It is not necessary 10 give all the facts and figures presented by MT. De-
 Bardeleben and the other speakers. The
 people of Birmingham are more deeply interested in the question of whether the proposed plan will go through than in details. There is every reason to
 believe it W i'll in the first place. the scheme is entirely feasible. Two fla vorable reports on it are now in the hands of the director general of rail-
 roads, and Commissioner Prouty, be- fore whom the hearing was held today, practically assured the delegation from Alabama that they would soon be told if the government would accept their tO if

CONFERENCE ON MONDAY

After the hearing was concluded Commissioner Prouty called MT. DeBar- deleben aside and asked that the latter return to Washington Monday morning for a conference. The report which the commissioner will make will then be lready to submit to Mr McAdoo, and it lis believed that within the next few tweeks. if not earlier, not only will an- noIncement be made of the fact that igovernment will place it's own barees on the Warrior, but that they will be placed in operation just they will be placed in operation just
 as quickly as it is possible to do SO, which would mean inside of the next 60 days.
 AS war proposition nothing, 1t ap- pears, is more important than relev- ing railroad congestion in the south, and the plans which the Alabama men presented today, when adopted, as it is believed they will be, will be a long and important step in winning the war.

tive work along war lines. The most
needed improvements in these strict
ly rural schools are those improve
ments which would require the ex-
penditure of money, and in regard to
such progress the war has inter
fered with the interests Of the
schools. Under normal conditions,
quite possibly one good school build
ing would have been erected a con-
solidatlon plan might have carried
and plans laid for building; at least
one school board would have in
stalled a heating plant; and pos
sibly two others would have drilled
wells; while at present the old and
unsatisfactory conditions prevail.
But, the idea of taking steps in ad-
vance when conditions are right has
not gone to rest. Even during the
past year five one-room schools have
appropriated total of about Sl25. 90
for library books. A few other SINH
lar items of progress could be neil
toned. An endeavor has been made
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1918-12-10

| to keep the teaching efficiency high,
and to prepare the schools for the
changed conditions following the
war"
War Activities
War activities have been given
considerable prominence during the
past year thruout all the schools,
for two ideas have been foremost
in the minds OF our teachers, name
ly, G) to do all possible to help
win the war, and (2) to fit the
younger generation for the new era
which will follow. The schools OF
Jackson county have reason to be
proud Of the records which they have
made In many of the drives and cam
paigns. 9S1s per cent of all fami-
lies in the county signed Food Ad-
ministration Pledge Cards for teach
ers and school children. In the
ninety-three organized school dis
tricts OF the county, there are eigh-
ty-eight Junior Red Cross organiza-
tions. Thrift has been emphasized
and practiced to the extent that the
most Of our students have at least
learned some of the great underly-
ing principles of thrift and most OF
the students in the county have kept
records OF the way their time and
money has gone. The school boys
and girls pledged themselves to
"earn and give" nearly a 200 per
cent quota in the United War Work
Campaign. Other war activities
have received careful attention in
addition to those already mentioned.
In the mean time schools have been
keeping pace with the so called regu-
lar school work. In many cases one
is justified in saying that those
schools have done best which have
eagerly participated in the war work
asked of them. The fact, that teach
ers assembled at institute endorsed /
a resolution to the effect that they
would recognize only those war ac-
tivities that came thru regular
school channels, and that had the
endorsement of the state and coun-
ty superintendent, has relieved teach
ers of some embarrassment and in
some cases has prevented time being
wasted on those activities which
might have a tendency to demoral- !
ize the schools.
Public Health Supervision
In addition to the usual care given
health problems by teachers, Jack
son county now has a Public Health
Nurse who devotes her entire time
to this important work in the schools
and communities where her services
are needed She is on the county
salary roll and is provided at county
expense with means of getting
around over the county. Some idea

BIENNIAL REPORT OF THE
JACKSON COUNTY SCHOOLS

While many items of interest are
not mentioned In the brief outline
given below, the few which are
given may be suggestive of the lines
along which the people, thru their
teachers, principals, supervisors
and superlntendents are working IN
the schools OF Jackson county,
Teachers
Considering the scarcity OF tram
ed teachers thruout tie nation, this
county has every reason to be salts
fled with the number of teachers al
ready employed, and we have reason
to be proud OF the excellent corps
which is made up entirely of teach
ers who have had teaching expert
ence or of those who have had some
special training for the profession
which they follow. The excellent
class OF teachers assures successful
and effective school work. The
teachers are cooperative and united
in their efforts; they have 100 per
cent membership in the State Teach
ers Association; they have proven
themselves to be patriotic and loyal
TO their profession as well as to
their country. Board members have
been responsive to new demands and
have increased wages on an average
of nearly fifteen per cent.
High Schools
There are seven standard high
schools in the county. namely, Dis

asked of them.
Parent-Teacher Circles
During the past year upwards OF
twenty-five parent-teacher circles
have assisted our schools along
various lines Of activity. They have
been especially helpful to the Jun
ior Red Cross. Their work has been
Of inestimable value and It is hoped
that the day will hasten when every
school district will have such an Or
ganiZation.
Supervisors Report
Rural School Supervisor R. E,
Morris being asked to give an idea
of the conditions in the strictly ru-
raj schools says. "The outlying
schools in Jackson county are just
about holding their own, taking
what we would ordinarily term a
strictly educational view, but even
with the added burdens OF war they
have not fallen behind. In war work
even the most remote schools have
done we'll. They have not lacked

Conside rable criticism was heard

weather conditions are thought about
to change and when so much work is
needed on the streets to prevent the
daily congestion of traffic that oc-

of the great arteries of traffic were
so obstructed with snow that teams
and trucks found it impossible to pass
each other without becoming stalled
thereby causing great economic loss and
delay.

was the fact that great many per-
sons were ordering coal who did not
really need il but were attempting to
store coal in excess of the immediate
demands. and. IN justice TO other com
munities these regulations must be

The committee appointed met immed-
lately after the adjournment of the
board Of directors and adopted the fol-
lowing rules for the guidance of all
consumers:
T. Do not order coal unless you abso--
lutely need it. No boarding of coal will
be permitted. When you present your
order TO the dealer state when your
supply will be exhausted.
?. Ali orders for coal will be Gems
ored by the mayor of the city. so as
TO avoid delivery TO any person who is
not in actual need and permits must be
obtained from the mayors office before
coal will be delivered.
2. All teamsaers and drivers deliver
ing coal are positively instructed not
to deliver coal to any person when it
is found that they have at least three
days supply on hand.
4. If the teamster or driver in max
ing the delivery learns of any violation
Of these rules he shall not deliver the
coal to the person violating. but shall
return coal TO the dealer to be delivered
elsewhere and the order OF the person
so violating shall he placed a the foot
