which has special classes for the
education of retarded children
A special class at Talent, con
ducted by Kathenne Baalman,
has 14 youngsters from 8 to 12
years of age enrolled. In Phoe
jiix, a special class taught by
Karl Hayes, supervisor of Jack
son county special classes, has

Tests Slated
Dr. Mason D. McQuiston. Sa
lem, consultant for the educa
tion of the mentally retarded

classes at Phoenix and Talent,
Nov. 16 and 17. i
Children are generally re
ferred to the special classes by
regular classroom teachers, who
can recognize children display
ing severe school achievement
problems. These potential spec
ial students are given individual
tests to determine mental ability,
social and personality traits, edu
cational evaluation, and a physi
cal examination.
Definition Given
A child is termed mentally re
tarded when diagnosed as having
low intelligence to such a degree
that he is unable to profit under
ordinary conditions in the reg
ular public school classroom.
They are slow learning but edu
catable students capable of con
tributing to society when prop
erly trained to do so.
The goal of the educational
program is to make such slow
learning children socially ade
quate and competent to provide
themselves with a livelihood.

County Schools Use Two Plans To Teach
Elementary Youngsters Art of Reading
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
Buffalo, Wyo. (U.R) Denis
Harriet, 15, was wounded in the
back by a bullet from the same
.22 caliber rifle that had acci
dentally discharged a slug into
his leg while he was hunting
with it three years ago. At that
time he sold the rifle to a neigh
bor. The latter's son was hunt
ing with the gun recently when
a bullet from it ricocheted and
hit Denis.

Two approaches to teaching
elementary school pupils, to
read are utilized in Jackson
county. They are context read
ing, or sight recognition, and
phonic or sound drill, both of
which are included in teaching
suggestions from county and
state educational offices.
The phonic approach is used
not only in reading, but also in
other subjects which require
reading. The phonic approach is
devised to build words from
sounds or analyze words from
sounds, and has been followed
for several years in many local
schools. Vowell sounds, diph
thongs and consonant sounds are
included in the phonic approach.
Use Flash Cards
Another combination to the
approach in teaching reading is
the use of flash cards, on which
are printed words or short
phrases, which the pupil reads
when flashed momentarily.
Textbooks used in primary
grades, where the first and most
important training in reading
occurs, are attractive and inter
esting to pupils whose main in
terests are home life, home and
school, and other boys and girls
their own age. The books have
been adopted for basic reading
in most Oregon primary grades.
The textbood reading program
develops from use of a reading
readiness text to primers and to
more difficult basic readers.
There are parallel or supple
mentary readers to keep pupils
interested.
Work in Groups
A program is arranged so pu
pils work in different reading
groups. Pupils who may not be
ready for primer work do read
ing readiness work, those who
may be ready to read are in
primer groups, and pupils ad
vanced enough are in a basic
reading group. .Groups progress
and advance to other reading
texts within the grade during
the year.
Included in the program are
film strips which project an
image on a large screen.- The
film contains stories combining
sight reading and phonic drill.
The stories are on individual
frames, and each frame is a
complete different picture or
group of words. Use of the film
strip enhances the reading pro
gram for the child and serves as
a valuable teaching aid.
Several elementary school
teachers in Jackson county be
lieve the program nieets reading
needs of primary pupils, and
keeps reading interesting. The
phonic program alone, educators
indicate, would be uninteresting
for the pupil and would slow the
reading program, while covering
only 86 per cent of the English
language.
Griffin Creek School Vote
Tuesday on New Classrooms
- Voters . of the Griffin Creek
school district will vote on au
thorization of a bond issue to
construct three new classrooms
at an election Tuesday, Nov. 15,
according to members of the
school board. Poll hours will be
2 to 8 p.m. The proposed bond
issue totals $45,000.
The Griffin Creek district has
expanded so rapidly, with many
new homes and subdivisions,
during the past few years that
school housing facilities are now
entirely inadequate, according
to Mrs. Myrna Frink, principal.
Present enrollment is 272, a
gain of 50 students during the
past year. Ten years ago it was
a four-teacher school with about
80 students and it is now a
13-teacher school, she stated.
More Expected
The many new homes now
under construction or planned
for the area give evidence that
the enrollment may be expected
to increase even more during the
next few years, she pointed out.
The school board has been
faced with two alternatives,
James Walker, chairman, stated,
either to build additional rooms,
or send the seventh and eighth
grade students to the Medford
schools, provided they are able
to accomodate them. At an un
official vote held last spring, the
latter proposal was rejected and
the board is now asking 'per
mission to provide the necessery
facilities. Classes are now being
held in the gymnasium and the
cafeteria, he stated.
Plans call for construction of
three rooms just south of the
rooms built two years ago, but
running east and west.
Members of the school board
include Walker, Sam Harbison,
Mrs. Roy Sanders, Chester
Guches and Randolph Hugdahl.

Tryouts for Play
Tryouts for the three-act mys

all interested in the trjouts to

Gold Hill Residents
Will Get X-Rays
On Monday Evening
Monday evening has been
designated Gold Hill time at the
chest x-ray clinic at Sacred
Heart hospital, according to the
x-ray committee.
Gold Hill is the first of the
outlying communities to make
arrangements for a special time
in which residents of the area
may come in a body for x-rays
to check on possible unknown
cases of tuberculosis, lung can
cer and other chest conditions.
The Gold Hill Health unit is
sponsoring the project and Mrs.
Paul Molloy is in charge.
Transportation Furnished
Residents of the area are asked
to gather at the post office in
Gold Hill at 7 p.m. to arrange
for transportation. X-raying is
scheduled to begin at the hos
pital at 7:30 p.m. A nominal
charge will be made to cover
costs. The films are read by Dr.
Earl Lawson, radiologist, and
the subject is notified of results
within a week or ten days. Any
pathology found is reported to
the private physician as well as
the patient.
"I wish to commend the peo
ple of Gold Hill for their in
itiative in arranging this pro
ject to protect the health of their
community," Dr. A. E. Merkel.
county health officer, stated. "It
is hoped other districts will
make similar arrangement by
leaving their names at the county
health office."
Christmas seal funds are being
used to purchase x-ray machines
for both the Sacred Heart and
Community hospitals for use by
patients and the general public.
It is a program of the Jackson

Defection of Many
Unknown Diabetics
Goal of Campaign
Detection of the million un
known diabetics in the United
States is the goal of the Ameri
can Diabetes association during
National Diabetes Week, Nov.
13 through 19.
Best estimates show that at
least 1,000,000 Americans have
diabetes an don't know it, ac
cording to the Oregon State
Medical society. Early discovery
and medical treatment can re
sult in years of healthful living
for these people. - -
Tests Inexpensive
Simple, inexpensive tests for
the detection of diabetes have
been devised. People are ei?
couraged to visit their personal
physician or a testing center jo
that any undiagnosed cases may
oe Drougnt to light before they
have a chance to become serious.
Symptoms of a diabetic con
dition are excessive thirst,
loss of weight, intense itching.
changes in vision, excessive hun
ger, easy tiring, pain in the ex-
tremeties, and slow healing of
cuts and bruises. All symptoms
may not be present in a mild '
case.
Anyone may become a diabetic
but the disease is found more
often in people in whose family
mere are already known dia
betics; those over forty; the
overweight; and in women more
often than men.
