Georgia Ross, rvouiitlyfromSpukano, has outorod tho south primary this week. The girls of the (nth grade guva a very Interesting Thanksgiving pro gram. Only one caso of tardiness occurred in the soooud grade during tliu past montn The pupils ol tho fourth grndn ,gavo a Thanksgiving program last wouiioe day afternoon. The pupils of tho tenth grade had a tost in history last Wednesday 00 "England undor the Stuart Lino." Charles Culp, who attended our school throe years ago, has returned to euioru ana cipuoit to re -enter scnooi. The scholars of the tenth grade hava been visiting the primary grades for the nurtose of taking ootea on the subjeot of primary Instruction The geometry lesson last Monday morning was exceptionally good. This was owing to the short vacation Thanks giving week. Why not have Thanks giving every wees 7 The examinations of the Medford sohool were held this week, but not having time for alt, a few were loft for first of next week, Examinations aro held three limes a year. A hotly contested game of football was played by the Central Point and Medford high sohool teams at tbe lormer's ground Thanksgiving. The score was decided tie, there being 10 points gained by each aide. The Steroootloon entertainment at the opera house Monday evening was a pleating success, ovor Ally-seven dol lars being cleared. As It was under tbe auspices of the publlo school, the pupils are grateful for the liberal patronage. It Is worth noting that tho young men who use tobacco are boconilng more careful In using It In the presence of ladles. A gentleman knows bettor than to use a ulgar in an opera houso or near the entrance while aoy gather ing is being held. Thoopposlllon to tho peanut shuckors has come to be so pronounced that the nuiBauoe has nearly ceased. Those who bavo moro stomach than sense, and who need to be constantly filling the aforesaid organ In public on peanuts and other edibles will soon learn that tbelr room Is preferred to their com' pany. Every pupil present on Thursday, in the public school, In all the grades above tne nrst grade, agreed that tho use ol tobacco in any form is not good for school children, and that they would refrain from its use. The law of thli stole makes it illegal to sell or give to any person under 18 vears 01 age. to bacco in any form, without consent of parents. There are only two or three in school over 18 years of ago, so that any one lurnisning tooacoo to scholars- It Medford will not onlv violate tho law. but will be liable to bo detected for the school is in earnest in this matter and proposes to dolend itself, ito person unuer 10 years 01 ago can legally use to bacco In any form in any nubile nlace. street, alley, etc. It Is wrong to allow the chllaren to be led into evil habits of any kind and there is no worseenemy of our publlo school than tobacco in the bauds, pockets and mouthee of the pu yum Visitors: Mesdames E.
