'AS HI SHE
( fcugene Experts Favor Holly
St. Over P. and E., But De
clare Either One Will Be
Satisfactory Junior High
Urged As Essential in Final
Construction Program.
Printed below is the full report of
the high school experts from the
University of Oregon, H. D. Douglas
and H. I. Ralney. recently made ut
the request of the City plunnlng
commission:
To the City Planning commission
of the city of Med ford and whom
"ijlt may concern, we wish to submit
respectfully the following report:
We have considered our task to
consist of two somewhat distinct,
though closely related, pieces of
work, namely:
1, The proposal of an adequate
building program within the finan
cial possibilities of the district.
2. The valuation of possible sites
for a new high school building to
be built within the near future.
For that reason our report is di
vided Into two corresponding di
visions. A Building Survey und Program
for the Med fowl Schools,
In the consideration and develop
ment of a safe school building pro
grnm, It is necessary to consider
1. The organization of the school
system which the buildings are in
tended to house.
2. "-The present number of pupils
in the school and in the various
grades, and the reasonable expec
tancy of increase in the period cover
ed by the building program.
v3. The subjects taught In the
schools and. -tho ...students -activities
which must be housed.
4. - The present distribution of
school pupils in the district and the
probable directions of future growth
of population.
5. The condition and capacity of
present housing facilities.
G. The present and future ability
of the district to finance a- building
program.
We have undertaken to study
carefully each of these factors and
many other minor ones.
First, the organization of the
school system which the buildings
are intended to house.
It 4s the belief of your committee
that the most ' effective organiza
tion for a public school system is
what is known as the 6-3-3 plan,
which Includes a six years elemen
tary school, a three year Junior high
school, and a three year senior high
school. The very large majority of
cities embarking on a building pro
gram are adopting this plan of or
ganisation. Eugene, Albany, Mc
Mmnville, Salem, and several other
first clnss districts in Oregon have
already adopted the plan and Eu
gene has within the last year built
two, and Salem, one new Junior
high school building. Los Angeles
has had the plan for years as has
Berkeley and the 6-3-3 organization
has been adopted In perhaps a hun
dred other California cities. Detroit,
iUicago, Cincinnati, Rochester. St.
ouis, and all but a very few of
the larger cities where building pro
grama have been entered upon re
cently, have employed the plan. We
believe that the people of Med ford
do not wish to commit themselves
to the old 8-4 plan for a period of.
20 or 30 years by building on that
basis. I
Second, the schpol population and
facilities for. housing the same. I
Below, In table I, Is shown the ap
proximate dally attendance In each
of the Medford school buildings and
for purposes of comparison there ij
given the standard capacity and the,
maximum capacity of each of these
buildings. By standard capacity it
meant the number of pupils who
may be housed In the building wlth-j
out exceeding the reasonable limits
for each room and per teacher. By
maximum capacity Is meant the
maximum number of pupils who may,
be seated In the building with safety
I without regard to any" standard of
teaching efficiency.

