PROBLEMS OF COLLEGE
STATEMENT OF CONDITIONS is
SUED TO SCHOOL VOTERS.
Acting President Winter Explains
Wherein Cooperation is Needed
to Establish Institution.

The following statement to the vot-
ers of this district has been issued by
Professor A. A. Winter, acting presi-
dent of Dallas College, by order of the
Executive Committee:
THE editor of the Observer is right
when he says that the trustees of the
two schools, Dallas College and La
Creole Academy, desire to take the
people of Dallas into their copfidence
to the fullest extent in the proposed
plans for the enlargement so that
each voter may be able to cast his
ballot intelligently at the school dis
trict election to be held on May 22.'
this question. We solicit personal in
terviews from any voter who may
have honest doubts or misgivings con-
cerning any step in the proposed
transfer of property, control of pro-
ceeds of sale and the future plans
lege and LaCreole Academy.
"The Academy trustees in the last
issue of the Itemizer and of the OBJ
server have submitted such an honest,
concise and comprehensive statement
of their attitude toward this question
under consideration, that he who
runs may read The college author
tiles desire to present just as frankly
their position in relation to some of
the problems that must be solved if
this institution is to be Dermanently
established in Dallas.
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1911-05-09
Maintenance Provided.

I'VE have not in the past nor are
we now asking the citizens of Dallas
for their cooperation and help to
maintain the school. We have made
other provisions for this, but we are
asking your help to establish the in
stitution. Through the membership
of the church in oregon we have in
creased our Endowment Fund to $25-
900, making an average of over $14
per member. To this we have added
an annuity of $3,50O during the same
canvass The General Conference, at
it's session in Canton, Ohio, last Octo-
ber opened the doors of the church in
the East for the canvass for at least
$25, 900 more. This however, is alb
solutely conditioned upon the success
full consummation of our local plans
for enlargement. But this secured will
mean for the school a productive en-
dowment of over $4,000 and an an
nual income of at least $4,000. The
Eastern Conferences are appropriat-
ing now to the college $1,000 annually
for incidentals. making in all a total
of $4,000 annually contributed for the
support of the school by the church.
This with the buttons and other re-
sources provide for the maintenance
of the school. Yet this we hope is
just the beginning of this fund and
that 1t shall be increased from time
to time until the institution has at
least $780, 900 endowment
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1911-05-09
Cooperation Needed.

I'VE feel no hesitancy in appealing
to the citizens of Dallas for your most
hearty cooperation and help. The
proposed Improvements for the COM
ing year will amount to. at least s50.-
600, practically every dollar of which
will remain in Dallas. This. from
any view point you desire to look at IL
will mean much for Dallas. as well
as to establish for the community an
institution Of higher learning.
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1911-05-09
Buildings Inadequate.

The grounds on which the Acad-
emy buildings stands are too limited
to provide for the future develop
ment of the college, and the present
building is inadequate. There are no
grounds available to enlarge where
we are. Hence the only thing that
will relieve the critical situation and
hampered conditions is a new loca-
tion. Grounds sufficiently large to
enable us to add new buildings as
they are needed will be an absolute
necessity for the success of our work
in the days to come.
Then again we are not in a posi-
ton to make the contemplated change
without the cooperation of the Acad-
emy trustees, which cooperation
would involve the sale and transfer
of their property. The interest real
lied from the proceeds of the sale
held by the Academy trustees as an
endowment, would flow into the
treasury of the college for the perpet-
uation of the academic course of
study. Thus the two schools would
continue to be conducted together as
they have been during the past ten
years.
"There is no desire on the part of
the college to abandon the academic
course. Dhis course serves as the
preparatory department of the col
lege and fits into our plans nicely in
conducting the educational work of
the institution. Upon the satisfactory
completion of this course, students
will be granted diplomas as hereto
fore. The readers of the Dallas pa
pers are fully aware of the fact that
the academy trustees have given their
hearty endorsement and voluntary CO.
operation to make possible the above
changes
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1911-05-09
Benefits to Dallas.

The college. in its present limited
and hampered condition, has meant
more to Dallas than many Of us have
thought or stopped TO consider. There
are at least 20 families residing In
Dallas just because the school is here.
besides the students from out Of town.
A very conservative estimate Of the
annual living expenses Of these fam
ilies and students would amount to al
least s2O.000- These same parties

and thousands of, farmers hold
ing their cotton, It certainly has
made it hard on the merchants

other line of industry. When
money stops circulating, it makes
the whole country feel the effects
of it.
We cannot blame the farmer
for not wanting to take the price
offered for his product. On the
other hand, with the enormous
crop made this year, 1t looks like
he will have to hold 1t long time
to get better price and while he
is doing this, naturally a great
