For watermelons over 12 tons of them were sold in Medford Sat urday. , That's what a check of tales at the local stores this morn ing showed. All day long the watermelons were in demand. There were few whoppers that didn't load one or more into the family car along with tho other groceries Satur day night. And one store was even giving a melon away with each order of several dollars. Many of the melons were from the local ciop, which is just be ginning to come onto the market. Others were shipped here from California. In additiun to those sold at the stores wore tho ones bought from vegetable and fruit growers. Cantuloupes were not much In demand, the survey jjJiows. .Only a few were sold in comparison to the watermelons disposed of.

Good To Woman Who Lost Purse No one will ever cunvinco Mrs. Harry K. Lane of Illuck fot. Ida., that Meilford isn't a paradise and that thoro a Paradise and that there aren't antt-ls hovering over the pear trees of Rogue Kiver valley. Arriving in the citv in search of health, and work for herself and her two hoys, Fri day evening, she had the tem porary ill fortune to loso her pulse with their last ,$56, transportation from Los An geles and Ulackfoot, and a numher of priied keepsakes, on tho road from Medford to Jacksonville, on S a t u r day morning. She advertised Just one ad in tho Mall Tribune, Sun day morning. This office was notified that tho purse was found by J. E. Clemens, man ager of the Westerlund Or chards. Calling at the Clem ens home tht morning, tho Idaho woman and her two sons not only received their lo.-tt possessions but a job apiece for tho remainder of tho summer, and now un less somothinpr unforseen hap pens : Medford has pained three permanent residents and boosters. SCHOOLS OPEN NEXT WEEK (Continued from Pago Ono.) ganization, made necessary by the crowded situation there. Classes will begin at 8:15 a. m. instead of 9 as formerly. AU teachers will be on hand at 8 a. m. Pupils who do not have a class reciting at 8:13 and can show by their school grades that the period irom S:l5 to 9 is not needed for study may secure permission from the prin cipal to report at 9 a. ni., but as Superintendent Hedrick explained, "We have to schedule classes the best way we can under the circum stances, and no promises can bo made in advance that an y pupil re quests for 9 reporting can be hon ored. Advance requests in this con nection will be useless. We are going to do the best we can for all. That is all 1 can promise at tins time.' Instruction in art work will be ottered in junior high and nigh school to a limited number of pupils this year. Work In free hand drawing, designing, and modeling arc planned. Miss Louise Hollcn back of Glendale, California, a graduate of the University of Ore gon Art school, and a teacher of several years experience wilt have charge of the work in both schools, as well as supervision of the work in the lower grades. The Atypical Child Another new phase of work this year is that with atypical children under Miss Louise Basford in the Washington school, but open to any children in the city who need it. By tho term "atypical" children "subnormal" is not meant. An atypical child, educationally speak ing, may have just as much intel ligence perhaps more than a typi cal or normal child, but for some reason or other ho does not learn readily by the same means which the average child uses and when neglected develops into a so called non-reader, non-speller, etc. It has boon found that by putting such children with a specialist for a few weeks, wo can do much toward straightening out their kinks and getting them on the right track. This work was begun in Medford tho past summer and with such success that tho board had decided to offer a continuation of it. Parents having children who need tho work should call the city school superintendent, phone 811, or Arias Louise Basford, phone 708-X for conference. Pupils who will be six years of age before six weeks after the opening of school, or October Mth. are accepted for entrance without question; younger pupils who will be six during the first semester may be accepted providing they show by test a mental ago develop ment of G1 yearn, parents of such children who desire to enter them should call tho city superintendent or Mrs. George B. Canode. phone 1067-L, who has charge of testim? such pupils, between now and Au gust iilst. Boundaries Defined The boundary lines of the wards served by the four elementary schools are. with few exceptions the same as last year and are as follows: The high school and junior high school each Kcrves the whole city for the grades each represents.

Following regt.-s- 1 t ratio ii, where it can lie shown that I individual parents or pupils will bo better accommodated by atten- j dance at some other school, flu , effort will be made to effect trans- i fcrs. Superintendent Hedrick point- ed out that while the board and j he were desirous of meeting the t wishes of pn rents in so far as they 1 could, that in a crowded situation such as Medford has,"' and with school buildings not exactly loeat- j ed in centers of population, it is i not always possibly to plnce every ' cniui as they would liko to be able i to do. j According to the board's order,: tuition for non-resident children Is fixed tho same as last year at $U.OO per month for elementary , nnd junior high school pupils, pay-' able in advance. For high school pupils. It is $10.00 per month. High school pupils living In a school district which does not sup port a high school have, their tui tion paid by the county. Non-resident parents who are in arrears on tuition from last year, must square the account before their children will be accepted Into the Medford schools for this year.
