Observes
Anniversary
Medford Altrusans celebrated
the 38th anniversary of the
founding of Altrusa, Internation
al, first classified service club

Mrs. Bertha Haskins, presi

giving an accolade to the small
group of women who gathered
together April 11, 1917 in Nash
ville, Tenn. to found Altrusa.
"Those were war years" remind
ed Mrs. Haskins, "women fcr the
first time were being allowed
to enter many professions and
take jobs formerly given to men
only. Women could not vote,
there were no clubs or meeting
places for business and profes
sional women. This small group
of women had hope, courage,
and faith to charter an organi
zation for the betterment of wo
men, with a purpose shown by
their name Altrusa involving
the principle of sacrifice of self
in the interest of others. From
this small group, thousands of
women are now in Altrusa clubs
made international in 1935. '
Mrs. Edith Baker, first presi
dent of the local chapter, pre
sented a message from the first
national president, Mamie Bass
of Nashville, who said of the
great growth and accomplish
ments of the Altrusa she helped

to do good, man cannot stop
you and God will not."

the keys," arranged by Mrs.
Baker for the occasion and pre

SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY
TRAPEZIUS AT...
Lincoln PTA Hears Talk
On Work of School Boards
Stating that school board members in the United States devote
20,000,000 hours a year to carrying out their work toward edu
cation of the nation's children, Leonard B. Mayfield, assistant
superintendent of Medford schools, spoke to Lincoln Parent
Teacher association at a meeting April 14 in the school.
Mr. Mayfield said that Oregon
school boards spend 110,000
hours on school business, and
that it is estimated the Medford
school board spends 500 hours a
year. If that was broken down
on the basis of a forty-hour week
it would mean that the board av
erages 12 and one-half weeks a
year on school business, without
pay. Oregon school boards are
not paid, although in some states
members are paid, he said.
He listed three types of boards,
three, five and seven man boards.
First class districts like Med
ford, Ashland, and 6C, have five
man boards; Portland has a seven
man board. The school census
includes all those persons be
tween the ages of 4 to 18 inclus
ive. To run for a school board, a
candidate must be a citizen of
the United States, a registered
voter at least 30 days prior to
the election, and a resident of
the district at least 60 days, the
speaker said. To make a good
member he should have some or
all of the following qualifica
tions: Be successful in his or her
business, have good judgment,
have sufficient time to devote to
school business, have a willing
ness to cooperate, good acquaint
ance with local school system
and with the community, be in
terested in child welfare and in
public education, be honest and
possess other characteristics of a
good citizen, the speaker de
clared. School board members have
many responsibilities, Mr. May
field said, but the chief ones are
selection of a head of the school
system for the district; carrying
out the provisions of the state
laws relating to education, in
cluding maintaining a school and
curriculum of the school; repre
senting all the people and all sec
tions of a school district; adopt
policies relating to the business
of the school district; establish a
sound financial support program
for the schools; approve the bud
get; obtain school sites and plan
for building needs.
There are numerous .other re
sponsibilities of a detailed na
ture on which a board member
is called to make decisions as
specified by school law, he said.
In a sense, a board member has
to serve as a legislator, an in
terpreter and a community serv
ant. It takes a person who is
sympathetic to the profession on
one hand and yet who is alert
and aware of the public needs
on the other, Mr. Mayfield 6aid.
Mr. Mayfield also said that too
many people take it for granted
that a school board will do a
good job. Thus no praise is neces
sary, but when something goes
wrong or contrary to some group
thinking, the board members are
too 'often strongly criticized.
Mr. Mayfield stated that
through the years Medford has
been fortunate in the selection
of capable; interested and high
type men and women for mem
bership on the school board.
He introduced Roy Gilbertson
and his wife. Mr. Gilbertson will
be principal at Lincoln next
year, as Vincent Bevis has been
promoted to the new junior high
school.
Mr. Bevis spoke briefly, an
nouncing coming events of the
