OPEN FORUM

Concerning Tuition


Editor Capital Journal: Just word
about increasing the tuition for stu.
dents from the country districts at
tending the Salem high school.
The school board should make haste
slowly in so critical an undertaking
as to demand of our country boys and
girls more tuition than that fixed by
the clear intent of the law.
In the end the reaction will surely re-
suit in not only loss to our school fund
but also in intensifying the antagon-
istoie feeling against the business in
terests in our town on the part OF many
of the rural residents.
Should the present demand of $72,57
per country pupil for one years tut.
tion in the high school be insisted on,
this attitude will result in many of our
farmers moving into Salem with their
families resulting in the entire loss of
tuition. In other words it will greatly
encourage the present movement of the
country people into the city, thereby
increasing tenant farming in Marion
county with consequent depreciation
of our agricultural output.
If Salem support is largely depend
ent on the surrounding farming dis
triets, any movement that win work in
Jury to the agricultural interests sur
rounding the city will surely react on
the social and business interests in our
city.
This attempt to build wall around
Salem IS schools and shutting the gates
against ambitious country boys and girls
unless they pay an exorbitant tuition
fee is certain to divert much of the
trade which rightfully belongs to Sa-
lem merchants, into other channels.
The country stores and mail order
houses will profit by this move.
The capital city of Oregon cannot aY.
ford to be pernieious in her attempt to
hold up the ambitious country pupil.
The quality of her citizens will be mis-.
interpreted by others.
Already we find the following com.
ment in the Oregon Daily Journal of
September of Portland:
"Salem is said to be the only city in
the state that is objecting to Church.
MS way of figuring the high school
tuition charge"
Can we afford to be penny wise and
pound foolishs

Coroner Points Out
Pedestrians Perils
in Reynolds Finding

That all towns should have safe
path for pedestrians beside busy high
ways is the recommendation of Cor
oner John J. Phelan today in his find
ing on the death of Fred Reynolds OF
Greenwich. The coroner declares
towns have spent large sums to put
roads in first class condition for mo-
florists, but nothing has been done for
the safety Of pedestrians who are more
numerous by far.
Reynolds was wo1king on the Boston
Post road in East Port Chester, Nov.
II, when he was struck and fatally in
jured by an automobile driven by Roy
w. Howard of Larchmont, N. Y. The
coroner found that Howard in trying
to avoid another car ran into Reynolds.
There was no evidence to show that
Reynolds had heard the horn. Howard
was driving with reasonable care, how
ever, and the coroner found Reynolds
death was accidental.
