With Court of Honor;
Awards Listed
The session, which opened last Wednesday, will continue until next
Thursday, and during this time the supervisors of Oregon, Washing
ton, Montana and Idaho will be given instructions for carrying on the
work for the coming year.
The report on tbe work accomplish
ed in the Inst fire months of tbe year
just passed was made by C, A. How
ard, state superintendent of schools
for Oregon, to L. R. Alileman, di
rector of the emergency educational
program, from dntn prepared by O.
1. Ailnms, director of emergency ed
ucational relief for Oregon.
The project reported on consisted
of a six point program which included
rurnl education, adult, illiternto edu
cation, vocational education, general
adult education nntl nursery school.
A total of l(H).32r..08 was expended
in the work, the report shows.

those of less academic training, the
report stntes. and the ages ranged
from HI to 71 years. Many of the
students had little If any schooling.

wives, stenographers, filing clerks,
meebnnics, agricultural workers, lab
orers, loggers, electricians, ministers,
geologists, nurses, statistician, physi
