Dr. Robert Smith
Joins Staff at
State University
Corvallis The scientist
who sparked the development
of Mctrecal, a weight control
ubstance, has joined the Ore
gon State university staff in
the department of food sci
ence and technology.
The new objective of Dr.
Robert h. Smith Is to make
OSU and Oregon "the center
of the search for the free en
terprise solution to the world
food problems."
Smith accepted a position
on the OSU staff because he
had decided It was "time to
retire" from his job as new
product director for Mead
Johnson and company and to
spend the rest of his life try
ing out ideas for new loud
products and developments.
He was drawn to Oregon,
he said, because of Its di
versified food production and
processing resources; Its lo
cation on the ocean, which
represents food potential in
cluding so-called "trash" fish;
and the forest industry, with
Its energy-rich liquid wastes
and perhaps the wood wastes
themselves if given the right
"touch."
Smith is an "idea man"
with ambitions to develop
ideas Into commercial use, Dr.
Harold W. Schultz, head of
the department of food sci
ence and technology, pointed
out.
Some of Smith's ideas hold
promise for development and
for benefits to the state, na
tion, and the world, he added
Smith envisions a "complex
of food speciality companies"
located in Corvallis and the
slate that would work on new
products. He is Investigating
marketing and management
possibilities for launching his
ideas.
Mctrecal is an example of
what an idea and work will
do. Smith said. He made the
initial formulations and man
ufacturing and marketing
evaluations that produced
Mctrecal with $70,000,000
sales in one year.
A related product that
Smith helped develop is find
ing wide use by athletic
teams. It Is "Niitramcnt," an
easily-digested nutrient that

Changes in Teaching Process In Transitional Stage in Area
By EARL H. ADAMS
Mail Tribune City Editor
(Sixth in a Series)
As the curricula in ele
mentary and secondary
schools change, so must
the method of instruction
and presentation of subject
matter.
Such changes have been
made in valley schools dur
ing the past few years, and
as the educational program
changes, more changes will
necessarily follow.
E. R. James, superinten
dent of Phoenix schools,
said he believed "changes
in the teaching process are
in a transitional stage
now."
Among changes in the
teaching process in this
area are the addition in
some high schools of a
reader aide program, and
increased and expanded use
of visual aids, both from
the county curriculum ma
terials center and by indi
vidual districts.
Bender Aide Program.
The reader aide program
has been especially help
ful in English composition
programs jn valley high
schools. Tlie program pro
vides an opportunity for
the regular instructional
staff to expand the compo
sition program for English
students since composition
work is read and Judged by
a select group of lay per
sons. The increased composi
tion work has been received
favorably by Medford High
students who have contin
ued to college. They have
reported to school officials
that they feel better pre
pared to cope with much
of the classwork at col
lege. Another change in the
teaching process is the ad
dition of language labora
tories in many of the high
schools and some of the
junior high schools.
These laboratories have
proved their value because
of the increased importance
of the spoken language. In
the labs, students may hear
themselves speak the lang
uage and receive individual
instruction on the accepted
pronunciation as well as
listening to recordings from
language authorities.
Increased Offerings
Along with the addition
of language laboratories
has been an increased num
ber of offerings in foreign
languages. More courses
are offered in a particular
language - in some cases
four years of onc-and more
foreign languages have
been added to the curricula.
More visiual aid equip
ment is being used more ex
tensively, not only on the
high school level, but also
in the elementary and Jun
ior highs. This equipment
includes tape recordings,
sound motion picture pro
jectors, slide projectors,
and many other items.
Elliott Dcckcn, assistant
superintendent of Medford
public schools, said one in
teresting utilization of vis
ual aid equipment is use of
an overhead projector in
mathematics classes.
The instructor has been
able to utilize "this device
in holding the attention and
interest while developing a
topic or problem in ways
that students found particu
larly helpful," he noted.
Provides Funds
The National Defense Ed
ucation Act provides funds
for school districts in the
fields of mathematics, sci
ence and foreign languages.
These funds have helped
Co-Chairmen of James
Campaign Are Listed
George Loflin, chairman for
Ralph A. James for County
Judge, has announced that
Elga Abbott and Ben Fulton
will act as co-chairmen for
the Butte Falls district.
C. W. Timmons and W. H.
Lewis will serve as co-chairmen
in the Ashland district.
Wilbur Martin will be one
of the co-chairmen for Gold
Hill.
Scott Hamilton and Harry
Musson are co-chairmen In
the Central Point district.
many Jackson county dis
tricts provide additional vis
ual aid equipment for these
subject areas.
A major outlet for vis
ual aid equipment to all
Jackson county districts is
the county curriculum ma
terials center in the court
house. The center, which
developed extensively dur
ing the past few years un
der the leadership of Jim
McDonald, who is now in
Eugene, provides visual
aids to districts which oth
erwise could not economi
cally afford to purchase
them.
Along with the increased
use of visual . aids, and
changes in the teaching
process, is the increased
use of school facilities by
students during off-school
hours. This is most notable,
perhaps, in science, a sub
ject in which individual
research is being more en
couraged. Opportunities Provided
Ashland, P h o e n I x and
Medford High schools pro
vide opportunities for sci
ence students to use labora
tories in the evenings or
Saturdays, and Medford has
established a Saturday
morning chemistry project
program.
"This has enabled stu
dents with definite interest
in chemistry to come in on
Saturday mornings for
three hours and to work
on special projects with the
assistance of a well-qualified
instructor. The students
have been able to work in
tensively in certain areas
in which they have a defi
nite interest," Becken point
ed out.
James noted that more
"science equipment is being
used than ever before. This
is encouraged, and should
be expanded."
Some schools have organ
ized other Saturday classes,
generally on a volunteer
basis for the student, and
in many districts summers
are utilized by offering en
richment classes. Such en
richment classes might in
clude creative writing, pub
lic speaking, speed writing
and similar courses.
Perhaps the most impor
tant offering a student may
have is the use of the school
library, whether elemen
tary, junior high or senior
high. Libraries in many dis
tricts have expanded con
siderably during the past
few years.
Dr. Leonard B. Mayfield,
superintendent of Medford
public schools, believes the
school, and it is around
center of activity in the
school, and if it is around
this , philosophy that the
Medford school library pro
gram has been developed.
Changes in the teaching
process and in expansion of
visual aid use have been
made a few at a time since
about 1958, but the effect
they have on students is
noticeable.
Students Learning More
Dr. Mayfield told Med
ford district teachers earli
er this school year that
"students in every grade
are learning far more to
day than at any time in
the past. . . . Today we are
not teaching students what
lo think but rather how
to think.
"Never before in the his
tory of civilization has so
much change taken place
in such a short time," Dr.
Mayfield said.
. "New concepts of teach
ing, learning, space explora
tion, new technology and
their uses have changed us
from the strictly subject
oriented group-centered
type of instruction which
typified so. many school
rooms of yesterday. Today
we arc on the threshold of
a ' new kind of world in
comparison to that we have
known," he said.

ELECTRIC
APPLIANCES
Here's what Mrs. Clifford Brumbcloc of Grants Pass says about electric living . . .
Electricity not only helps us live better,
it helps us save money, too!"
"We rely on electricity to help us whenever we can. I do a
lot of sewing and make nearly all the clothes for our two
daughters. And my huslwnd is seemingly always building
some improvement for our home in his workshop. We find
that electric appliances are a big hel even in the garden.
For the many ways we use our electric service, we feel it's
our biggest value."
Thousands of other Pacific Power & Light customers, like
Mrs. Rrumlieloe and her family, live licttcr Ixx'ause they
make generous and effective use of nwxlern electric service.
