MEDFORl), OR., FK1DAY, FEBRUARY 7, 190S. NO. 273 wd laity Znbum CARDS LEAD TO EXPULSIONS F ROM SCHOOL Four Students Expell ed from North School but Later Reinstat ed by Board. TO BUILD RAILROAD TO C MINE A harmless deck of playing eanls has caused a terrible commotion in pub lic school circles of Mitlfunl this week. Fuur vouths who had the cards in their possession were expelled. Their fath ers took the matter up before tin school board, which, after two days weighty deliberation, reinstated the stu dents and forced .Superintendent Signs to publicly apologi to the offending students. The climax came this unou when Professor Signs tendered his res ignation. Who the Boys Were. The boys were Willis Denton, Everett Corey, Walter and Emerson Merrick, the two latter the sons of Councilman F. K. Merrick. Their ages run from l.'l t and nil are students in the eighth grade at the North school. The trouble started last Tuesday noon when Profes sor Shirley found the boys toying with , a deck of cards during the noon hour. The cards belonged to Allen Denton, who was dealing them out to the other i. boys, though no game was being played. Having n deck of playing cards was -evidently a serious offense in the eyes , of the principal, who summoned the boys upon the carpet to meet Superin tendent Signs, who was summoned from I' the high school. The superintendent ex pelled the Denton youth for this and next week. Tho other three boys were 1 expelled for this week. I Merrick Makes Fight. R. E.

That hotel men of New York have the right tn refuse food and entertainment to a woman after (! o'clock at. night, when unaccompanied by a man, was the ver dict of a jury today in a test case brought by Mrs. Harriet Stanton Hlatch. a well-known suffragette against the Hoffman House corpora tion in the twelfth district court. Mrs. Councilman Merrick at once took thel "hitch announced she would appeal 1 lie matter before the school board in be half of his sons. He claimed that card playing was no sin; that his own boys played at home, and that, they had done nothing that was wrong or to bn ashamed of, and should bo reinstated at once, and a full apology made for theuninerited disgrace heaped upon them.

SUPERINTENDENT SIGNS RESIGNS AS HEAD OE WORD CITY SCHOOLS Action Supposed to be due to Failure of School Board to Stand Back of Ruling Sus pending Students for Card Playing-Qreat Growth Made by Schools Under Management After three years' service as super intendent of the Med ford eitv schools. Professor Signs lias filed his resig nation with the school dork to take effect at the expiration of the exist ing contract. The resignation is reported due to the school board's failure to sustain the superintendent, in his order expelling the tour boys troiu the Xorth school for having playing cards in their pos session, and forcing him to retract and tpologize. Superintendent Signs denies that his resignation is due to this ause, but states that he has long con templated resii:ninir. The growth of the Med ford schools luring the past three years has been phenomenal, having doubled in that time. Their improvement in efficiency under Mr. Signs' direction has been -therein! course with office practice, to gether with full four-year courses in Latin, history, mathematics, English, besides economics and psychology and three years of German, together with regular music instruction and chorus work, making as complete a course ns is ottered by any high school in the state. The high school lias been cramped for room to carry on its work satisfactorily ami the need of a new building has been telt tor the past two years. Med ford is soon to realize the hope and a new $-10,0011 building will be ready fur occupancy next September. Improvements iu System.
