Coming to Medtbrd as a young man in village tiny, Mr. Vawter saw its opportunities and possibilities and beeame one of its leading citi'.ens and principal connnunih' build cm. In the intervening yea i-h he lists been aetive in all lines of human endeavor. Proirrossive. enfoi'nnsimr. fW- sighted, he has perhaps contributed more to development than any of our citizens. Ilo was in the van of every bet terment effort, giving freely of time and money in advanc ing the best interests of southern Oregon. Though cut off in the prime of life, with wide fields of opportunity opening beforo him, with statewide apprecia tion of his efforts and recognition of his service and abil ity, with the future holding mucb for him, Air. Vawter has left an enviable record tfml should be an inspiration 1o youth. That he was sueeassful in all he undertook is a tribute not only to his talents, but to his ceaseless energy for he was probably the hardest worker iirtho commun ity. The sympathy of all southern Oregon goes ouj. to his bereaved family, for their loss is also the state's loss. DONATIONS SOUTHERN N POULTRY SHOW in H'lttih SfTlT tll..' TulU m IS!

DEFECTS IK 3CDUCATIOK SERIOUS defects in American educational methods exist. The grammar and high school graduates are not as well grounded in vssentials as in former generations, despite the increased cost of education. There is n tend ency to scatter over many subjects instead of complete mastery of few. Many of our high school graduates are deficient in ground work and have failed to learn concen tration. These defects are thus summarized by .fames J. Hill, the railroad builder: "Thn groatoat difficulty this company oxnorlenroa In ircurliwt rom nntent omployea la thv rndlcul drflcloncy lu thonoiiKh tMlucatlon In tho uiuiiieiiuiry orniiciicH. uigii hpiiooi Krnuunioa wuo como to ua wltli a good ifitord nd rcrannnonilatlona nro iinnhlo fn(iinntly to write n Jot ter In fair KnulUli, to gpoll correctly or to uinko linUo urlthniHtlcHl computation, olthor quickly or nctiratoly. Krom thla oxporlunco two conclualona na to the offlcloncy or current oducatlonul niothtitla may lie drawn- first, puplUt know a llttlo or many thluga, hut no ono IIiIuk thor. oiighly.

It la upon tho correction or thoso dofooU, oapcclnlly In nlpiuMitary Iu ciitlou, that intention ohould bo conrontrntud." This is the experience of most business men. The time of the pupils seems to lie dissipated over the frills and furlelovs of education to the neglect of the fundamentals. The system of credits, whereby pupils are passed to higher grades on daily averages, instead of by final examinations, does not make for thoroughness, for many children master si subject superficially enough for a good recital when it is fresh in their minds, and have forgotten all alxmt it by the term's end and examination reveals the deficiency. A test has just been given the graduates of one of Port land's large grammar schools by Dr. JMinund Mvers and the board of education. The quest ions' were uion spelling, grammar, history, geography and ariUimetie. There were thirty-one boys and girls and Ihey nrcraged -10.72 per cent of correct answers out of a possible 100. The questions were all .simple and concerned primary work. Some of the results are thus stated in the lorllaiid Telegram: No child apollod "dlptliorU" or 'ltlhrws,, nnd hut four-aixdlod cor rectly "liurnaa1 nnd "cantt'tary." Oni'-foalf of tho class mlftsod "alago" and "alo." Tho hlghost mark for any child was 75, average 5S.7 per cant. f Sovon out or St did not know lh what state the Hudson river lias. None know all tho nnawora to th.4 questions ooniernlnr. tha capitals ot fle stntoa. The highest wrniagr obtained by any pupil In geography was ftfi. One child obtained fro. The cIhsh average was 2-1.7 per rent. Ill tho arithmetic toat only aix out or rtl were correct In both qurs. tlona In percentage. There vsero three or four who did not know how many feet there were In a mile or how inanv rods In an acre. About ouo-thlrd fell down on nnawera to the question roiu-ei-nliiK tho finding of thn circumference to a, circle. Only two got all tlt anawera correct and of these one ws the pupil who led the clnsg flu nearly all the subjects. Olass average is. fit. lu history fcin class averaged 4U.C3 prr cent. One pupil said the Dred tVott ileclahc'i had something to do with the liquor question. There rxruflly 0e of tbe thlrly-ons pupils who obtained a grand average or T5 -,er cent In all the question In all milijt'ctn. lu panimar (lie rlaaa averaKe was M.iMl per cent. The examiner concludes that paper cutting ami other frills uf the lower grades should be left to the kindergar ten, ami dressmaking, designing, canning fruit, cooking ami other furbelows of the upper grades left to the tech nical high schools or homes, mi that the pupils will have more time for essential fundamentals ami, judging by results, most pimple agree with him.
