"My Dear Mrs. Hayhurst The Na- .

voted that the commissioner of edu

year, for the purpose of discussing
the educational situation at this time.

legislature of the several states next
year, eource of income for the sup
port of schools, the means of continu
ing to foster such interest among
the people at large and their repre
sentatives in legislative bodies as
may be necessary to bring about the
needed legislation.
"After careful consideration, I am
of the opinion that a series of re
gional conferences would be mors
effective than one conference for the
entire country would be. This will
make possible a much larger total
attendance and a fuller discussion of
details of conditions and needs. and
means of meeting them in the states
of the several sections. I am. there
fore, calling a dozen 'such confer
ences. "To these conferences are invited
governors and chief school off'cers
of the states, members of legisla
tures, members of state boards of
education, county and city superin
tendents of schools, county and city
boards of education, representatives
of universities,, colleges and normal

Improvement of the schools which as
citizens they own. pay for and use,
all who are interested in any way in
the promotion of education from the
standpoint of statesmanship and pub
lic welfare.
"For the states of Washington and
Oregon, I am calling a conference to
meet at the Multnomah hotel, Port
land. Saturday, December 4. morning,
afternoon and evening. The morn
ing session will begin at 9:30 o'clock.
"No other organization comes in
such close and vital contact with
the elementary and secondary schools
In city, town, village and country
as the Parent-Teacher associations.
Better than all others, they know how
inadequate . is the support of the
schools, how poor the pay of the
teachers, how meager their equip
ment, and what is needed for the
improvement of all these.
"These are some of the vital things
that will be discussed at this con
ference. It is greatly' to be desired
that all Parent-Teacher associations
In the states of the conference group
shall be represented.
"I am, therefore, writing to extend
to you a very cordial invitation to
attend the conference at Portland,
to designate as delegates such other
persons of your state organization as
may be able ,to attend, and to ask
you to transmit this invitation to
local Parent-Teacher associations and
request each one of them to send
one or more delegates."
Mrs. Hayhurst has appointed the
members of the executive board of
the Oregon Parent-leacner associa-
programme and Mrs. Charles Cham

mittee. ' Donations of canned fruits
