SIEDFOTiD MAIL TRIBUNE,' MEDTOftP. OKEflOy. TUESDAY, ArfiFST 1. 1022 PXOE FTTH A RAISING SCHOQ STANDARDS L ' PLEA YE An appeal for a higher standard or Intelligence, a higher standard of phys ical fltnpss and a charge to the Amer ican people of the responsibility which rests with them in respect to develop ing these things, was delivered by A. N. Farmer when he addressed the chamber, of commerce forum luncheon at the Hotel Medford this noon. Mr. Farmer quoted statsticB derived (rpw army investigation of men exam ined for military service during the world., war and many of the figures quoted were astounding. He stated Wat out of 1,700,000 men examined during the war the average .Intelli gence was equal to that of a boy of 13. (it. "this number of men many were ffotn the best homes in America and had received college educations. He also stated that one-third of the men ektunined were physically unfit, i. It the American nation Ib to maintain Hi Ideals and to preserve its prestige the standard of intelligence and physi cal condition must be raised, stated the Shedker. . . ' ' - Education of Children ' The children of the nation must be educated and given attention. It Is true that the American nation has al ready done much in this direction but It has merely made a good start. In ttie opinion of tho speaker much Is yet to $e-done; Nothing can be done by they government 88 a whole to eraai Cgtk' Illiteracy and Physical deficien cies'. It' rests with the' community, the small unit. . : i?he great Influences in the develop ment of the race are the home, the church and the school. The-speaker did -not dwell upon the two' former Institutions but said a few words re-i gardlng the latter and that that every community has as good schools as it deserves. A community which has poor Schools Is populated with citizens either unwilling or not ., Intelligent enough to provide good ones. .'.that the standards must be raised In tirder to preserve the ideals of Washington and Lincoln -was one of the. most important statements made by the speaker. -, . , . ' tl order to raise the standard of In telligence and physical well- being of the Ballon the fatherless and-motherless -children, many of whom become liabilities to the nation and to society in general, should be cured for, trained in vocations and schooled. 'The speaker who is working in the Interest of the home for orphans to be pstahiuhpd bv . the Brotherhood of American Yeomen explained the plan of the home. ' ' Plan Is Outlined It will not be a conventional type of orphanage of a large building with hundreds of homeless children under one roof receiving no. personal atten tion, but will be made up of a number of units each housing 10 or 15 children and each under the supervision of a person who understands and has a natural adaption for children. There will be a school building and a high school building and each child will be giyen the equivalent of a high school education under the best instructors obtainable In the country. A church where Protestant children will be edu cated as Protestants and Catholic chil dren as Catholics will be Included In the equipment of the community as wall as stores, farm buildings, farm equipment and vocational training shops. Fifteen hundred or eighteen hundred children will be cared for and educated with personal:- attention which will bring out the best In them and make them fit for future citizen ship. The school community will ap proach a total population of 2000. The children will work In the shops and on the farm and will be taught the ad versities of life and the necessity to overcome obstacles In order to reach the goal of success. After explaining the combined home and institute for the training of future citizens Mr. Farmer Btated that he had enjoyed his visit here as had Mrs.' Far mer and that they had enjoyed the renewal of their friendship with Mr. and Mrs. Getchell. Delroy Getchell presided and in mak ing his speech of -appreciation for the address given by Air. Farmer praised the latter by Baying that he who works in the interest of little children may look destiny In the eye and defy it. It is rumored that the home to be established by the Yeomen may'be sit uated in, the district between the Cali fornia line and the Columbia or within radius of 600 miles from Chicago. The selection of a location will likely depend greatly upon the spirit with which the people of the different com munities receive the proposition, ac cording to report. '..'..
