DEFEAT COTTAGE G.
Tho, local basketball team defeated
the Cottage Grovo high school basket
ball tijnm In a fast game at the Nat.
last night by a score or 3S-16. For the
first few minutes the gnme was fairly
vren and at the end of the first half
the BCoTe was 20-13. . The visitors
scored' only 3 points la the last half.
Modford made numerous substitu
tions while the visitors played tho
sfttne five men all the way through.
Hoferoe Wolff,-coach of athletics at
the Grants Pass high school, ruled too
strictly to suit the fans but did not
slow the game down appreciably. Very
little scrambling around after the ball
wf done as Wolff blew the whistle
und tossed tho ball up every time two
men paused on the floor and began
struggling, even for a second, for pos
session of the ball. The game was
clean and free from the usual amount
of rough stuff.
Medford's Btarswere Watson, Hudy
Singler and Boughman who scored 13,
10 and 8 points respectively. None of
the Modford men played the whole
game.
The; contest was witnessed by a
large crowd which left the Nat. feeling
optimlBtic as to the future of Mcdford
basketball this season. Several fans
were heard to say that they wore well
pleased with the individual members
of the team but that more teamwork
was necessary If Medford had her eye
on the state championship this year.

A committee of Bcvcn women from
thu College Women's club spent t
morning last week visiting thu Med
ford high school. The purpose of this
visit was to inspect tho crowded con
dition ot tho present high srhoul
building. Tho committee urges thul
the parents of all studt-nts here visit
the high school nnu Juoge for them
selves.
As everyone knows- tho building
was erected in 11108 to accommodate
about 250 pupils. Thu school has
grown until the present enrollment Is
434, nearly twieo tho number sptx-1.
fled. The basement has been eon
verted into class rooms. On the
south are the kltehen, sewing room,
and fflrls dressing and rvst room. The
Bein room and kltehen hove out
sldo windows as well as radiators so
the. floors can bo heated. Tho dress
Inn room Is heated only by the .over.
heud furnaee pipes, has artificial
IlKht all day. and no outside ventlln
tlon. Here Is tho phyalctil director's
desk and ehnlr, her class room for
II) months out of a year. The physi
cal training work Itself is done aerons
the street at tho Natatorlum. The
north half of thu basement is used
for manual tralninK. agriculture, nnd
boys dressing room. Said dressing
room is nuthing less than the fur
nace room. The boys need not bo
cold, even thouKh there Is neither
outside ventilation nor light. Tho
manual truilng desks arc near the
north basement windows but tho
machinery is in tho center hall where
tho only light is electricity. Hero
again is only overhead heat with
no outHido ventilation. Tho largest
class Is 28 boys. They aro entirely
too crowded. Tho ngriculturo room
has some windows for ventilation, but
when the manunl training machinery
Is In operation classes cannot recite. 1
Here again nearly 30 try to recite
where there is room for less thnn 10.
The boys' gymnasium work Is con
ducted across the street at tho Natat
orlum. Basements do not convert
easily Into ideal class rooms.
Tho assembly room on the first
floor is very crowded. During tho
assembly hour, 2 pupils sit In every
seat. ,' Tho balcony is filled ' with
undorclnssmen.- Hero again is lack
of air and light for so many. . Win
dows on the east give tho only light,
and even on bright days the pupils
under the' balcony study by electric
light. Every Beat in this room Is somo
pupil's -desk, but when that pupil
goes to another class '-to recite somo
one else must sit here. Even with
every nvailablo space 'In the whole
building equipped with desks thero
are not seats enough. The library is
a very small room with table space
for about a dozen students to do ref
erence work nt one time. ' A cloak
room adjoining this - has been con
verted Into racks to file books. .
Upstairs tho chemistry and physics
study room Is - airy v nough, but.
Chemistry labratory Is Tar too small
Across the hall one room alono boasts
of conducting mechanical drawing,
natural science nnd biology classes.
Mechanical drawing tables fill most
of tho space while the experiments
are conducted In n cloak room where
two or three of the 2S pupils of this
department can work -at one time.
With every room full of seats there
aro not enough desks to assign one
separately to each pupil. " So thore
are shelves in the sewing room for
these extra pupils to place their, books
at tho close, of the session. ' Each
teacher has a desk but Ibftcn no
room of her own. This makes per
sonal and consultation work very
difficult. : Even the principal has
three teachors' desks crowded into
his little office. ,
' Within two weeks B0 pupils grad
uate from the grades whllo no stu
dents will leave tho high school until
June. What to do with-these new-
freshmen becomes a very serious
question. To hire a building means
puylng out rent money. Tho rent of
the Natatorlum' for gymnasium pur
poses is already a thousand dollars
a year. -While tho electric light bill
alone is no mean-amount. - The de
mand lor a now high school building
is imperative.- To convert the pres
ent building into a-1 Junior high by
remodeling at moderate expense will
relieve tho crowded condition at both
Washington and Lincoln , grade
schools .-
This district Is permitted to issue
bonds up to $2110.000. Tho average
Indebtedness of other schools In dis
tricts of the first clnss over tho state
Is f 121.000. whllo that, of Modford Is
Only 94,000 nnd will soon bo les
sened. It would thus bo possiblS to
Issue Additional bonds at present for
about 9160,000.. This amount would
construct a good sized high school
building and earo for all, or nearly
all tho departments. Tho above men
tloncd amount can bo cared for with
the Interest within 20 years by an ad
ditlonnl levy of only 2V4 mills. The
present levy for bonds and Intwrest Is
more thnn 3 mills, nnd this will be
discontinued at the end of six
seven years when tho present bond
ed debt will be cleared up. This
would mean that the extra levy would
be . needed for only this short time.
Tho school board can call an elec
tion, but tho bond must be voted by
tho taxpayers. And fair minded, pro.
gresslve patrons will hnve to see that
tho necessary money l nt hand to
erect a . now high school building.
