TEACHERS' AND CLERKS' REPORTS.
By constant urging I have brought our teachers and school clerks in line. Reports
from both, generally correct, are received promptly. These reports show not only &
steady increase in school census but also an increase in school attendance.
As to deportment I require my teachers to send in semi-monthly reports. These
reports inform me as to cases of tardiness, absentees, profanity on school grounds,
defacing school property and general misconduct. Where cases are too bad I write a
personal letter to parents,— this method has proved a great help in school discipline.
SALARIES
Of our teachers are good, ranging from $50 to $80 per month for our rural schools,
and from $65 to $100 for graded schools. From the county fund about $11 per capita is
apportioned.
We have few teachers seeking employment. We have, however, a sufiftclent number
to supply our schools, and it Is our aim as far as possible to fill our schools with local
teachers.

LIBRARIES
Are at present almost at a standstill. The county court at its last regular meeting
for levying tax did not recognize the law providing for library fund, although their
attention was called to the matter. Their behavior in this regard leaves us in a bad
position for pleasant work. We are, however, trying to plan with the new court a way
to surmount this difficulty.

telephone, or by letter. Should I itemize the difTerent features of my work here, it
would only be to review what I have already written as to my associations with the
schools and general school work. I forbear.

COUNTY INSTITUTES.
County institutes have grown steadily in interest during my term of office, but I
have not held one during the past year on account of not having funds sufficient to pay
the expenses of conducting an institute.
LOCAL INSTITUTES.
At the beginning of my term of office I deemed it advisable to consider the county
divided into four sections for convenience in holding local institutes. I found my plan
to work admirably, and I have held very fine institutes in some three of these divisions
every school year. Last year four were held and very good attendance was had. How-
ever, some older teachers seem to think it not necessary to attend, and even shirk their
duty and try to study up some excuse for nonattendan^ce.
REPORTS.
Teachers' reports and clerks' reports are so closely related that a person can't speak
of one without bringing up some part of the other. Hence I have considered both
under one heading. By insisting on every teacher making a full, complete, and correct
report at the end of her term of school, and at the end of the school year. I have greatly
lightened the burden of worrying over that part of the clerks' reports taken from the
teachers' register, which report is nearly always incorrect, owing to the fact that school
clerks do not all understand the teachers' register.
In order to avoid errors in the tinancial part of clerks' reports, I place on the dupli-
cate report blank to each district its balance on hand last year and the a mount of county
and State apportionments sent to it. This plan takes some extra work, but its result
more than makes up for this extra work for the superintendent in the end.
SCHOOLHOUSES.
The old rough, brown box schoolhouses are fast passing out of sight, and new, up-
to-date frame buildings, painted white with blue or greeh trimmings take their places.
At this time six new buildings are nearlng completion in the country districts, while in
the Grants Pass district a fine eight room brick building is almost ready for occupancy.
It is Indeed a pleasure to ride over the county and note these various improved condi-

scho<5l attendance.
School attendance is gradually Improving. While it is not yet np to what I am
striving to attain, I am pleased to say it is much better than it was last year.
DISTRICT TAX.
Notwithstanding the fact that the county court and the assessor had all property
assesed at very nearly its actual value, eighteen districts levied from two to ten mills
special tax to further educate the children and to build better houses, buy better furni-
Lture, and to repair things in general.
SUPPLY OF TEACHERS, QUALIFICATIONS, FAILURES.
Our supply of teachers has been short of the demand during the past two years, but
now every indication shows such a decided increase that we are hopeful of a sufficient
number to fill the demand. Many of our teachers are well qualified and teach very suc-
cessful schools, yet some have very little higher educational qualification than the com-
pletion of the eighth grade, and several of these teach as good schools in many respects
as some State licensed teachers, or even some normal graduates. Very few failures have
occurred. I find some of the causes to be lack of governing ability, lack of proper edu-
cational qualification, and aversion to self effort. The teacher who tries right hard to
do something seldom falls.
The revised State course of study fills every requirement for the schools and the
most successful teacher is the one who makes it a study and applies it in actual work,
SCHOOL LIBRARIES.
A few of the schools of this county have small libraries, most of which were pur-
chased with the proceeds of school entertainments, given by the school children for that
purpose.
The county court levied the minimum rate of library tax last January and the
amount of money collected from such levy was duly apportioned among the several dis-
tricts in July. In August the county's order for library books was sent to the library
commission, $99.25 in excess of the apportionment, which shows that some interest Is
taken in the right direction and a fine start for a good library is made in every district.
HIGH SCHOOL.
We have but one high school. A full four years' high school, and for convenience to
keep our boys and girls in our home school, we have three distinct departments, each
•covering four years work, in our course of study, viz.: the Practical, the Scientific, and
the Classical.
THE SUPERINTENDENT'S WORK.
The superintendent's work is never finished. It increases every year. Each day
tarings up something new which keeps him striving to accomplish. The latest burden
added by law to his numerous duties, is the library work. This is a difllcult duty to
perform, requiring most careful consideration in every particular.
KLAMATH COUNTY.
JAMES G. WIGHT, SUPERINTENDENT.
We are pleased to state that the educational outlook in Klamath County is some-
what promising. In Klamath Falls have been constructed in the last year two beautiful
buildings, the Klamath County High School, a brick building, costing over $40,000, and
the Klamath Falls Public School, constructed of stone, at a cost of over $20,000. Fort
Klamath, Merrill, and Oiene have also constructed buildings of the better class, and
Bonanza is now on hand with a building that will cost $12,000.
We have had one county institute and three local institutes in the last year, and the
progressive teachers of our county have received much inspiration and real benefit from
them.

ANNUAL INSTITUTES.
The annual Institutes are held about the time of the opening of the fall term of
fjchool. While very little academic knowledge can be acquired by the teachers in the
three days' session, yet they can receive a great deal of inspiration and encouragement.
The institute held October 11-13, 1905, was conducted along these lines and was pro-
nounced by the two hundred teachers in attendance to be the best in the county. Hold-
ing the institute at this time of year enables the county superintendent to secure schools
for all the teachers and to assist the districts in securing teachers, which Is no small
task in a county of one hundred and seventy districts. In order to save the teachers
from the western part of the county from taking a sixty mile stage ride to Eugene, the
three days' session was held at Florence and was well attended by teachers and patrons
of the schools. Several local institutes have been held during the year, and while the
programs were excellent the attendance of teachers and of the public was not as good
as it should have been.
TEACHERS' REPORTS.
With few exceptions the reports that have been made were correct and forwarded
promptly. The reports coming as they do at the end of the term are of no practical use
to the districts or any one else, except as a matter of information. The law should be
changed so that the report would be made at the end of each school month by the prin-
cipal or teacher in charge of the school, showing the registration, attendance, tardiness,
work passed over and work done by each pupil during the month. In this way the
county superintendent would be enabled to see that the course of study was closely fol-
lowed and would materially aid the school supervision.
SCHOOLHOUSES.
During the past two years twenty schoolhouses have been built, and in all cases
have been well furnished. There is a tendency on the part of all the districts to Improve
the condition of the schoolhouses and grounds. The yards have been fenced, shade
trees planted, brush and rubbish removed, schoolhouses painted and the interior walls
decorated.

164 Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction.
GENERAL OUTLOOK.
There Is a healthy and glowing outlook In favor of the public and high MhooLs ini
this county. Forty-two districts levied a special tax, with an average of seven mills.
Over tM) additional was added to the library funds. Teachers are taking advantage or
higher institutions of learning and the Hummer Normal lo better prepare themselves
for their work. Teachers' wages, though yet low, are increasing. During the past two-
years over two hundred have completed the eighth grade and received diplomas. This
does not include the City of Eugene, which as yet has not taken advantage of the eighth
grade examination. Three districts maintain four years' high t»chool, one, three years'-
course, two, two years' course, and quite a number a one year course.
SCHOOL LEGISLATION.
Changes in school law are not to be encouraged except in cases of necessity. Most^
if not all, the violations of school law are due to misunderstanding of the law rather
than to intention. The entire Fchool law should be rewritten and recompiled, so as
to be easily understood by the average voter.
The time of the annual enumeration should be changed until the latter part of May.
Vacancies in the office of clerk or director in districts of the third class should be-
fllled by appointment by the county superintendent until the next annual meeting.
Under the present law if the clerk's report is not filed on time, the district loses its
apportionment for the next school year. The law should be changed so that the clerk,
would be liable for his neglect.
If teachers who have flnisbed a normal school of this State, that is, have done three-
years' work above the eighth grade, are allowed to teach in high schools where four
years' work above the eighth grade are done, can not credit be given such teachers as^
well as graduates of the various colleges and universities that would count if they desire-
to teach a common school ?
In counties that do not maintain a county high school some pro^ision should be-
made whereby the county would bear the expense of tuition of all pupils who are
entitled to attend high school and do not live in a district that maintains a high school..
A law should be passed compelling circuit Judges to render all decisions in cases-
relating to school matters in writing and file them with the clerk of the court, who
would then send a copy of the same to the State Board of Education, who in turn would
send a copy to each county in the State. A case that involves points of school law is-
rarely taken to the supreme court, and in the absence of a supreme court decision the-
decision of the circuit judge would be a safe guide. During the past two years a case
was appealed from this county to the State Board of Education, who made a decision^
and then sent copies of their decision to each county in the State for guidance of county
superintendents in similar cases. The case was afterward carried to the circuit court,,
and upon demurrer and in the trial each point decided by the State Board of Education
was overruled by the circuit Judge. And as far as I know the different county superin-
tendents are following the rulings of the State Board, notwithstanding a contrary and
more Just one by the circuit Judge.
COURSE OF STUDY.
In compliance with your request to discuss the Course of Study, and in view of the-
fact that within a year a new series of text- books is to be adopted, I send you herewith
a discussion of the present Course of Study with a few suggestions which were handed
me by a teacher with years of successful experience, and with whom I have worked
several years.
I believe that these suggestions sound pedagogically and hope they will be of profit
to you.

