TEACHER
FORM
NEW ETHICS CODE
AT CONVENTION
Oregon Pedagogues Would Be
On Plane With Doctors, Law
era and Newspapermen.
MEETING IS IN PORTLAND
v
Association Would Bind Members Clo
er Together And Elevate Preeent
Standards of Conduct.
Oregon teachers are to have a coda
of ethics foe their guidance.
Physicians have their .ethics; law
yers hive theirs; the Fourth Estate
has its j and now thb teaching profes
sion has fallen. In line.
In written form, a code ot 10 cardi
nal principles was adopted by the rep
resentative council of the Oregon Stato
Teachers' association, meeting at the
Hotel Portland yesterday.
Delegates from all parts of the state
are In attendance for the council,
which is the governing body of tin
association, the general meetings be
glnnlg In the Lincoln High school
Thursday.
The ethical code was prepared by a
special committee appointed a year
ago and headed by J. H. Ackerman,
president ot tho State Normal school
at Monmouth.
The .code as adopted, and to -which
all the, teachers ot the state will be
expected to subscribe, follows:
"To, govern one's conduct In public
and private life by the highest princi
ples of courage, Justice and truth.
"To be loyal to all movements loot
Ing toward the raising1 -of tho stand
ards of the teaching profession with, a
reciprocal loyalty - between teachers,
superintendents and plnclples., .
"Not to mako application foroin ad
mlnlstratlve position 'until a 'vacancy
liBg occurred, nor to apply for other
positions until every effort has been
made to determine .whether a vacancy
exists.
"Novcr to underbid.
"Never to undermine.
"To withdraw immediately all appll.
cations when a contract has
been
signed and to notify immediately all
persons who may bo actually assisting
In securing a posit'on.
"To have a high regard for tho sa
crcdness ot a contract, while In turn
employers should have Very regarl
for tho advancement of a teacher.
"To take active part In all com
munity activities ot an educational
nature.
"To refuse to give or accept open
recommendations.
"To support the State Teachers' as
sociation to tho extent of subscribing
to the Oregon Teachers' Monthly."
Council Adopts Code.
Most ot tho recommendations of
President Ackerman's committee- wero
adopted by the council with little op
position, but the' second principle of
tho code having to do with loyalty to
othorsin profession was only adopted
after a long fight and several amend
ments.
As originally written, it called Upon
tho teacher to bo loyal "to the princi
pal or superintendent and his fellow-
Many of tho delegates took tho
phraseology as a slap at the rank and
(lie ot teachers and protested that tho
humblo teacher was called upon to be
loyal, but nothing was said ot loyalty
on part or the superintendent or prin
cipal to those under him.
Defenders ot tho teachers tried
through a vote to hayo the words
superintendent and principal struck
out ot tho clause, and lost by seven
votes.
Another effort was mado to substi
tute "fellow-teachers" for "fellow-
workers."
Finally the reciprocal Idea was
broached, and It mot with favor by a
voto ot 44 to 28, tho staunch dofenders
of the teacher in the ranks winning a
victory.
Objection was made to the rule that
teachers should not apply for an ad
ministrative position until It was
known that a vacancy would occur, to
tho ground that teachers la oth'er'
states, not guided by Crete (aekera'
ethics, would'' but ia their appllcatlpa
and perhaa Rather (hoJbhs awayfroW

SAVE FARMS- FROM RIVER
A. C. Professor Tells Thurston In
provement Club How.
An expenditure of between $300 and
1600 may 'bo sufficient to control the
destruction to farms caused by tho
McKenzio river. At least, this favpr
able opinion was given by Professor
Tweeters, of tho Oregon Agricultural
college, beforo a meeting of the Thurs
ton Improvement club ono night last
week. Depredations' of tho river on
farm lands havo been cauelag consi
derable loss ot late, and tho decision
ot Professor Tweeters after his laves-
tlgatloBs was very welcome.
Besides the address of Professor
Tweeters, there were talks as follows;
Superintendent E. J. Moore, oa "la-
dusti-lal. Clab work (for Boys jand
Girls;" C. D. Borer, of Eugene, oa
'.'Rural Credit, State and National;"
E. E; Morrison, of Springfield.' oa
"Potato Growing," and O. B. Kessey,

The whole meeting was cheerful and
Interesting, An excellent lunch was
served by the Idales of the community.
