WEDNESDAY. APRIL 2S, 19S2 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON mrnm owciikifV jff' AMERICA'S GREATEST DRUG STORE EVENT Starts APRIL 26 10 DAYS ONLY Nationally Advtrfistd Teachers Warned About Alliances; Four Are Honored on Retirement RaHabla Praicriatiani S A H Gratn Slims. Park Shop Main and Cmlral Teachers of the United States should strive for rec ognition aa a profession and not ally themselves with la bor as a total organic group according to Arnold Wolpert, San Mateo, Calif., regional field director of the National Education association. Mr. Wolpert, speaking last night at Rogue Valley Country club to the Jackson County unit, Oregon Education associa tion, said that "this kind of an alliance, referring to la bor unions, "would be as cat astrophic as one with a politi cal party or any one religious group. It would mean we would give up our right to academic freedom and inde pendence, and those rights for the public schools as well. Teachers have only one loy-alty-that is to themselves and to the public schools. We must strive 10 keep the public schools free from domination by any one segment or view point." Other business of the eve ning included recognition of four members who are retir ing this year from teaching, and Installation of officers. Retiring are Mrs. Pva Mc Kee, Medford, and Clarence Davies, Eagle Point, from the Eagle Point system; Mrs. Kathryn Larison of Washing ton school and Mrs. Delphie Cox, Medford High school. Superintendent Glenn Hale of Eagle Point, Principal Ron Weatherford and Principal Lester Harris presented the retirement pins, and Mrs. Kathryn Slancllffe, Phoenix, retiring president of the Jack son County Classroom Teach ers' association presented each an award. Caramony Hald Installed were Mrs. Alyce Archer, Rogue River, as new president of the county OEA unit; John Stewart, Phoenix- Talent Junior High school, vice-president; Mrs. Charlotte Sweet, Medford, secretary; and Ronald McKenna, Cen tral Point, treasurer. The cer- conducted emony was Mrs. Maxine Smith, former OEA unit president and for mer president of Oregon Edu cation association. John Mast, Medford, retir ing county OEA unit presi dent, presided and Verne Wolthoff of Medford High school was master of ceremo nies. Mr. Wolpert opened his ad dress by saying that teaching is "worth giving your life for" and said that teachers must have faith in mankind and must be dedicated to knowledge, truth, reason and rationality. Turning to history briefly, the speaker said that this na tion had been created out of all the threads of society, had gone through a period of be ing new, brash, bold and vigo rous and the belief that "our way is the best." In the past when another ideology chal lenged "our way" we fought back, but in the present con test for survival "we are not able to fight back because many believe the means is too horrible." the speaker de clared The nation is going through a period of restive- ncss and frustration, Mr. Wol pert said, and added that we must have confidence that all problems will ultimately be solved. Problems Noted Touching on some of the problems of the nation, and of the teaching profession, he mentioned economic stability, integration and employment trends, Including the increase of automation. Speaking of problems pecu liar to the teaching profes sion, Mr. Wolpert said that policies affecting education and the schools are often made without consideration of teachers, charged that "de cisions are made in a vac uum" and said that the re sponse to proposals, such as federal aid to education, are by often on an e. notional rather than a rational basis. Mr. Wolpert said that leach ers and education have been the target for much criticism but declared that "what we are and have become is a dra matic thing." He pointed out that public schools as such in this country are comparative ly a recent development, not much more than a century old and stressed that the na tion has made great progress in public education. Raiponsibililies In the interest of becoming a truly respected profession Mr. Wolpert said teachers must accept r rsonal and group responsibility, must carry on a corporate program of activity, such as all other professions do. O u 1 1 i n ing some of these responsibilities, he listed: The improvement of educational opportunities for all children, solving of the problem of drop-outs; helping teachers to do a better job improvement of working and welfare conditions for teach ers; development of stature as a profession, including self- discipline and censorship; in fluencing of policies about teaching; helping to impro e the structure of corporate agencies which teachers have created and striving to main tain public education as a free and independent system domi nated by no one segment or viewpoint of the American society. Mrs. Ruby Hialt, program chairman, and Mrs. Helen Becker and Mrs. Zelma Foote were on the program and ar rangements committee for the annual banquet. At the close of the program, the new unit president, Mrs. Archer, was presented flowers from her husband and from the Rogue River schools. About 125 members and guests attended the event. The guests included Keith Wood ward, Grants Pass, trustee of the OEA board. rffigOaOfi! ALL SALES k . art -jVf t FINAL!
