Strong Indorsement Is Given
for School Director.
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.
