An effort Is helnif m.ido by pulhic
spirited citizens nf Medford to rni-e no
endowment with which to found a ml
Ictfo in till oily, That such u prnjeet
should ineci with the hearty support of
every resident of the city and of the
surroundlue country is In hn expected,
nnd none should rhlrk their duty in
matter iluil iiii hih. so, much for Medford
and for Southern Ori'ifoo.
This is an ui;e of educulloii nnd the
community that makes littlu effort to
train and maintain u thorough educa
tional uystoin places a handicap upon
its prosperity and development that in
impossible to overcome. This U es
pecially true In u section like Southern
Oregon, which Is hut partial ly settled
and almost wholly undeveloped, nnd
which is striving to (rain both popula
tion and capital. The class of Immi
grants that are wanted here are the
ones that are tho most particular as to
the nalurul and ucoulred advantages
that a new country can offer lo them.
They consider thu climate, the soil, the
water supply, the healthfulno'S, the
transportation facilities the mineral
wealth, the agricultural possibilities,
the roads und eblef of ail thu social and
educational advantages. A country
may dosbuss all thoe advantages suvi-
tho lust two, yet it will not attract the
hotter cluts of immiL'ralion. If the
social conditions arc of a disorderly
nature and the school system in a statu
of neglect .eople of progressive Ideas
pass on to a locality where life would
be more congenial to them. Only the
thriftless and immoral givo no concern

but few towns In Orcuon, and thir factor
has been tho means of brinf inu many
families to this city within tbe last few
years. But Medford hopes and expects
to be the educational as well as the
commercial and industrial center for
Southern Oregon and to secure this
prestige and advantage will require
much work and the liberal expenditure
nl . , t I U .1
, .
com. to a wwn mat ma.es no .nan any
more than it does tn an individual wboi
sita down and waits for something to
turn up to h-8 advantage. The oppor
tunity is afforded Medford of securing
a college that will be certain to grow
into an institution the equal of any col
lege In Oregon. Southern Oregon is an
empire wilhin Itself add the time is Dot
district whim il will have a population
nuuiueriuK up miu tuo nunureus ui
thousands and that there will bo no
oolli-ge In all this part of the. state Is a
most unllkulv possibility. Il M-dford
raaki s no effort to seouie it '.hen Grants
Pass or Ashland will secure tbe prize.
In fact, leading citizens of Grants Pus
have stated that their town will have a
college so sure as Medford drops the
proposition, but it this town goes ahead
with the undertaking then tby will
give way and give this ulaoa every en
couragement possible, that Southern
Orofou may have a college thit will
afford the youth an opnnrtunity of gain
ing a higher education without the
necessity of going to a distant and
strange place.
That a college in Southern Oregon
would bo a success cannot be guinsaid,
for the success of the Medford Academy
is proof that theie is a field and a de
mand for a school of higher learning in
this part of the state. With a territory
of ten counties, of which Medford is tho
tranaiorta:ion center, to draw from
the Medford Academy has students
from seven counties there will be no
question but there will be patronage

The college influence stimulates a pride
in tbo appearance of a town and a col
lege town has neat, well kept streets
and handsome yards and homelike resi

college to a town Is more than mon
people realize. At a low estimate each
