Says the Medford “Mail:” We have it on good authority that a concerted ac FOR THE tion would l>e taken by the school super intendents of the state, at the next meeting of the legislature, which con venes next January, to amend the pres ent school laws of Oregon, regarding the issuance of third grade certificates. It is argued, in support of this project, that the plan of issuing certificates to those averaging only seventy per cent, STYLES IN is detrimental to the interests of our schools, as a large proportion of those whose average is only seventy per cent, are unable to receive a higher per eent age, and that persons whose education is 30 TO— sufficient only to make it possible to se cure so small percentage are not really qualified to assume the responsibility of training the minds of the pupils entrust Ashland House Block. ed to their charge.

The keyi)olt of the switch between the Cli max mill and the station was broken, and the switch set so that the train go ing west would sidetrack, but the train going east would pitch over the embank ment. Luckily a west bound train was the first to approach. The engineer was acquainted with the station and side tracks, so that when his locomotive took the siding, he knew something was wrong, and at once threw his lever over. The heavy passenger train plunged on, but was under control and stopped be fore the open switch at the west end of the sidetrack was reached.—Oregonian. Are You Satisfied? flAIN STREET.
