Portland, Dec. 15. - Oregon teacher training schools gained a new lease on life today as the State Board of Higher Education voted to keep the schools open for the duration. The future was cast in doubt yesterday when Chancellor Fred erick M. Hunter reported enroll ment had dropped to 317. The three colleges of education have facilities for 1550. Hunter advised that the schools would have to go on a skeleton basis or would have to be aban doned, possibly for use as voca tional schools, while teacher training was centered either at Portland or at Oregon or Oregon State college. Mrs. Beatrice Walton Sackett, acting president, said the board would not consider abandoning the schools. An appropriation of $1800 to strengthen in-service training of elementary teachers was voted. With its chairman. Willard L, Marks, who collapsed at a board committee meeting Monday, ab sent zor ine first time in ten years since his appointment, the board elected Dr. John F. Cra mer of Eugene as dean-director of the general extension service. He succeeds the late Dr. V. V. Cald well,, who died in La Grande re cently. Marks was reported In im proved condition Tuesday at' the rortiana Medical hospital. SGT. LEWiSlVOE Staff Sgt. Lewis E.
