Tribune FORD FOURTH YEAR. MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9, 1909. No. 70. MED Daily I 1 . .6 Vs MEFF RETAINED TO GET DIPLOMAS FORJTUDENTS School Board Decides to Give Credits But Not Diplomas Matter 1 May Be Carried Into the Courts. MISS WARNER'S FRIENDS COMING TO HER ASSISTANCE She Objected to Merritt's Behavior in Schoolroom and Was Asked to Resign Her Position. Attorney Porter J. Nell' 1ms been retained by eortnin cilizens of Mod ford to see whcl her it is possible to compel the school bounl to issue di plomas to the students of the high school who did not appear at the commencement exercises on lust Fri day evening, out of sympathy for n fellow student, who they claim was held down through spitework on the part of one of the instructors. Mr. Ncff is looking into the matter, but ns yet is not ready to announce his course of procedure. To Give Credits. . It was announced Wednesday, fol lowing a session of the board called in somewhat of a hurry Tuesday evening, that the board was unani mously in favor of granting the credits to the students who did not nppenr. but that no diplomas would J be issued. The distinction is slight, however, as any of the studenfs wishing to enter a higher school needs only to write for a certificate of his standing and it will be sent to him. All of the class will thus lie treated, with the exception of Pari Glasgow, and he will be given credit for all of his work excepting the half credit which he is said to have failed in making. From present indications (his will not suffice to alter the determination on the part of the citizens to gain diplomas for the students, but the fight will be kept up ns long as there is thought to be any redress at law. Merritt's Conduct. It is reported that the retpiesl for ' Miss Warner's resignation grew out of the fact that she refused to over- look certain indiscretions on the part a of George Merritt. an instructor, who,' it is imported, has also been i asked for his resignation. It is claimed that Merritt acted ut divers . times in an uugcatlemunly manner toward certain members of his i classes and that Miss Warner ob 'jected. Further (linn this the mat ter is said to have been carried to -Superintendent Smith and that be .favored Merrill against Miss War ner, who was asked for her resig nation. Out of the mailer, it is said, grew Merritt's forced resignation. Was Faithful Instructor. j ,1 Miss Warner's many friends are Scorning to her aid in the matter and. THE ROGUE RIVER, MOST BEAUTIFUL OF ALL OREGON STREAMS THE ROGUE is a stream of wild beauty, the most beautiful of the many beautiful rivers of Oregon. From its source amid (he snowy sentinels of the Cascades, through inac cessible canyon, verdant valley, precipitous gorge, and awesome pnlisndes to where it spills its mud waters into the heaving sea, everywhere it charms the eye and fascinates the fancy. The Rogue rises in one of the world's wonder spots, amid scenic at tractions few rcgio n s surpass. From its sourco to its mouth its torrents nro precipitated vertical ly a mile and a half, wasting more power than Niagara. Its countless falls nnd cascades, its still silent pools, its my riad rapids nnd riffles, are exquisitely framed by nature to delight the artist and appeal to the poet that, latent, lurks in all of us. The upper Rogue tune fully tumbles nnd teal's its way through an (in frequent e d wilderness. Floods of many centuries have cut nnd carved its bed in the solid lava (bat poured from the once ma jestic volcano, who s e burned-out bowl is now filled by the blue waters of Crater Lake. Over and under and through this once river of molten rock dash the swirling waters, churned to a foaming frenzy.
