Two Things Criticised.

In conclusion, Mr.. Patterson said: 1.-Two
things have been criticised in the school
system, the lack of sufficient Fairgrounds
and the examination of children who are
candidates for special schools by a physi-
clan who is not a psychologist, instead
of by psychologist who is also a phy
sician. Since we have no psychologist.
the tests to be conducted by special
teachers and the laboratory to be equip
ped at the Curtis School must supply the
need"

SCHOOL TAX, $40 PER CAPITA
ATTORNEY Wilson Handles Question Be-
fore County Board Convention.

The county court has raised the
school levy from 81 to $40 per capita,
The action of the court was in liue
with the prevailing sentiment that
existed at the Third annual session OF
the County School Board convention,
held at Pendleton Saturday.
S. +. Wilson and @. A. Barrett,
directors and Ohas Belts. clerk of this
district were in attendance aud Mr..
Belts was chosen secretary of the
meeting. The convention was called
to order by County Superintendent
Welles. r. f. Robinson, superip
tendent of Multnomah county schools
gave an interesting address.
He was followed by Mr.. Wilson who
chose for his subject, "Ways and
Means of Taxation He brought out
the fact that it should be the duty of
every citizen of the county to urge
upon the county court larger ASSESS
ment of taxes for county school pur-
posesand submitted facts and figures
showing that by SO doing a more
equal adjustment of the tax problem
might be tad and that much property
which now escapes such taxation
would be brought under such tax.
This point was the most important
subject brought before the conven-
tion and action on the matter was
taken in the following resolution
which was offered and carried by a
unanimous vote.
Whereas the county court has tax
en- the initiative movement in increas-
ing the per capita in the county
school levy fund from seven to ten
dollars. and whereas it is the sense of
this body that this method is more
just and equitable to the taxpayers
as whole. therefore, be it
Resolved, that we heartily endorse
this action on the part of the county
court and earnestly recommend that
this policy be continued in the future
and in no event be less than SO per
capita. 4"
