OREGON'S TEACHERS
WILL GATHER HERE
i Annual Session Scheduled for
December 29-31.
See Special Housewares Advertisement Back Page This Section
PROGRAMME IS LARGE
New "Classroom Department" Will
Hold Forum on Questions or
Educational Interest.
The annual meetincr nf th n..,
State Teachers' association Is sched- "
uiea to be held In Portland December
I 29. 30 and 31. The nrmmammo . in
cludes many Interesting- features and
me Epeaxers are men and women who '
will have ajnesage that wllf be help
ful to the -teachers from all parts of
i the state.
Among- the many deDartmnnta nr..
senting programmes for the annual
session none Is arousing more in
terest among- classroom teachers than
the newly created densirtmont r
classroom teachers. It is planned to '
nuiiB me meeting a forum for the
j discussion of educational problems
and of subjects of nemliar nrni.
I slonal interest to teachers.
Enrollment la Inrreaaed.
Organization in all Its phases has
been very widely agitated among
teachers during the past year. The
Oregon State Teachers' association
has been making a strong member
ship campaign among the teachers ot
the state, resulting in a 100 per cent
membership in at least 18 counties,
and a very great increase over last
year's enrollment, which amounted to
3660 and was larger than that of any
previous year. The National Educa
tional association is also workins--more
actively for membership among
classroom tear her than ever 'before
in Its history, mpioyinb this. year a
field secretary assigned to duty on
the Pacific coast. The American
hederation of Teachers has had or
ganizers on the coast during the past
:ev months, and has chartered many v
teachers' unions as a result.
The constitution of the American
l-ederaion of Teachers states as one
of It,a' purposes: "The object of this
orga nization shall be to bring associa-tir.-.s
of tec.che.-s into relations of
mutual assistance and co-operation."
Apparently the question of "organiza- -tion
of teachers" and Its companion
topic, "democracy of educational as
sociations," is not confined to the Pa
cific coast, for a report of the annual
session of the Iowa State Teachers'
Association quotes from a speech made
by Dean Kussel of the college of
education or the University of Iowa
as follows:
Inlon Affiliation Opposed.
"A further organization of the
.tate Teachers' association is the best,
means for combating any movement
toward a teachers' union affiliated
with the American Federation of
Labor.
"The association should be organ
ized to give greater control to the
teachers. There should be a local
branch in each county, town and city,
and a system of representation by
delegates whose railroad fare is paid
to insure democracy in control -of the
affairs of the association."
Some of these topics will be dis
cussed Informally and in addresses.
Following is the programme for the
department:
