WASHINGTON -If vou wore
educated in Oregon's public
schools, statistics indicate you
are smarter than Ihe average
American educated elsewhere.
This is a conclusion of the Na
tional Education Assn., which has
launched a drive here to convince
Congress that It should enact
legislation to improve educational
standards throughout the nation.
On 'he basis of a comparison
NBJA made of Oregon with the
other 47 stales, it finds the state
ranks near the lop in most of the
important categories which it
says reflect the quality of its
school system.
Practical benefits of an Oregon
public school education showed

the states with the lowest stand

cause of the high number rejected
on educational grounds.
Oregon's high standards were
reflected in the following NEW
comparisons: ,
Adult Americans (25 years
or older) on .the average have
attended 9.3 . years of public
schooling, while in Oregon the
average is 10.9 years. Only Utah
could say that its citizens averag

ranked eighth behind Utah, Cali

The high wartime birthrate
which has aggravated teacher
shortages has meant that one in
three elementary school teachers
in the U.S. had less than a four
year college education. In this
respect, Oregon's standards suf
fered, for 43 per cent of its ele
mentary teachers had less than
four years. This condition ran to
as high as 99 per cent in Soulh
Dakota, as low as 2.5 in Arizona.
Oregon was paying $43 per
capita to support public educa
tion in 1950-1951, compared with
$33 for the nation. Only Wyo
ming citizens, at $47 each, were
paying more than Oregon.

City Railway

FRINEVILLE Ml This city's
venture into railroading has been
profitable, the manager of the

From 1949 to January 1, 1954
Ihe line has turned $293,000 into

Glenn, the manager.
It js a 19-mile line, running
