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-

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. '

There is no joy in the land of our competitors today.
But let us ask you this.
Should we have made Caprice shorter instead of button?

you can apply to your rear wheels at the touch of a
the longest Chevrolet ever built? Or adorned it with
flashy nicknacka to make it iook less expensive.'
Just because competition doesn't, should we not
have offered you washers to clean your headlights,
Should we have given you less power, instead of the
largest standard V8 in its field?
Some people think so.
