EDUCATIONAL MEETING.
Resolutions Read and adopted at its
Meeting Last Week.

From reports given of the educational
meeting at Antelope it must have been
an exceptionally interesting as well as
profitable one. The proceedings were too
lengthy to give detailed account of them,
but the resolutions, " hich were adopted
are too important to be overlooked.
They are as follows:
1st. The financial year should be
made to conform to the school year and
end about the fret Monday in July.
I'd. 1t should be made more difficult
to obtain state papers and the fees
charged for granting same should be re-
duced one half, and said reduced fees
should all go to the county institute
fund with the fees for county certificates.
Sd. With fewer state papers, second
and first grade county certificates should
be re-issued as the result of regular ex-
amination5.
4th. Teachers should be REQUIRED to
attend the county institute at least five
days, and if during school terms, be al
lowed full pay for the time.
5th. The state board of education
should be authorized to prepare a course
of study for rural schools.
9th. TheSmem bers of the state board
OF examiners should be paid for their
services, and should meet after each ex.
animation, and grade the work of all
applicants for state papers.
18th. The enumeration for the pur-
pose of drawing school money should
be changed from to 20 years, as at
present, to from to 20 years inclusive
10 conform with the ages for free school
attendance.
Sth- The term of the county superfn-
tendent should be increased from two to
four years, and only persons holding
valid fret grade county certificates Tor
hetter) and having taught school at
least eighteen months in Oregon should
be eligible to the office.
9th. Qualifications for voters at
school meetings and elections ehould
be uniform for districts having less than
600 population tthose districts having
only three directors) and should include
tax payers and parents having children
to educate.
10th. The law should clearly give to
each district the power to decide whether
or not high school studies should be
taught in addition to the common
branches.
11th. The two present normal schools
maintained at state expenses are amply
suffcient for educational needs of Ore.
gon for ten years in the future.
18th. The minimum school term for
drawing pnblic funds should be in
creased from three to four months.

sequence last evening at Carey Ballard s
oyster parlors might have been seen
Messrs. F. L. Houghton, w. L. Brad
shaw and V. Schmidt, with their referee.
F. A. Seufert, feasting on one of the
most elaborate gsuppers furnished by
their opponents. Messrs. P. Stadleman,
