To meet this change," she said, "the school staff is better trained and more teachers arc making teaching in elementary school a career. What happens then, she ex plained, is that the principal be comes more of a coordinator and has to know how to utilize the teacher's talent. . However, she said, there is still muck to be done to provide the leadership needed for elementary schools of, the future. Better Selection Suggestions she offered Include a better and systematic selection of elementary principals, through the initiative of principals now on the job. ' " -; She advocates an active and vigorous professional- association (such as she heads), improved state certification . requirements. and the need for principals to work closely with parents and the public. . "We are how beginning to em body tho ideals of democracy in human relationships," she said, "and emphasis oa cooperative ac tion is increasing. "The local school has gradually become more autonomous and more responsibility is being placed on tho individual school to plan and direct Its own program of in struction. Such planning at the In dividual level allows for instruc tion to 'meet individual community needs " National Aeclalm Her own school, Richmond, has had no lack of public attention. It has received national acclaim for its school luncheon project which is part of the instructional program. Miss Galea came to Salem in 1940 and taught at Richmond until 1945. After- a year at Parrish Junior High, the school board re assigned her to Richmond as prin cipal, i Following her Oklahoma address she went to Washington where she presided at a week-long business session of the executive board of tho elementary school principals association. Next stop was Richmond, Vs., where she was guest of the Negro Principals Association. Flexible' School Later she visted Maury School which she called "world famous for its flexible school program." After a visit to schools in New Jersey she boarded a plane and flew to Kansas City, Kan. for an other session with principals. She returned to Salem this week and hardly bad unpacked her papers in her office when she started holding conferences with her teachers and began thinking about the annual meeting of school principals in Cincinnati, Ohio, March 24-27, 1957.

Most members of class have not written for pay. (Statesman Photo) Enrollment for Salem's Adult Education Classes 4 Times More Than Decade Ago Willamette U.

Porter, supervisor of adult education for Salem public schools. The acrompanylni article, hated on the Interview, wat written by a member of the clan. By MRS. RALPH BOARDROW We never Vet too old to learn. That stage is obviously held true by the 828 adults enrolled in Salem Adult Education Classes. This is over four times as many as were enrolled ten years ago when George D. Porter became supervisor. Not all those who come to learn do so for the sake of the diploma offered. Only twenty-five per cent! are interested in that formality. A i wide variety of classes is offered, i such as vocational training, home. management, sewing, knitting, art, foreign languages and the highly ( favored business courses. One of the most popular courses Is Civil Service training. Back ground information for this course came from Los Angeles, which leads the nation in adult education classes. While this course is not a duplication of the examinations, it does familiarize the students with the type of questions they will be asked. It no longer Is known as "Night School" and rightfully so. Some of the classes are held in the after noon. Three groups of Instruction are offered Vocational Trainins, General Adult Education and Col lege Level courses. Of the 250 enrolled ten years ago, most were veterans taking voca tional training. After that the en rollment' included s majority of women. Now the enrollment is about equally divided between the sexes. The once-favored, how-to-do-it type of class has faded. For eign language classes have higher interest, now, which Supervisor Porter credits to increased foreign travel. The teaching staff of these courses is made up mostly of past or present full-time teachers, and professors from nearby univer sities. Occasionally outstanding people In professional fields are used to teach within their field, 'and these need not have formal j teacher training for this purpose. They must, like all teachers, have ! a certificate from the State Depart ment of Education. ! J"or students requesting high ; school credits, their scholastic ; records show no difference between credits earned in regular day-time j classes, and classes taken in the Adult Education Courses.
