The ''back to the 1arm movement

NEW WATER SUPPLY
FOR M'KINLEY SCHOOL
Board Facing Building Of
More School Houses, Ar
ranges for Outside Pupils

The children. of the Mckinley school
will have the pleasure of drinking water
that has been boiled, at least during
school hours, as the school board de-
eided the present water supply contain
ed too many microbes for the general
health of the pupils. In the meantime.
arrangements will be made at once for
the digging of well and the installing
of water system. This action was
taken on the recommendations of the
building committee and DR.. o. B. Miles
school physician. The pumping plant
now at the Engewood school will be
installed at the Mckinley school.
1t was also the seHse of the directors
that a general inventory be made of
school properties in the city in order to
establish basis on which to figure the
cost of education per capita, and from
these figures estimate correctly the
amount to be charged pupils from the
rural districts attending school in the
junior highs and senior high school.
With this in view, the finance commit
tee will cooperate with committee of
three citizens who are familiar with
real estate conditions.
From figures supplied by the super
intendent, it was found that the l30 pu
pills attending school in Salem from cut
side districts were so distrib itel, that
even if these were refused admission.
it would mean the saving Of only thrce
tecchers. As it is estimated hat this
rural attendance is nkely to increase.
the proposition before the school boar
is to provide accommodations. As there
is a feeling on the board that this ia
very inopportune time to talk of build
ing another school house, it is probable
that temporary structures will be built
ON three of the school grounds to take
care of the pupils for the fall Of 1916.
The increasing attendance at the
three junior high schools and the senior
high is a serious proposition. Superin-
tendent Elliott estimated an attendance
of 40 for the three junior schools next
fall and of III for the high school He
believed that within few years, the
three junior high schools would numbe
at least 1000 pupils and the same num-
ber would be found in the senior hig
school.
There is a bill now before congress.
providing that 40 per cent of the money
derived from the sale of the California
land grant be placed in the school fund
of the state. At the same time there
is an effort being made to reduce this
amount to 10 per cent The board was
instructed to wire Scott Ferris, chair.
man of the general land commiss on.