GEORGE BETHERS, Superintendent.
COUNTY INSTITUTES.
The county institute has become a training school for teachers. The instructors are-
doing their best to make the institute work interesting and beneficial to parents and
Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction, 1 65
children as well as the teachers. It is a meeting in which the entire community should
take a part. The teachers pronounced the Institute held during this year the best ever
beld In the county.
LOCAL INSTITUTES.
Local institute work is still in its Infancy in Lincoln County. The interest along this
line of work Is advancing, and it is hoped that the local institute will be a great factor In
promoting a greater desire on the part of the teacher, parent, and child for a better and
■a higher education.
TEACHERS' REPORT.
Some of the teachers have not studied this part of the law as closely as they should.
The instructions In the law and the register are so clear that no one need make a mis-
take in the time to report and the part that is to be taken from the teachers* register.
The blanks for the report are very well prepared and easily filled out.
CLERKS' REPORTS.
The clerks' reports do not show a true condition of the districts. Sometimes there
are outstanding warrants. These the reports do not show, as there Is no blank space for
such a report. To show the true standing of a district the report should give all the
transactions. The clerks do quite well In filing out and sending In their reports.
TEACHERS' EXAMINATIONS.
To be thoroughly equipped is the desire of all, or nearly all, who are. now entering
the teaching profession. Summer schools and other places where the teacher may receive
Instructions that will help along the line of the chosen profession are well patronized by
the progressive teacher. As a result of the above, the percentage of failures is becoming
. less.
SCHOOLHOUSES.
There Is room for a great wave of improvement In schoolhouses and grounds. The
•schoolhouse and grounds should be made attractive by planting trees, cultivating flow-
•ers, and inclosing the grounds with a nice, neat fence. In the country the opportunities
are present for making the schoolhouse and grounds the district's center of attraction.
It is hoped that the teacher, pupils, and patrons will join their forces in improving the
appearance of the schoolhouse and grounds.
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT'S WORK.
The superintendent's field Is a large one and the duties are many. The work of gen-
eral school advancement. If properly planned and carried out, should help every school
dn the county. The superintendent should have the course of study mastered and he
should see that the teachers under his supervision follow the instructions laid down in
It to the best of their ability. Every thing that can be done should be done to put our
schools on a level and, if possible, above those of our sister States. The superintendents,
toy holding a superintendents' meeting once a year could, no doubt, do a great deal to
Improve the schools of the State.
DISTRICT TAX.
The demand Is for more schools and to have the term longer. Some means must be
provided to pay for the additional expense. The best way to meet this additional ex-
pense is by voting a special tax. This means of raising money seems to meet the require-
ments better tlian any other. A great many districts make a special tax levy every year
and by this means have a term of six or eight months.
HIGH SCHOOLS.
This year marks a step onward for hiji:h school work in this county. Many of the
schools are doing work above the eighth grade, but the first district high school in Lin-
coln County opens its doors September 24th in Toledo, the county seat. Such a school
has been needed for some time. For want of better school privileges many young people
tiave gone no farther than the present ei?hth grade carried them. This move on the part
of the Toledo people will be a great blessing to the entire county.
166 Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction.
TEACHERS' QUALIFICATIONS.
Every year brings about better schools by having teachers In the work who are keep-
ing abreast of the times. More teachers are now In the work for the good they can d»
than ever before.

MALHEUR COUNTY.
B. L. MILLIGAN, SUPERINTENDENT.
THE LAST COUNTY INSTITUTE
Was held In Vale September 6-8, 1906. President B. F. Mulkey was Its Instructor,,
and did his work masterfully. Superintendent Ackerinan was with us a part of two
days and delivered one of his stirring addresses at an evening session. Editor Chas. H..
Jones was also present, and he Is hereby Invited to meet with our teachers at Ontario
next year. Malheur County institutes are held "for the instruction of teachers" and not
merely for their entertainment. Hence the work of the institutes in the county is
planned upon a liberal basis, which unites the "general lecture with specific instruc-
tions," and a free and easy discussion by the teachers of methods, devices, or principles.
As evidence of the interest taken by our teachers in these meetings, it maybe men«
tloned that one of our live principals journeyed over a hundred miles to be present at
the recent institute.
SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
Under the certificate-of-award plan was unusually good last year. More than a hun-
dred certificates for perfect attendance were Issued to pupils in the county during the-
year. How much is due to the certificate, and how much to an awakened interest in
the county, is a matter which we cannot dispose of at a word. We simply record the
gratifying fact, that the attendance has been very good.
HIGH SCHOOL
Work has been done In the schools at Ontario, Nyssa, Vale, Ironside, Valley View,
and Jordan Valley. The high school department in the first named school had over
twenty pupils doing work above the 8th grade last term, while the Vale school had a
class in the I'ith, and Nyssa one in the 9th grade. High schools regularly organized,
both district and county, will be the necessary and Inevitable outgrowth of the present
educational development of the county. Our county Is comparatively young — being
still lnits'*teens."
EIGHTH GRADE GRADUATIONS.
During the past two years there have been seventy-six 8th grade graduations in the
county, and the graduation exercises have been made occasions for educational interest
and enthusiasm in all the schools save one, whose excellent principal, for some reason,
is not in sympathy with these popular exercises. (Probably their extreme popularity
furnishes the prime reason for the principal's proscription.)
Under this caption we desire to say:
1. That imperfect and unsatisfactory as the gradation and promotion of pupils may
be under our present system, it is the best the State ever had, and indispensable.
2. That the main purpose of any examination should be more for ascertaining the
pupil's power than the testing of his knowledge, a principle which should be recognized
in any attempt to doctor our gradation laws.
3. That, as a matter of fact, the intelligent, wide-awake, discriminative, honest
teacher is the best judge of the pupils' fitness for promotion.

SCHOOLHOUSES.
Most of the districts have good houses, well furnished and equipped with fist class
furniture and apparatus. During the past two years notable improvements have been
made in bouses and grounds, which have an estimated value of $41,818. Ontario Is now
putting a $7,500 annex to its fine two-story brick ; and Vale has added two large rooms
to its fine stone building; district No. 46 has a new thousand dollar building; so has
No. 45; and No. 12 has Just bonded to build and equip a new house at a cost of $1,000. It
is a common remark of strangers passing through the country, "What fine school-
houses you have!"
LIBRARIES
Are multiplying throughout the county. In nearly every community thereare a few
people who recognize the value of the school library as an educative factor. In 1901
there were no library books in the county ; this year 733 were reported. Under the new
library law we expect to double this number during the next two years. The county
levied more than the law requires for the purchase of libraries, the county court being
composed of men who are in sympathy with ihe library idea.
THE COURSE OF STUDY
Grows in favor with both teachers and patrons who accept it gratefully. Our teach-
ers in the rural districts use it intelligently for the most part, and unify and vitalize
their work through its use.
TEACHERS* QUALIFICATIONS.
Under this topic we remark that our teaching force was never stronger than now.
The people are being educated as well as their children, and are learning that "the
best is none too good" for the pupils, and that teachers who have had special training
for their vocation are preferable, hence there is a growing demand for teachers who have
had the advantages of normal training.
PERMANENCY OF TEACHERS' WORK.
We have many teachers who love their work for its own sake, and have a just pride
in their profession, but the custom in most of the districts is to hire new teachers at each
new term. In justice to our people though, we should add that our best schools show ar
strong disposition to retain their teachers from year to year. This tendency is shown in
the retention of
SCHOOL CLERKS
From year to year. At the last annual school meeting but four new clerks were
elected. The people elect their school clerks for their fitness and qualifications for serv-
ice, and the same rule is employed in the selection of teachers whenever nracticable. It
takes a term or two for a clerk to learn his duties, and after he has learned them, the-
patrons are loth to foist a novice in his place.
THE OUTLOOK
Was never better than now. Our schools have grown from the organization of the
county, 1887, from an average daily attendance of 2.V> to 1,039; from an enrollment of
278 in 1887, to an enrollment of 1,H77 in IIKK; from the tiny .shacks of the pioneer school,
houses to the splendid houses of to-day, with modern equipments. From a careless-
IndlflTerent attitude on the subject of education, our people have developed an interest
and passion for scholastic improvement that augurs well for the county's future. The
schools are no longer neglected, but cherished, and so far as they are able the patrons are
heartily cooperating with the department of superintendence in every good work looking:
to the improvement of their schools.
The county superintendent desires, as his last word, to express a sense of his obliga-
tion to patrons, teachers, and the Superintendent of Public Instruction for hearty sym-
pathy and support, without which his work would have been nothing.

