By means of this plan many of Oregon's su perior young people have been attracted to the profession of teaching at the elementary and junior high levels. Through the tuition scholarship the Oregon Congress offers full tuition and fees at any of the three state upported colleges of education (Ashland, LaGrande or Mon mouth) to qualified superior stu dents planning to become teach ers. Starting next fall the schol arships may also be used at Ore gon State College and the Univer sity of Oregon. Contributions from PTAs all over the state to the tuition schol arship fund stand now at $15,538, well ahead of last year's total of $10,095. Currently, 111 students are being helped by the grants. Money for the scholarships is raised from contributions by each local unit Some units that are un able to give a complete scholar ship contribute as much as they can. The scholarship fund is ad ministered by a committee ap pointed by the president of the Oregon Congress of Parents and Teachers. Chairman of the com mittee is Dr. Verne D. Bain, as sistant superintendent of Port land schools. Dr. Bain is a former resident of Salem where he was associated with the State Depart ment of Education. Listed among students from this area who have been awarded scholarships are Marjorie Kron ser, Salem; Harry Pease, Salem; Carolyn Jones, Salem; Robert Gary Reid, Monmouth; Barbara Ann H a m a n n, Indepemierwe; June Ethell, Gervais; Ella Mae Swanson, Lebanon; Beverly Jean Nicholes, Lebanon; Verne Busier, Dallas; Beverly Jordan, Lebanon; Myrna Little, Sweet Home; Mer-rily-44er chant. Lebanon; Helen Stewart, Sweet Home, and Joan Russell, Scio. Application forms are distrib uted to high school principals, in dividual applicants on request and to county council presidents on request. The committee exam ines the applications, determines and notifies the successful appli cants. The significant qualifica tions of applicants are those that indicate superior aptitude for teaching.

Many Others Also Praised For Their Aid "The effort of the local com mittees that have planned and done the major part of the work for the 1954 "state convention of the Oregon Congress of Parents and Teachers is one of the finest demonstrations of a working co operative enterprise that I have ever observed," DennifW. Patch, convention chairman, said Tues day. Co-chairmen are Mrs. L. E. Marschat and Leo Johnson. "Twenty-six separate commit tees composed of over four hun dred P-TA members located not only in Salem, but on the sur rounding areas of Marion, Polk, Linn, Benton, and Marion Coun ties have devoted hundreds of hours of work in an effort to pro vide adequately for our P-TA convention guests. "Local committees started work on the convention in January and will continue working through the convention. In recent weeks many committee workers have devoted full time to convention. Through out the period of work on the convention there has been no missed work assignment, no alibis and no gripes. All committee chairmen, co-chairmen, and work ers have done their job well. Cooperation Emphasized "The committees' fine work would not have been possible without the cooperation and sup port of the Salem businessmen, the Salem Chamber of Commerce, officials of the state, county, and city, the Salem Hotel and Motel Association, the Salem School Board and the administration, faculty, and students of Salem schools and the schools in the sur rounding area of Polk, Benton, and Linn Counties. Many indivi duals and many other organiza tions in the area have provided help on the convention. "Finally, sincere thanks are due the state officers of the Oregon Congress of Parents and Teachers, the State Convention Planning Committee, and the P-TA Pro gram Committee for their part in planning, advising, and working on the convention."
