OREGON School sYstem.

The state department of public in
struction has general supervision
over the public schools of Oregon.
The functions of the department may
be classified as Cd statistical, CD
advisory and judicial. and (3) super
visory. The first two duties are
carried on by the Office force under
the direction of the state superin-
tendent.
The records of the office show
that in carrying out this work for
the year 1909, the department an
swered something over ten thousand
letters sent out about Ave thousand
pieces of printed matter, not includ-
ing copies of the school code, and
about five hundred packages of ex-
press. The question for teachers
examinations and for the uniform
eighth grade examination, as well
as all blanks used by teachers and
school officers were formulated, pub
lished and distributed. In addition
to this in 1909, the school code was
annotated and compiled and ten
thousand copies were published and
distributed to school officers, librar-
les and state superlntendents.
The supervisory work is carried
on personally by the state superin-
tendent through conferences with
school officers, and lectures before
teachers Institutes, school board
conventions, and popular educational
meetings. Two or three definite
things have been taken up each
year and after thorough discussion
by these professional bodies and by
the Grange, the best of the measures
urged each year have been crystal
lized into laws.
Thus there has developed the COM
pulsory educational law, the law
providing for uniform eighth grade
examinations, a state course of stu
dy, library commission insuring to
every district school a good library,
good high school law, and finally
law compelling every district to
hold at least six months of school
each year. The results of these laws
have been such as to attract atten-
ton to Oregon's public school sys-
tenn from all parts of the United
States. One writer says Oregon has
the best school code of any state in
the Union; another says that no
other state has made such progress
in its educational work. The fact
that during the past two years,

state superintendent Ackerman has
been invited TO speak on our public
school work before state associations
at Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seat
tie, and Salt Lake City, and also at
the convention of state superintend-
ents. Is further evidence of the ia
Vorable notice Oregon's school sys-
tenn is receiving.
The various reports of the Super
intendents Of Public instruction
show increases during the past ten
years for the public schools OF the
state, enrolment, an increase OF
1924; average daily attendance.
an increase OF 1880; average
monthly salary paid male teachers
in Increase of S26.29. Al that
time no statistics were kept of the
high schools, of which there were
not more than ten During the past
year there were in operation In ore.
gon one hundred and seventy-iive
high schools. and the number Is con
stantly increasing.
The campaign during the past
year has been for better sanitation,
and the organization OF union high
schools. Results are In all OF the
school buildings, teachers are in
stalling simple ventalating device.
directors are improving the school
grounds and general conditions; and
people throughout the country dis

school within reach of home. The
next measures 10 be urged by the
department OF instruction are closer

OREGON STATE CAPITAL POINTERS


Hon. Frank w. Benson is at pres
ent holding the dual position of
secretary of state and acting COVER
nor of Oregon. He was installed as
governor on March 1, 1909, at which
time Governor Chamberlin became
UAited States Senator. His term as
governor expires January IL, 1911.
He is the first man to fill a double
position since Steven s. Chadwick
was promoted in like manner, March
4, 1875, and served as governor and
secretary until September IL, IT.
Chadwick became governor upon the
election Of Governor L. f. Grover to
the United States Senate. In both
legislatures when this happened
very young man was speaker of the
House. In 1876 J. K. Weatherford
of Albany, aged twenty-three, was
made speaker, and in 1909 G. M.
Macarthur was made speaker at the
age of twenty-nine. Mr.. Macarthur
is Governor Benson's very efficient
private secretary, and a popular and
promising young politician of the
newer school that places a little con-
fidence in the general intelligence of
the people. Governor Benson has
disappointed ali HIS CIlllCSs IL ne
ever had any, by making a model
executive. He is very attentive to
his official duties, is easily ap-
preached by all classes of people and
yet very firm in his position and in
his decisions after they are once
made. In the state department
there is a strong corps of men of
long traiAing in their official duties.
F. X. Lowell is chief clerk, G. A.
Taylor is corporation clerk, H. H
Corey is chief clerk of the auditing
department, J. e. Alison is warrant
clerk, Nick Haas and q. A. Zigler
are property and utility men.
Oregon Railroad Commission.
The railroad commission is COM
posed of Thomas K. Campbell, G. II.
Aitcheson and Oswold West. George
o. Goodole is secretary, e. G. Mil
Ter, rate expert, and e. G. MINER,
stenographer. The commission han
dies two hundred and fifty to three
hundred rate cases and complaints in
the course of each year. Some of
the special achievements of the COM
mission during the past year are
quite notable. They secure a reduc-
tion in the rates of the Pacific Ex-
press Company of twenty-five per
cent, grain rates to Portland wer

reductions in this department must
be given to L. r. Stinson, the public
printer expert appointed by Cover
nor Benson, who has almost unlim-
tied power to cut-reducing the vol
ume of printing and trim anything
that has the appearance of a graft.
Clerk of Land Office.
Geo. G.. Brown is the clerk of the
state school land board and Peter
Applegate is the state land agent.
Mr.. Brown has been connected with
this Office for a great many years

amount to about 100000 a year.
This office has disposed of about 90.
600 acres of state school land during
the past quarter.
State Fish Hatchery.
We jump from state school lands
to salmon and fish hateheries. This
amphibious department transacting
a business both by land and by wa
ter is presided over by II. c. Meal
lister, Master Fish Warden. He has

His deputies are S. l.. Rathburn OF
Portland and Ed Clanton OF Grants
Pass. He has jurisdiction over six
hatcheries on the Coast streams and
1--WE on the Columbia and it's tribu-
taries. During the past year about
$4,000 in fees was collected and
the legislature appropriated $33, 900
for extending the work of prOpogat-
ing salmon. This i1cludes a little
sporty item that would make a de- /
licious morsel for Teddy Roosevelt, !
the renowned slayer OF big game .
