State Superintendent of Schools Attends
Splendid Meeting at Vallley View
Approximately 60 directors and
clerks attended the meeting for school
officers at Valley View School on
Monday. State Superintendent Rex
Putnam and Dr. V. D. Bain, of the
state department of education, were
the out-of-county speakers.
Mr. Putnam explained the plan of
the state department of education in
attempting more nearly to help ele
mentary schools, especially rural
school*. The plan, which is being
used in Coos county, is the plan
which they hope to carry throughout
the state, namely: the visit of V. D.
Bain, who is head of the elementary
education, to as many of the rural
situations as possible, and a follow
up meeting with the school boards.
Coos county is the first county to
have the privilege of one of these
school officers’ meetings under the
new plan.
Mr. Putnam spoke to the directors
and clerks as to the work of the
teacher, emphasizing that above ev
erything boards must realize “teach
ers are people.” He said that a great
deal of nervous strain could be pre
vented by preventing children from
arriving at too early an hour and
beginning school at too early an age,

The Arago basket ball team re
turned from Ashland Sunday in pos
session of a beautiful cup awarded
to them as winners of the champion
ship of the Presidents’ cup division
at the Ashland tournament. Seven
teen teams from eight counties were
competing. The Arago team played
their first game Thursday afternoon
against a Southern Oregon Normal
school team, the Normal team substi
tuting for Sisters, which failed to
arrive. Friday morning Arago had
no trouble defeating Days Creek 33
to 12, but Friday evening they were
barely able to win over the strong
Glendale team, 12 to 11. In the
championship game Saturday night,
Arago defeated Henley, last year’s
winners with a score of 29 to 16.
Two Arago players, Ivan Robison
and Ellis Rackleff were selected on
the all-star team for the Presidents’
cup tournament. Tennessee Robison
was picked for the second team. Mil
