Schools May Run Short In Salem Districts
Salem Or December 6 The state legislature appropriations for the three state schools for the blind deaf-mute and reform in the Balemand vicinity are far smaller than the prior two years raising doubt about keeping the blind and deaf mute schools open for the full two years The reform school must stay open by law even if 1899 and 1900 funds are exhausted The board of education favors closing the blind and deaf mute schools earlier next year if keeping them open creates a deficiency Full accuracy awaits year end totals.
