Coast Road
Bill Passes
AS Amended
Senate Approves Hall
Measure; Highway
Board Pins Hope On
Lower House

BY a vote of l6 to IA, Just
enough to pass it. the senate passed
Senator Halls amended Roosevelt
highway bill late Thursday after
non and sent il on it's way to the
house for further and final consid-
Grafton. Just before the vote on
that bill was taken, the road dis
tricting bill, companion measure e.
the Roosevelt highway bill. was
passed by a vote of II to 10.
Senator Robertson, who voted
for the districting bill, changed his
position when it came TO the Roose-
welt highway measure, taking the
attitude that while he was not
averse to the formation of highway
construction districts should the
voters o. any selected area wish 70
incorporate themselves together for
that purpose, yet ne was not in fav-
or of the Roosevelt highway bill in
its present terms and under present
conditions.
Makes Matters Worse.
The passage of the two mea cures
still further complicates the high
way program. While Senator Hall
told the senate during his argu-
ment in support of his measures
that two members of the highway
commission had assured him that
they were neutral" it is an open
secret that Chairman Booth of the
commission is bitterly opposed to
the enactment or the Roosevelt
highway measure at this time, con-
tending as he did at an open hear
ing before the highway committee
that it would be unwise and against
the interest Of the highway con
struction program.
1t is also known that, while it
may be fact that the other menu
bers of the commission are "neu-
trar' so far as open opposition 70
the. bill is concerned, nevertheless
they do not favor its passage in
truth and do not want to see it
written into the law.
What viii House Do?
Whether the house will pass the
Roosevelt bin is the instant puzzle
about the lobbies. 1t was the hous,
roads committee which invited
Chairman Booth to come before it
and express his sentiments in refer
ence to the bill, which presentation
was pretty directly responsible for
the defeat of the measure when I'll
first came before the senate,

ing for free school books to pupils

npeehools. I he bill was lost for lack

Consideration of this bin brought
about spirited debate. the support
of the bill being led by Represent
atiyes Hindman, korell, Sheldon,
Burdjck, Carter, Lynn, Overturf
and Speaker Bean.
The opposition was led by Rep
resentatiyes Kay, Belknap, Davey,
Fisher. Roberts and Woodson.
Hindman urged that this system
has been tried out in other states
and has proved successful. espe-
clally in Iowa, Pennsylvania. New
York and New Jersey
Speaker Bean declared the law
would bring the cost Of school
books down whore they ought to
be and would break the school
book trust in Oregon.

similar measure in this house" "
said Speaker Bean, providing that
the state printer should print the
school text books, and there never
was lobby so powerful in this

Sheldon urged that the schools
should he free in fact as well as
in name and that the expense Of
book supply should not fall on the
individual parents any more tnan
the other school expenses.
Opponents to the measure urg-
ed that many families would not
want to accept free text books,
thus placing them in the class of
Daupers: that there would be dan
ger from germs because of the mis-
cellaneous use of the books; that
tho bill itself would work to the
advantage of the book trust, as
more books would be required
through careless use by the chill
dren, and that it would cost at
least SSS5.999 to supply the new
books for next fall.

ned the proposition that what
would be more useful than free
text books in giving relief to over

would eliminate the rivalrles and
heart-burnings over the matter OF

Representative Gallagher called
attention to the large number of
children who are educated in pri-
vate and parochial schools, and
asked for an amendment to the
bill which would permit any pupil
taking a course of study provided
by the public schools, wherever
its studies might be, to purchase
the text books at actual cost. He
received no second to this amend

The closeness of the vote makes

PROF. WENDELL'S DEATH

DARRETT WENDELL, professor emeri-
D rus Of English literature in Harvard
University, who died yesterday was one Of
the most distinguished American men of let
ters as we'll as one Of the most successful
teachers OF literature.
He was one OF the fifty members of the
American Academy Of Arts and Letters,
elected by his peers. This academy has been
ridicued and belttied with slight justifca.
ton. It was organized in order that men
who have done notable things in art, music
or literature might honor the greatest Of
their number.
The National Institute of Arts and Let
ters. which contains $50 members, elects
periodically men who have achieved distinc-
ton. Joseph Hergesheimer was recently ad.
mitted 10 the National Institute because OF
the quality of his novels. Membership Of
the academy Is recruited from the member
ship Of the institute. On its rolls now ore
the names Of John Singer Sargent, Woodrow
Wilson, Brander Matthews, George Edward
Woodberry, George DeForrest Brush, Owen
Wister, Augustus Thomas, William Roscoe
Thayer, William Gillette and Elihu Root
At the time of his death William Dean How
ellis was the chancellor.
To be included In this company is an
honor Of which any American might be
proud, for II involves recognition OF merit
beyond the ordinary by men whose judgment
Is sound and worthy Of respect. This came
to Professor Wendell after years Of strenu
GUS pursuit of the higher ideals in his owr
work and years OF effort to persuade other,
to appreciation OF the best In the literature
Of the English language.

DR.. BRooME AND HIS TASK

DR. E. c. BRoOME's election to the SUI
- perintcndency Of public schools not only
ends q lamentable and unnecessary deadlock
In the Board of Education but It emphasizes
the high responsibilities of leadership. !
The new incumbent faces difficult but not
an unconqusrable situation. Among the
Affections OF the city's educational system
are too much politics and too little money
for legitimate needs. Or. Broome is not
called here to supply the latter defect. His
duties are administrative. The community
welcomes him and will support him In any
effort to reduce pestiferous interference and
political maneuvering by the board to a
minimum. Courage and competence can
solve the school problem SO far as the execu
tive side is concerned. The door Of O great
opportunity is open, and a public heartily
sick Of alternate cross purposes and inani-
tion is privileged to entertain hopes that q
change is in prospect.
The deplorable state of the materials with
which DR.. Broome is summoned to work are
largely matter for legislative action. In
his report to the Board Of Education, Acting
Superintendent Wheeler reviews the case ex =
pertly and in detail.
More money is sought, OF course. Knowl-
edge that the whole state educational sys-
TEN is insuficiently financed is not confined
TO the working officials
But DR.. Wheeler supports his claims with
sound argument in which the intricacies of
the case arc clearly recognized. The i'm
portance Of properly adjusting appropria
tions to the several items in the right rela :
tonship is properly emphasized. ITO spend
less than is necessary. declares DR.. Wheeler,
may be quite us uneconomical as to spend
more than is necessary. Good judgment con .
cerning the purposes for which money Is
spent is quite as needful as the introduction
of policy of libcrality."
The conventional theory that the present
fixed rate Of taxation Is adequate for school
needs because the revenue thus secured grows
from year to year is Offset by the fact that
''the growth OF the school system has been
most extensive where the costs are great
est"
This may readily be seen in the remarkable
development of high schools within the last
decade. Six additional high schools have
been erected since 1910. and with one eX-
cepton all are Of comprehensive type, Offer
ing wide variety of courses for study. The
changed situation stresses the obligation of
the Legislature to readjust the school tax
and to be generous with appropriations
High schools, however, are only part of
the general problem Of education reconstruc-
ton in Pennsylvania. The lack in some In =
stances Of suitable buildings. wasteful ar
rangement OF classes and ineffective distribu-
ton of teaching forces are other aspects of
the case which calls alike for open handed
ness and an intelligent conservation of re-
sources.
Fortunately. the analysis Of conditions in
Philadelphia deals practically with questions
OF administration and expenditure which arc
| Of the utmost importance to the community
