Frankton School Meeting

Editor Glacier: Pursuant to call of
the directors of Frankton school district,
under date OF February 4, the patrons
met on the 14th instant to consider the
matter Of disposing of the old school
house and to examine plans for a new
one. After considerable skirmlshing it
was finally decided to leave the matter
of the disposition OF the old school build.
ing in the hands OF the directors, with
authority to dispose to the best advan-
tage of the district.
The only plan for new school presen-
ted was that of the Dufur school, by
Director Woodworth. This one did not
meet with favorable reception, and
the meeting adjourned without any def
mite action being taken
There was one subject brought up,
which, while it was entirely out of order
was permitted to receive short discus
sion, and which your correspondent
considers OF as much or more Importance
than the selling OF the old building or
building a new one; this is the PROPOSE.
ton of e Locke to divide the district. Mr..
Locke AYERS that he will shortly spring
upon an unsuspecting public a
proposition to divide the district on the
Morton place, cutting off the west end
OF the district below the hill; that this
new district cut off will assume the debt
of the Columbia school building. He
claims it is an injustice to compel that
distant portion OF the district to pay
their proportion of the bonds recently
voted, when they do not send their child
ren to Frankton, but to the Columbia
school. This looks very plausible to the
uninitiated, and for this reason / wish
to present the other side of the question.
Personally the writer entertains a very
high opinion of Mr.. Locke, who is one
Of our most progressive and prosperous
fruit growers, man of sound judgment
and excellent business qualifications, but
in this instance has evidently considered
but one side of the question. To cut off
this portion of the district would be to
deprive these pupils of the advantage
of the 9th and 10th grades which will be
taught at Frankton, an injustice to the
pupils Of that part Of the district. The
extra expense OF tuition and board nee
essary to secure this instruction if given
those pupils cut off, would be thousand
fold greater than the light tax necessary
to redeem the bonds voted. This would
be rank injnstice to the pocket-books
of the patrons cut off by this conten.-
plated division. The experience of the
past has demonstrated beyond The
shadow OF a doubt, that, in matters of
education as in all other departments of
business life, the greatest strength and
best results lie in concentration, CEN
tralization of forces, not in segregation.
1t is hoped that Mr. Locke will recon-
slider his intentions in the matter and
drop the petition, and that all the pa
irons OF our district will look at the
matter from a purely business stand
point, unite our forces, conserve our
strength and get the best educational
facilities possible. A division of the
district would be a suicidal proceeding
to the interests of education in the
Frankton district, both above and below
the hill. CONCENTRATE.

There should be some restrictions as
to the age and other conditions Of child
labor. Nevertheless, the fact should
not be lost sight of that it is not labor
that blights and ruins the lives OF chill
dren, but idleness. 1t may be safely
affirmed that where one child is perma.
nently injured by overwork, thousand
90 the broad road in after life through
the evil influence OF an idle childhood
In every great city it is not only those
who might be put to work at too tender
an age for whom there should be SC
much solicitude, but rather the multi.
tudes Of boys Of from 10 to 10 years that
roam at large without let or oversight
In sheer wanton idleness. Moreover,
arbitrarily to restrict all children from
labor up to the fourteenth year would
possibly do more harm than good. In
the first place, parents themselves
should be the best judges both of their
own necessities and the capacities OF
their children. Again, there is a wide
difference between factory labor and
that in shops and other places where
many times a boy lays the foundation
for future usefulness and fortune.

Odell Notes.

The lecture at Pine Grove last Sunday
afternoon by the Rev. Sorg Sorson
upon the condition of the Beers in
South Africa was intensely interesting.
The best evidence of the interest mani
tested was the collection of $l5.25.
The residents Of the 0dell and other
districts are agitating the organization
of local telephone system, which
should be encouraged. Four months
ago signed a contract for phone, and
am still without any reasonable excuse
on behalf Of The company.
The present charming weather has
had pleasing effect upon our people.
The birds are singing, which is said TO
be forerunner Of spring.
B. T. Young and son are going to
Prineville next week for another band
of horses, which will no doubt find
ready sale.
Ed Miller of Mount Hood, the hust-
ling land locator, must have landed a
settler yesterday. Glad to see them
come. This coming season will bring
about many changes about Odell and
southwark toward Mount Hood.
The two grand sentinels, Mounts
Adams and Hood, are picturesque
these clear days, and furnish inspira-
ton not only to new comers but to the
old timers as well. Such beautiful
scenic effects must be seen to be ap-
preciated.

A bill to license music teachers is now
pending before the Illinois legislature.
Queer, isn't itP But when we come to
think of it, it would be very proper
law. The average layman gives music
but passing thought, looking upon il
with good-natured tolerance, not to say
contempt, treating it as a fit pabulunn
for women, girls and dudes, and while
in this frame of mind permits his pocket
to be picked by the first musical faker
that happens his way. This same citi-
zen would not think of employing an
unlicensed teacher to instruct his young
hopeful in language or mathematics, an
unlicensed attorney to conduct his liti.
cation, an unlicensed doctor to attend
his ailing wife, an unlicensed dentist to
extract his aching molar, or even an un.
licensed veterinarian to prescribe for his
sick horse, but when it comes to his
music teacher, whose work, influence
and mission, are at least as high and
important as those of the horse leach
"any old thing" will do.
