Accomplishments of PTA Listed by Lincoln Speaker The oak tree symbol of the parent-teacher associations was described, and the reason for its use given by Mrs. Dee Newton, a past president of Lincoln Parent-Teacher association at a meeting held in the school cafe teria on February 8. The pro gram, honoring the founders of the movement, was under the direction of Mrs. S. J. Fagone, who introduced the six past presidents present. Mrs. Newton stated that the trunk of the tree stood for the : National Congress of PTA, the main branches for the state con gresses, the lesser branches for the districts in each state, and the twigs represent the local units. The oak leaves stand for the members of the units. All are needed to keep the whole functioning, she said. ' Mrs. Newton also listed a few of the many accomplishments that the Oregon Congress of PTA has achieved since 19U3 when it was first started. As far back as 1911 the PTA was working for a "safe and sane Fourth of July," finally in 1950 seeing -the "model fireworks bill" passed. In 1913 the PTA supported ,the mother s pension bill, Oregon being the third 'state in the Union to have a mother's pension. In 1920 PTA supported a bill for the educa tion of adult blind. In 1923 the PTA worked- to pass the crip pled children's educational law, s providing for education of men tally normal but physically handicapped children through visits of certified teachers to the homes of children. That year they also sponsored and sup ported bills for loan text books ;for . grammar grades. In 1931, after i working on it for seven 'years, the free text book law passed. , ' During the following years the Oregon PTX Congress has worked on many , legislative matters that would aid .youth or education, including better pay for teachers, a minimum of four years college work and a bachelor's degree for regular certification of teachers in ele mentary schools, safe operation of school buses, and the basic school support bill, to name just a few. Other past presidents were in troduced and each said a few words about the school and parent-teacher work while they were in office. Mrs. j. W. Jacobs spoke of the , naming of the school Lincoln, as it. was orig inally called , the Northside school. It was the second school built in Medford, the other being the Washington school. She was in office in 1917-18, and the unit helped the school get its first piano.' Mrs. Elmer E. Wil son who was president in 1931 32 was a charter member of the unit Mrs. Newton stated that when she was in office in 1934-35 and 1935-36, there were no men on the faculty, and no fathers ever attended the PTA meeting, except for the annual dinner. The school now has five men teachers and with evening meetings there are almost as q many men attending as women. Mrs. C. A. Stothers, Mrs. F. J. Laing, Mrs. Hi Martin,' and Mrs'. John Benson, also spoke briefly ' on their terms of office. The meeting also observed Dad's night, and husband con 0 ducted the meeting. Kenneth o Bramhall was acting president, Eric de Place, acted as vice president, and Sam Bailey as treasurer. Mrs. Bramhall asked members to watch the newspaper in re gard to legislation being brought before the state lawmakers, as several bills concern youth and educational matters.
