Minister Talks For Meeting of Sorority Chapter The Rev. John Reynolds, as sistant pastor of First Presbyter ian church, was guest speaker for Alpht Lambda chapter of Ep silon Sigma Alpha sorority Jan uary 23. The Rev. Mr. Reynolds showed slides taken at Beirut, Lebanon, where he spent two years as a student pastor and student at the American univer sity. The university was founded in 1866 as the Syrian Protestant college but ttre name was chang ed to American university in 1920. There were 3000 students at the university during the time the Rev. Mr. Reynolds was at tending, with most of them be ing from the Middle East coun tries. Classes are conducted in English as most schools start teaching the English language to students when they are in the third or fourth grades. Lebanon compares in size t,o the state of New Jersey, being approximately 40 by 120 miles in size, the speaker said. It borders on the Mediterranean sea and has two mountain ranges run ning through it. It is known as the Switzerland of the Middle East with much tourist trade. There are many examples of the modern world in Lebanon with six-story apartment buildings, running water, electricity and thousands of cars. Electricity is used for lights and radios only, with kerosene being the princi pal fuel used. The Islamic religion is observ ed by 95 per cent of the peoples in most surrounding countries but Lebanon is 51 per cent Chris tian and 49 per cent Islam. The Islamic religion started in 622 AD and was one of the fastest spreading religions. The Rev. Mr. Reynolds had pictures of some of the Moslem mosques taken in various countries.

The convention will be held April 17-19 in Eugene and Mrs. Jennelle Moorehead, Eugene, a past president and cur rent hospitality chairman of the congress, is convention program chairman. Mrs. Ross Doty, Eugene, con vention chairman, and Mrs. Lloyd L. Edwards, Springfield, her co-chairman, announced that plans for handling the huge dele gation expected are nearing completion. Transportation has been one of the main problems facing the mangement commit tee. The Eugene Hotel will be convention headquarters. Gen eral sessions will be held in the Eugene High school, and the workshops and exhibits will be on the University of Oregon campus in the Erb Memorial building and adjacent class rooms. Each of these places is some 13 or more blocks from the other. The large percentage of both high school and university stu dents who drive their own cars and the resultant lack of park ing facilities has further com plicated the problem. Every ef fort is being made to solve the difficulty, and the city of Eu gene is extending free down town parking to delegates. It is also expected that some cour tesy transportation from local PTA members will be arranged. Delegates who pre-register will be able to lunch at the Uni versity of" Oregon dormitories. A number of special breakfasts, lunches, and dinners have also been planned. Tuesday a men's dinner is scheduled before the evening session. Wednesday morning the eight junior vice presidents will preside over separate regional breakfasts. These are being held as early as possible in the convention this year to enable delegates to find and get acquainted with others from their areas. The banquet and installation of officers will be held Wednesday evening at the Lane County Fair Grounds, the only place large enough to accommodate the number ex pected to attend. Thursday morning a presidents' breakfast will precede the general session, and Thursday noon a national Parent-Teacher magazine lunch eon is planned. The Mothersing ers' concert, always a convention highlight, will be part of the Tuesday session, which will be open to the public. Emphasis this year, in re sponse to requests, will be on the workshops. A total of 17 separate workshops are being held on every department of PTA work, many being in two sections, one for city PTA's and one for rural PTA's. The high school service workshop is also divided into one for junior and senior high schools, and one for schools which are a combination of high and elementary. Each of the 17 workshops will be re peated four times. The work shops are also being conducted differently this year, with emphasis on specific, step by step helps for new and inex perienced chairmen and presi dents. Principal speakers for the 3-day sessions will be Mrs. Ed ward T. Walker, Los Angeles, vice-president of the National Congress of Parents and Teach ers; Dr. Meredith Wilson, En gene, president of the Univer sity of Oregon; and Dr. John Foskett, Eugene, University of Oregon professor. Dr. Foskett, who has made an extensive re search into what makes people participate in community activi ties, is expected to have some answers to the perennial ques tions "How can we get people out to meetings?" and "How can we get them to participate in the work of our organiza tion?" . Two panel discussions are planned for the final day of con vention, the morning one on "The Influence of Today's Com munity on Your Chhild," with Dr. R. E. Lieuallen, Monmouth, president of Oregon College of Education, as moderator. On the panel will be Miss Dorothea Lensch, Portland, director of recreation for the City of Port land and recreation chairman of the National Congress of Par- D ROBERT E.

A scientific study of the physi cal fitness of Oregon's children is now being made, and it is ex pected that Dr. Clarke will give the first announcement of the findings of this research at that time. The afternoon panel on "Ju venile Decency in Today's Com munity" will have six high 'school students, two from Port land, two from outside Portland, and two from rural areas. Wayne Durrell, Portland, regis trar at the University of Port land and juvenile protection chairman for the Oregon Con gress of Parents and Teachers, will be moderator. Teacher Attends OEA Meetings Mrs. Maxine Smith, Medford teacher who is president of the Department of Classroom Teach ers, Oregon Education associa tion, is in Portland this week end to attend a planning com mittee meeting. The annual convention of Na tional Education association will be held in Portland this sum mer, and OEA committees are meeting frequently to make convention plans. Five thousand delegates and a total of 17,000 persons are expected to. attend the convention, Mrs. Smith states. Convention plans call for a "chuck wagon" supper at Mult nomah stadium to be attended by . about 2,000 persons, with a program following for the entire convention body. The convention will be held the first week of July and will be followed by 'special work shops at Lewis and Clark col lege of two weeks duration. Last week end Mrs. Smith was . also in Portland, having attended a meeting of the board of directors of the Department of Classroom Teachers. This group also discussed convention plans. The week end of January 13 Mrs. Smith attended a meeting of a sub-committee to the ad visory committee on teacher certification. Discussion mainly centered on the emergency cer tificates for elementary teachers. A statement issued by the sub committee read: With full recog nition of the current shortage of well-qualified teachers, the exec utive committee of the OEA De partment of Classroom Teachers has urged that every effort be made to maintain the standards of teacher certification in Ore gon at a high level because of their importance in assuring Ore gon school children a continu ance of a high quality educa tional program." Relative to this action the group commended the Oregon State Department of Education for the objective manner in which it has administered pres ent certification rules and reg ulations. Another action of the group called to the attention of the public a statement of the State Board of Education that "every teacher who serves as a substi tute teacher or as" a regular teacher on either a full or. part time basis in the public schools of Oregon must hold a valid Ore gon certificate."
