Topic of PT A Council
The National Parent-Teacher magazine and the tuition schol
arship program of the Oregon Congress of Parents and Teachers
were the two major topics discussed at a meeting of Jackson

Mrs. Floyd Barrett, Grants
Pass, magazine chairman for 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

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.

and that the county council
chairman, Mrs. C. B. Cordy,

the OCPT scholarship, which
grew from a single scholarship
in 1946 to 150 scholarships in

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

years required to complete the
elementary education course, up

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
