ORGANIZATION GTS RESULTS STATU TKACHHK'S ASSOCIATION AlEuTS IX DECKMUEK A. C. HnnsnUm to .Make Anneal al linker Institute or 100 Per cent Membership Superintendent A. C. Hampton president of the Oregon State Teach ers Association, . is busy preparing the program for the meeting of the association in Portland, Decembei 29, 30 and 31. He announces that Mr. H. B. Wilson, superintendent ol city schools at Berkeley, California has been secured as one of the prin cipal speakers. Superintendent Wil son is one of the progressive Su porintendents of the country and Mr. Hampton considers himself for tunato In being able to secure hii services. Seventeen of the nineteei departmental heads have been ap pointed and all are now working or. their programs. The State Teachers Association is the one organization which Is vit ally concerned in the welfare of al' the teachers of the state. One or tin purposes of any Association such a the State Teachers Association has Ln the fact that it creates by meanr- of expert commissions composed ol its leading school people, a body ol literature that is extremely helpful In school work. By this means curreni educational practice is Investigated and the result made available It printed form for all the teachers ol the state. This is precisely what tho Stat Association Is now doing and the results are printed four times a year in bulletin form which are dls trlbuted to all the members. Mr. Hampton believes that from the standpoint of self interest alone no teacher ln the state can affori! to not become a member of the As sociation. The duos are only one dollar per year and this entitles the member to the quarterly publicatlor which Is well worth the money, bu. In addition the ' Association, undei Mr. Hampton's administration, le concerning Itself vitally In the in terest of the Individual teacher ol the etate. It was due directly to the agency of the State Association thai the minimum salary now for teachers . was passed by tho last legislature. This law provides that no teacher in the state can now contract to teach for loss than seventy-five dol lars per month. From a study of tho teachors' salary roll in the thirty-six counties of tho state it was discovered that about 1,600 teachers were receiving less than 375 per month during the yeai 1918-1919. j While there was no minimum sal ary law on the statutes prior to the 1919 legislature, the requirement that 85 per cent of the schoo' funds must be spont for teacher'! salaries virtually established a min imum of only J50 per month. The Increase to J75 is thus nn Increase of 50 per cent In the minimum. Superintendent Hampton leaver for Bakor tomorrow and It is hli purpose to appeal to tho teachors of Union and Baker countieB to regis ter for 100 per cent membership tr ibe association. 'He feels that with the past record of achievement bj the association for the teachers, thai no teacher can afford not to become a member. Up to the present time the teachers of. Malheur, Jackson Wasco, Deschutes, Kalmath and Doiiglas counties .have registered 100 per cent in membership ln thf association, and It IB firmly be lieved that the teachers of Union and Baker counties will dp th( same at their Joint .institute ln Ba kor this week.
