STUDY AT HOME
FOR PUPILS
The tciichcrs in (lie elementary
M'hnnls and hi-'li sehool of Metlforil,
desiring to eo-ojiernte with t lie par
ents in petting t lie best results from
the iiclviiiiliitfos offered in the public
scdioolij unl to increase the efficiency
of the tciicliinfr, are prompted to is
sue this open letter to parents and
citizens of the city of Mcdford.
Ill general, it may be said that rcjr
ular attendance, punctuality and
obedience are absolutely essential to
success in any system of schools
Medford is particularly fortunate in
having very few homes in which chil
lrcn arc detained from school for
any enuses hut those most necessary
Home study is vcrv necessarv.
Kvery pupil in the hie.li school has
daily four or more lessons to pre
pare. One or two of theso can be
prepared in school duriiiir vacant
periods, thus leaving work to he done
nt homo The length of time to lie
fcpent on out-of-fechool study varies
with different pupils and on differ
ent days. It is, therefore, difficult
to Iny down rules to govern home
study, but in general it may be said
that unless a pupil is doing consid
erable systematic study at home ev
ery day it is certain that he is not
getting all his school work well done.
If pupils report that they have no
liomo study to do, parents should
eommuniento at once with the super
intendent or principal, so Hint mat
ters mny bo lighted and failure may
bo avoided.
It iB usually well understood by
parents that social distractions, es
pecially on school day evenings, are
nearly always fatal to successful
Nclioor work. It is now the rule in
nearly all families that pupils spend
their evenings regularly in the home,
excepting on Friday and Saturday.
Rineo the school studies are suffi
cient to occupy all the time of pu
pil, except such as is taken for rec
reation or needed service at home,
any special outside recreation or en
tertainments handicap the pupils in
their lesson preparation.
It is only natural for pupils to be
interested in things outside of the
school room. Some of these inter
ests can be turned to good account
by the skillful teacher and wise par
ent. In other enses these outside in
terests invade the schoolroom and
demoralize the entile school. A ser
ies of events that take pupils away
from their evening studies, a succes
sion of parties or lalo automobile
rides will usually mar the otherwise
successful work of the year.
In n community such as ours, near
ly every homo nffords excellent en
vironment for sufficient social rer--ation
as well as for evening study, ll
is tho present belief Hint tlice ur.
too few homes that have the old-time
family group about the evening lamp
profiaring lessons for tomorrow.
It is, therefore, urged upon parents
that they guard with jealous care the
time of their children against the en
croachments made upon it. In many
eases the objects for which the time
of the pupils is used are entirely
worthy, and yet the education of the
children should .not he jeopardized
by any project that can be carried
forward in any other way.
It is further urged upon parents by
teachers that they consider the time
and the strength of their children n
most valuable asset, and that they
nid the school authorities and their
children at the same lime by incul
cating ideas of good work in school,
anil regular daily studv hours in the
homes. V. MKI.IK) IIII.I.IS,
Supt. Jlcdfoi'd Public Schools.
The Soldiers' Auxiliary has mad
amusements for the manufacture of
fifty gallons of npplc butter to In-
shipped to the Seventh company in
the near future. Mr. Ziinmer, super
intendent of the Knight 1'uckiug
company's plant here, has very gen
erously offered to furnish the con
taincrs and make the butter flee ot
charge, and donations of the fruit
and sugar are being solicited. As the
government does not tiirni-h any
sweets in the regular rations, the gilt
will no doubt he very welcome to the
hoys of the company.
With Moilfmd trnne la Mrnlrord maitt
C company, of the Third Oregon in
fantry, stationed on guard duty in
Medford, and which will depart from
the city at 8:20 a. m. Monday, hits
made a record among the military or
ganizations of the northwest, thru
huving subscribed last nigh! and to
day .r12,2')0 to tho second liberty
lonn.
This big sum .subscribed by the
patriotic officers and men of (! com
pany, was subscribed last night and
today. A notable feature of the sub
scription was that last night inside
of thirty minutes the members in the
camp at the baseball grounds sub
scribed $7(i.'i(). The remainder of the
subscription of $12,250 was taken
up by members of the company on
guard duty in the Siskiyous and at
Wolfe Creek and I-eland.
Captain J. J. Crossley is justly
proud of this great patriotic reconi
made by his company, and Saturday
afternoon sent n number of telegrams
to high military officers turnout the
country apprising them of the big
subscription the company had mink.