SCHOOL funds too SMALL.
Our school funds are too small. Our most progressive districts levy a small special
tax to supplement the State and county funds. Other districts shorten their terms when
their funds are low, thus depriving children of a full year's schooling. As a rule, this is
not done because the district is poor. Generally the wealthiest districts are slowest to
respond to special district support. This condition must be remedied quickly or our
State will suffer by comparison with other western States that have a much larger irre-
ducible fund. Two plans suggest themselves to me as a remedy: One is to enlarge the
county fund; another is to formulate some State law that will increase the irreducible
fund.
HIGH SCHOOLS.
We should amend our consolidation law so as to permit of consolidation for high
school purposes to the end that union high schools may be established.
Our county high school law should be amended so as to change the governing board
in counties having districts of the first class. In such counties I favor making the school
board of the first class districts ez officio members of the county high school board and
electing two others from the county at large out side of the first class districts. This would
enable counties having cities to adopt county high school privileges without materially
changing the policy of the school management in the districts of the first class.
TEACHERS' REPORT.
As commonly used, teachers' reports are valuable for statistics only. Their statis-
tical value becomes apparent to the individual who studies the past and, using the facts
disclosed, discovers trends in the educational movement from which he develops
plans to modify and improve conditions. I would not undervalue this use of report fig-
ures. It has its place and is important. In my opinion, teachers' reports can be made
theimmediate index to the present condition of the school as well and unsatisfac-
tory conditions may be remedied at once. They are no less valuable for the statistican
and tabulator if made to serve a " real live " end. Cities have long ago proven the value
of such records and have sy stemized report plans to make them up. Too long our county
school systems have been allowed to move along largely In the "go as you please" style.
Why is this? We pay out large sums of money for school purposes. Should the expen-
diture of this fund not,be supervised as intelligently and closely as are other large busi-
ness enterprises? Using a system of reports in the county work requires cleiical assist-
ance just as it does in the city work. If good for the city, it is good for the county. Our
report system in this county has been in use for four years. In my opinion, no other
€ttbrt on my part has done so much toward system and promptness among our schools
as the monthly reports. It requires clerical help. It will pay any county many times
over to furnish such clerical help as may be needed to exercise a close supervision over
the school system of the county.

SELECTION OF TEACHERS.
I realize that this would place large powers In the hands of a county superintendent.
He should he capable of exercising such power and should be broad enough to exercise
it solely in the best interests of the children for whose education the schools exist. A
^ood superintendent knows every community and can know the applicants for posi-
tion. He might exercise this power arbitrarily sometimes and unjustly refuse to approve
of the application of some worthy applicant. Even should this be true, It would be a
small evil as compared with that forced ujwu innocent children through the employment
of trachers known to be unsuccessful.

TOO FREQUENT CHANGES OF TEACHERS.
Though I have not been long in the ranksof county f^uperlntendents I have observed
one thing which seems to me to be detrimental to the best Interests of our schools.
Especially Is this true In our rural schools. Already this office is flooded with letters of
application for schools from many of the counties of Oregon, and from nearly every
^tate this side of the Mississippi River. What does this connote? It is suggestive to
mo of the fact that in our profession there is a general shifting of forces, a migratory
movement going on which means almost a complete change in our teaching force at
least once every year.
This truth can be verified at each annual Institute, for, at that time, when It Is
Incumbent upon all teachers to attend, one can see at a glance the entire number of
teachers employed in the county. Each year we And but few familiar faces at such
meetings; the great majority are strange. In the words of Ichabod, they have come
"" to tarry " for a time with us ; and it means that Willie Lee and Kitty Sawyer of school
district numbered thirteen are to have a new teacher this term. How nice this will be !
*' Novelty is the spice of life," and soon Willie and Kitty are ready for another change
and their parents readily acquiesce. So it goes. Term after term we import new teach-
ers, and about the time they have become acquainted with the child-life, learned his
environments, observed his traits and tendencies, sounded the depths of his mental
reservoir, and are, in fact, in a position to do good and efTective work, the command
comes from Mecca to move on. And tlius the opportunity for accomplishing the most
good and for giving the best service has been lost.
We can iearn some tilings, even in this advanced age, from the ancients. I believe
that it was not an uncommon thing for the teachers and philosophers of Greece to have
pupils under their instruction for twenty years or more. Socrates, the stone cutter,
gathered his pupils around him at his workshop or under the trees in the garden of the
academy, and then taught them of the immutable laws of the universe; Plato, his
pupil, after years of instruction under the master mind, Socrates, became, in turn, the
teacher of Aristotle, and for twenty years imparted his doctrines to the " Stagirite."
Alexander the Great sat at the feet of his great preceptor, Aristotle, and from him
Imbibed guiding principles which became his mainstay throughout life.
Now, it seems to mo, if we could have more continuous services and fewer changes,
except for cause, our schools would accomplish more. I find, as a general rule, where
a teacher has taught for a number of terms in the same school that the work, as a
whole, is more uniform and bettor than In a similar school where there have been fre-
quent changes. This stands to reason. For instance, take any corporation, any factory.

or any institution wiiere skilled labor 1m employed, and you will find tbat those who
occupy the responsible positions are those who have become almost permanent fixtures
of the concern. Business men who do thingrs on business principles do not believe In
too flrequent changes. They realize that a great deal of unnecessary time is lost, expense
Incurred, and energy wasted by such methods as are employed in the teaching pro-
fession.
I.IBU ARIES.
The new library law promises to do much good to the rural schools. Although
there are some imperfections in it they can be remedied, in the main, after the law ba»
been thoroughly tried. It is, indeed, very hard to enact laws and have them absolutely
free from defects when they first go into operation. Experience, in most cases, is bound
to make some alterations. To the rural school, however, this law will make it possible
for each district to have a library, consisting of such books as can and will be read by
many of the pupils. It will, In a large measure, do away with the custom of school
boards buying books from agents, and not only paying enormous prices for them but
also getting books In which the average boy or girl takes no interest. When this law
becomes well understood, I predict that there will be much more collateral reading
done in our schools, and. In general, it will create an impetus in the right direction
M-lthin the entire district. I do not blame many of our boys and girls for not reading
more than they do. I find as reports come in from outlying districts that some of our
schools have no books, other than the text-books, save, perhaps, a few ponderous, dusty
volumes, a glance at which would chill the ardor and discourage the most enthusiastic
reader and lover of books.

NEEDED SCHOOL LEGISLATION.
Provide for an annual meeting of county superintendents.
Provide for an annual meeting of district clerks and directors.
Provide for holding Joint annual institutes where practicable.
Graduate the inheritance tax, make it more productive, and give the revenue derived
therefrom to the common school fund.
Revise the law so that only the county superintendent or members of his eighth
grade examining board may conduct eighth grade examinations.
TEACHERS' SALARIES.
The salary outlook in this county is very encouraging. During the last two years the
average monthly salary of male teachers has advanced from $54.15 to $58.06, and of female
teachers from $42.88 to $48.73, with a prospect of a material Increase next year. The higher
salaries paid teachers have not tended to shorten the terms of school, and it will undoubt-
edly have the effect of adding greatly to the strength and permanency of the teaching
force, things that are greatly to be desired.
LIBRARIES.
In my opinion the present school library law is an excellent one. However, because
its benefits have not yet been realized, and the amount spent each yearappears so small^
many districts in this county do not seem to appreciate the law or take much interest in
the matter of libraries. T think this condition has been brought about largely by the

