"Pop" also made it plain, as In his Mall Tribune interview, that no change whatever In Pacific highway routing was contemplat ed for five or ten years yet and then the Commission had only in mind the straightening of the short stretch between I'enlrul Point and the Owen Oregon mill in order to do away with the turns and curves between the two points. Mr. Cates, however, willingly agreed, that if any contemplated change ever came hi-fi hp the state highway commission 1 nthe Pacific highway route in this territory, he would hold the mutter back until the Medford New Highway associ ation here could pluce its argu ments and views fully before the com mission t or the route change advocated by the commission, the pet it inns for which have 300 or more signatures. . , . -- fl AT LAKE OF WOODS NOW EXCELLENT P.lak bass are plentiful In the Jjiko of the Woods and Medford sportsmen are urged to drive to the lake if they would enjoy good fishing, according to A, J.

Sixth St. Super Service Station. - '1 - i ; The Record annual summer ncs slon of the Medford illy schools, consisting of summer work for six weeks in hich school and ele mentary grade subjects, has been authorized by the school board and will begin June 4 and close July 1.1, according to an announce ment today by city School Super intendent K. j. llcdrick. The sessions will be held in the Junior High school building from 8 a. m. until noon each Jay nnd will bl under the direction of Charles C. Smith, nsslsteit by .Miss Esther Van Camp, who was in charge, of the school Inst year. In speaking of last year's ses sion, Mr. Jlcdiick said this after noon that a uttended and Unit over 150 uio expected for this year. Special work in penman ship nnd coaching In grades, first and second, are added features of the lie's session. "The fee charged by the board" Bald Mr. llcdrick. "In no way covers the cost of instruction, hut there Is a distinct return to the district financially through the work of the summer school, due to the fact that It saves the cost of "repeating" many pupils In the grades through the regular year, because of tho fact that opportunity is afforded by tho summer work to make up defic lences and nvoid repetition of a grade." , For elementnry grade pupils, the ebjeet is to afford un oppor tunity to do make-up work In one or two subjects, In grades 1 to S, which they may have failed lo complete during the regular year, and necessary to enable them to go on with the next higher grade in September. If the demand is sufficient, special work In penmanship will be of fered. in the same manner high school students may have nn opportu nity to do inuke-up Avurk In one or two subjects selected from the following fields: Kngllsh, history, civics, mathematics, science, and Latin. Students of extra good ability and preparation, as chosen by past grades, hut slightly short on college entrance requirements, may do a semester of new work In one of the following fields: History, mathematics. Pupils . from both elementnry and high school are not encour aged to attempt the doing of woolly new work, although In rare cases it may he allowed. The primary object of summer school is tile doing of review and make up work. The time is rather too snort for Hie completion of a se mester of new work. "Work completed In summer classes Is uccepted us regular class work In the Medford sys tem. :. i There will ho very little for mal clnss work;, the school will bo organized mainly on the Indi vidual method plan and every ef fort will ho mado to give each pupil tho special coaching and attention he most needs. Teach ers from the regular staff will be used. Only those who ore sympa thetic, versatile and most capable for this particular work will he selected. A charge of tT.iio- for a six weeks' course, payable the first day of the session, June 4th, will be made for each pupil, to help pay the cost of Instruction. . All pupils who desire to avail themselves of summer work must register wilh the city school su perintendent, E. H. llcdrick, Med ford building, or Director Charles O. Smith at tho high school for the courses they wish to take be fore Saturday evening, June 2.