Lady in Distress
Gets Broken Arm
LOS ANGELES, April 22.
The sight of a woman motor-
4 1st struggling hopelessly with a
'car that woujd not start arous-
ed the chivalrous soul of Clif-
ford Whitlow as he walked
along a boulevard here last
night and he stepped forward
at once to crank the car. The fr
engine started under his vig-
orous twirling, but the kickback
of the crank broke his arm.
4 "Now isn't that too bad,"
sympathized the motorist as she
drove away.
"It certainly is," agreed Whit-
low as he walked to the re-
celving hospital and had the
broken bone set.
PARIS, April 22. (By Associated
Press. ) King Alfonso of Spain is
quoted by the French writers and
brothers, Jerome and Jeane Tharaud,
as declaring to them in an Interview
that the tranquil conditions in Spain
are proof that his country is satisfied
with the government of the military
directory. Only a handful of profes
sional politicians are opposed to it, he
asserts.
A question which he asserts is more
Important than that of parliamentary
government in Spain is whether such
parliamentary government' will be
capable of defending itself against
that conception' of life which the
soviet government is seeking to im
pose forcibly upon the world.
"Have you in your travels in Spain
noticed that we are living in a state
of siege under military oppression?"
he asked the writers.
!Thq foreign papers I see declare
coir directory shoots and Imprisons
people and spreads a reign of terror
everywhere. Have you received such
an Impression?
"Nothing has changed in our cus
tomary life and for my part I know
no country where the police are less
interfering than here. You can stand
In the middle of the road to talk with
friends without a policeman telling
you to move on. You can drink what
you Jlke in the cafes after midnight,
which I defy you to do in New York
or London those countries of lib
erty. In Madrid you can sing your
head off until five In the morning if
that amuses you. There is only one
thing changed since the directory, you
can walk about with money in your
pockets without fear of being attack
ed. There are no more strikes; our
factories are at work and our employ
ers no longer see their workmen ar
rive mornings with revolver in hand
to assassinate them or to impose'thelr
own will. You must admit that is
something.
"Oh, yes," tho king added ironically
"It has to be pahl for. General Prlmo
DeRivcra (head of the military direc
tory) has put us outside the constitu
tion and that Is evidently grave."
The king remarked that there were
certainly fewer communists In Spain
than In France, "but perhaps our cli
mate makes ours moro virulent."
The king spoke of the bolshevik
danger saying Italy was the first
country to., grasp the fact that parlia
mentarism was incapable of resisting
the effort the soviet government was
making to impose its will upon the
world by force. Spain had followed
suit.
"Who knows," he asked, "if other
nations will not be obliged to aban
don legality for a time? I see the
outline of the sword forming almost
everywhere."

PARIS, April 22. (By Associated
Press.) Nino hours of debate fea
tured by bit tor personal attacks on
Joseph Caillaux, lately returned from
exile and now minister of finance,
preceded the vote in the chamber of
deputies last night on the policy of
the new cabinet. At the conclusion
of tho verbal fireworks, Premier
Painleve and his colleagues were vot
ed confidence 304 to 218.
The tactics of the opposition in at
tacking the inclusion of Caillaux in
the ministry are believed to have
assured the victory of the government
as both the radicals and the socialists
were dissatisfied with M. Palnleve's
nnnounced determination of retaining
the French embassy at the Vatican.
M. Blum, the socialist leader, said
that when he entered the chamber
session he had his doubts, but when
he heard the attacks directed at Cail
laux these doubts were removed.
"We congratulate M. Painleve for
having summoned Caillaux" M. Blum
continued, "und since he is attacked
for having dono so, we give him our
votes." '
So the socialists' 104 votea wont
solidly for the government.
M. Caillaux will appear before the
chamber's financial committee Friday
to review the financial situation and
probably to give some Indication as to
store the situation of the treasury,
the nature of his first efforts to re

of the short term notes falling due

Failure of Governor Walter M.

nounced here yesterday by R. J.

lnstatcment of Dorris. If he refuses,

Governor Loses Out
SALEM, Ore., April 22. A heated
j argument took place at a meeting of
tho state board of control today over
komp and the contract will be altered
accordingly.
The contractor, It appears, Is In
sured with the Aetna Casualty and
Surety company nnd Karl Lively,, a
representative of that firm, partici
pated In the discussion. It was claim
ed that the policy furnished by tho
company provides for practically the
same benefits as provided by the state
department.
W. A. Marshall, of the accident
commission, sided with tho governor
in the argument which became tropi
cal at times. '
Tho governor averred thnt the in
surance companies "hold a knife nt
the heart of state compensation nnd
will kill It." Kay declared that the
governor had dono more thnn anyone
else to kill It by urging withdrawal of
stato aid for the department. Both
the governor and Kay said they were
in favor of state compensation, but
tho governor said he favored compul
sory Insurance under the state com
mission while Kay said ho opposed it.
Kozer's vote was on the basis of a
precedent set when tho same contrac
tor built a wing on tho eastern Ore
gon insano hospital at Pendleton. The
contract at that time provided for
state compensation, but this provision
was not enforced by the state, and
It Is said the contractor signed a sim
ilar contract for the training school
In the supposition that again It would
not be enforced.
Tho action taken today does not
establish a policy with respect to fu
ture contracts. This is to be taken up
later.
