A 19-year-old Corvallis youth
was returned to Salem from Port
land Wednesday by detectives to
answer to a larceny charge in a
case involving five ruled cars,
city police said. - ,
Richard Lee Davidson was re
turned on warrant out of Polk

and scientific fact and concepts,
she said.
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.

Georco D. 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.
