PXGE FOURTEEN MEDFORD M5IL TRIBTJXE, MEDFORD. OREGON, THURSDAY. -TUNE 27, 1935. GRADUATION AGES Marshfield Students Aver age Older Medford and Oregon City Closest to State Average Is Shown A common criticism of the public school system In this country Is that It allows students to be rushed through their course of training graduating at a tender age, and be fore they are equipped, either men tally or socially, to meet the vicissi tudes of lite, said E. H. Hcdrlck, sup erintendent of Medford schools, today. In order to get a more accurate picture of the homogenous grouping, and the ages and qualifications of graduation of students In Oregon, 6upt. Hcdrlclt sent a questionnaire to all of the larger high schools In the state. Only six schools sent answers definite enough to be compiled Into a table of graduating ages. The tabulation shows that students graduating from the Marshfield high school are the oldest of the six schools studied. The students there get their diplomas at the average age of 18 ynars, 3 months and 20 days, as com pared to a Btate average of 18 years, 1 month and 4!4 days. The median high school pupil of Medford Is 18 years, 3 months and 5 days old when he graduates. The following chart shows the age of the students In the six schools studied, and also In cludes the Medford ages. Marshfield .. 18 yrs. 3 mos. 30 days Medford 18 yrs. 3 mos. 6 days Ore. City.... 18 yra. 3 mos. 3 days Antoria ........ 18 yrs. 0 mos. 15 days Auhland 18 yrs. 0 mos. 1 days Corral Us...... 17 yra. 11 mos.lO'j daysj O. Pass 17 yrs. 11 mos. 24 days AH Cities .... 18 yrs. 1 mo, 4'a days The figures show that there Is little difference In tho median age of grad uates from city to city in nil about three and a half months. Medford and Oregon City range closest to the av erages for the state. The youngest June graduate found In any of of these cities was 16 years, fl months, and 10 days, and was graduated from Corvallls. The oldest graduate In any of these cities was 23 years, 10 months and 1 day. Med ford's youngest June graduate waa 16 yearn, 10 months and 4 days. Hcdrlck stated that It has never been tho policy of the Medford schools to rush a student through. Neither has It been the policy to al low the student to rush himself through, unless the pupil's advisor belluvcd the student would be. bene fited by such an action. The students In Medford are group ed In their work Into three classes thofio capable of doing, and absorb ing, work at a fast rate; those who are normal tn their work; and those who require more time to assimilate knowledge. For those In the faster classes, a wider range of work Is gU rm, and for the slower ones, less work, but longer drilling. Is employ ed to give a richer knowledge than If all were ground out through the same form. The sounding of other schools on the ago question Is only one of many similar projects carried on by the Medford srhonls, all sent out, as flupt. Hedrlck describes It, "to see Just where we are drifting."

B., uni versally acclaimed the greatest living painter of the head of Christ, la In Medford to decorat the Sacred Heart Catholic church on South Oakdale, a program which will require five weeka of work. Said the famous artist yes terday: "It will be one of my great- eat works. The church Itself is beau tiful, with a simplicity of line which will lend Itself admirably to the painting I Intend for It." This Indeed Is a great compliment for the Medford church, coming aa It does from an artist who has doco rated such churches as the Mater Dolorosa in New Orleans, the tit. Prancla Seminary In Cincinnati, St. Augustine's In Covington, Ky., St. Elizabeth's In Pasadena, St. Marv's In Loa Angelea. and many others throughout the country, and aome of whose work now hangs In the Vati can, In Home. "I am one of only two living arUsts to whom Christ has appeared," Bald the artist. The Incident happened In a Missouri hotel when he waa a boy. Braaach claims, and haa been the In spiration for many of his most noted works. He ha been acclaimed by auch dignitaries of the church as the Pope In Rome, the Moat Rev. Amleto Olovannl Clcognam, D. D., apostolic delegate, Washington, D. C and from bishops and priests In this country and In Europe. Born In Germany, of Flemlah par entage, the artist Is related to the great Haufman, from whom he pos sibly Inherits his talents. Among the lay people who have written him con gratulations on his work, are Presi dent and Mrs. Roosevelt, Alfred E. , Smith, Cecil