ASK CHANGE OF LAW
School Officers at Monmouth AdYo :
cate New Method of AppOrtioning
School Funds.

MONMOUTH, Or, March 17-At a
meeting of school directors and officers
of Polk county, held in Monmouth,
March II, the question of the appor-
tionment of school money was dis
cussed and the following resolutions
were adopted
"Your committee on resolutions
submit the following report: Whereas,
the distribution of school funds under
the present school laws is based upon
the enumeration of pupils and thus
works an injustice on the districts of
large valuation and small enumer-
alton:
''Be it resolved by the taxpayers and
school officers here assembled that the
laws should be so changed that each
district receive all the money raised
for school purposes by taxation on the
assessed valuation OF the district.
''Be it further resolved that copies
Of this resolution be sent to the state
school superintendent, to the candi-
dates for the Legislature from this
county and to the press"

Zone good term deserves another" 4"
appears to be the sentiment of the
voters of Polk county, irrespective of
party, in the choice of a County Clerk,
County Treasurer and County Sur
veyor this year. Ed. Nj. Smith, John
E. Beezley and J. P. VanOrsdel, who
are filling these respective offices, are
asking for reelection, and it is not
probable that any candidates will be
placed in the field against them 1t
seems to have become an unwritten
law in Polk county that an officer
making a creditable record during
his first term shall be given Il second
term, and it is agreed by all that Polk
county has never had more faithful,
competent and obliging officers than
Clerk Smith, Treasurer Beezley and
Surveyor VanOrsdel.

doing? At Monmouth, each normal
student is required to spend given
number of hours each day in the
training department. In this depart
ment, the students under the superin-
tendence of an experienced instructor,
teach the pupils of the Monmouth
public school in all the common
branches of learning. The student
thus gains practical teaching ex-
perience, and when he goes forth from
the normal he is familiar with actual
school-room work. II this isn't
practical training, the OBSERVER will
confess that it doesn't know the mean
ing of the term. 1t is noticeable that
Mr. Fletcher doesn't suggest any sub
stitute in his communication
He further complains that the nor
NAL schools are teaching their
students the common school studies
at the expense of the state. This
assertion is incorrect. The Monmouth
school abolished its preparatory de-
partment years ago, and has done
nothing but strictly normal work
since. This we know, from personal
knowledge, and it is only reasonable
to conclude that the Ashland school IS
pursuing like course.
In setting forth these facts, the OBJ
SERVER would not be understood as
advocating the continuation of four
normal schools in Oregon. While we
do not consider the normal school
abuse to be Oregon's greatest graft,
or even one-half as bad as it is made
out to be, yet we do not doubt that
there is room for reform without Grip
ping the efficiency of our educational
system. 1t is not our purpose at this
time to defend the Monmouth school
because it is in Polk county, or the
Ashland school because it is in
Southern Oregon, or the Weston
school because it is conveniently
located for residents Of Eastern Ore
gon, but merely to call attention to an
unjust and incorrect statement that
has been made against the normal
school system of the state The normal
question is up to the people for settle
ment Let US hope that misrepresenta-
tion and unfair methods will be
avoided in settling it.
