EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Education Conference Reviewed;
Other Problems Discussed Here
Friday, April 6, 956 . qtor CommSSOn fO
About 80 persons, most of
them connected with education,
Tuesday night heard a report on
the White House Conference on
Education, a survey of the need
for more teachers, and a panel
discussion on how the growing
and changing school system can
be paid for.
Mrs. Victor O'Neil, Klamath
Falls, a member of the state
board of education and a former
school teacher in Medford and
Klamath Falls, gave a half-hour
report on the White House meet
ing, to which she was a delegate
Stimulated Interest
If nothing else, Mrs. O'Neil
said, the state and regional meet
ing leading up to the Washing
ton conference, stimulated a
greater interest in education and
its problems than ever before.
She gave some of the background
of the conclave, which was at
tended by 1,600 delegates from
throughout the nation, who pre
pared their reports through infor
mal discussion groups sifting
opinions into a "concensus."
She pointed out that many of
education's problems stem from
the lack of money and the low
birth rates of the depression
years, followed by the war and
its manpower, material and fi
nancial shortages, and the en
suing rapid growth and shift in
population.
Dr. Elmo Stevenson, president
of Southern Oregon college, re
porting on teacher supply, point
ed out that Oregon schools will
need from 1,600 to 1,800 new
teachers each year for the next
10 years, and that the school
systems will have double their
present enrollment in the next
8 to 10 years. Against this, he re
ported that only about 400 new
teachers entered the state's class
rooms last year, and that the out
look is only slightly better for
the future.
Increasing Supply
As to the means of increasing
the supply, he expanded on the
White House conference's find
ings that, in order of importance,
It will be necessary (1) to in
crease the prestige and status of
teachers, (2) to provide salaries
lor teachers competitive with
other demands for "quality man
power," and (3) to make the jobs
sufficently attractive and chal
lenging to stimulate talented
young people to enter them.
Dr. Bill Sampson, .Southern
Oregon college, led off the panel"
discussion with a description of
"the educational task." He point
ed out that there is a natural
trend to worry about problems
of the present, not those of the
future, even when the latter are
perfectly obvious.
But he showed how increasing
school population will be a fact
in the future, with enrollment
increases ranging from 28 per
cent in the primary grades to 60
per cent in secondary schools,
and 44 per cent in the colleges
all on the basis of children al
ready born.
Curricula Changes
School curricula must change
as society changes; Dr. Sampson
declared. There must be research
in educational methods. Changes
which are coming may well
make even new school buildings
obsolescent, more teachers with
different training will be re
quired, and the schools must
meet public demands for im
provement in services, he said.
Finally, he stated, teachers
must be better prepared than
they can now be, for the people
want the best possible teachers
to instruct their children. He
predicted the public would be
willing to pay the cost of these
thingsoif they are properly pre
sentee" to show the real need.
Marion B. Winslow, Coos Bay
superintendent of schools, gave
a review of sources of funds for
Oregon's schools, including the
original land grants, which now
bring in only about 80 cents per
STOP SMOKING
Scientists proved in clinical tests
that with Bantron 4 out of 5 people
can stop smoking in 5 days. This
formula developed by a leading Ameri
can University is safe, non-habit form
ing, pleasant to take. Just take one
tablet after each meal. You must stop
smoking with the very first box ($1.00)
or money back. Ask for Bantron Brand
Smoking Deterrent Tablets.

pupil year, despite the fact that
they once constituted one-eighteenth
of the state's land area;
federal government financial aid
for vocational training, from
forest revenues, and directly to
school lunches and to schools
where federal activities have
caused problems; the basic school
support fund, approved by the
people in 1946 and since in
creased, and, finally, local prop
erty taxes.
Basic Support Bill
Winslow said the basic school
support bill is designed to im
prove school standards, to en
courage better organization and
administration, to spread the tax
base (easing property taxes), and
for equalization, providing sim
ilar educational opportunities for
poor as well as rich districts.
