The International Conference

OregOn's Exhibit

cation, since the National Education
association has brought to the exposi-
ton ten thousand educators from all
parts of the world.
"The most important addresses of
the association, says j. A. Churchill,
superintendent of public instruction, in
report he forwarded to his office
today for filing, IDEAL with the rural
school problem. "
The newly elected president in his
first address after his election devoted
his entire time to the rural schools of
the country This mas caused large
number of prominent educators to visit
the Oregon exhibit as it is the only ex-
hibit on the grounds dealing exclusive
ly with the rural problem.
! Superintendent Churchill spent one
day at the exhibit receiving visitors
and explaining Oregon's school system.
A large number of schoolmen and wo-
men from all parts of the United States
and from foreign countries called.
Prominent among them were: Professor
B. H. Crocheron, state leader boys
and girls clubs, and his assistant, R.
NJ. Hagen, who brought the state prize
winners in the boys industrial clubs, to
see what the Oregon boys and girls are
doing in club work, and to meet their
superintendent; R. D. Chadwick of the
Gary, Indiana, schools, DR., George W.
Green, of Dowagiac, Mich; George Sew
erance, head of the department of agri-
culture, Pullman, Wash; w. l.. c. Palm
er, superintendent of schools, Independ-
ence, Mo-; T. Inaba, instructor in Jap
anese normal schools; Miss Chittenden,
of Intai, China, who said of Oregon S
exhibit: "This is the most gratifying
thing I find in education today, the
very work you are showing here. With
all the exhibits have seen, the work
is touched lightly, but you are taking
it up in earnest, as the details of your
exhibit show" Others were SupeTin-
tendent W. W. Thomas, of Springfield,
Missouri; z. X. Snyder, president of
State Teachers college, Greeley, Col. !;
Professor S. NJ. Hadden, of the same
college; Mr.. and Mrs. l.. A. DeWolfe,

c. T. Loram, instructor of schools, Dur
ban, South Africa. Mr.. Loram asked
permission to return and make com
plete study of Oregon's plan of con
Quoting the boys and girls club work,
as he considers this the most important
problem in South Africa. F. d. Game
well, of Shanghai,' who has charge Of
all the schools in China, after eXamin-
ing the exhibit carefully, asked leave
to send his secretary to copy all Of the
charts in the Oregon exhibit. He also
requested copies of all publications of
the state department on the rural
! schools.
George Schultzburg, county school SUI
perintendeut Of Monterey county, Cali.
/ forria, held his teachers institute ON
that day. In speaking to his teachers
he said; 81 want an of you teachers
to visit the Oregon exhibit to see what
wonderful work that state is doing in
her rural schools. Their standard school
plan is Just what we need in our coun-
ty." Later. he brought his teachers in
body to visit the Oregon exhibit.
Superintendent Churchill explained the
plan thoroughly to the teachers, and it
was voted by them to adopt Oregon S
system for their county This is the
third county in California to take such
action. II am more than pleased.
said Superintendent Churchill, "'with
the attitude of the California people
They have been most hospituhle in their
welcome to the Oregon teachers, and
generous in their appreciation of the
work we are doing in our schools"
