CAMP PLANS The Progress of School : Education in America The Kiwanls club had an their guests .Monday Lieutenants II. W. Smith and K. D. Dufer of the 148th field artillery, who are here In com pany with Major Tinker working wlih Oapt. Ralph CowrIU, selecting artillery ranee and making- some other ar rangements regarding the coming en campment of the Oreson National guard. Major Baker being In Grants Pass, TJeut. Hmlth apoko in behalf of the officers. He complimented Capt. Cowgill very highly and said more credit Is due him thnn any one man excepting possibly Adj. Gen. George White, for locating the encampment here. He said they were highly, pleas ed with the location of the camp, the prospects for securing ample range for artillery practice, and with the ftplendid cooperation they meet with on every hand, and predicted a suc cessful encampment. He said all the troop trnlns bringing th two regi ments of the 82nd Infantry, the 143th artillery, company of engineers, hos pital corps, in all 2500 men. and MO officers, would arrive here by 10 a. in. June II, and that Camp Jackson would be a reality In a few hours' time. The lieutenant said they would use the 75 millimeter guns as well as the smaller ones and would fire aharpncll and high explosive shells. E. F. Carlton, field representative of the V. of O.' and a member of the Kugene Klwanlnnn, told of the work he Is doing to get the parents to put a higher class of literature in their homes, which is one of the greatest needs to character building of their children and one other work to help the boys and girls secure the proper training and later to nsslst In select ing their occupation for life's work. Jack Horton, grazing assistant in the forestry service here, told of their work, referred to the Crater lake for est na the back pasture of the Rogue River valley, comprising 6000 acres, and wild It was beneficial to the gen eral public and stockmen because it furnished grazing for 13,600 head of cattle and 10.000 sheep, that en me from tho Applegate and Rogue River valleys and to tho government be cause if there was no grazing the grass would hecomo dry and furnish a much greater fire hazard. He paid tho proposition is scientifically fig ured so there Is plenty of feed for the stock and still not over pastured and 1(111 the grass. Mr. Horton closed by Raying the re port that the grazing is detrimental to the fame animals Is a mistake, because the pasturing is done in the summer nnd not In the fall when the game ani mals need feed. Olenn Kubrick called attention to tho De Molay stato meeting here Mny 8 and 9 and of tho methods to secure funds. Vernon Vawter totd of the proposi tion of showing the pictures of Crater lake In winter, through the efforts of George Hunt and a representative j or one or mo picture concerns who is in Medford, at the meeting of the lend ing moving picture men In Tjos Ange les thla week and the hope of secur ing oflme company to take further pic tures of the Ink and valley. Attention wns called to the Invltn tlon of. the Klamath Kails Klwanlnns to visit them April 23, but owing to tho conflicting date of April 21st, when the club will go to Roseburg SO or 26 strong, tho Invitation was not ac cepted. C. E. Gates received the attendance prise of five gallons of Aristo oil given by the Union Oil company. Guests of the club besides those al ready mentioned wero T. 11. Macklln, Bales manager ofthe Southern Oregon Gnu company, I. C. Stewart of tho Owen-Oregon Lumher company. A. F. MlntherwolH of the Union Oil com pany of Portland and Cant. Ralph Cowbill. Glen Fabrlck presided In the ab sence of President Harr. In 1880 one out of every six was without schooling; In lit 20, forty years ..later, only ope in seventeen. Had our population increased as rap iUJl' in ratio an our high school enroll ment, sin co 1890 it would number today nearly seven hundred million. The Increase in enrollment of our common schools during the ten year period ending 1920 was more than twenty per cent. It is gratifying to note from the foregoing that we are regarding edu cation as a vital factor. This Is the day of educated boys and girls. More and more will they on maturity be drawn Into the ranks of business. Commercial and mercantile life la fast following the professions in its call for organized knowledge. That we are appreciative of the wonderful part our educational system plays In the progress of the country the grow ing attendance in all our institutions attests; a growth stimulated not merely by increased population hut a growth Indicating a recognition of the value of schooling. With the progress of the nation the schools, too, have advanced. Their scope has been enlarged, tho -tech-- nlque Improved, their physical plants standardized, and the quality of equipment bettered. The cost of edu cation is a relative term and will ud- mlt of comparison ohly in terms of service rendered. The rapid strides of our education are comparable only to the advance in our Inventions, and this aJs an in ventive age in which America ranks in prominence. During the last fifty years there have been fifty outstand ing inventions. These represent the greater factors In our present-day civilization. Education has been keep ing step with this progress. It has seen the induction or spread of the Junior high and consolidated schools; tho Industrial and vocational schools; the continuation and Americanization schools; the development of such de partments as health, art and music; higher teacher requirements and teaching standards: increased civic pride and a higher conception of what an efficient school system means. Its reflection in the Indus trial life of the nation may be seen in the instance of a large industrial concern with 71 per cent foreign born on Its payroll twelve years ago today reversing the figures with 66 per cent native born. It is needless to say that these altered figures relate the new attitude of Industry toward edu cational standards. Our young people are the nation's crusaders and their armor la education. The country's going backward, It's slipping. There's no doubt about it. Just now Medford Is the focus point in this backward movement. Anyone who reads tho dally papers and culls the oddities In the news may have surmised that this retrospective view Is insplrted by the tendency of the world to wheel. If it isn't already plain that the country is undergoing a flaro back to the ItO's it will be on Hut urday when Medford will witness a parade of the vehicles that Inspired the famllllar ditty ending with "You'll look neat upon tho seat of a bicycle built for two." What a rage bicycling used to be In tho days before motor cars crowded the poor old horse off the highways along with most of tho pedestrians! Anyway bicycles are coming back. John Rodda, of the Cyclo Trades of America, who Is in the city to conduct the hike field day for Saturday morn ing, says: "The bicyclo really did not go far away. We will always havo bi cycles just as long as we have young sters to ride them. At any rate we can expect to see a greater number of wheels on Saturday than the oldest Inhabitant can remember seeing In al most a decade." lllcyVle dealers have arranged to further this movement nnd to show -y (Ministers of- today Just how to ride h bicyclo. A para do announced for Saturday morning will bring out a number of riders and competition will be keen for the prizes, which are us follows: Foot Specialist Visits Medford Store Br. W. C.

The flftg was presented by Mrs. R. A. Moore, regent of the chapter, In the presence of the entire school at their regular Friday assembly. Mrs. Moore was accompanied by Mrs. D'Alblnl, Mrs. Warren, and Mrs. Snedlcor the chaplain, who gave George Washington's prayer follow ing the singing of America, M After the presentation of the flag the school sang "The Star Spangled Runner" and gave the pledge of. al legiance. The spirit of altruism and loyalty of the school is very admirable as was evinced in the fact that though every one in the seventh and eighth grades took part In the contest, those who had competed and lost seemed to lose sight of that entirely when Janet was announced as the winner and Joined heart und soul In the applause. George Lowe whose essay was the one chosen for competition with the other boys of the town, though not a winner, was deserving of mention and was read by George on Monday in a program commemorating Pa triot's Day. The history work, which has been very excellent this year, is in charge of Miss Eunice Davis. UlTbOl 11 I 111 IXXt J- lOJUl U11W Vli ahww . lute Safety W. O. W. Notice. Deputy Head Consul E. P.
