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.
Mrs. Benson spoke briefly of
the Jackson County Council of
PTA,. Vincent Bevis, principal,
spoke on the progress of chil
dren in learning various sub
jects, and the part report cards
and incentives. , have" in -aiding
