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.

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

of the guard; Charles G.
Goold, Medford, was appoint

many very distinguished vis

Horse Collision
Brings Damages
Pendleton (IP) James
Nelson Kendall of Madras
filed a $10,630 damage suit in
circuit court here Friday
against a Pendleton area
ranch family in connection
with the collision of his car
and a horse Oct. 31 on High
way 30.
Named as defendants in the
complaint were C. C. Curl,
Richard Curl and his wife,
Nell.
Kendall said the accident
nrmrred four miles east of
Pendleton. He claims the
Curls, owners of property
along the highway and own
ers of the horse, were negli
gent in not confining the ani
mal, which apparently stray
ed onto the highway.

does this better than a tradi
tional education has simply
not been 'borne ! out . by ex
perience," Rickover said in
a speech prepared for deliv
ery at the inauguration of
Dr. Ernst Weber as president
of the Brooklyn" Polytechnic
institute.
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.
Many Building Codes
Said Out Of Date
Portland (IP) Nels Sev
erin, president of the National
Association of Home Builders,
told delegates at the annual
Pacific Northwest convention
of th'e NAHB meeting here
Friday that home building
codes in most American cities,
are out-of-date, obsolete, an
tiquated and have no pro
visions for new home designs
and construction.
He said some U. S. city
building codes are 30 to 40
years old. They restrict new
ideas of design and construc
tion, he said, thus handicap
ping the home builder be
cause of the cost.
