STATE PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION
BACKING ------------------
FOUR EDUCATION MEASURES
The College Milleage Tax, the Soldiers' Educational Aid. the
2-Mill Elementry School Tax, and the Blind
Sehool Millage Tax.
The following letter, from Mrs. (C.
W.) Elizabeth H&yhurst, P resident of
the Parent- Teacher Association of Port
land. Oregon, was received by Mrs. T.
M. Lowe, of Owyhee in reg ard to the
im portance of the educational m easure
th ’vt are to come before the voters at
the comi-’g election on May 21.
Dear Mis. Lowe: At the m eeting of
the Executive Board of the Oregoi
P aren t Teacher Association, held April
3 a t Portland, the enc'.o ed resolutions
were unamiousljr endorsed, and we ask
th a t th e individual m em bers of the
various P arent-T eacher Aseociation*
througheut the sta te do all in their
power to a quaint every vo ter w ith the
im portance of the educational m easure
th a t are to come before the people ori
May 21.
I feel th a t these m easures present
th e fl iest opportunity for service for
the P. T. A .’s th a t we have ever experi
enced. and fu rth e r feel th a t it is pre
em inently the work o f the P. T. A .’s
to assume a responsibility in th e ir e n ­
actm en t as such work is definitely given
as one of the objects of our organise
tion in our constitution.
Some definite way* in which you can
assist are 1. See th a t every v e te r in
your community is legiatered, which
m ust he done before April 20, as regis
tratio n for the prim aries closes on th a t
data. 2. Have these resolutions read
ano the measure* explained a t your
n ex t m eeting, and then hand the reso
lutions to your local editor to publish.
3. Intcre-1 all the other organizations
and co-operate with the in bt-half of
the measure*, and ask your m inisters
to speak to them the Sunday before
the election, as it is only by combined
effort we can achieve the desired re­
sults.
The Portland Council of P aren t
Teachers has voted to m ake these
m easures th eir chief in terest until the
election, and on April 3, in co opere
ation w ith the S ta te Board and the
M ultnomah ( ounty Board of P arent-
Teactw r Associations, held one of the
largest and most successful luncheo.iss
ever given in the city of Portland, for
the purpose of having the m easures
explained to the leaner* ana w orkers.
Our vice president a t Vale, M.e. Bruce
K eater, w rites of a rally held there on
April 3 to inau g u rate a cam paign in
the southeastern p a rt of the state, and
J Mrs. S. L. Leonard, our d irector from
Medford w rites of a join t m eeting of
I ail th eir P. T. A ’, to listen to an ex
; plana ion of the m easures by th eir re
p resentative, Hon. Ben Sheldon; and
our vice president for the northw est
section. Mrs. R. S. Myers, is w riting
' a personal le tte r to every P T A in h tr
d istrict.
1 am planning to visit a* many P ar­
ent T eacher Associations aa possible
before the election as 'my b i t ” to
ward these m easures, and if you will
kindly advise me of your n ext m eeting
date so th a t I can arrange my itinerary
to enable me to visit th e g r e rte s t num-
h e r o f P T A ’s >i' h the le r - t enerey
,.nu x, se, 1 shall g ie I I- i Pf' at#

her vitally Interested c itizen s,- drop
nopelessly behind her neighbor states
in her power to secure standard instruct­
ion. for her boys end girls, whose d e­
mands are grow ing with the times.
5. And w hereas, it is the consensus
of tbit Associaton th a t there ia at
present represented not only a duty,
but an opportunity for the a ta 'e of
Oregon for the accomplished of ulti­
m ate economy, in the m easure to pro
vide an emplo m entinstitution for the
adult blind, to be located in Portland,
wherein the sightless may receive such
instructions as will render them self-
supporting and independent m em bers
of society;
6. And w hereas, to m eet these tev
eral pressing needs th ere are now be­
fore tha people of the s ta te of Oregon
four wise eiii cational m easures which,
if favorably voted, will adm irably p ro ­
vide against catastrophe to our s ta te
aims, obligations, and prida -th o se
measures which are know.', as the Col­
lege Millage Tax, tha Soldiars' Educa
t'onat Aid, the 2 Mill E lem entary
School Tax, and the Blind School Mill-
age Tax;
7. And w hereas
each of these
m easures, by its equable provisions,
constitutes no actual saciifice or hard
ship to any voter but on tha on’rary,
is calculated to secure our higher edu­
cational institutions, of whidh we are
a t present ju stly proud, our teaching
forces who deserve our unstinted loy
ally and aid, our soldiers, sailors and
marines, who nave earned our deepest
gratitude, our adult blind, who if ren
denered economically independent be­
come a pledge to our d -cent sense of
obliga’ion tow ard all our c t.z e n .rj ; Is
calculated to secure all these inestimable
benefits which will, in turn, accru . to
the entire sta te itself capital and in
te re st in pres nt accom plishm ent and
in prom ise of steady, praisew orthy fu ­
ture developm ent;
8. Therefore, be i t resolved, th a t
we, the Oregon P aren t T eachers Ass -
cixtien, do eurnastly sanction and will
heartily support w ith the full strength
of our organization; The Coilegs Mill
a g e Tax, thi Soldier's Educational Aid,
the 2 Mill School Tax. and the Blind
School Millage Tux, which m easures
have been referred to the people of
Oregon, for th eir vote, upon May 21.
