Business Management Experts
To Study Oregon's Education
As any businessman knows,
basic principles of success in
clude reducing costs and in
creasing productivity — with
out impairing the quality of his
product or service.
Can such rules be applied to
improve Oregon’s al ready
highly-rated school system?
Business leaders now are
pooling their expertise to find
out, and in tackling their am
bitious project they voice de
cided optimism. Similar task
force studies by businessmen in
other states have resulted in
the saving or more efficient use
of millions of tax dollars.
Oregon’s study, announced
here Monday, is being launched
by Associated Oregon Indus
tries (AOI), statewide em
ployers’ orgainzation.
It has the backing of top busi
ness leaders, of Gov. Tom Mc
Call and of Dr. Dale Parnell,
state superintendent of public
instruction. The Oregon Asso
ciation of Intermediate and
County Superintendents and
other interested organizations
also are pledging their support.
Aim of the project is to
examine through business
management eyes the budgetary
needs of Oregon’s primary and
secondary education. Hopefully,
it will result in suggestions for
more efficient use of dollars
in the business end of public
education.
This is considered important
for every Oregonian, for most
of our tax dollars -- both state
and local -- are spent on educa
tion. It is important for busi
nessmen, whose firms invest
heavily in education through
•their tax payments, and who
frequently serve on school
boards and finance committees.
This fact prompts Dr. Parnell
to say he considers business
and industry to be “full working
partners in the making of deci-
, sions concerning education and
taxation.”

Private business is supplying
the manpower to conduct the
study, plus the estimated
$50,000 it will cost. Study teams
will work under the direction
of an AOI project steering com
mittee of six business leaders,
temporarily headed by Philip
N. Bladine, AOI vice president
and editor - publisher of The
News-Register in McMinnville.
Overall coordination will be
exercised by Warren King &
Associates, Chicago manage
ment consultant firm which is
being retaine 1 by AOI’s special
education st dy committee. The
firm has conducted similar effi
ciency studies of government
and education in Ohio, Washing
ton, California and Oklahoma.
In Ohio, it was found that
by combining the purchasing
power of school lunchrooms to
take advantage of volume
buying, savings could amount to
$5.4 million. Other million-
dollar savings were recom
mended through changes in
maintenance procedures and
textbook purchasing -- without
sacrificing the quality of educa
tion.
Dr. Parnell says he is “very
enthusiastic, seeing expertise
from all areas of Oregon busi
ness seeking ways to improve
business - management prac
tices in our schools.” Having
heard questions about construc
tion costs for a long time, he
says, he is anxiously awaiting
results to see if they are too
high.
Educators have not relied
enough on the knowledge and
abilities of business in the past,
he asserts. “Our training is
mostly in the teaching-learning
process and not management.”
Conversely, the business
study is not getting into the
educators’ field of expertise.
It will probe into such areas
as utilization of buildings, book
keeping procedures, use of
busses, insurance programs,
centralized purchasing and
other adminstrative cost
factors.
AOI expects completion of the
study in time for findings to be
available to the 1969 legisla
ture. Taxation matters, as
always, will be the legislature’s
major business, and school
budgets always figure promin
ently in any revenue considera
tions.
Because of the magnitude of
education as a business, busi
nessmen and educators alike
are banking on the AOI study
for recommendations to run it
more efficiently. Reducing
costs, increasing productivity
and maintaining the high quality
of Oregon’s elementary and
secondary education are sound
business goals in the best inter
est of all citizens.

An attempted burglary of the
Adrian Merc was made early
Thursday morning August 1, but
apparently nothing was taken.
Investigation was made by
the Oregon state police and the
Malheur county sheriff’s de
partment. They reported that a
call was received about 3 a.m.
from the Vern Parkers, owners
of the store, who reported that
someone was in the building at
that time.
Officers said when they ar
rived at the scene no one was in
the store but groceries, some
clothes and several cartons of
cigarettes had been placed in
cartons ready to be taken out.
Entry into the building was
gained by forcing the frontdoor,
according to Sheriff Bob
Ingram. The cigarettes were
placed near the back entrance
and apparently the would-be
burglars had just left by that
d<x>r, he said. Some clothing and
groceries were boxed in another
area of the store.
At Journal presstime
W e d n e s d a y, the investigation
was being continued, according
to a report from the Sheriff’s
headquarters in Vale.
“When more of the people’s
sustenance is exacted through
the form of taxation than is
necessary to meet the just obli
gations of government and ex
penses of its economical ad
ministration, such exaction be
comes ruthless extortion and a
violation of the fundamental
principles of-a free govern
ment." - Grover Cleveland.

Why Bring That Up?
Parents who want their child
ren to have a good education
may have to pull a few wires:
TV, hi-fi, and ignition.
Before long, the equivalent of
starting life in a log cabin will
be having been born in a hos-
ital
that
was
not air-
conditioned.
You never hear of anyone
giving the groom a shower —
they figure he’s all washed up
anyway.
A man has arrived when he
can be as cranky at the office
as at the breakfast table.
