Newspaper Page TextTWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, November It, 1934 OTI Topic Of Talk for Farm -Women. More students are attending Oregon Institute of "Technology every year, and they are staying longer according to Winston D. Purvine, director, who spoke for a luncheon meeting yesterday of the women's .division of Oregon Farm Bureau federation at the Medf ord hotel. The Farm Bur eau Women are meeting here as part of the 23rd annual conven tion of the group, and about 10 attended the luncheon. Mr. Purvine" said the school now has 896 students, a 38 per cent increase' over last year. This reoresents a larger increase than for any of the Oregon col leges of education, he said, and the enrollment of OTI, in oper ation only a few years,1 has out stripped all the state's education colleges. About 100 women are enrolled. ' " ' - OTI is an unusual school, per forming a particular service for the state of Oregon,- . Director Purvine declared. He - pointed out that the curriculum of the school is designed to meet -the state's needs for technically trained workers,- and mentioned some of the courses for both men and women. These are for the most part on the 13th and 14th education year level, he said, - with some carrying over into the 15th year. One of tnese Is electronics, he said, which re quires study over a period of more than two years. The school, located near Kla math Falls, not only gives the theoretical and technical train ing needed, but has an expand ing program of student activit ies, he said, in order , that stu dents may; have the social ex periences which it is now recog nized are a valuable part of every person's education in or der, that he may get along in the business and social world. Director Purvine also stressed that the school is training phys ically handicapped persons and making them into "proud, self supporting citizens who might otherwise end up on the state welfare rolls." The speaker said that many young people who would do bet ter at OTI than at some of the other institutions of higher learning in. the state were not being allowed to enroll because their parents did not fully un derstand the place OTI has in the state's education system. This is gradually being over come he said. Director Purvine said he chose to talk to the wo men's group, rather than the men, "because it is the mother who has the! most influence on the children's education." ' He closed by saying that OTI "is the practical answer to one of the state's education prob lems "and fills an otherwise ne glected area of education in Oregon." The speaker was introduced by Mrs. Fred" Rueck, Bonanza, chairman of the women's group.. She also introduced Glen Sands, Farm Bureau member who is on the advisory committee of OTI, who spoke briefly." Mr. Sands eaid the Bureau should encour age attendance at OTI, and suggested , that, the - women's group work up a program of scholarships f qr the school. .
