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. He also stated

PTA Congress Announces
Plans for 51st Convention
Details of the 51st annual
convention of Oregon Congress
of Parents and Teachers were
reported to the board of man
ager's at a recent meeting in
Portland. 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

mer, and OEA committees are

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."
