PART-TIME SCHOOLS

PROVIDED BY LAW
Plans are now being formulated
by State Superintendent Churchill
to put into effect thruout Oregon
the law passed at the last session OF
the state legislature requiring per-
sons between the ages Of l6 and 1S
years who are employed and have
not received an eighth-grade educa'
tlon to attend what will be known
as part-time schools.
Superintendent Churchill says this
department OF education was DIS
cussed quite thoroly at the recent
meeting of the National Education
association held at Milwaukee and
It was the general consensus OF opin-
ion among educators that It will be
success.
Probably the most important fac-
tor entering into the successful ope
ration of the part-time schools, ac-
cordlng to Mr. Churchill, will be the
selection of teachers. Because of the
fact that persons affected by the
law will not have to attend school
more than an hour each day, 1t Will
be necessary TO obtain instructors
who are able to get into close touch
with their pupils and decide what
studies are best adapted to theil
training.
Mr.. Churchill says Americanisn
will be one of the chief fundament
ais upon which the school will b'
conducted and a determined effor
will be made to give persons Will
limited education such training a
will fit them for better positions.
The law, which had the specia
support of labor, provides that in al
districts where there are 10 persons
eligible for this training the schoo
boards must furnish the prope
equipment and employ teachers Il
carry on the work. The act provides
also that pupils attending this schoo
will do so on their employers time
1t is Mr.. Churchill's opinion tina
practically every first-class distric
| in Oregon will be affected by th'
law. AS soon as convenient the stat
superintendent will urge upon count.
