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.
. The Senta Fe railway, was
named for Santa Fe, N.M.," but
never ran through it. Instead a
spur of the railway serves Santa
Fe, which is the capital of the
state.