It was announced Saturday after
noon by Captain Crossley that C
company would depart from Mcdford
for Clackamas on Monday morning in
three coaches and baggage em.-.,
which will be attached to train 11,
leaving Mcdford at 8:2." n. m.
It is expected that a large crowd
of friends of tho popular company
will ho nt the depot to bid the com
pany farewell.
LONDON', Oct. Vi. The morning
papers suggest that tho government
is ready to begin carrying out re
prisal air raids on Germany. . This
belief is based on tho assignment of
Lieutenant (leiicral David Henderson,
director general of military aeronau
tics, to special work and the sending
of Major ficncial ". S. Ilrunckcr,
director of air organization for the
army, to a command abroad.

In the recent contest staged by the
Maxwell Motor company in a na
tionwide gasoline economy test, over
forty Maxwell owners on the coast
were awarded liberty bonds ranging
from .$."() to 200 as a reward for
their efforts in establishing some
new high marks in gasoline economy.
In San Hcrnnrdino several Max
well owners received $200 liberty
bonds, one owner making J(J.f miles
to a single gallon of gasoline, to
gether with twelve other entranst
who made a total average of !(!).?
miles to the gallon. The highest mile
age recorded was made in Atlanta,
(la., where one owner made 5J.lt
miles. Out of 2000 competitors the
grand average' was 22.7 miles to the
gallon, and is considered remarkable
in view of the fact that no special
adjustments were permissible and
each owner was compelled to drive
his own car.
Preparations are being nuido this
afternoon by V. II. Gore, chairman
of the county liberty bond campaign,
in conference with a number of bus
iness men, to launch an aggressive
liberty loan j 'solicitation campaign
next Monday.
The purpose of tho drive will lc
made to obtain enough subscriptions
to the second liberty hum to cover
Jackson county's allotment of the
five billion dollar issue for the na
tion. Oregon's share will be $24,000,
00(1, nnd while Jackson county's al
lotment has not yet been announced,
it will he in the neighborhood of
$2.ri(l,(IOO.
Mr. Gore, with the aid of his local
advisers, will appoint tho personnel
of his committee Saturday afterno n.
and sub-committees will then be up
pointed for all the towns and rural
communities in the county.
Public meetings will bo held and
no opportunity will be lost bv those
in charge of the drive and their ni.lsl
to solicit every one to purchase a
liberty loan bond.
Thn first public meeting will be held
next Tuesday night in Medford, with
Judge John II. Stevenson and W. S.
IJ'Hen of Portland as speakers. No
bonds will be sold and no collection
will be taken at this meeting.
The same speakers will address
meetings as follows in other purts of
the county: Central Point, Tuesday,

Beautiful 1918fMaxwell
Now On Exhibition
Without altering the world champion motor, the
famous perfected clutch and transmission or the
mighty axles, the Maxwell builders have produced
a new wonder car, far superior in construction
and in appearance to anything yet turned out by
the Maxwell factories we have this new and
beautiful car come and see it.
IfflrannimAmn
The car Is larger and roomier, for one thing the wheel
base lias been Increased six inches.
It Is also a stronger and more rigid machine for the
road.
The frame is now six Inches Instead of three inches deep.
And the. body rests directly on this powerful frame in
stead of on brackets extending from the sides, as in
the past.
Do you know what that means?
It means this: The firmness with which the wheels grip
the road and the steadiness of the car at high speed
give you a sense of security such as you have been
able to enjoy before only in cars shackled with a bat
tery of shock absorbers.
This New Car is 50 Pounds
ter
There's n marvel of engineering for you, friends!
The car Is made bigger and stronger and yct'acti'ally
lighter.
This means greater case and comfort on the road.
Lighfc
More than that it means greater economy." .
And the Maxwell before was the most economical 5
passenger car in the world.
Compensating underslung rear springs the last word
in spring suspension mark this wonderful Maxwell
of 1918.
They mean greater comfort greater economy, by less
ening wear and tear on the car.
Maxwell Now Has the Style of
the Costliest Cars
The new Maxwell Is a car of great beauty.
It lias a sloped windshield nnd rakish lines never before
produced in any car costing less than $1200.
Its good looks now equal Its proved mechanical effi
ciency. The new upholstery is richer and gives a new comfort.
Inside and out the new 1918 Maxwell is a perfected car.
We're proud to sell It.
You'll be proud to own one.
