r SIEDFOTiD MAIL TRIBUNE, JfEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, APRIL 2P, 19,12. FACE SEVEN .GISTRATION FOR JUNIOR HIGH OPEN IN ENSUING WEEK Important Work Requires Time Parents Invited to Visit School and Aid in Selection of Courses Registration of puptk In Junior high school for next year will be In "full awing next week. Registration &r new couraea la done In each achool ' by the principal and certain teach ers designated aa counselors. The work la regarded as very Important and considerable time is devoted to It. Parents are Invited to visit the school, consult the principal relative to courses selected by or for the pu pil, and In no case la a registration regarded as complete until It haa the parents' approval. The following bul letin relative to grup classification of pupils was sent out to all prin cipals, counselors and teachera. . Groups Selected. In order to provide a system where by a better adjustment of achool work can be made for all pupils, the Medford schools have for several years used the plan of forming three groups In each subject, with three different standards of grading. Group 2 la the main group. It Is tho one where most of the pupils be long. It offers the regular Oregon State course of study as given In other first-class districts of the state. Puplla In this group are supposed to complete one grade per year. Group 1 la a maximum work group. vIt not only covers the course of study n a subject In from one-fourth to ne-slxth less time than group 3. but haa extra work Included in the course In each subject. This group Is designed to care for a few pupils who are especially strong physically and mentally, and exceptionally able In the subject at hand. It la for those pupils who are well along in years for their grade and who feel a need of doing extra work and hur rying through. Many Misunderstand. There Is often a misunderstanding as to the purpose of this group and a mistaken desire on the part of some students to crowd into It when no good reason exists for It. Simply be cause a pupil Is bright In a subject Is no reason for pushing him ahead of his proper schedule. To have a pupil enter high school or college too young puts him at a disadvantage. He Is too young to profit most by the Instruction given, and he asso ciates at a disadvantage with the other students who are older than he. To push a pupil through school ahead of his years is Just as bad and rperhaps worse than to have him re 1 tarded a little. v- Group 3 Is designed to fit those ' pupils In a subject who find It dif ficult. Sometimes a pupil may be quite strong In most subjects, but finds that one or two subjects are especially difficult for him. The plan of group 8 Is to give the pupils from one-sixth to one-fourth more time to complete the subject and at the same time lighten the work to be done by eliminating certain parts of It. City Has Few Failures. The use of the group plan In ad Justing work to fit pupils has cut the number of failures in the schools about one-half. The average for the atate at large Is above 8 per cent while In Medford !t lb 3.8 per cent. Pupils are not held In the same group In all subjects. As already pointed out, the grouping In each subject Is made Independently of every other subject, depending eolely upon the pupil's ability In that sub ject. If desired, a pupil can be In v a group 1 In some subject, In group it in a second, and group 8 In a third. 'Furthermore, he may be transferred at any time from one group to anv other as found best. In many of the schools of the state the old plan of causing a pupil to repeat a whole grnde. If he happens to fall In one or two subjects, Is still In vogue. In Medford. promotion Is made by Individual subjects and no pupil Is caused to repeat a whole grade because he falls In one or more subjects. If the pupil repeats at all It is only in that subject or portion of the subject whero" the failure was. Success Margin High. In schools the size of Medfords. which are attended by hundreds of pupils of widely diversified Interest and abilities. It la Impossible, of course, to have a perfect adjustment of the course of study to each pupil, but we can approximate It quite closely. Just how closely can per haps be Judged by the pupils them selves as well as anyone. On April 15th a questionnaire vote was taken at the Junior high school on a number of point affecting the work and organization. -Among other hlnga, the question was asked: "In general, do you find the work of the Junior high school too easy, too hard, or about right?" Four pupils thought it too easy. 17 too hard, while 638 voted It about right. At the same time. 605 out of 570 pupils voted that they preferred to work under a flex ible group system, such as Medford haa. than under an ungrouped sys tem. It Is the aim of the schools to keep the work so shaped that It flu the needs of the pupils In so far as pos lble. Even then, some maladjust ments will occur occasionally and any parent who feels that a pupil la not getting what he should out of his course or courses should not hesitate to call the superintendent or the principal of the building.

RESEARCH REVEALS ALL-BRAN RICH IN HEALTH-ELEMENTS Helps Correct Constipation with "Bulk" and Vitamin B ; Also Has Iron Recent scientific research shows that Kellogg's All-Bran contains two things needed to overcome tern norary and recurring constipation. It has "bulk" to exercise the intes tines, and Vitamin B to tone the intestinal tract. These two important food-elements promote regular habits, and help do awa,y with the headaches, loss of appetite and energy, so often the result of constipation. The "bulk" In All-Bran is mild in action much like that of let tuce. Inside the body, it forms a soft mass, which gently clears the intestines of wastes. Special cook ing processes make All-Bran finer, softer, more palatable. Isn't this pleasant "cereal way" far more healthful than using pills and drugs so often habit-forming? Just eat two tablespoonfuls of Kellogg's daily enough for most types of constipation. If your in testinal trouble is not relieved this way, see your doctor. Besides, All-Bran brings your body twice as much blood-building iron as an equal amount by weight of beef liver. Equally tasty as a cereal with milk or cream, or used in cooking Recipes on the red-and-green pack age. Sold by all grocers. Made bj Kellogg in Battle Creek.

E HUNT HALTED BY OF Vastly Interesting Finds Re cently Stir Archaeologists Pyramid Near Puebla May Yield Riches MEXICO CITY (AP) Discovery of the valuable collection of gold orna ments and Jewels In the Mlxtecan tomb at Monte Alban, State of Oax aca. has brought a renaissance of ar chaeological Interest in Mexico But the renaissance, unfortunately, finds the archaeological department without funds to puruse the vastly Interesting leads developed within re cent weeks. Hundreds of thousands of dollars and many years of painstaking work are needed to carry out complete ex cavation at Monte Alban. where pre historic Indians levelled off and re modeled whole mountain tops with their curious edifices. The government has only a few thousand pesos to continue that work, and none at alt to follow up finds made since In Guerrero and Mlchoa can, states which are virtually un known as archaeological storehouses. The Interest stirred by the Monte Alban dlscovlrles In January of Pro fessor Alfonso Ca.io brought to light at least three other Important finds within a short time. At Tacupa, Mlchoacan, an aban doned city was descovered and yield ed valuable gold relics and carved monuments which are as much a puz zle as the graven relics of Monte Al ban.