De-MIUe. Jay Wellington, poet and art director, John Stephen MoOroarty, famous poet laureate of ! California, the late Prince Christian I of Schleawlg-Holsteln, Windsor, Knft- I land, and the former Kaiser of Oct- ! ninny, who sent Braasch a signed photograph of himself. , Asked about the Intended work In : the Socred Heart church here, the : artist's eyes glowed as he described a la'ge painting of the Sacred llnrt to be placed over the altar In the sanctuary of the church, the lower walla to be laid in with panels done In mosaic, and adorning angels on each side of and around tha figure of the Sacred Heart. He stated that the entire church Is to be decorared at a later dat. He waa profuse In his praise, not only of the Sacred Heart church, but also of the city of Medford. "It la one of the most beautiful little cities I have visited." he said, and added that the cool shade trees so libemlly sprinkled over the city were a feature that particularly appealed to him. He comes to Medford from Reno, where he has Just completed tVcomt ing the cathedral there. Another re cent work was decorating the huge cathedral In Denver. The thing that he most looks forward to Is his con templated ahrlne to Christ, to be built at San Fernando, Cal., which will be decorated Inside with the largest panorama of the life of Christ ever attempted, 150 feet long, with the figures Urease. The model is already completed for ; this great project, and he expects to get started In the near future.

(7Pj The Chicago fc Northwestern Railway Co. announced today the directors had decided to file petition to reor ganl7 under section 77 of the fed eral bankruptcy law. The announcement explained that negotiations with the bondholders' committee, inaugurated some weeks ago In the hope of reaching an agree ment on a plan of voluntary read justment or the capital structure, would be continued. The rond hopes a plan of reorganiz ation may be accomplished within H0 days. The filing of the petition In the meantime, it was expected, will Inaugurate Jurisdictional step lxk Ing to the assistance of the I. C. C. trip will be made by way of Adel. This writer climbs to the hurricane deck of the car and starts SOUTH. Mac objects, asserting that the road to Adel takes off to the north oi Lakeview. This writer, not stubborn or bull-headed, but Just filled wltn calm asauiance. Informs him he's full of prunes, and we head out to the south. Travel five miles looking for roao leading off to Adel. Not so good Stop man walking on road and ask him If tMs Is the way to Adel. He hesitates a moment uith aligtuiy vacant look In his eye. then answers "Oh, sure; Just keep on going." We keep on going, and In time arrive at the California border, ana still no road to Adel. So we stop at New Pine Creek, and make Inquirv. "Hell!" we're Informed, "you're an right, except thot you're heading square the wrong way." You'll have, to go back to Lake view." ISN'T that a fine way to make a start? Boy, but It would be a pleasure to wring the neck of that bum back there who told us we were all right and going good. Mac's a good scout, though never '60s to provide shallow lakes. While these same troops were sta tioned here they brought In hogs to provide their own bacon, and when they were ordered , away they left the hogs behind. The porkers re verted to the wild, and for a genera tion the titles around these shallow lakes have been full of them. They're known as the wild hogs of Warner, and live on the tuie roots and such other provender as comes their way. Because of their tule root diet their flesh has a muddy flavor, so they're not es teemed for food. Dick Shepherd Is authority for tne statement that IX you drop a duck i more than a hundred yards away from you these hogs will beat you to lt nine times out of ten. Evi dently they like a little variety in their tule root diet. TP through Plush, which has about V- the darnde-st name In Oregon. The name arose, one ia Informed, back In the earlier days when an Indian, playing poker with three cowboys, got an ace full on kings and bet his shirt, but found a royal flush out against him. "Plush !" he Is reported to have ejaculated his enunciation being a bit thick, apparently. "Him hot dam stuff!" The na me st tick , and the town has been known as Plush ever since. Everyone who hears it wants to know how come, and the natives have worn their vocal chords down ; thin explaining. But more of this tomorrow it's 1 getting too long. Burglars Catch Selves.
