FtBHUAHV 25. 1963 Funeral Services Set Wednesday for Oregon Educator (Continued from Page 1) In 1910 after teaching eight months at Cecil for $90 a month, he accepted the posi tion of rural school super visor in Douglas county. There were 55 schools in cluded in his area and he cov ered them by foot, horseback and boat. He always recalled the pe riod as "a wonderful experi ence in growing up." The growing up made him real ize his need for more educa tion and he entered the Uni versity of Oregon in 1914. His early enthusiasm for law became subordinated by his growing interest in edu cation and after two years at the university he took a leave and returned to Mon mouth for two reasons. He wanted to obtain an elemen tary school certificate and to study under J. H. Ackerman and Thomas H. Gentle, who had brought some theories in German education into Ore gon. Receives Degree In 1916 he received his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Oregon and returned to the teaching field as principal of Monmouth High school. He left Mon mouth to enter the Army for service in World War I. Hon orably discharged in 1919 he moved to Central Point, his first Jackson county assign ment. He was superintendent of the Central Point schools for three years. Accepting a cut in salary, he went to Hcpp ner in the fall of 1922, feel ' ing that he should widen his 'experience before settling i down to one system for more -than three years. Those were years, he often remarked, ' when a superintendent had to be "on his toes" and that of ten involved moving. In 1932 he married Helen Norcross, : a Central Point girl. He attended 10 summer ses- Short on Time? LUNCH at lha WOODEN SHOE Enjoy an excellent lunch with fast service ... a bonanza for busy peo ple.

Moves to Medford In 1929, however, he re ceived his master"s degree from the university, four years after coming to Med ford to replace Aubrey Smith as superintendent of schools. In the field of professional activities, he served for a number of years on the board of trustees of the Oregon Ed ucation association and was on the Oregon Textbook com mission from 1932 to 1940. In 1937 he was one of two Oregon educators invited to make a survey of the Sacra mento, Calif., schools. He was president of the Oregon Superintendents asso ciation in 1940, but through out the years of his superin tendency made his influence felt for the most part with out holding office. Following his retirement from the schools in 1955 he was busy in his avocation, the building game, until illness forced his complete retire ment.
