HOST TO
SCOUT TROOPS

This evening the Salem Boy
scouts will be the guests OF the
Bligh theatre. The boys will meet
at Z o'clock at the scout head
quarters and go to the theatre in
q body. In addition to the regular
program Col. e. Hofer, president
OF the Oregon Humane Society.
will make a brief talk on the
work Of the society and how the
Boy Scouts are cooperating. H. F.
Zinser, head Of the scouts here,
will also speak for few minutes
on scouting.
The talk by Col. Horer tonight
is the first official recognition
OF that scouts as an aid to the
humane society. The object here
after is to work for closer CO.
operation between the two organ
izations. An instance Of humane
act performed by scout occurred
last Saturday when a crane was
found on the river bank which
had a broken leg and wing. The
bird had been shot by some
hunter. Most people would have
left the bird lying there to starve
but this scout did a humane act

Several scouts are now studying
for merit badges in First Aid to
Animals. To pass the examination
the boys must have knowledge
of animals, be able to treat horse
suffering with collie, know the
symptoms and treatment for
sprains, bruises, fractures, broken
bones, choking and collar
bruises. They must also know
what to do when a horse falls In
the street when hitched to load
In fact they must have q fund Of
knowledge that will apply to any
case. Kindness to animals is one
OF the scout principles.

SALEM WILL GET
$4,000 SHARE
OF SCHOOL FUND

Marion county will pay to the
Salem high school district. about
$4,000 rext year in the way Of
tuitions for pupils living in Mar
ion county who are attending the
Salem high school.
There are now 2sS students at
tending the Salem high school
who live in the county in districts
that do not maintain high
school. According to the school
law. such pupils may attend any
high school in the state, and the
county from which they come,
pays the tuition. In the Salem
schools the tuition of recent years
has been about $4,000 for each
student, this amount being the
estimated actual cost of providing
education for one year Of stu
dent at the Salem high school.
Pupils in Marion county, who
live in districts with no high
school, are more and more, taking
advantage OF the education Of
fered by the Salem high school,
In 1920, the county paid the
Salem school district $4,000 as
tuition attending the high school
and who lived in Marion county.
In 1921, the amount had grown to
$4,000 and in 1922, the amount
was 1000. And now for the
school year closing next June, the
estimated amount is $4,000.
Marh L. Fulkerson, county
school superintendent, attributes
this increased attendance at high
schools to the fact that the state
compulsory educational law, keeps
children in schools until they
have completed the eighth grade.
Young folks are about IA or 15
years of age when the eighth
grade is completed, and parents
have found 1t advisable to have
their children continue their
education.
