A meeting at Jerome Prairie was held Thursday night, a meeting in Cave Junction Fri day evening, and later meet ings at Murphy and Merlin are all set for general discus sion on why the budget was voted down lust Monday, and what the taxpayers want to do about it.

Fruit- dale, and Murphy areas, as sembled in the Jerome Prairie school gymnasium Thursday night. Advocate Petition Many advocated signing a petition to resubmit the iden tical budget, without any change, that was defeated. Another group favored a budget with nearly the same figures as the one which the school district is currently op erating. Reports indicate that about SI, 4 12, 000 was mentioned for the current year's budget. A proposal to operate "with in the 6 per cent limitation," as threatened by the school board Tuesday night in spe cial session, was declared doomed lo failure due to the limitation of funds. Patrons suggested that rep resentatives of different conv munition meet with the dis incl board and attempt to reach a compromise budget They maintained that the fig ures in the defeated budget were too high.

Various Shops Are Toured by Board Members, Citizens One of the fundamental re quirements of a school pro gram is to provide the educa tion and skills for person to enter society as an intelli gent, useful citizen. Many students plan to con tinue their studies after high school in some institution of higher education. But others plan to enter community life upon leaving high school. Recognizing this, the Med ford school district offers programs to meet both needs. Medford students have con sistently ranked high academ ically, a fact brought out by the number who continue their studies in college. For young men who do not plan college work, and for some of them who do, the Medford district offers a shop program in which they may learn some of the basic skills need ed in a trade. The program includes archi tectual drawing, mechanical drawing, wood shop, general metal shop, machine shop and an auto motive mechanics shop. Last week, school board members and interested lay citizens toured the district's vocational shop facilities and heard resumes by the four in structors who teach the sub jects. They saw future carpenters and cabinet makers at work, students making tools on met al lathes, young men working with sheet metal, the projects of metal craft students, future auto mechanics, and saw molt en aluminium poured into a casting form in the only alum inum foundry in southern Ore gon. Leland (Cap) Mentzer, who has taught wood shop at Med ford High school for 40 years without missing a day because of illness, reviewed the wood shop program, noting that the first essential in learning carpentry is safety. There are 55 boys enrolled in the two first year wood shop classes, and 14 In the carpentry, or the three-hour day trade class, Mentzer said. The boys start with relatively simple projects, he said, and progress during the course to more individual projects, and, in the second year work (the carpentry class) learn the ba sic principals of general car pentry. Mentzer also teaches archi tectual drawing, in which stu dents design a floor plan for a structure, and provide an architect's sketch of what the completed project will be. One student, who Mentzer had in classes a few years ago, designed a house, and upon graduation from high school revised it to fit his needs and built it, Mentzer said. Students enrolling In the metal shop courses, which are taught by Dunne Richardson, first receive a one-hour ex ploratory class in whicii the student learns the basic knowledge of working with metal. There are 45 students in the first year general metal course in two classes. In the second year metal shop, or two-hour advanced course, 15 students are enroll ed. Included in the general metal shop are facilities for metal crafts, sheet metal work, bench metal projects and an aluminum foundry. Richardson also teaches me chanical drawing, a course which starts was basic forms and progresses through com plex drawings of pipe fittings and similar items. There are 24 students in each of the two classes conducted in mechani cal drawing. Sixty students are enrolled in the first year, one -hour course in machine shop under Don Hanning. There are 12 in the advanced class, or the day trade class. Students develop a funda mental knowledge of oper ating lathes, turning raw ma terial into tools such as die wrenches, vises, clamps, hack saws, and hammers. The fin ished product is the result of considerable precision work. The importance of the auto motive mechanics pro gram was outlined by Instructor Lloyd Lyda. who noted the increase in the number of motor vehicles on the high wys. and the anticipated in creisc. The exploratory course, or first year, has 118 students in six classes. This is the first year for the auto motive mechanics course. Equipment In the shops, some of which is owned by the district, probably h a value of about $.10,000. How ever, the title of some of the equipment is held by the state, and much of Uir ma chine shop equipment was purchased front war avrplui m at a considerable savings to the district. District personnel renovat ed and reconditioned the sur plus machines to get them in working order. Equipment in the wood shop, which has been accumu lating over several years, is owned by the district, as is machinery used in the auto motive mechanics courses. Some equipment in the latter department has been donated by lociil concerns for major companies they represent. Not all students in the shop courses, however, plan to re main out of school after grad uating from high school. Some college - bound students take shop courses because of their interest in the subject or be cause it is an interesting hobby. Some sti dents plan to continue their education in institutions such as Oregon Technical Institute in Klam ath Falls. Equipment in two of the shops - the wood shop and automotive mechanics shop -are used by adult groups as well as students. Use of such facilities bv adults is in the direction of greater utilization of school facilities in out - of - school hours, a tendency toward which may school districts in the country are moving. A related training class for carpenter apprentices meets in the wood shop two nights a week, financed by the state division of vocational educa tion and tuition fees. The only cost to the district is pro vision of facilities. The in structor is paid from state funds and tuition fees. An auto mechanics voca tional class is being conduct ed evenings for adults who desire to learn the trade. This program, like the carpenter apprentice program, is com pletely financed by the slate division of vocational educa tion and tuition changes. Skill ed local auto mechanics serve as instructors, who are paid by the state and through tui tion fees. The adult classes are or ganized and directed by Lind say Vinsel, director of adult education for Medford public schools. The adult education pro gram this year has 93 classes in trade extension, related trades, self improvement, homemaking, and commercial courses. The program involves 1.457 adults, at no cost to the school district. Costs for the program are borne by the state division of voealional education and tuti tion charges. The district does furnish facilities, and the time and attention of the adult education director.
