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.
