M r. Alderman to Take Part
I
The following plea for increased in
terest in public school matters in Oregon
has been sent out by State School
Superintendent L. R. Alderman:
To the Patrons o f Oregon Schools:
W e do not attach sufficient import-
adee to our annual school meeting.
This year our annual meeting occurs
June 17. On this day one director and
the clerk are to be elected in every
school district in Oregon, a matter of
much importance to each community.
I should be very glad, indeed, to tind
that many o f the Oregon school dis
tricts were making the day o f the an
nual school meeting an important oc
casion, and at the same time taking
advantage o f being together to talk
over the problems o f the schools.
The voting for director and clerk will
take place at the school house. It
should be remembered that women al
ready have the privilege o f suffrage in
school elections. I f all the women of
the community will pack their lunch
baskets, and assemble at the school
house on the morning o f June 17 I am
confident that the men will be there
also when the sun reaches the meridian.
O f course, the members o f the fam
ily under voting age will have to have
dinner. So all will spread out their
lunches under som pleasant shade, and
enjoy dinner together.
A fter a good dinner all will be in the
right frame o f mind for selecting the
officers, and disnussing school affairs.
The patrons will have this opportunity
to investigate the conditions o f the
school house and grounds, and see what
repairs are needed; whether the school
house is properly heated, lighted and
ventilated, and what books and pictures
are most needed. Let us make June
17 a red letter day for our district!
Yours for better schools,
L. R. A l d e r m a n ,
Sup’ t. Public Instruction.
Riding a motorcycle at a rattling clip
on Jackson street, Medford, Sunday
afternoon, John Adkins o f that city
had a close call from instant death

fans and ball players to the Medford
game, Adkins did not see the train
until too close to stop and was a frac
tion o f a second too slow to clear the
train. Charles Verbec, who was riding
another motorcycle was just a neck
ahead o f Adkins and was safe. The
pilot o f the engine struck Adkins wheel
center and landed the rider on top o f
the pilot and well out o f harm’s way.
The engineer saw Verbec make his get
away and did not know that he had
struck anybody until he stopped his
train at the Medford station when
Adkins was found sitting unconcerned
ly on top o f the pilot with his arms
folded, both legs broken and a rather
bad cut on his head. He was taken to
the hospital and given every attention,
and his injuries were not considered
dangerous.
Railroad Man Here
F. L. Burkhalter, division engineer,
for the northern division o f the South-
Pacific, was here last Saturday confer-
ing with business men and property
owners regarding the paving o f the
railroad right o f way in the event of
the company moving the old depot out
o f Pine street and erecting more com
modious quarters for the company’ s
business. Mr. Burkhalter represented
that the company would expect the
city to pave their right o f way except
between the tracks, Taxpayers and
business men could not see their way
clear to agree to his proposition and
further consideration o f the matter
was laid over until a later date when
representatives o f the city will discuss
the matter with officials o f the company
at Portland.
