PTA Tuition Scholarship Plan In 7th Year
The tuition scholarship plan of
the Oregon Congress of Parents
and Teachers, started in 1946, is
now in its seventh year. 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. The committee feels
that high school scholastic per
formance, participation in extra
curricular activities, personality

and good citizenship are among

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."
