SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday. March IS. 1952 Merlin Schools' Flying Students Start Trip Here ' A "flying schoolhouse" leaves here today for San Francisco just to prove there's something more to learning than old-fashioned readin', writin.. and "rithmetic. Fifteen students from the eighth grade of a little country school in Merlin, which boasts a population of 300, two general stores and a postoffice, will take what they call a "field trip" . aboard a United Air Lines plane, .From 11 to 13 For nine boys and six girls ranging in ages from 11 to 13 it'll be . the climax of a special 'class project on air transporta tion studied during the winter school term. School Principal Royal A. Ivo ry and Mrs. George R. Tassm mother of one of the students, 'will accompany the group. (' Ivory, who also teaches the eighth grade, developed the avia tion course five years ago to cov er every phase of the air indus- 'try, in eluding research, oral re ; ports, term papers and finally the "field trip." But heretofore s they merely had toured airports ; or taken short flights around Oregon. This year they decided on a - three-day flight to San Francisco and raised the money them selves, sponsoring Sunday chick en dinners in the schoolhouse, making candy, showing weekly .movies and splitting logs for - f enceposts. - .They even accumulated an ex tra $20 in a classroom "kitty" by collecting a penny for any grammatical errors and a nickel for pupils caught chewing gum.
