The State Department of Educa tion says that Oregon will need 86 million dollars worth of school construction by 1960. The problem is critical In resi dential areas outside Portland. Those districts couldn't build the schools they need even if they bonded themselves to their limits. These arc the ao-culled "dis tressed districts." and they are the ones the governor believes should be helped by the federal govern ment. He says the state doesn't have the money to do it. A mlnoilty of the conference sup ported federal aid for operation tutu maintenance of schools. Pal lor. son opposes this, saying It would bring federal control of the HChools.

Regardless of how well meaning a group at thu national level would be. federal control would bring about regimen tation of education. Another serious prootem Is to tind enough teachers. There aren't enough now. and the shortace is expected to become severe in the nest four or five years, Patterson said he concurs with tho conference's recommendations. These' call for giving teachers the same status and presllgo that is given to other professions, pay ing them large enough salaries to compete with other professions and giving them responsibility, freedom, and challenges to their initiative. Oregon had 18 delegates at the meeting. Total attendance was about 2.000. "The delegates," the governor Km, "came home to Oregon wilh the feeling that the road we are Iravenng has been the correct one. We have the feeling that Oregon Is not falling behind In lis educa tional eiiorts, and that we are ahead of many other states In many things. "And it was comforting to learn that our problems are common to the otner stales.'1 ' He said the conference was "the hardest working convention I ever attended." The delegates worked irom 0 a. m. to 10 p. m. daily, with some of them working until 4 a.m. The governor said the delegates included persons from all walks of life, and that It was a splendid example of democracy at work "I was inordinately proud of the Oregon delegation," Patterson said.
