Josephine Groups
Discuss Budget
At Area Meetings
Grants Pass Several school
districts in the Josephine coun
ty area are calling special
meetings to discuss the defeat
ed county school budget, and
what can be done about it, as
well as a board order to can
cel bus services.
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.
In order to discuss what can
be done about the county unit
budget problem, 70 to 125 per
sons, including school patrons
and others from (lie commu
nities of Jerome Prairie. 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.
Kindergarten to Be
Discussed at Event
An open meeting, at which
the Junior Service league
kindergarten for hard of hear
ing children will be discussed,
will be held at the Rogue Val
ley Country club Mav 10 at
run p.m.
This year's progress and the
current status of the kinder
garten will be surveyed, and
suggestions for future im
provements are to be received.
This is the annual report
meeting attended by the mem
bership of the league, mem
bers of the board of directors
of the kindergarten, the chil
dren now enrolled as pupils,
their parents, and their teach
er, Mrs. Norman ,'ahn. The
public is invited.
Appraisers Meet
Ends in Salem
Salem -l IT - A northwest
conference of residential ap
praisers which attracted 100
persons fruni Oregon, Wash
ington. Northern California
and British Columbia ended
here Saturday.
Friday several top apprais
ers said that a current fuss in
Marion county over n new re
appraisal program of proper
ty for purposes of taxation is
not solely a local problem,
but rather a nationwide furor.
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.