cheap, unsuitable, and almost worthless books which, to a great extent, comprise the
libraries now on band, but I am sure this sentiment will change as soon as the present
law has been given a fair trial.
EIGHTH GRADE EXAMINATIONS.
The granting of diplomas to those who successfully pass the eighth grade examina-
tions is doing much good in this county in keeping the larger children in school, as well
as in creating an enthusiasm among all the pupils in the higher grades. Graduating
exercises are usually held in the towns, and the interest manifested by parents and
friends of the graduates is a proof that this law is greatly appreciated.
The present method of holding the examinations is quite often very unsatisfactory^
on account of unsuitable persons being appointed to conduct the examinations, and I
think the law should be changed in this particular.
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT'S WORK.
There appears to be hardly any limit to the amount and variety of work whicli seems
really essential and necessary for the county superintendent to do. Unlike that of most
ofQcials, his work includes at least two departments of government, the Judicial and the
executive. He is called upon to decide many questions, both of law and of fact, as well
as to execute the laws. There seems to be nothing which concerns the human race that
is not likely to be brought before him, and there are no questions, either in law or in text
books, that are outside of bis Jusisdiction.
The recent laws providing for eighth grade examinations and for district libraries
have added greatly to the amount of necessary correspondence and other olfice work.
The readiness with which the teachers and school officers of the county have responded
to my wishes has assisted me greatly and has added much pleasure to my work. I am
also greatly indebted to the newspapers of the county for the help they have given me
in bringing about reforms and in arousing public sentiment in favor of better schools.
DISTRICT TAX.
Last year, early in December, I prepared mimeographed forms showing the amount
of taxable property in each district and calling the attention of school officers to the
fact that if they wished to levy a special tax it must be voted and reported on or before
January first. Another form was attached, to be used in reporting the amount of the '
levy. The county clerk then filled in and certified to the valuation of the taxable prop-
erty in each district and mailed the forms to the various district clerks. About the
same time I sent a circular letter to each of the school boards, giving the substance of the
law relative to the time and manner of making special levies, and giving the number of
mills voted annually by some of the most progressive districts. By thus having their
attention called to this matter at the proper time, and also having the suggestions and
forms for their guidance, most of the districts that had not already done so held special
meetings for the purpose of voting taxes, and the results were most gratifying. There
was an increase of fifty per cent over the previous year in the number making special
levies. The total amouut levied exceeded the amount of the previous year by $12,084.45,
making over J8.00 for each child enumerated in the county.
SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.
The rural districts in some parts of Umatilla County have greatly decreased in school
attendance during the past few years. This has been brought about mainly by two
causes. In the wheatrgrowlng sections, as well as In the stock-raising portions of the
county, the land is falling into the hands of large owners, who through purchase or by
leasing, control many hundreds and sometimes thousands of acres. The second cause is
the prosperity of the farmers, who, in order to secure better school and social advantages,,
leave the farms and move to the cities and towns. Some of the cities, in order to secure
the patronage of the farmers, have ofl*ered free tuition to the children, and many families
move into the towns during the winter season and return to their farms in the spring.
Although this system weakens the country districts, it slill has its compensation in the
longer terms and better facilities secured in the graded schools of the towns. In the fruit,
and other irrigated sections of the county the rural schools are rapidly increasing in
172 Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction.
l>opulation and wealth. In several of these schools the attendance has become so large
that us many as three teachers are employed, and in length of term, salaries paid, and In
eiiuipment generally, they are equal to many of the town schools. In the northwestern
portion of the county there are several districts which contain an area of over sixty
s(iuare miles each, and yet have such a small attendance that it is very difficult to main-
tain school. Much of this country is sago brush plain, which is covered by the Govern-
ment's East Umatilla irrigation project, and several private irrigation enterprises, all of
which are now under construction. It will be buta few years until these larger districts,
which are now practically an uninhabited desert, will be divided into many smaller dis-
tricts having as dense a population and as well graded schools as in the other irrigated
portions of the county. The average per cent of the attendance throughout the entire
county does not differ materially from that of former years.
INSTITUTES.
During the past two years the institute work in this county has been highly success-
ful, judging from the splendid attendance and the interest manifested by the teachers.
In 1904 the annual Institute was held in Pendleton in conjunction with the Inland
Empire Teachers' Association. During 1905 our annual institute was suspended and a
large part of the institute fund used in helping to defray the expenses of the Educational
Congress at the Lewis and Clark Exposition. It transpired late in the fall that good
speakers could be secured at very little cost, and as it seemed to be the wish of the teach-
ers that we hold a county institute, such a meeting was convened in Pendleton on No-
vember 3d and 4th. I asked boards of directors to allow their teachers full pay while at-
tending this meeting, and practically all of the teachers of the CQunty were present.
This meeting was in every respect, except legally, an annual institute, and as is custom-
ary on such occasslons, was voted the best institute ever held In the county.
The area of Umatilla County is so great that I find the mo^t successful way to hold
local institutes is to divide the county into three sections and hold meetings In each di-
vision. This brings the institute within reach of most of the the teachers in the county.
Mimeographed programmes are sent to each teacher in the division, and at the bottom
of the programme is given the names of all those teachers who are expected to be repre-
sented at the meeting, either in person or by written excuse. This list does not include
any teachers who reside more than eight or ten miles from the meeting place. At the
meeting a roll is called of all those whose names appear at the.bottom of the programme,
* and if there are any excuses they are read to the teachers. In the office a parmanent record
is kept of each Institute, giving the programme and a record of each teacher's attend-
ance. I find that these things tend to stimulate attendance at local institutes, which is
not really compulsory, and therefore sometimes difficult to secure.
UNION COUNTY.
b:. E. BRAGG, Superintendent.
In compliance with your request I will endeavor to give a brief written report of the
educational outlook in this county.
Ever since I have been in this work the teachers have been exceptionally good in
attending Institutes, both annual and local. At least ninety-five per cent of the teach-
ers attend the annual institute in this county, or have attendance certificates from some
other county. While we did not hold so many local meetings as common last year, the
attendance at what we did hold was better than common.
Teachers' registers are usually neatly and correctly kept, and most of them under-
stand the register perfectly and are very prompt and accurate in making out their
reports. District clerks also are usually very accurate and prompt in their reports.
Last year not one report had to be returned to the clerk for correction, and only two
came to this office to make small corrections. The course of study is now recognized in
this county as a part, and a big part, of the school work. Practically every teacher who
has been in this county for one year or more is thoroughly acquainted with the course
of study and applies it to the work of the school room. The school buildings and appa-
ratus are improved every year, as are the grounds. Memorial Day and Arbor Day are
Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction. 17?
generally observed in this county. At Allcel this year I attended the Arbor Day exer-
cises and saw two hundred young trees planted, and up to this time every tree Is grow-
ing. Each year shows a gradual improvement in the daily attendance record, as well
as an impfovement in the average length of the terms.
Salaries get better every year, and as the salaries get better the permanancy of the
teachers' work is more assured. We do not have many failures in teaching, though
some are better than others. There is a decided improvement in the qualification or
teachers, and a good per cent of the teachers of this county have had at least a high
school education. In the last year we have had very few applicants fall at the teachers'
examination; at the last one there were but two failures in a class of thirty-one appli-
cants. A good per cent of the districts already had some sort of a library started, and
now since the new library law is in effect, every one will have at least a few good books
for a nucleus, and many districts will have a very nice library the first year.
Nine districts In this county are doing work above the eighth grade, though three of
them are only doing ninth grade work so far.
While sometimes the work seems slow, I can notice at least some improvement all
along the line. The teachers and school oflScers are usually ready to meet any improve-
ment half way, and taking it all in all, I think I am Justified in reporting progress.
♦WALLOWA COUNTY.
JOHN W. KERNS, Superintendent.
WASCO COUNTY.
JUSTUS T. NEFF, Superintendent.
A county institute was held at The Dalles August 30, 31, and September 1, 1904. No
county Institute was held last year. Instead, five local Institutes were held in different
parts of the county, and a portion of the Institute fund was expended In securing good
instructors for these meetings. The results were very satisfactory.
At the county Institute and also at the local institutes the State course of study
was made the basis of the work done.
During the past two years nine school buildings have been erected and two have
been enlarged, the total expenditure for the same being about $14,000. In the same time
the school population has Increased from 5,*252 to 5,473, and the average daily attendance
from 2,322 to 2,765.
Forty-three of the t-eventy-four districts of this county levied a special tax last year.
There are a few districts in the county that do not levy a special tax, and yet receive
more money from the county fund than they contribute to that fund.
On the other hand there are districts which always levy a local tax, and in addition
contribute more to the county school fund than is returned to them from that fund. It
would be well If some plan could be devised whereby the amount received by a district
from the county fund in excess of what it contributed to that fund, would depend upon
the disposition of the district to help itself.
There are two high schools in this county, each maintaining a four year course.
There are eight schools also in which grades above the 8th have been established.
A proposition to consolidate four districts in Hood River Valley was defeated at the
last annual meeting.
Frequent change of teachers makes it ditficult to keep up the supply in this county,
and also interferes greatly with the organization and supervision of the work. Of the
one hundred twenty-five positions in the county, not less than seventy-five will change
teachers at the beginning of the coming fall term. Many of these teachers will be
strangers in the county and some of them will be without experience. A higher stand-
ard of qualification, higher wages for well qualified teachers, and longer continuous-
terms of school would at least improve conditions.
*No report received.
174 Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction.
The first grade county certificate either should be made a State certificate and baaed
upon a State examl nation, or its registration should be made discretionary with the
county superintendent of the county In which it is presented for registration. It Is very
probable that the school interests of this State would not sufiTer if the primary certifi-
cate were abolished.
The law forbidding school districts to have on hand at the close of the year more
than ifdO of the common school funds should be repealed. It interferes with the distri-
bution of the school funds and with the payment of teachers.
Provision should be made for the better enforcement of the compulsory attendance
law. Why should country districts be exempt from the law compelling attendance
during the whole of the school term?
WASHINGTON COUNTY.
M. C. CASE, Superintendent.
COUNTY INSTITUTES.
For several years the annual Institute In this county has been held in October.
I^one was held during the year 1905 owing to the educational congress being held in con-
nection with the Lewis and Clark Exposition. The annual institute for 1905 was attended
by 113 wide-awake teachers, and at present we are looking forward to our coming insti-
tute, expecting to derive great profit therefrom. We endeavor tx> hola the annual
Institute in this county shortly after the schools open for the year*s work that the
teachers may adapt all the valuable methods presented by able instructors and have
the same to use in iheir work during the year.
LOCAL INSTITUTES.
Our county is favorably situated for holding local institutes, and since we are
allowed to use institute funds for conducting these institutes we employ instructors
whose teachings none feel that they can aflbrd to miss. During the past year we have
held three, at which the attendance and interest were very gratifying to instructors and
county superintendent. We aim to have the local institutes such a feast of good things
and so helpful in the work of the schoolroom that no live teachers feel that they can
afford to miss one of them.
TEACHERS' REPORTS.
Teachers' reports are not all prepared with care, owing to carelessness in keeping the
records. A majority, however, are correct, neat, and bespeak the careful, painstaking
teachers that prepare them. We are waging elTorts, however, to secure better work on
this line. Part of the work of the superintendent Jn visiting the schools should be to
examine the registers, and commend accuracy and neatness when same is found.
CLERKS' REPORTS.
Clerks' reports are occasionally not only inaccurate but incomplete. This trouble
arises partly from inaccuracy of the teachers' records and, also, from the carelessness or
inefficiency of the school clerks. Errors thus arising are greatly obviated by the super-
intendent, before sending out the duplicate blanks for annual reports, filling in the
financial part stating, " Cash on hand at beginning of the year," "Amount of county
funds received during the year," and "Amount of State funds received during the year."
A circular letter accompanying the blanks when sent out from the superintendent's
office stimulating the clerks to greater effort, leads lo more care and accuracy in prepar-
ing the report.
COURSE OF STUDY.
The State Course of Study proves to be a great help to the schools in correlating the
work in our graded schools, and guiding the work to be done and gauging the work
accomplished in all our schools. It is especially helpful to inexperienced teachers and
new teachers in a school, showing what each pupil has accomplished and pointing out
the line of work to pursue that at its completion the pupil shall have a good common
school education.
Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction. 175
SCHOOLHOUSES.
With the exception of a few school buildings In this countjE the exteriors of our
iBChool bouses are a credit to the State, but only a very few are fit on the interior for the
development of health, comfort, and contentment that are essential to make the school-
room an attractive and fit place for pupils. Dusty, dingy schoolrooms are not conducive
to health nor favorable to the results for which the school is instituted. Much improve-
