Published in Monitor
Local history contests in th
schools of ten counties of the state
similar to the local history contes
held recently in the schools o
Douglas county, are being plannet
by the University. Definite worl
will start shortly in these counties
according to Mozelle Hair, of thi
extension division. As well as th<
ten that have already signified
their intentions to enter the con
tests, Miss Hair says therei are twe
more doubtful counties that are ex
peeted to enter.
“The University Extension Moni
tor” for September, 1924, was de
voted to a discussion of the local
history contest in the schools ol
Douglas county. Prize winning es
says on the history of the county
were published in the issue.
Miss Hair Presents Plan
-Later in the fall, under the direc
tion of Miss Hair, the extension
division sent letters to all the coun
ty superintendents in the) state
asking them if they would like to
carry on a similar contest in their
counties.
When the state teacher’s associ
ation -miot at Portland during the
Christmas holidays, Miss Hair spoke
to several of the superintendents
about the plan. When the associ
ation of county superintendents met
at Salem shortly iafter thio first
of the year she lag'ain presented the
plan to them.
As a result of this work ten coun
ties 'signified their intentions to
carry on the contest. These are
Clackamas, Linn, Malheur, Lake,
Columbia, Jackson, Curry, Washing
ton, Tillamook and Lane; while
Gilliam nnd Grant are doubtful. Jn
the ten that have signified their
intentions to carry on fho contest
work has really begun, according
to Miss Hair.
Teachers Endorse Contest
■“Several years ago,” she said,
“teachers in attendance at an edu
cational conference on the campus
passed a resolution endorsing the
movement for the collection, pre
servation, and study of Oregon his
tory to the end that community
pride might bo stimulated. The
study of history motivated by the
socialized method, and duo credit
given and appreciation shown to
those men and women of our own
state who have mado contributions
to our history; to the pioneers, to
the war veterans, nnd to deserving
public-spirited citizens of each
community ami of the state.
“Interest in Oregon history has
been slowly gathering momentum
all over the state. The local his
torv contest now starting over the
state is a fine example of one
way in which this interest may take
definite florin and brinlg| about
concrete results. Tt will stimulate
an interest in those who have gone
before 11s,” Miss Hair stated.
Much Value in Work
The University extension divi
sion is carrying on this work ns 1
part of its public service to th<
commonwealth of Oregon. Even
tnnllv the division is hoping to havi
local history contests in even
county of the state. Miss Hair savi
that the cream of the cssnvs, especl
ally the prize winning ones, will In
published in some future issue o:
the Monitor. It is hoped to even
tually make it a state wide) con
test.
“The gathering and writing o
local history stories by school chil
dren nvay also be made the basis o
much interesting and valuable worl
in English,” Miss Hair said. “Th,
experience will give the children :
new conception of the origin nn<
slgnificence of history: community
interest and pride will be increased
and community pageants may grov
out of it.”
