Kansas, tells of reading about a southern Oregon flood that closed eight bridges and drove hundreds from their homes. One of the bridges mentioned is given as Gold Roy bridge, as a picture in the Mail Tribune later shows. This, to we old timers is rather an imnosilion consider ing that Dr. Ray, and his brother, Col. Ray, of New York, started the wheels of progress turning back in 19U0, and took the Rogue valley from kerosene oil lamps and candles to what it is today. As one who worked with Dr. Ray's construction and ranch gangs, we feel that for a man who took the risk and did so much for the valley, we should at least let the dam and bridge bear his name. When Dr. Ray came on the scene, about all the employment there was, was on the ranches and after the fall crops were in, most of the labor force was laid off for the winter except a few on the larger ranches kept lo feed livestock. These were furnished a cabin to live in, and paid S20 per month. These jobs were few and you were lucky if you got one. Work on Dr. Ray's farms paid $1 a day, and board, construction work paid $2.25 and board. A large dining room and mess hall with a good cook and 'flunky" was maintained near what is the north end of the dam. Besides these enterprises, Dr. Ray took a keen interest in gold mining, operating the Braden mine. He was continually grub-staking would-be miners, who were to pay him back with gold nuggets. As far as we know the good doctor never got from those he grub staked a nugget big enough to wear on his watch chain. The only members of the Ray family now living in the valley, are Charles Ray and hijs sister, Mabel, who live in Medford. A letter from the Dan Mcrkers. former residents here, states that he has a position with the Howard Marks ranch, in Tracy. Calif. Sam Valley Grange Party Sams Valley Grance is having a Christmas party Saturday, Dec. 15, 7 p.m. at the Grange hall, for all Grance members, friends and neighbors. There will be a gift exchange for the children, boys to bring boy s Rift, and girls to bring a girls gift, not to exceed 50 rents. Plan to attend and enjoy the entertainment and refreshments. Santa Claus has promised to drop in for a brief visit. According tn information just received, the James Lewis family are living at Forest Grove and not at Winston, as .stated in last week's Tablets. This is not our swan song, as we are on our bark with some kind of flu and don't have enough energy to mng if we could. District 6 Teachers, Board Members Eye Improvements Orcjion Education associa-! scnting lessons; 3. more effee In other action at Tuesday tion proposals and how they may be adapted for use in District 6 schools were dis cussed at two recent meetings in the district. School board members Wil ton White and C. W. Anhorn discussed with other board members at a Tuesday night live utilization of teachers ' night's school board meeting, strengths and talents: 4. in- a report was heard from creased supervision of teach ers, especially of those with relatively little experience; 5. the use of non - professional personnel for non-professional tasks; 6. opportunities for the more extensive and effective meeting their trip with other use of mechanical and dec southern Oregon school offi cials to observe team teaching being practiced in schools in the East. Last week, District 6 school teachers from Central Point, Gold Hill and Sams Valley met at Crater High school to discuss the Oregon Education association proposals as pre sented by Osden Kellogg, leg islative chairman. Mrs. Mil dred Black, Hanby school teacher who is president of district 6 teachers association, presided at the meeting tronic aids to instruction, and 7. opportunities for more flex ible and appropriate grouping of pupils, including provision for both large group instruc tion and attention to small groups and individual specific needs. Meyer said he believes much has been gained by looking, seeing and listening. Flexible scheduling in District 6 schools is a must; he stated. He asked the teachers first to study and not try to do too much too fast. Secondly he Charles A. Meyer, superin-1 i0ld the teachers thev should tendent of district 6, who also be sent to places where new went on the eastern travel ', programs are going on to have jaunt, told teachers that the i a first hand look. Oregon program is the only program of its type in the United States. It's a combined effort of the state department, colleges, universities and local school districts, he said, lo improve classroom leaching, improve teacher education, and to study and evaluate the follow ing areas: team teaching; teacher aids; flexible sched uling; and programming and intern teaching. Meyer said at the present time it is felt and proven that about 40 per cent of the teach er's time is spent in clerical or other non - professional work. He added if a teacher is paid, four, five, six, or seven thousands a year it is ridicu lous to be paying this amount (40 per cent) for secretarial work. He hopes this problem will be considered. The superintendent said the Ford foundation has given the State of Oregon S3. 5 million dollars to be used for research in new methods of instruction. The stipulation was defi nitely made he said that new techniques and methods must be studied, researched and de veloped. According to Meyer, team leaching is not new. Some evidence of team teaching was found prior to the Civil War. New names have been given to many areas under study, he said. Meyer stressed that he ex pects many changes, and he wants the district staff and youngsters to be up-to-date to face the space age and to be qualified to meet life's chal lenge. Me said there must be open minds to now proven trends in education. He said those going on the trip east looked, listened and saw many won derful innovations in educa tion: In Lexington, Mass., the team teaching project was founded on a basic concern for progress in two major areas; 1., improving instruc tion through the discovery and demonstration of new and more promising ways of using teacher abilities; and 2., in creasing the attractiveness of teaching as a career for per sons of superior inlellcetual j and professional qualities. Specifically, the hypotheses were he said that organization would provide: 1. a hierarchy of classroom teaching posi tions, through which advance ment would be possible; 2. co operative planning by teach ers, leading to more efficient and interesting ways of pre An attempt to place in the next budget money for sum mer curriculum workshops will be made. Attempts will be made lo gradually provide more clerical help or teachers aids for teachers, he said. In all efforts, he said, the class room teacher must be in on the ground floor of planning and learning. rnminitlpp u'hirh utlnnHiH i h recent Oregon School Activi ties association meeting to con sider adding Marshfield, North Bend and Roseburg lo the southern Oregon schools athletic league. Action on the proposal was put o(f for two years, the report stated. The board was informed that future additions to the Craler stadium will include more parking area. In other business at the district 6 teachers association I meeting last week, a letter was read by the secretary, Mrs. Barbara Eatherton, Pat rick school teacher in which leachers were thanked for their attendance and help in hosting the Southern Oregon Regional A. SCO. meeting which was held this year al Crater High school. At that session some 224 educators met to hear Dr. Ned Flanders demonstrate tech niques of classroom analysis. A special thanks was express ed to Jewctt Teachers for dec orating the tables; to the Fu ture Homemakcrs for serving the banquet and to Norman Carothcrs and the Lavaliers for the music they furnished, and to Warren Holbrook for designing the program's cov- Regional News Correspondents and Their JACKSON COUNTY Applegate: Myrtlo Krouw, Provolt 246R Apples te Valley: Maude Zienler, 8E19-1333 Ashland: Kdith McCulIough 482-0714 Butte Kails.

As no new major projects will be started until the new mayor, John B. H.