ment Is being made toward bettering the interior of the buildings and will not cease, it
is hoped, until the schoolroom shall equal in attractiveness and sanitary conditions
the very best arranged homes.
SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.
Much of the funds raised to maintain our schools is wasted by the irregular attend-
ance of pupils. Absence not only affects the progress of the pupil staying out of school, but
impedes the progress of the whole class to which he belongs. Stringent laws should be
enacted and enforced to compel regular attendance of pupils. between the ages of seven
and fourteen years of age, unless from some unavoidable cause said pupils are detained
from school. The State cannot afford to provide and maintain the public schools and
have the boys and girls grow up in Ignorance, and again provide penal institutions and
almshouses for the same after they have passed the school age. Nothing so hampers
the work of our schools as this one thing, irregular attendance.
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT'S WORK.
Owing to the increased work of the office in this county, the supervisory work of the
superintendent is limited. With the ninety-nine schools to visit and all the necessary
official work connected therewith, the days are crowded with work from the beginning
to the end of the year, counting every month.
DISTRICT TAX.
Some districts find it necessary to levy a special tax. These have less, or only about,
the number of pupils that can be profitably taught by the number of teachers engaged.
With this number of pupils the county and State funds are inadequate to maintain the
amount of school needed. But where the number of pupils is greater than the teachers
employed should manage, the county and State funds are amply sufficient without any
special tax excepting for expenses not payable with these funds.
DISCIPLINE.
The criterion for estimating the worth of a teacher seems to be, generally, her ability
to maintain order. More districts change teachers on this ground than for any other
cause. However, the Inability of a teacher to keep order is indicative of various other
faults.
LIBRARIES.
A need long felt is about to be realized in the fine list of library books soon to be dis-
tributed among the districts as a result of our recent library Is^w. With this present
law In efllBct a few years will give our school children access to a valuable collection of
reference books. If the rules governing the use and care of these books are strictly
adhered to, the investment will be one that will never be regretted. Care should be
taken that no book should be scheduled In the list that would not have an ennobling
effect on the mind of the reader.
HIGH SCHOOLS.
Each county should have, centrally located, a county high school. About forty
rural schools in this county are maintaining a ninth grade to accommodate in each of
these schools from two to ten ninth grade pupils. One-ninth of the teacher's time and
one-ninth of the fundsof each district arecxpended on a small ninth grade class. Funds
so expended would cover considerable of the expense of supporting a county high
school, while the advantages of such a school would be of inestimable value.
TEACHERS' QUALIFICATIONS.
Teachers having a broad knowledge of the subjectrmatter, and who have had pro-
fessional training, if i>osse8sed of natural ability, are usually a force in their work ; but
176 Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction.
those with prafesgional training without the practlenl knowledge of the subjects taught
are usually not as successful in accomplishing desired results as teachers with a thor>
ough knowledge of the branches, and who are without the professional training. We
have all of these classes in this county, and where favoritism does not place the teachers
the patrons very soon form a correct estimate of the instructors' qualifications. Able
teachers are generally appreciated and are always in demand at wages above the
average.
PERMANANCY OF TEACHERS' WORK.
Teachers in this county are, as a rule, a transitory class. Those who have good posi-
tions and are me*»ting with success are usually prospecting for better i>ositions, and
those meeting with ill success are forced to keep changing. School boards, realizing the
risk of changing teachers, are coming to learn that it pays to go down into their pockets,
and raise the salary of a competent teacher commensurable to the value received.
SCHOOL LEGISLATION.
But few suggestions will be offered under this subject.
1. Where county high schools have been organized all funds apportioned per capita
on the enumemtlon of pupils in actual attendance at said school should become a part
of the funds for defraying the expenses of same instead of going to their home district.
Rem. This helps to foster the establishment of county high schools.
2. All eighth grade examinations should be conducted at the county high school as
an entrance examination therein, and certificates received at said examination should
entitle the holder to admittance into any high school in the State.
Rem. This would result in a fair test of all applicants, and save the county much
expense, over the present system. The May examination cost this county over 8200.
WHEELER COUNTY.
H. J. SIMMONS, Superintendent.
During the past two years two county institutes were held in Wheeler County.
Good instructors were secured and much effort put forth by Mr. Kennedy, then super*
intendent of the county, but now deceased, to have successful institutes. His efforts,
however, were not rewarded by a large attendance of teachers. It has been the custom
to hold annual institutes in the county during the first week in September, and, since
the demand for teachers is greater than the home supply, many who teach in the county-
are away at this time. It was thought best, in view of this fact, to hold annual insti-
tutes some time in the spring when more teachers were present in the county. We shall
give the plan a trial during the current year. The institute fund on September 1, 1906,
was S81.50.
The work done by teachers, so far as the present superintendent has been able to
inspect it, has, on the*vhole, been well done. The best work has been done by nonresi>
dent teachers, who, I believe, come to us better prepared in qualifications and in expe-
rience than our home teachers. It is gratifying to note the increased usefulness of resi-
dent teachers who have recently taken normal courses, of whom there are now q uite a
number. Teacher's registers are well kept, and their reports have been very complete
and accurate.
Clerk's reports have been desultory, and in many cases inaccurate, incomplete, or
wholly unsatisfactory. Twenty per cent of the districts have not expended the money
apportioned to them for school purposes, and It was even found necessary for two dis-
tricts to suffer the penalty of the law for failure to report at all during the school year
ending in June, 1906.
The State course of study is used universally throughout the county, and, where un-
derstood, is simplifying school work, and guiding many teachers, young and old, to
more effective effort. During the past year the superintendent has had several calls for
the course from parents.
School attendance in the country districts is very poor, frequently falling below fifty
per cent of the number of persons of school age in the district. This condition could
Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction. 177
probably be ameliorated by tactful work on the part of the county superintendent; but
the present incumbent, while not presuming to excuse his omission of duty in several
cases, still urges his lack of time, being himself obliged to teach. Schoolhouses are
usually bad, although in a few districts fine buildings have been erected, one in district
twenty-one costing upwards of $S,000. The average value of country schoolhouses is
about <(450.
It ia not the custom to levy district taxes in the county. During the year 1905 only
three districts of the thirty in the county had a special tax. It Is interesting to observe
that the average nunber of pupils belonging to the schools maintained by those three
districts is twenty-one per cent higher than for the districts not levying a tax, while the
length of term of school is nine months to four and one-half months.
The county maintains a high school at the county seat, which Is doing excellent
work. Several district schools are teaching grades above the eighth. As a rule such dis-
trict high schools employ two teachers, but a few teachers from other dlstritcts have
made complaint that they have been compelled to teach nine grades during a single
term. It would seem wise, In view of such cases as were last mentioned, to pass laws
forbidding districts that employ less than three teachers to teach the high school
branches. I should also favor passing a law to increase the duties of county school su-
perintendents now receiving less than S1,000 to that amount, making their attendance
at certain educational meetings compulsory, and also at such superintendent's meetings
as may from time to time be held throughout the State. The basic principle of our edu-
cational system J believe to be equal rights for all, and not special privileges to pupils,
who, by accident of residence, live In more populous counties. These we do favor, unless
we provide for pupils of sparsely populated counties, schools as good as for them. True^
we have some good laws that are designed to correct this evil, but in order to put them
into effective use it seems evident that It will require the Intelligent supervision of a
competent person, not for a part of his time, but for all of his time. No person can
afford to devote all of his time to the work of a county superintendent at the salary paid
in some of the counties of the State. I also favor the abolishment of that part of the
district clerk's duties relative to the handling of school money (In districts of the third
class only), adding those duties to the offices of treasurer and superintendent of the
county.
YAMHILIi COUNTY.
L. R. ALDERMAN, Superintendent.
We greatly missed the annual Institute last year. Our local Institutes were a suc-
cess. Our plan was to divide the county Into six districts with a leader In each. The
course of study was divided Into the following heads: Theory and Practice of Teaching,
as given by White, English History, American Literature, and General Topics. As a
meeting was held in each division each month, and as far as possible on different dates,
many teachers attended meetings outside of their districts. The plan secured the attend-
ance and also the cooperative study of the teachers. We shall follow the same plan the
coming year.
Many of the districts are Inquiring about plans for modern school buildings. It
' seems to me tnat it would be economy for the State Superintendent to have printed a
booklet on the subject.
The directors of the county are learning that a small tax for school purposes Is a
Kood investment, and that it pays as well to keep school property up In good shape as
it does to keep private property In good condition. The Idea Is spreading that It Is not
the idea of the law that the State and county money shall defray all the expenses of the
school. Thirty-three districts voted a tax last year, nine more than the year before.
A goodly Interest is being manifested In high schools. Most of the towns of the
county have now voted In the full high school course.
A number of the districts of the county continue to make the mistake of thinking
that one teacher can teach nine or ten grades. My observation has been that these
grades in a one-room school work to the detriment of the lower grades.
Supt. Pub. Ins. 12
178 Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction.
9 •
Memorial Day was generally observed by the schools in connection with the O. A. R.,
to the great advantage of the children. Where the schools have been near streams, in
addition to decorating the graves of the soldiers the children have strewn roses on the
water in memory of our brave sailors.
Arbor Day was made much of, as the Oregon Nursery Co., of Salem, kindly gave us
346 trees. Most of the trees are growing nicely. I am of the opinion that Arbor Day
comes too late for our Oregon climate. I shall make an effort this year to have each dis-
trict enlarge its grounds to at least two and one-half acres so that there will be room for
trees, a play ground for the girls and a good ball ground for the boys. Many of the
grounds are now so small that the children have to play in the road. If the schoolhouse
and grounds should be the pride of the district, it should be large enough to accommo
date the district.
The attendance of the county is much poorer than it should be. I am of the opin-
ion that the apportionment of funds should be based on the days' attendance rather
Ihan on the number of children in the district.
GENERAL SURVEY
OF EDUCATIONAL WORK.
GENERAL STATEMENT OF CONDITIONS.
I think I am not too optimistic when I say that the general
school conditions of the State are quite satisfactory. They
have not reached the ideal condition, and they never will;
but when I say they are quite satisfactory, I mean that with
the educational forces now at work with the enthusiasm behind
them which is increasing on all sides, and with the helpful
<;o-operation of all the school factors which now predominate,
I can see mighty changes for the better in the school system
of our beloved State. I am firmly convinced that there never
has been a time in the history of the world when the children
of the country were better trained morally, mentally, and
physically than is being done at the present time. That must
not blind us to the fact, however, that there are mighty sociol-
ogical changes going on all around us, and that the school must
constantly about face to meet these changes. That we may be
able to do this I have not the least doubt. How we shall do
this I am unable to say, but the American spirit will solve the
problems as they are presented and they will be solved right.
There has been so little friction between the State depart-
ment and county departments that one would be within the
realm of truth were he to say there has been none. Coulity
superintendents, as a rule, have been loyal, conscientious, and
have ever striven to elevate the educational standards of
their respective counties. The teachers in their relations to
their work have been as a class energetic, faithful, and pro-
gressive, and in the main successful. The pupils as a body
have been obedient and studious, and the parents have by
their levy of taxes and by their attitude toward the organ-
ization over and over again evidenced their fealty to the com-
mon schools. I would not have you believe that the system is
perfect, but what I mean to say is that, taking everything
into consideration, I firmly believe that we are making pro-
182 Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction,
gress and that conditions are such that great things may be
expected of the schools of the future.
May I ask you to carefully examine the statistical part of
this report, for I believe there is much that will prove helpful
to you. I would respectfully ask that you carefully read the
special reports of the several county superintendents, as they
really represent the actual conditions in their respective coun-
ties, which must necessarily be so, as the county superintend-
ents are much nearer the every-day working conditions of the
schools than I am.
EIGHTH GRADE EXAMINATIONS.
The act passed by the last Legislative Assembly providing
remuneration for conducting eighth grade examinations and
grading manuscripts has materially aided in rendering such
examinations more stable and potent. The provision sanction-
ing a member of the school board to submit the questions, not
only tends towards uniformity in the preparation of manu-
scripts, but, also, causes such member to become intensely
interested in the school and its practical operations; hence,
I regard this feature of the law particularly strong. Parents
and pupils have become so interested in these examinations
that the time allotted for the examination of manuscripts is:
too short to enable the boards to properly grade them ; there-
fore, I would recommend that the time limit be extended from
three to five days in such counties. These examinations are
very popular, especially in rural communities, as they tend to
encourage thoroughness and also a continuance in the work
of the school to the end of the course. The preparation of
the questions by the State Department enables the Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction to indicate lines of work and
also to test the thoroughness of the pupils' preparation.
The following table shows the number of pupils presenting
themselves for examination and also the number who were
successful :

COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE.
The compulsory attendance law now on our statute books
is practically a dead letter in that it makes no specific pro-
vision as to its enforcement. Experience in other States as
well as our own has demonstrated that an efficient compulsory
law is only possible when there is a truant officer whose duty
it is to look after truants in accordance with rules and reg-
ulations governing truancy. I am strongly of the opinion
that the educational interests of the State would be materially
advanced by passing a compulsory educational law which will
compel parents to send their children to school. You will
notice I say parents, because it is at their doors that much
of the failure of children to attend school should be laid. The
compulsory law referred to in this report is not the one com-
monly known as the "Child Labor Law."
184 Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction,
CONSOLIDATION OF SCHOOLS.
While but few districts have taken advantage of the con-
solidation law, yet, there is much interest manifested in many
localities and I hope to see this interest finally effect actual
consolidation in the near future. The people are conservative,
and rightly so when changes from a long established custom
are proposed; but I am satisfied that after the plan has been
fully tested our people will recognize its advantages and
gladly avail themselves of them. Consolidation is now passing
through the stage of serious discussion on the part of the
people, and I have so much confidence in their good judg-
ment that I believe they will decide eventually in favor of
consolidation. I herewith append a letter from Principal
Kirk, of the Newberg schools, which certainly speaks well of
the practical workings of consolidation in the Newberg dis-
trict where it has been in operation for several years.
Newberg, Oregon, September 1, 1906.
Supt. J. H. Ackerman.
Dear Sir: It is with pleasure that I comply with your request by
sending you an article on "Consolidation of School Districts; Its Advan-
tages and Disadvantages," as exemplified in the Newberg District.
Respectfully yours,
R. A. Kirk,
Principal Newberg School,
The question of consolidation of districts and transportation of pupils
is occupying the attention of the people in many parts of Oregon at
the present time. Many are anxious to obtain information concerning
its value in real practice.
While the experiment in Newberg, where two wagons are now used to
convey upils, shows such a system in use, it might not be considered
consolidation in its strictest sense. A district was about to be formed
west of Newberg from territory belonging to three other districts, but
some distance from any of the school houses. After much discussion
this territory was annexed to the Newberg school district, and a wagon
was started to convey the pupils, as some lived almost four miles from
the school building in town. This was two years ago, and we are now
beginning to see more clearly the advantages and disadvantages of the
-consolidation plan, and there are some of both.
Of supreme importance is the question, does consolidation afford th.e
child any better opportunity for an education? This is not the question
usually asked first by those considering the value of the change, but
the schools exist for the good of the child. In this, consolidation is
surely an advantage, inasmuch as the town school or the consolidated
Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction. 185
school will be more thoroughly graded and under closer supervision.
There will be more months of school, better equipment, and trained
teachers with a longer tenure of office. All these are assets for the
child. Then, where the children are hauled, the driver is held respon-
sible for their conduct and there is no opportunity for bad language
and meanness in general.
The greatest hindrance to sucessfully conveying pupils in Oregon
today is the condition of the public roads. This is one of the causes for
what appears to me to be the greatest objection to the system, i. e.,
keeping the children so many hours away from home. During the short
winter days some children must start by daylight, or before, and do not
arrive home till dark. But the principal, or the one in charge, must
arrange these details. He may allow them to come a little late in the
morning and start them home a little early in the evening. He must
have authority to direct the drivers, as, from their point of view, some
important details are very unimportant.
It is indeed a cold ride for children twice a day, as is often suggested,
and we find some difficulty in getting them to dress warm enough during
the raw days of the winter. None of the parents have spoken of this,
and there have been no bad results so far as we know.
The objection that is the greatest obstacle is the cost of conveying
the pupils. We have found that the total income of taxes derived from
the territory annexed is not quite equal to the cost of hauling and
educating the children from this part of the district. While Newberg
district is losing slightly by the arrangement, Newberg as a town is
gaining, as this part of the district is building up, and the gain in trade
more than counterbalances the increased outlay by the district. Two
years ago when this territory was annexed, one wagon or hack was
used, and all within two miles of the school building are not allowed to
ride. Last year the number had increased till it was found necessary to
secure another conveyance. The first hack is owned by the district,
and a farmer is secured to drive at $30 a month. In the second case
a man who furnishes everything needed does the work at $35 a month.
It is expected that this will be reduced this year.
I have now given as clearly and fairly as I am able the advantages
and disadvantages of consolidation where pupils must be hauled at
public expense. The question is whether or not the gain is greater than
the loss. To summarize, the advantages are, more months of a better
school, having more efficient teachers, better equipment, more thoroughly
graded, closer supervision, and more carefully guarded on the road to
and from school. The disadvantages are longer hours away from home,
a cold ride and slightly increased cost. Necessarily the hours away
from home will be a little longer, but where the roads are fairly good
this would not amount to much. As to the cold ride, every one knows
that parents need find no difficulty in providing clothing sufficiently
warm for an Oregon winter.
18G Report of Superintendent of Public InstrU'Ction.
Thus we find that the educational opportunities are very much en-
larged and the expense is slightly increased. But we can not expect
to get something for nothing.
Nevertheless the gain far outweighs the cost. It is a splendid invest-
ment. It is folly, of course, to hasten to make such changes without
careful consideration, and there is no danger of the people doing so*
In some localities it might not be feasible. In many it would be a
great advantage to make the change now. Some who were opposed ta
this system at first, and whose children ride long distances to school,
now speak very favorably of the benefits derived from^the change.
The time is not far distant when consolidated districts will be found
all over Oregon.
SALARIES.
There is no greater problem confronting the American
people than that of teachers' salaries and, hence, it is one
that can not and will not be settled in a day. With the in-
creased cost of living, the ever increasing educational de-
mand for better preparation, the regarding teaching as more
and more professional, more is demanded in a social way,
both as to living and dress, and this carries with it to a
certain degree a demand that a teacher shall give the whole
of her time to school work and her vacations to recreation*
These conditions have so changed the status of teaching that
a teacher is compelled to receive more and more compensation
in order to fulfill the requirements of the times.
To one who has not given the subject careful attention it
would seem that the average salary shown in our statistics
would be ample, and it would do fairly well should the teacher
receive the average monthly wage for twelve months in the
year, which unfortunately is not the case. Our statistics
show that the average number of months of school is but
little more than one-half the number of months in the calen-
dar year. In other words, the average teacher is out of em-
ployment really one-half the time, during which time her
expenses must be met and as I have previously said, public
opinion is coming to be such that she loses caste as a teacher
to a certain extent if she engages in other work during vaca-
tion time. The salary question will never be settled right
until the teacher is paid a fair wage for every month in the
year. I understand full well that this means a greatly in-
creased financial budget, but I also fully understand that in
Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction, 187
the interests of the State we can not afford to do otherwise
than settle the question right. I speak of this question at
length in order that you may fully understand the problem
as you consider school finances.
PARENTS' MEETINGS.
Much has been accomplished in the way of a heartier and
more intelligent co-operation between the school and home
by means of parents' meetings, which have been held in
many districts. The greater part of the friction concerning
school matters between the school teacher and home teacher
is caused by misunderstandings; hence, any movement look-
ing to secure a better acquaintance between the school and
home is very helpful and as parents' meetings do this, they
should be encouraged.
COUNTY INSTITUTES.
County institutes have been held annually in each county
and have been productive of much good. The several super-
intendents have vied with each other in securing the best
available instructors, consequently the instruction has been
of a high order. As a rule, teachers do not object to the time
and expense incurred while attending these meetings; pro-
vided, they feel that the work of the institute will be of
practical value. The instructors have as a rule kept their
feet on the earth, so to speak, for they realized that with the
constant change in the personnel of the teaching force there
must be a certain amount of the work which must apply to
the ordinary routine of teaching, while at the same time a
. certain part of the work should be adapted to the needs oi
the more experienced teachers. This has been fairly well
done, especially in the graded institutes; hence, I am firmly
convinced that better work could be done in many institutes
were they graded.
I endeavor to attend as many institutes as possible during
the year and usually succeed in reaching some twenty-seven
counties each year. Practically, I reach, annually, all counties
that can be reached by rail, and semi-annually those counties
which must be reached by stage.
188 Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction.
SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
Many new buildings have been erected, and it is a source
of much satisfaction to be able to say that in most instances
they have been planned with due regard to the best arrange-
ment for heating, lighting, ventilating, and convenience of
the children. This is especially true of those buildings in
villages and cities. I regret the necessity, however, of re-
porting that in many rural communities too many buildings
are constructed without any attention being paid to these im-
portant factors. The principal reason for this is that the
school boards do not see the necessity of employing a com-
petent architect for small buildings; hence, a carpenter is
employed who knows nothing of the latest and best in school-
construction. It would be of great assistance to such boards
if the State Department was authorized and directed to pre-
pare a pamphlet on school-house architecture and the best
means of heating, lighting, etc., for free distribution. I be-
lieve that such a pamphlet should be prepared and this de-
partment will be pleased to undertake its preparation if you
so authorize and direct.
SUPPLY OF TEACHERS.
There has been an adequate supply of teachers for schools
paying a fair salary, but in some districts having but three or
four months of school and offering but thirty or forty dollars
per month, there has been a scarcity of teachers. The time
is rapidly approaching in Oregon when efficient teachers can
not be secured for starvation wages and, in the interest of
the children, I am thankful that it is so. No provision for
training teachers will provide a sufficient number of teachers
to meet such conditions.
LIBRARIES.
Material progress has been made in forwarding the library
movement in the State. The people are awake to the benefits
to be derived from placing suitable books in the hands of the
children. In order to secure the best results in library work,
the book must be taken to the child ; hence, the wisdom of the
'*ten-cent" library law, enacted by the 1905 Legislative Assem-
Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction. 18{>
bly, as it does that very thing. The law will be more effective
