tlon recommended (cdcrul aid for
construction of school buildings.
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

bring federal control of the

"Our educational system Is the

Another serious prootem Is to

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

"And it was comforting to learn

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. "They were In serious at
