SCHOOL TUOUHLES. "5'1'he differences between students and faculty that have isen in schools of Medford, Grants Pass and other towns tilts .state at the close of the present school year indicate jiscoiieoption of duty on the part of one side or the other. ich misunderstandings destroy the respect of pupils for tellers and impair the efficiency of the teacher. I'he question is how to avoid such troubles. In Japan, lose people seem to endeavor to apply theory to practice, teacher cannot maintain his position unless he is accept e to his pupils. When he becomes persona noil yrala must give way to some one who receives the affection 1 respect of his charges. What theory could be more lional, and in practice, more effective f With us there are those who still cling to the idea that ucation can be forced or beaten into the youth, against -i will. Many refuse to recognize that the youth of 1") today is the equal in pride and mentality of the man of of a century ago. 1 n our system the teacher is hired by titract for a year, which almost precludes his discharge fore the end of the time. When complaints are made the school boards frequently ;t as though the law required them to sustain the teachers itliout hesitation, and this is almost uniformly done with it inquiry, upon the teachers' statement alone. This is not the manner of teaching fair play and justice our youth. In truth, it teaches the opposite. It would ! better to make the teachers supreme and abolish all ipeals to directors, for in practice there is none. The selection of teachers is generally by school direc- rs who frequently lack competency tor that purpose. lie maimer is bc:;t illustrated by the methyl pv.i-suc! i: neighboring town, where a chairman of a committee ap tinted to select the vacancies reported 40 applications to e board from which lie had selected a sufficient number ; fill the vacancies, each of whom in their applications . limed membership iu that church to which the chairman the sub-committee bolonged. PALMER INVESTMENT CO., Owners of MODOC ORCHARD (1300 acres lying on both sides of Rogue River.)

These lands consist of rich river bottom loam and are suitable in the highest degree for the culture of Winter pears, "Winter apples and all fruits for which Rogue River Valley is famous.

Jn some a truce is declared and the teachers are divided among the different denominations, and in sustaining the teachers in many cases the boards are upholding their church. n other cases politics controls and alters business relations, regard less of the fact, that directors owe a duty to students as well as teachers. Harmony is essential to success in educational matters and it is hoped that the differences between pupils, instruc tors, superintendent and board will be speedily patched up so that the fullest efficiency may be realized from Med ford schools. The natives in Jungleland call Mr. Roosevelt "Bwana Tuinbo" portly master. Now, what on earth would they call Mr. Taft. TO OPEN LANDS IN FOREST RESERVES Wilson Advises Hawley That He Will Have Re-Survey Made of Lands in Reserves. The Tribune recently published a letter which was written to Socretary Wilson of the department of agri culture relative to the opening of lauds suitalilo for homesteads which am now included in tho forest re serves. At that timo the congress man urged that such lands be opened to settlers. Secretary Wilson's view of the matter is shown in the follow ing reply to Mr. llawley: Wilson's Answer. lion. W. C. Hawley, House of Rep resentatives: Dear Sir I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of May 'J8, in relation to lands, probably agricultural in char acter, which have been included iu nntional forests in the state of Oregon. I am now having a survey made ot the lorests with a view to ascer taining the fncts in this vory con nection, and it, we find that consid erable areas have been included that are more suitable for farms and nre not watersheds that should be refor ested, the intention is to have them turned back to the public domain. am 'going out myself this summer to (he mountain states to inquire into this question. Very truly yours, (Signed) JAMES WII.SOX, Secretary. MORE POPULAR Grows In Favor Each Day Thou sands of Visitors Throng Grounds Day and Night. SEATTLK, June 9.

In spite of the sweeping decision of the supreme court, iu spite of the overwhelming victory of tho wets in the last city campaign, there is. a strong possibility that Medford may be as dry ns the proverbial Indian god. A brilliant scheme on the part of the prohis has just been unearthed nnd unless the wets get busy nt ouco Medford will be ns parched nnd baked, for the want of a beverage that cheers, os the burning plains of Kansas. For the pnst few days a petition has been nssidiously circulated about Medford calling for an election with in the next few weeks to extend the limits of the city so ns to take in a large territory on its borders. This petition, however innocent on its face, is the basis of a deep laid plan the discovery of which sent cold shivers up the spines of the wets. Included in the territory sought to he annexed is the finest residence section in the city, namely, the Queen Anne addition, and it is reported that the drvs are quietly laying their plans to colonize this addition with wealthy dry voters. It is reported that John D. Rockefeller has nlready secured an option on 10 of the choicest lots on the hilltop, and that Ihe agents of John Wannmukcr, flovenior Tloch and other prominent drys nre closinc similar options. However, no alarm need he felt, ns we intend to use everybody alike in the sale of this property. For further information cnll on Joe Rmwn or Mose Knrkdiill. agents.