He said many school people
are now aiming for 50 per cent
support of schools by the state,
and if this is done, property tax
support could be carried on a
state-wide 7 mill levy on an
equalized basis:
State Sen. Phil Lowry was
the last speaker, who pointed
out that the legislature, faced
with demands for money from
all segments of government,
must take a realistic look at all
demands, and compromise them.
Recognize Limitations
People must recognize the lim
itations, he said, pointing out
that demands for state money
have grown "by leaps and
bounds." with a total budget of
some $500,000,000 for the bien
nium, much of which is in ear
marked funds. The general fund
budget is about $200,000,000, he
said, about half of which goes
for education of all types.
The basic problem is the
amount of taxes collected by the
federal government, which lim
its states and local subdivisions
in the amounts they can levy. He
discussed various state taxes,
present and proposed, including
the sales tax which Yte indicated
may be a partial solution to the
need for more state money to
respond to the people's demands
for more state services, and the
need for a more stable tax sys
tem.
He pointed out that the ban on
the emergency clause on tax leg
islation effectively ties the hands
of the legislature in working out
a sound tax program, and results
in ' legislation which the legis
lators think will be accepted, not
what they think is right.
Should Remain Free
He declared his opposition to
earmarking tax money, saying
the legislature should remain
free to solve the state's problems
without artificial limitations.
The senator also said that the
distribution formula governing
the administration of the basic
school support fund is inequit
able, and is getting more so.
Many legislators, Senator Lowry
declared, will insist that this be
revised before they will consider
increasing the fund itself.
A brief question and answer
period followed the panelists'
talks. H. P. Jewett, superintend
ent of School District 6C, Cen
tral Point," asked, rhetorically,
how school people can go about
getting their problems and needs
across to the "people who pay the
bills?"
Same Faces
He said at meetings such as the
one last night one sees "the same
faces, time after time," but sel
dom do the general run of tax
payers come out to find where
their money is going, how the job
of education is being done, and
why there is an increasing need
for money to suport the schools.
Carl Knudsen, representing
the VFW, asked the panel if
"nonessentials" could not be
eliminated from the schools to
save costs. He referred partic
ularly to a class in square danc
ing. Dr. Sampson replied, saying
school administrators must pro
vide what they think the people
want for their children, and that
often it is difficult to know,

As We Live ey
Serving Others Can
Bring Great Satisfaction
There are some people who
get great satisfaction from do
ing all they can for others.
(Q) "My son
JVW married a girl
who has been
very badly
spoiled by a
doling mother.
This girl is
very attractive
but knows it.
She expects
people to wait
, i ,
D. Huilock on ner nana
and foot as her mother has. She
stays in bed most of the morn
ing and expects my son to bring
her breakfast in bed before he
leaves for work. Then, when he
comes home in the evening, she
expects him to help her with
dinner and, over the week ends,
he helps with the cleaning,
washing, marketing, etc.'
"I think he should put an end
to this right away and I have
told him so but he say's he likes
to do things for his wife as she
is so appreciative of everything.
I tell him that she uses pretty
words because she knows it flat
ters him and that this is her
clever way of getting him to
wait on her.
"The more I talk, the less
headway I make. How can I
bring him to his senses?"
Mrs. U. T.
(A) You can't bring your son
to "his senses" unless he wants
you to do so. He is getting pleas
ure and personal satisfaction
from feeling that he is needed
and appreciated. Don't try to
take this satisfaction from him.
While you may see through
the "pretty words" your daugh-
i ter-in-law uses as a bribe to get
your son to do her work or to
wait on her, he does not think
of them as such. He feels im
portant because he can help her
and she is smart enough to play
up to that need in your son's life.
Time May Come
If she demanded things from
your son and showed little ap
preciation for what he does for
her, you would have a right to
feel that your son was being
imposed upon. As it is, he has
no such -feeling. Let him go on
ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D.
as he is going as long as it gives
him happiness.
A time may come, after the
first thrill of marriage fades,
when he will see through his
wife's little trick of getting him
to wait on her and then he may
take a stand against her impo
sition. But this is his problem, not
yours. He will have to solve it
himself without your interfer
ence. (Copyright 1956,
