Mr. Wright has carried on the high

Plana for the Improvement of the
Melrose schools and the schools In
that community will be laid at
open meeting of the Melrose Grange
to be held at the grange hall on Sat
urday evening, Dec. 18. To this
meeting everyone Interested In the
betterment of educational facilities is
Invited to attend. The matter of
rural school Improvement is one of
extreme Importance and at the pres
ent time is demanding the attention
of the leading educators of the land.
County School Superintendent O.
C. Brown will be proaent at the meet
ing and will speak on the subject of
"Rural School Improvement." Mr.
Brown has worked out a number of
original plans along this line and
will Inform those Interested of some
of the features that are to be Intro
duced In the schools of Douglas coun
ty in the future and will also show
the development of the past few
years In the educational life of the
county.
Mrs. Brown, who holds the posi
tion of rural school supervisor, will
explain her plans for aiding the rural
schools In the future. Mrs. Brown is
at present doing a great deal for the
rural schools at the xone meetings
which are now being conducted by
getting the teachera to discuss their
various problems and offer plans and
suggestions for mutual benefit.
A. E. Street, industrial club lead
er for the county, will also be pres
ent with his stereopticon and will
show the pictures he has made to
demonstrate the progress made by
the various clubs of the county. He
also has a number of'other very In
teresting slides on various subjects.
one set of Oregon scenery being espe
cially interesting.
It Is held important that every
resident of Melrose and tho adjoin
ing districts be present at the meet
ing which has been called by the
grange, inorder to assist in formu
lating and arranging the plans for
better school conditions. An open
discussion will be held in which ail
will be given an opportunity to par
ticipate, so that all possible Ideas in
regard to the betterment of the
sclioolB may be obtuined.
The only cure for the present na
tional difficulties confronting us is
better educational facilities and a
continuance and improvement of the
equal educational policy maintained
upon the contineut. All children
must be given a thorough education
and when Illiteracy is obsolete good
government will exist.
At the present time the rural
schools are not as efficient as they
might be made. When a teacher at
tempts to instruct pupils In eight
different grades, holding clauses and
preparing lessons and carrying on all
departments of the school in the
same room, the work is not progress
ing as it should and the pupils are
not getting the full benefit of that
teacher's knowledge and ability.
At Melrose a plan for consolida
tion has been proposed, whereby all
of the adjoining districts will par
ticipate in the support of a modern
school where more efficient work
may be done and where better and
more equipment will be available.
This plan will be one of the many
presented for the approval of the
school patrons at Saturday's meeting.
