report. After the convention ses
sion, the two Medford delegates
declared they believed the Med

any other in Oregon except in
size of membership. Accomplish
ments and activities equal larger
branches, and surpass those of
equal size, the two delegates
stated.
The local branch is particu
larly proud of the fact that two
fellowship grants of $500 each
have been contributed by the
local group to the national
AAUW in the past two years.

Justin Smith, for many years an
AAUW leader ,and the second
was named for the branch.

study groups, promotes an art
show each year during National
Art week, sponsors a radio pro
gram for children and. sponsors
a children's play each year as a
means of earnmg money for the
fellowship grants.

branch was particularly com
mended by Mrs. Willard M. San
zenbacher for the quality of the
branch survey on nursery school
and kindergarten facilities in
this county. This was part of a
state-wide project and Mrs. San-
zenbacher stated "the Medford
branch did the most outstanding
job of all 29 branches on the pre
school survey." The report was
the work of Miss Rhoda Wil
Mrs. Anderson reported that a
number of recommendations
grew out of the state-wide sur
vey. AAUW has recommended
that the state system of educa
tion make a further study, of
public education on the pre
school level; that the budget in
clude a full time pre-school con
sultant on the state board of edu
cation who would be available
to advise groups and schools
throughout the state; that AAUW
and others promote the addition
of courses to institutions of high
er learning which would train a
larger number of kindergarten
and nursery school teachers and
that AAUW give any possible as
sistance to professional groups
interested in this work in an ef
fort to raise pre-school stand
ards in Oregon.

gram adopted by the convention
