TEACHER TRAI
BY
Keeping Schools Open For
Duration Favored; Cra
mer Extension Head.
. 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.
