Mrs. Chauncey Feirling & family Hubbard Stores Mark 74th Year Serving Valley Hubbard Brothers hardware store and Hubbard Wray com pany, farm implement dealer, are celebrating their 74th an niversary here as two of the oldest businesses in Medford. The first were started 3V4 decades ago by Fortunatus Hubbard. Since that time the firm has always been owned and operated by the Hubbard family. The stores have continued to grow with the Rogue Val ley. The founder, Fortunatis Hubbard, was a personal friend of John Deere, who established the John Deere Implement company. Both lived in Illinois then. Hub bard brothers store is the old est continuous John Deere dealer west of the Mississippi according to records of the John Deere company. It is also one of the oldest business firms in this part of the coun try. Moves To Medford Soon after establishing the implement firm, Fortunatis moved it from Jacksonville, rented a lot at Central ave. and Main sts and set up bus iness. In 1885 he purchased the present location on which there was a frame building housing a saloon and general store. First load of farm machin ery into the Rogue Valley ar rived in early 1883, accord ing to the Hubbards' records. The machinery was shipped forst to Sacramento, Calif., by John Deere, personally," and the senior Hubbard and a crew of hired men brought it from there by wagons in three trips. The first load was taken to Jacksonville and the other two to Medford, then known as Middleford. In 1933 the firm bought the building next to the pres ent store. In 1934 the two buildings were adjoined. In 1935 Hubbard Wray company which handles farm imple ments, was established, lo cated in the back part of the present store. Public Power Men Back Up R.E.A.

"Deke" Gillette This Sunday Enjoy BREAKFAST (Served anytime) at the HOTEL MEDFORD DINING ROOM CHILDREN ALWAYS WELCOME Atomic Sub Chief Says Schools Poor New York (IP) Rear Adm. Hyman G. Rickover, the engineer who supervised the development of the first atomic submarine, said Sat urday professional education in the United States is ham strung by 'the inefficiency of our public and secondary schools." In a blistering attack on the doctrine of "progressive" education, Rickover said the educational theory of John Dewey must be rejected be cause it is a proven failure." Rickover enlarged on state ments he made Friday in Washington before a house committee. "The assertion that pro gressive education prepares the child for life and that it Local Man Gets Masonic Title A number of local men were named to offices in the grand bodies of York Rite Masons of Oregon which met in Portland last week for their grand sessions and annual elections.

Education Vital He said the efficiency of a nation's educational system "has become as vital an . ele ment for national progress- perhaps even for survival as its industrial and military strength." "Our professional schools are not to blame for our chronic shortage of able professional people," .he said. "They have a clear-cut pur pose and must meet definite standards set by state licens ing requirements or by pro fessional associations. Most of them are efficient and require no more time to turn out pro fessionals than similar schools abroad." But public and secondary schools waste the student's time and "delay preparations of the student for entry upon professional study far beyond the time when his European contemporary is ready to be gin such study," he said. Real Study Delayed "The time when pupils come to grips with real study has for years been progres sively delayed. Each year the American child drops a bit further behind his contemp oraries abroad. He still can not spell his own language, when abroad, children of his own age are already deep in serious literature and are carrying one or more foreign languages, besides heavier schedules in mathematics, sciences, and history . . ." Rickover said teachers col leges are too intent on teach ing "tricks of the trade that benefit no one but professors who teach education courses." What is needed, he said, is less study devoted to methods of teaching and more to the subjects to be taught.
