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."

Local Catholic Church
Theodore Braaach, R. A. 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.

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
