J. P. Wells, who taught tho lust
term In Willow springs dltflct, has
been caught by tho school board of tho
Enterprise school on Griffin creek..
Mr. Wells is a capable teacher, kneps
up with thu times und la therefore In
demand. He roused a deslro in the
Willow springs district for a school
library und then helped the sohool to
make a nloo start toward one without
drawing on thu school board for funds.
What wus done in thia case could and
should bo done by every live teacher
in the county,
On the subject of public school libra
ries we will remark that a plan baa
been formulated by which every dis
trict school in the county can easily
make a start toward a library with very
little effort and no help from the
school fund. The main thing necessary
Is energetic, up-to-date teachers In
ohargo of the schools who are alive to
the best Interests of tho scholars and
believe that good literature in the
homes of pupils Is desirable. Wltb
such we will be pleased to co-operate
and assist In this matter. Let us bear
from every one who is to teacb during
any part of tho next Ave monlhs, and
wishes to enter upon this work In cose
the plan approves Itaolf to your judg
ment. Do you want the libraries or
not?

Southern Oregon, which position ho
now held, etc." This last statement of
the Telegram Is untrue in toto. The
Seattle tord and Dr. T. B. Ford, pre
siding elder, are two different men and
the Telegrams statement Is utterly
false, and it ia but just that the people
should know tbe facts in the case.

Medford High School Afumni Reunion.
Each year since the first cIubs was'
graduated from the Medford high school
in May, 1893, there has been an Alumna
reunion, with each year a few new mem
bers added to tbe list. This year Prof,
aud Mrs. Narregan very graciously
threw open the doors of their beautiful
home and gave the committees foil
sway from parlor to kitchen to do any
thing they desired to make the meeting:
a sucess. Accordingly, on the evening,
appointed for the reunion, Friday, July
22a, when tbe people came, they found!
the rooms prettily decorated with toy
and roses. Besides these, there were
two exquisite floral pieces of sweet peas'
that had been arranged and presented
by Mrs. J. H. Stewart. Games had also
been broutrht and uianv nlaved croki
nole, while Other found ainu-ement inr
the "Floral Love Tale."
Dhrine the evenine a short Drotrrmns
was rendered. One of the most inter
esting features ot this was tbe readiDgr
of a lotier-frpm Amos Fries, '93, now a
Willets Poffit, Sew York. Another in
teresting, although very sad, feature-
was a memorial ol Miss Junie Stewart. "
the first member at whose door the
Death Angel has knocked. The new
class was presented by Prof. Gregory Ha
nts usual pleasing manner. After this
Miss May Jt'nipps, w, new president oi .
the Alumni, made a good, Bhort re
sponse. Later refreshments were aerredU
and it was midnight before the sixty or
seventy members and friends realised:
that it. was late, so aetigniiuiiy naa iaer
evening passed. ,
ine memoers oi tne Aiumm wisn to
express publicly their gratitude to Mr. .
ana Mrs. narregan lor ine Kinonese tney
have shown them .
It has been suggested by some and
agreed to by many, that a re-organ ixa
tion of tho association, with a new con
stitution (as the old one is lost) wobM
be a wise thing. It would he well lor
those who think so to speak to the pros
iilent about it. . .
Following is the memorial of Junior
Stewart: .
