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. '..'..
