Lew Hanks 10 Attend
 D. {. Meet

Lew E. Hanks, member of the Palmer Independent School Board, has been invited by Presi- dent Eisenhower to take part in the White House Conference on Education in Washington, C. C., November 28 December 1. He is one of the 10 persons quota for Alaska to be invited from his Territory Hanks said this week he plans to leave the Val ley around the 18th or 18th of November, enroute to Washing ton:
 The invitation entities him to participate in the national meet ing on schools, first ever called by a president of the United States, along with some 2,000 other citizens from 53 states and territories. The Conference fol- lows similar meetings called by the governors of the states and territories during the past year, in response to the presidents call for 'the most thorough, wide spread and concerted study the American people have ever made '. of their educational problems"
 Participants in the Conference will discuss six subjects which have ben studied previously in most of the 4,000 community and s states and territorial confer ences on education during 1855. The topics are:
 (1} What should our schools ac- compish? ? In what ways can we organize our school systems more efficiently and economical ly? (3) What are our school build ing needs? '(4) How can we get enough good teachers and keep them? (5) How can we finance our schools build and operate them? (6) How can we obtain a continuing public interest in edu- cation?
 The Conference will be held at the Sheraton-Park Hotel in Washington, beginning the even ing of November 28. Conference Director Clint Pace said discus sion of the subjects would be by groups of II persons at each of 18O tables.
 Each table will attempt to reach consensus among it's partic- ipants on the six subjects" he ex- plained. Tt is not the purpose of the Conference to take votes, but to determine the opinions of persons from every part of the country, representing many back grounds and opinions, in an at tempt to arrive at what the Am erican people want from their schools and how they propose to obtain it.
 "The Conference will attempt to bring together persons who know the school problems of their communities and their stat es and who,in most instances, have taken part in their own con ferences where public attitudes have been expressed.
 Participants in the White House Conference will have full opportunity to say whatever they please and to have their opinions recorded by table chairmen of their own choosing. It is our in tention to make possible the full est discussion on matters which these citizens believe are of i'm portance to the educational vel fare of their communities, their country" Pace said.
 Results of the Conference will be one of the bases on which the Committee will report to the President on the significant and pressing problevls in the field of education" " Other parts of the re- port will include findings of state conferences and results of the Committees studies of the six subjects.
