ization principles of the bas

passed at the 1957 legislative
session.
. In other business a study of
O&C money receipts and

by the state legislative com
mittee with authority to act
should legislation be present
ed before the 1959 session.
Further legislative goals
approved included the follow
ing: 1. Full support of activat
ing educational television
channels with special consid
eration of channel 10 in Port
land by community and edu
cational agencies.
2. Have the state superin
tendency an appointive office
filled by the State Board of
Education.
3. Increase the state super
intendent's salary from $11,-
