"ft Salem Scene Business Management Experts To Study Oregon Education As any businessman knows, basic principles of success in elude reducing costs and in creasing productivity without Impairing the quality of his product or service. Can such rules be applied to Improve Oregon's already highly-rated school system? Business leaders now are pooling their expertise to find out, and In tackling their am bitious project they voice decid ed optimism. Similar task force studies by businessmen in oth er states have resulted in the saving or more efficient use of millions of tax dollars. Oregon's study Is being launched bv Associated Oregon Industries (AOl), statewide em ployers' organization. It has the backing of top bus iness leaders, of Gov. Tom Me Call and of Dr. Dale Parnell, state superintendent of public Instruction. The Oregon Associ ation of Intermediate and Coun ty Superintendents and other in terested organizations also are pledging their support Aim of the protect Is to ex amine through business-management eves the budgetary needs of Oregon's primary and sccondard education. Hopefully, it will result in suggestions for more efficient use of dollars In the business end of public edu cation. . . This is considered important for every Oregonlan, for most of our tax dollars both state and local are spent on educa- by Everett L Cutter tlon. It Is important for bus inessmen, whose firms Invest heavily in education through their tax payments, and who frequently serve on school boards and finance committees. This fact prompts Dr Parnell to say he considers business and industry to be "full work ing partners in the making of decisions concerning education and taxation." Private business Is supplying the manpower to conduct the study, plus the estimated $50, 000 it will cost Study teams will work under the direction of an AOl project steering com mittee of six business leaders, temporarily headed by Philip N. Bladine, AOI vice president and editor-publisher of The News-Register In McMlnnville. Overall coordination will be exercised bv Warren King & As sociates, Chicago maagement consultant firm which Is being retained bv AOI's special edu cation study committee. The ilrm has conducted similar ef ficiency studies of government and education In Ohio, Wash ington, California and Okla homa. In Ohio, it was found that by combining the purchasing pow er of school lunchrooms to take advantage of volume buying, savings could amount to $5.4 million. Other million-dollar savings were recommended through changes in mainten ance procedures and textbook purchasing without sacrific ing the quality of education. Dr. Parnell says he Is "very enthusiastic, serine expertise from all areas of Oregon bus loess seeking ways to Improve business-management practices in our schools." Having heard questions about construction costs for a long time, he savs, he is anxiously awaiting results to see if they are too high. Educators have not relied enough on the knowledge and abilities of business In the past he asserts. "Our training Is mostly in the teaching-learning process, and not management." Conversely, the business study Is not getting into the educat ors' field of expertise. It will probe into such areas or utiliza tion of buildings, bookkeeping procedures, use of busses. Insur ance programs, centralized pur chasing and other administrat ive cost factors, AOl expects completion of the study in time for findings to be available to the 1969 legis lature. Taxation matters, as al ways, will be the legislature's major business, and school budgets always figure promin ently in any revenue consider ations. Because of the magnitude of education as a business, bus inessmen and educators alike are banking on the AOI study for recommendations to run it more efficiently. Reducing costs, increasing productivity and maintaining the high quality of Oregon's elementary and secon dary education are sound bus iness goals In the best Interest of all citizens.

PRETTY Cv- EFFICIENT V L The real beauty of the Trimline v3lVW - phone is in what it can do. The dial SwC is in the handset. So you can call from pS" where you sit. There's a recall button in the V l-1 handset too, so you can "hang up" and call again V. without reaching over to the base. There's a longer cord. The handset rests face down on the base, doesn't , ; collect dust. And the entire unit takes up about half as much space as a regular table model phone. Makes beautiful sense.
