TRYING TO
SECURE 40 PER CENT
OF LAND GRANT FUND
Parents and Teachers Of State
Unite In Effort to In
crease Fund

A united effort is being made by the
schools Of the state to secure 40 per
cent of the funds derived from the sale
of the o. & c. lands for the common
school fund and numerous letters are
pouring into the office of Superintend-
ent ]. A. Churchill from parents and
teachers of the state offering to CO.
operate with him in his efforts to in
crease the school fund.
When it first appeared in the press
dispatches that the clause in regard to
the school fund was in danger of amend
ment, Superintendent Churchill sent
letters to all districts of the first class
and to all the county supcrintcndents.
calling their attention to the fact. Com
mercial clubs, Parent-Teachers associa.
tions, school boards, and in fact. all
forms of civic bodies at once sent tele-
grams to their representatives in
Washington urging that the irrcducible
school fund should receive not less than
40 per cent of the land grant money.
The response was so strong that Su.
perintendent Churchill was encouraged
and continued the work. He took the
matter up with the smaller districts of
the state. Letters coming to Supcrin.
tendent Churchill's desk show that the
most prominent and influential people
in all parts Of the state are co.operat.
ing IN trying to protect the schools. He
has received copies of large number
of kilograms which have been sent to
Washington. Some are signed by civic
bodies, others are signed by from cigh
to IL different prominent citizens.
Many of those who have recently come
to Oregon are sending kilograms to
their representatives of their original
home states. Mr.. H. r. Marsh, of Clan.
dale, who is a brother alumnus Univer-
sity of Illinois, Representative ]. r.
Mann, has sent long telegram to Mr.
Mann explaining to him what the land
grant bill means to the school system of
Oregon.
Prom letters which / am receiv.
lng," said Superintendent Churchill
1t is clear that the people of Oregon
are anxious to see the irreducible school
fund of this state receive large share
OF the fund derived from the o., & G.
land grant. The reason is very evident
if one win examine the sources of the
school funds of this state. More than
90 per cent Of the funds spent for the
maintenance of our schools is derived
from the local district tax. Nowhere in
the state do the people hesitate to
taxes upon themselves for school pur.
purposes, but they all feel that if this
state had an adequate irreducible school
fund It would materially reduce the
taxes in all parts of the state and would
affect every citizen in Oregon. No 9th.
er plan proposed for the Distribute,
Of this money would come so near af.
feeting every man, woman and child in
Oregon as that Of using the funds tt
build mp a state school fund which
would take care Of the maintenance of
our schools"

SALEM INTERESTED
N SOCIAL HYGIENE
Audience Of 800 at AlmOry,
and 700 at Congregational
Church Yesterday

An attendance of more than 500 at
the armory, where the services were
held especially for men, and 700 at the
Congregational church, where the meet
ing was held for women, attested thu
interest of Salem in the work of tn
Oregon Social Hygiene society. Both
of the meetings were held Sunday aft
ernOon and addresses were made by
those who have made special study Of
the work of the society.
Governor Withycombe presided at tho
meeting held at the armOry and in a
short talk expressed HRS interest in bet
ter citizenship and also his endorse
ment of the work Of the Oregon So
cial Hygiene society.
A medical paper of interest to men
was read by DR.. /. F. Griffith, staff
| physician at the state hospital, in which
the Doctors views were presented on
subjects that were once very little dis
cussed in public, but that are now
brought before thinking men in general
public meetings.
DR.. Calvin S. White, of Portland,
spoke especially in reference to quack
doctors and fake medicines. He re-
ferred to the benefits of the laws
passed in Oregon in which the duack
doctor is not allowed to advertise. and
had practical demonstration of the
law in showing an eastern sporting pa
per, in which it was filled with fake
advertising of quacks for its Montana
and Washington editvn, and the same
papers with all the fake ads eliminated
for the Oregon edition.
j. E. Snyder, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church of Pendleton. and
a member of the Social Hygiene society,
spoke mostly on what the society was
doing and what it hoped to accomplish.
As to the individuals share in this great
work, she emphasized the fact that
fathers must do their part and the
mothers must do their part and the
mother as well, in instrueting their chill
dren as to the facts of life and that
each child was entitled to the privilege
of having two parents, each interested
in its welfare.
The meeting for the women com
pletely filled the auditorium and bal
cony of the First Congregations
church. Mrs. F. A. Elliott, president of
the Salem Women's club, presided. The
address Of the afternoon was delivered
by Dr. Bertha Stewart, of Reed col
lege. Among other practical sugges-
tions, she stated that mothers should
become the companion of their daugh-
ters and should not leave too much to
school teachers.
The state Organization is planning for
work to be done in the cities and towns
