The Board Of Public Education has
been considering a survey for year
or two, but it has done nothing. The
committee appointed to arrange for it
has talked about the matter, but there
was a strong feeling among the con-
servative members of the board that
survey was useless. They said more
than once that there was nothing about
the schools which they did not know
and that a survey would involve a
useless expenditure of money.
Those who knew better, however,
have persisted. The schools were not
doing what they should do, and they
were determined that something should
be done to disclose to the public both
the merits and the shortcomings Of the
school system and to call attention to
the evils that needed to be corrected.
As a result, private citizens have
agreed to finance the survey, and a
committee OF six members of the school
board and six citizens interested in ed
ucation has been appointed to make it.
The project has the Endorsement of
Doctor Finigan, state superintendent
of public instruction, and he has offered
to conduct the survey himself and pay
The first task that confronts the COM
mittee is to decide whether to select an
expert of its own to direct the work
and to secure answers to the questions
to be put to him, or to accept the offer
of Doctor Finigan.
The expert, whoever he may be,
will be asked to study five spe-
<cific problems. The first will be the
educational needs of the city based
upon its population, its varied indus
tries and its commercial needs and its
social life. Under this head will come
suggestions as to the best way to sup
ply these needs by an adjustment of
the schools of all grades to meet the
demands upon them and by the estab-
lishment of technical schools or of more
| technical courses in the schools already
| in existence. Then will come a study
of the physical equipment Of the schools
| and an examination into the care OF
that equipment. These two problems
| are connected with financial and bust
| ness administration rather than with
! the technical side of teaching.
The fourth problem will be an inquiry
into the professional organization and
administration of the schools; that is
with the system of teaching and super
inteudcncc. And the fifth will be ar
inquiry into the things which tht
schools are consciously trying to dc
and the success which attends theiI
efforts.
When the report is made the public
will know just where the defects ir
the schools are and what can be done
to remove them. Then it will be VI
10 the taxpayers to decide whether tc
n .ow the present conditions to continue
or to pay the money needed to give th'
city school system fitted to the de-
mands Of community Of 1000, ,O0C
people with a varied industry and {
population made up of score of diff
ferent races.

This option would permit most boys in

before entering on this year training
il would also permit those going to
college to precede their college work
with this year of training.

regular weekly luncheon of business
men at the Commercial club. Follow
ing the luncheon the business men
went TO the plants and mill OF the

counted briefly by Mr. Myers. He sail
that when the present owners bought

posing Of II all in local and outside
trade The mill operated durinf 1919
actually 27S days, employing 200 men,
and causing the expenditure of $227,-

Operations were hampered time
this spring, he said, by the inability OF
getting logs from the four camps the
company operate. This was caused, he
explained. by low water that would not
permit drive to the mill.
The capacity Of the box factory will
be increased 100 per cent this year,
according to the tentative plans OF the
company, Mr.. Myers said From TO-

ers said. He said that the plant now
covers about ~ acres of land, and
that 20 acres are needed to develop the
