The program was arranged by Mrs. John Benson, first vice-president of the council. Mrs. Floyd Barrett, Grants Pass, magazine chairman for the Oregon congress, reported on the recent meeting of state congress magazine chairmen held in Chi cago. She called attention to the series of articles being printed currently in the magazine on international relations, "How to Love a Country" byBonaro W Overstreet. Of interest to every parent, she said, are the articles for study-discussion groups "for a0 lifetime of mental health". These articles are the work of various authors who are cap able in their respective fields, and are a continuous course of study for the three age groups of children: preschool, ,school age, and adolescence. Special Awards Mrs. Barrett told of plans be ing made by the Oregon Cong' ress for special award certifio ates to be presented the units at ihe magazine luncheon in Eu gene during the J.956 state con vention. She said magazine pro motion week is being planned for the last week of February, and that the county council chairman, Mrs. C. B. Cordy, Central Point, will receive furth er information concerning this. Mrs. Edward Nelson, Ashland, Jackson County Council tuition scholarship chairman, discussed the OCPT scholarship, which grew from a single scholarship in 1946 to 150 scholarships in 1955. Last year, Mrs. Nelson stated, Jackson County units alone con tributed more than $500 to the fund. The scholarships are for tuition and fees of students study ing elementary education, and are now available for use of qualifying students in the col leges of education at Ashland, Monmouth and LeGrande, and at Portland State college, the University of Oregon and Ore gon State college. Application blanks for the scholarships are available at the office of any high school principal. These ap plications, and all accompanying forms, must be completed and sent to the office of the Oregon Congress of Parents and Teach ers, Inc., 511 Education Center Building, 220 S. W. Alder, Port land 4, Oregon, by April 1st. Student Speaker Miss Darrelyn Ettel, a junior in the school of elementary ed ucation at Southern Oregon col lege, and a holder of a tuition scholarship, spoke concerning the required courses for elem entary teachers. Miss Ettel ex plained that the scholarship is renewable for each of the four years required to complete the elementary education course, up on application, and fulfillment of the requirements including maintaining a grande point aver age of at least 2.5. To fulfill the initial requirements, Miss Ettel said, a high school stud ents must have moderately good grades, must have shown leader ship ability in high school ac tivities, must have three personal reference forms completed by persons with whom the student is well acquainted, and must write a letter telling why the students wants to become an elementary teacher. Mrs. Leigh Gustison, Medford, recording secretary of the Ore gon Congress, and a member of the state tuition scholarship committee, told of the process that committee uses to determine scholarship recipients. Scholastic achievement and need are both considered in mak ing awards, but are not neces sarily deciding factors.
