.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

should be used only when It Is cook
ed before freezing.
Cut meats and fruits rather small
for easier cutting and serving.

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

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. A rancher In Guerrero wrote the
