To day's meeting was a prelimin ary to tho official opening of school Tuesday when students are to report at 9 a. m. Rex Putnam, state supcrin tendont of public instruction, was first to speak at the meet ing. Definition "The new definition of a teacher," said Putnam, "is a per son, usually a woman, who co operates with every city, county and federal agency in training boys and girls between 6 and 17 years of age to work for the Red Cross, register every man, woman and child in United States, drive jeeps, peeps, etc. and in general teaching every thing but reading, writing and arithmetic from a building orig inally known as a schoolhouse. "I want to assure you that we in the state department are co operating with every agency that helps shorten the war, but we must not forget our respon sibility in giving boys and girls a sound fundamental training with the other things gradually worked In. Hills Talks Next to speak was Joy Hills of the state department of education. "Teachers are even more Im portant than farmers," Miss Hills said. "Teachers work with more than food, they work with the country's most precious re source young people." Miss Hills said that teachers should try to develop in chil dren above all certain technics in Investigating and solving problems for themselves. She explained in 1944 there are to be a number of changes in school textbooks and that this year a new third grade book called "Stories of Oregon" will be in use soon in Oregon schools. Dr. Frank Parr in his address said that the future of the teach ing profession is much brighter in Oregon than in the past. Advantage "One advantage in the short age of teachers now is that for the first time the public real izes that it can't buy us teachers for 10 cents a dozen. They have to pay us, and they are happy to do it." Salaries this year start from $1200 a year instead of the $800 or lower in previous years. The talks at the morning meeting were preceded by a business meeting, group singing and two violin solos by John O'Connor accompanied by Mrs. O'Connor In the afternoon session, county teachers met at Alta- roont Junior high school for group meetings and city teach ers met in groups in various city schools.

WAR WORKERS and General Motors Is Rewarding That Spirit at the Rate of a Million Dollars a Year 1 3 4 Floyd C. Fox. a General Motors employe for 27 years, haa received two $1 ,000 War Bonds for suggestions to improve methods of manufac turing parte of an aviation engine. For a suggestion resulting In simplification of machine gun manufacture, submitted after she had worked In the gun plant only six months, Miss Esther Wrona received a 1 ,000 War Bond. In all of its 112 plants in 50 cities of the United States and Canada, General Motors encourages employe suggestions for aiding war production, through a carefully planned system of awards. General Motors has always welcomed sugges tions from employes. In fact, there have been similar suggestion plans in various G.M. plants for years, and it was thought that an expansion ' of these plans in these times would increase war production efficiency. As a result, G.M. war workers have to date contributed 116470 written ideas. Yes, written ideas. Many of them good ideas, "Victory Ideas." Nearly 20,000 of them have been win ning ideas and have beer put into operation. For the open mind policy f General Motors accords a fair test to every suggestion. Eight thousand four hundred ideas were submitted the very first month. They are now coming in at a monthly rate of better than 10,000, or a yearly rate of one idea for every three workers. Thus, the individual war workers of General Motors are being given full opportunity to add their bit to the continuing contributions of management, supervision and engineering, in those activities which deal with increasing production, saving materials, lowering costs and promoting plant safety. Helping Those Who Help America In the first IS months' operation of its plan to reward workers for ideas that assist our war etWt, General Motors paid out $660395 in War Bonds and Stamps. And today the awards are being made at the rate of better than million dollars year. General Motors considers that money well spent. It is a merited reward to those who help America, It is a proper incentive for individual initiative. It is one form of appreciation to those who think as they work who are not content merely to perform the requirements of their jobs. Something Better, Faster Americans are always interested in ftndln . ways to do things better and faster. This American spirit among General Motor men and women now also increased by the desire to help win Victory and to back the men at the war fronts accounts for their inspiring performance. There must be great inward satisfaction for all who have submitted suggestions, in the realization mat they have made some effort out of the ordinary to help win the war. They can say of themselves, as General Motors says "Victory Is Our Business V SOME FACTS REGARDING Q.M.