from the fact that the county superintendents have the advice
and experience of the efficient secretary of the Oregon Library
Commission, Miss Cornelia Marvin. The law is an excellent
one, especially for rural communities.
STATE TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION.
The State is so divided geographically that it has been
deemed advisable to divide it for State Association purposes
into two divisions. Western and Eastern, thereby bringing
the influences of the Association nearer the general public
and teachers. The plan is heartily endorsed, and will be
continued in the future. On account of the Educational Con-
gress held in Portland, August, 1905, there was no State
Association in 1905, but plans are now formulated for hold-
ing sessions in Portland and Pendleton in November, 1906.
The amount heretofore appropriated for the State Association
has been very beneficial, and I earnestly recommend that the
usual appropriation for this work be made. In accordance
with an act of the Twenty-third Legislative Assembly, where-
by any county superintendent might at his discretion dis-
pense with his annual institute for 1905, and use the whole or
a part of his county institute fund for said year for defraying
the expenses of the Educational Congress at Portland during
the Lewis and Clark Exposition, the superintendents of the
following counties suspended their institutes for 1905, and
used a part of their funds for defraying the expenses of the
Congress: Baker, Benton, Clackamas, Clatsop, Columbia,
Coos, Crook, Curry, Douglas, Gilliam, Harney, Klamath, Lake,
Linn, Malheur, Marion, Multnomah, Polk, Sherman, Tilla-
mook, Umatilla, Union, Wasco, Washington, and Yamhill.
Taking into consideration the presence of the eminent men
from all parts of the Union who generously tendered us their
assistance the high grade papers read, the splendid interest
manifested, and the unusually large attendance, we feel that
no mistake was made in holding the Congress, thereby plac-
ing the educational interests of the commonwealth on a
parity with other lines of activity.
190 Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction.
SCHOOL OFFICERS' CONVENTIONS.
Under the advice and direction of their respective superin-
tendents, the counties of Polk and Yamhill have perfected
organizations for holding meetings of school officers. These
meetings have been so successful that I am thoroughly con-
vinced that we would take a decided step forward were legis-
lative provisions made whereby such meetings could be held
in each county of the State for the purpose of conferring and
discussing school affairs pertaining to the respective districts
and counties. The law should be so framed as to secure a
representation from each school district in the county. Per-
haps there is no proposition more vital to the best interests
of the schools than that of school board conventions, because
school boards are made by law the legal custodians of the
school funds and as such they have the disposal of the same;
hence, the importance of conferring with other school boards
as to how the funds entrusted to their care shall be most
wisely and economically expended.
HIGH SCHOOLS.
According to the Oregon school law, two classes of high
schools may be established — county and district. The follow-
ing counties have taken advantage of the law by organizing
county high schools: Klamath, Crook, Harney, Josephine,
and Wheeler. These schools are giving most excellent satis-
faction, so much so that I regard the law authorizing their
establishment as one of the most beneficent on our statute
books. Several other counties are seriously considering the
advisability of organizing county high schools, and in all
probability will do so within a few years. The high school
movement is being very favorably received by our people, so
much so that nearly every community is now supporting at
least one of the high school grades and is adding the others
whenever possible. The question as to the advisability of
high schools has passed the stage of discussion and the ques-
tion now with the people is, what shall their courses of study
be, and how may their efficiency be increased? The attitude
of our people towards high schools certainly augurs well for
the cause of education in Oregon. There is a demand for
legislation favoring union high schools, whereby two or more
Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction, 191
districts may unite for high school purposes, only, with which
this department is in hearty sympathy, consequently I trust
that a bill incorporating this feature may meet with your
approval.
DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS.
The method of apportioning school funds upon the school
•census may be seriously questioned. The purpose of the fund
is to provide the best school privileges possible, for each child,
regardless of its location. It will readily be seen that the
sparsely settled district is greatly handicapped by this method
of distribution. A better method would be to base it upon
the number of teachers employed. This would enable the
small district to employ as efficient a teacher and have as
many months school each year as the larger and more favored
district, privileges to which the smaller district is justly en-
titled. California has such a law. It will be observed that
Califorina has carried our fifty dollars for each district far-
ther than we have, with this important difference — it bases
the apportionment upon the number of teachers employed in-
stead of upon the number of districts, which, in my opinion,
is a wiser provision.
SUPERVISION.
One of the greatest educational needs, especially for rural
schools, is more efficient supervision. In order to accomplish
this, the superintendent must devote the whole of his time to
supervision, proper, and he should be furnished sufficient
clerical assistance to enable him to do this; he should also
receive a salary which would justify him in doing so. An-
other reason for allowing the superintendent clerical assist-
ance is, that the public should have daily access to his office
in order that any desired information may be secured without
delay. In other words, school affairs are as important as any
other county affairs; hence should be done right and done at
once. Several counties have already recognized this by
granting their superintendents office help, and I sincerely
trust that other counties may emulate their examples.
OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
It has been thq policy of the office to answer all communica-
tions promptly; but, in many instances, instead of answering
192 Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction.
in full we have referred correspondents to their respective
county superintendents, who had original jurisdiction in the
matters submitted. Many times, by reading between the
lines, it was evident that the superintendent had already given
his opinion, which for some reason was not satisfactory,
hence the communication to this office. In all such cases we
have declined to give an opinion, being fearful that by doing^
so we might unwittingly unjustly reverse the county superin-
tendent; but, in every instance, we have said that we would
be willing at any time to give the question due consideration
when regularly presented on appeal.
Who are legal voters at school meetings has caused more
correspondence and trouble than any other one question. I
do not know that it could be amended to make it more clear;
but, as it now stands, it is the cause of endless trouble.
I might add that the correspondence has greatly increased,
which increase will necessitate a larger appropriation for
clerical assistance.
OBSERVANCE OF LAW.
I take great pleasure in saying that there is a decided ten-
dency towards following the letter of the law by all con-
cerned in its administration. There has been a decided
change for the better in that but few applications have come
to this department for the setting aside of a part of the law
on the assumption that the school interests of a certain local-
ity may be better subserved by so doing. During the admin-^
istration of this office I have ever taken the stand that of all
departments the school department is the one that should not
be a law breaker, hence, I have steadfastly refused to be a
party to any infraction of the law. The best way to repeal a
poor law is to enforce it.
However, candor compels me to say that the law has not
been steadfastly complied with in all respects, but as I said
before, this department has never been a party to such, non-
compliance and I believe the tendency is toward a stricter
enforcement of the law.
THE STATE COURSE OF STUDY.
In accordance with a resolution of the last Legislative As-
sembly the State Course of Study has been thoroughly revised
Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction, 193
and at the same time as much of the subject matter as possi-
ble has been eliminated. I presume there is no course of
study printed that goes farther in the way of pruning the
subjects of obsolete matter than does the Oregon State Course
of Study, and I am of the opinion that when public opinion
is a little more educated along this line, it will be not only
feasible, but desirable, to eliminate still more. The sociologi-
cal conditions of the times will soon demand a modified course
of study. Modified in such a way that there will be a distinc-
tion made between subject matter designed for city or village
and rural schools. This means in many instances two courses
of study, one for the country and another for the city. In the
course of study for the rural schools will appear elementally
agriculture, and in the one designed for city schools mcnual
training.
MINIMUM TERM OF SCHOOL.
There are far too many school districts perfectly satisfied
with the minimum number of months' school, hence, many
children are deprived of their just share of education. There
is no reason why a child in a small isolated district is not en-
titled to as many months of school as is the child in a more
favorably situated district. Mere location should not be the
test of the number of months schooling to which a child is
entitled. When our school affairs are placed on a correct
basis, every child will have an opportunity to receive the same
number of months' schooling as any other child and the fact
that one lives in the country and the other in the city should
not work to the detriment of the one whose lot is cast in the
country. From this viewpoint, I believe I have a right to
plead with you for an increase in the minimum number of
months of school required in each school district from three
to five.
SCHOOL REVENUES.
There has been quite an increase in school revenues during
the past two years, owing to the Pierce-Eddy law, which made
it mandatory on county courts to levy a tax for school pur-
poses which shall aggregate an amount which shall be at least
six dollars per capita for each and all of the children within
Supt. Pub Ins. 13
194 Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction.
the county between the ages of four and twenty years in-
stead of a millage of five mills. The principle of levying a
per capita tax instead of a millage is much more satisfactory
:in that the school fund is not at the mercy of the assessor,
•hence, the funds in the several counties are more equitable
and constant. The one defect of the law is that six dollars
is not sufficient to allow school boards to pay adequate sal-
aries; hence, I would strongly recommend that the minimum
amount be made eight dollars instead of six. I am strongly
of the opinion, however, that it would be just and right to
^require the tax on inheritance to be placed in the irreducible
.^school fund, because it is a tax that should be used for future
: generations, I also firmly believe that a part or the whole
utf the tax on corporations should be placed in the school fund
and be expended each year for school purposes. In other
words, if the schools shall be made as efficient as be desired
they must be placed on a better financial basis and that must
x^ome through a system of indirect taxation.
V CERTIFICATION.
Our system of certification is giving general satisfaction;
lience, no change is suggested except in the requirements for
first grade certificates. There is a well defined movement in
the direction of requiring teachers to have at least two years
of academic work beyond the grades they are expected to
teach before being allowed to teach such grades. That is to
say, no person shall be allowed to teach in an elementary
school who has not had at least two years of high school
T^ork, nor in the high school without at least two years of
college work. In line with this thought, many are of the
opinion that the requirements for the first grade certificate
should be increased by the addition of the following subjects :
English literature, physical geography, and this department is
inclined to believe that it would be wise to make such changes.
For statistics concerning county certificates, see pages 34
^nd 35 of this report. Following is a detailed statement cov-
-ering the number and grade of State papers issued, during
the past two years, also a statement of the receipts and ex-
penditures during the same time.

