COST OF SURVEY
EXCEEDS ESTIMATE

Judge Stanton and Commissioners
Hawkes. and Hannum held confer
ence with the state highway engineer,
II. l.. Bowlby, in Portland last Friday
with view of coming to more defin.
ite understanding regarding the CO.
lumbia river highway survey now un-
der way in Hood River county. Bills
had been presented against the county
aggregating over $500 which webe not
in conformity with the original esti-
mate of the cost of the survey as un-
derstood by the county board.
From Engineer Bowlby's estimates
Of amount of work now finished and
cost of work still to be done il appears
that the total cost will amount to about
$500. of which about Sll00 Is for the
instruments and equipment purchased
for the work. This latter item will be
refunded to the county Immediately
when the state appropriation for the
use OF the State Highway Commission
becomes available next April. MIR.
Benson. who paid for the road work at
Shell Rock, has agreed to donate $500
toward the general survey through the
county. As result the cost to the
county will be approximately $500 and
Engineer Bowlby assured the court
that the county would be reimbursed by
the state provided the construction of
the road was begun. by paying for la
bor performed thereon.
Engineer Lancaster, who was pres
ent at the conference, stated that
$4,000 automobiles passed over the
Mount Rainier highway this season.
road that will not compare with the
Columbia river road from a scenic
standpoint. He further asserted that
il the road was opened for use of tour
lists in 1915 it would return its cost
from that years business alone.
CA. Bell. A. |. Mason, N. C. Evans,
w. l.. Clark and E. o. Blanchar were
also present at the conference and ex-
pressed themselves as favorable to the
completion of the survey through Hood
River county as soon as possible.

Dee, Ore., Dec. l6, 1918.
Editor: Replying to an article in
the Glacier of Dec. II. entitled. who
Should Pay for Outside Pupils?'.
The announcement made through the
columns of The 0regonan by A. P.
Armstrong, superintendent of Muitno-
nah county schools, referred to there
IN. was no doubt called forth by the
proposed exclusion from Portland high
schools of nonresident pupils.
High schools should be county nsti-
tutions. Does il seem reasonable to
legislate against children living on the
farms outside of the town district, thus
depriving them of high school privi-
leges, If the various school officials
ehould not be generously inclined?
Suppose they were not, the greater
percentage of children living In the
country would be deprived of an educa-
tion above the grammar school on ac-
count OF lack of means to pay their ex-
penses at private institution, which
would be the only alternative. Chill
dren living in the country are just as
ambitious for an education as those in
the cities, and as q rule, parents have
no desire to shoulder the expense of
educating their children onto anyone
else. and would gladly pay the extra
tax necessary to make the high schools
county institutions.
Education is the salvation of the
world. The laws governing the schools
should not be optional, thus lei wing the
matter of equal educational privileges
to the decision of few. have la
bored in the ranks of the pedagogy in
two states of this Union, and have re-
sided in six. In my experience | have
found school officials very just, but the
stand that the Portland school officials
are proposing to take in regard to the
high schools would seem to Indicate
the necessity for a revision of the
laws.
"The world advarces and in time out
grows
The laws that in our fathers day
were best.
