THE MORNING OltEGONIAN, TUESDAY, JUNE 14, 1921 OK SERVICE IS ONLY DESIRE Economies to Be Practiced Wher ever Possible, But "ot at Ex pense of Schools, He Says. Judge E.'V. Littlefield, drafted oy the committee of citizens to become a candidate for school director at Sat urday's election, could not well re fuse because he has had extensive ex perience in school work and it ap. pearea ne was singularly mied lor toe position. At that he was reluct . ant to agree to run. but finally con sented. Judge Llttlefield has been a suc cessful educator himself and would, unquestionably, see all sides of mat ters coming before the board. He was a teacher in Yamhill county for years, his abilities in that line securing his promotion to principal of a Yamhill county school and later he was elected county school superintendent for two terms. He also served as president of the State Teachers' association during one term when he was county superintendent. Cbance for Service Seen. Judge Littlefleld has definite IdeaaJ on tne dunes of directors and sees In the position opportunities for service to the community. "I am not pledged to anyone nor to any interest." he said, "and the only reason I have allowed my name to be used as a candidate for director is the hope that I may be able to render service which I owe to the people of tilts community. My theory is that the public schools of Portland have a very high standard of excellence and that stand ard should by all means be main tained. Oregon ranks as one of the first states in the union in educa tional affairs and Portland schools have had a splendid effect, through the force of example, on all schools of the state. "These schools require the expendi ture of much money in order to main tain the high standards we now have and. although we wilt still be under frreat burdens of expense, there can . be no drawing back in actual outlay needed for real school work. But there should be economy along all possible lines to give some relief to the taxpayers, if possible. What economies can be realized is prob lematical because of the growing pop Illation of the district and the man new pupils for whom it will be neces sary to provide housing and other facilities. School Costa Are Large. "This district expend more mone for the maintenance of schools than the average county spends for all pur poses to maintain its governmen The board of directors, consistin usually of business men, do not have time to give as much attention to school affairs as they should, bu every director ought to do everythin to familiarize himself with problem of a district as large and important as the one in this city.' "The duty of a school director 1 necessarily an onerous one and the only compensation one can get in acting on the board is the conscious ness of good service he can render while holding that office." Judge Littlefield has had extensive legal training since he graduated into the practice of that profession arte completing his service as teacher, principal and county school superin tendent. At practically every meeting of the school board legal matters come up for decision and directors frequently lament the fact .at their meetings that there is no lawyer a present holding membership in the directorate. Legal questions at pres . ent are referred invariably to District Attorney Evans' office and legal fee for this service are proposed. School Work la Done. Judge Littlefield is a native of Yamhill county, having been born in 1873. He was educated in the public schools of Yamhill county and was graduated from the Lafayette Bern lnary. an Evangelical church school, In 1891. Then followed several years as a teacher and school official. Meanwhile he fitted bimsalf for the practice of law and was admitted the Oregon bar', in .1900. Since that time he has engaged actively and with high success in legal activities. He removed to Eastern Oregon, where he was appointed circuit Judge by Governor Chamberlain, although he was not of the same political faith as the governor, when the 11th circuit was formed, which included Sherman, Gilliam and Wheeler counties. He served out his appointive term and was re-elected, resigning, however, after serving eight months of his second term to come to Portland for the practice of his profession. Judge Littlefield served Multnomah county as a member of the legislative delegation of 1915 and two years later he was appointed circuit judge by Governor Withycombe to fill ths vacancy caused by the resignation the war. Judge Littlefield felt it to be his duty and resigned promptly when Judge Gantenbein returned from service. Judge Littlefield then joined the legal firm of Joseph, Haney & Littlefield, a professional relation, he lias since maintained. Shrine Honors Attained. Judge Littlefield has won high hon ors in the Masonic fraternity, being both a 32d degree Mason, a Shrlner and a leader in the Scottish Rite. He married in 1896 and has one son, who was educated In the Chapman school and the Lincoln high school, graduat ing in the latter institution in 1918 and who now is a student at the Uni versity of Oregon. Because of his personal experience in matters educational, both as a teacher and an executive official, and by reason of his seasoned judg ment in matters of administration, together with acknowledged legal training, his friends are urging strongly that Judge Littlefield will make a much-to-be-tdesired addition to the school board and bespeak for Mm general support at next Satur day's election.