204 Report of Superintendent of Public Instruction.
VISITATIONS, CONFERENCES AND ADDRESSES.
I have visited the leading schools of the State and also the
State institutions. During these visits I have endeavored to
grasp the true educational value of the work attempted and
accomplished. While making the visits I have had every
courtesy extended to me, and all connected with the school
have ever shown a co-operative spirit that is very commend-
able.
Whenever possible, I have responded to calls for addresses,
and conferences, which have been quite numerous. By thus
getting out among the people I am able to study the educa-
tional conditions and needs as could be done in no other way.
I would be very loath indeed to turn this part of my work
over to a deputy. During the past two years I have been
invited to address State meetings in the State of Washington
and California, which invitations have been gladly accepted
for the double purpose of enabling me to study school condi-
tions in neighboring States and also to be of some assistance
in unifying the educational interests of the Pacific Coast. .
THE STATE PRESS.
I can not close this report without expressing my apprecia-
tion of the splendid manner in which the press of the State
has responded to all educational calls made upon it. It has
been courteous, kind, and obliging and has, without an excep-
tion, stood for higher ideals in school affairs. On behalf of
the school interests of the State I take pleasure in tendering
to it this testimonial.
ATTORNEY GENERAL.
I can not refrain from speaking of the helpfulness of
Attorney General Crawford. His formal written opinions do
not begin to cover the many helpful suggestions that he has
given me from time to time. No matter whether the question
was one that should have reached his office through a certain
course of procedure or not, I have ever found him willing to
treat it as fully as though it were an appeal case that had
passed through the regular channels. His attitude in such
