Teachers of Retarded Girls
Plan Meeting At Crater High
Tablets
By R. E. NEALON
Mail Tribune Table Rock Correspondent
A large number of ladies, Including some halt dozen
visitors from other valley points, attended the Wed
nesday meeting of the local ladies club at the home of
Mrs. J. S. Richardson.
In the Harpers Weekly of April 27. 1861, is a picture
of President Lincoln, by Brady, with the following:
"We publish herewith a photograph Just taken espe
cially for this paper which is the first accurate por
trait that has been published since he began to grow
his beard." This is one of the best pictures we have
ever seen of Lincoln, so clear and bright, showing
every detail, and makes one think that our present
newspaper photographers have nothing on Brady.
Mr. and Mrs. Ray Wyatt; of Central Point, former
operators of the Table Rock store, were calling on
friends here Wednesday. Ray was checking up on the
pheasant population.
Charley Hoover And The Lettuce
Last Sunday we journeyed, with many others, to the
Eagle Point grange hall to help Mr. and Mrs. C. C.
Hoover celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. We
have known the Hoovers for a long time, but can't say
they look any older than they did 50 years ago. Charley's
optimism has kept them always working and looking
for something better. Hence, time has flown without
leaving too many wrinkles. ; Charley told me he likens
himself to the old cow who- was always trying to get
Into the cabbage patch, so she could get her fill of
cabbage, but when she finally got into the patch, she
had lost her teeth and couldn't chew the cabbage. In
Charley's case, in later years he got into the lettuce,
with which ho is feeding the birds, giving trees by the
thousands to school children in many areas to be net
out and to furnish shade and beauty to the landscape
and be a comfort and joy to those who dwell hero after
Charley has gone on. We join with many others in
wishing the Hoovers many more happy anniversaries.
Some dozen neighbor families held a surprise house
warming party at the home of Mrs. Violet Hamilton and
her son Ernest, Friday night. A game that required a
good memory and quick thinking caused a lot of mer
riment. Later refreshments were served and visitors
went through the modern house, inspecting the new
gadgets and push button operations.
To Ihe teenagers that are gelling started in the cig
arette habit we offer this from Earl Hodgcrs, the great
trial lawyer, who, in trying to clear a young man who
had brutally slain his sweetheart, gave these reasons
why he should not be hanged. "From the age of 13, he
was addicted to the use of cigarettes. Vou have the
word of the physician of the juvenile court that the
smoking of cigareilcs by a boy whose brain is still
growing, had an effect of deterioration and traumatic
disturbance." In plain words, the brain docs not de
velop as it should. Of course, If you should shoot your
girl friend, cigarettes might ;sevc you from hanging.
Old Tims Stories Next Week '
Most of the readers of the Tablets like old time stories,
but since It is hard to find anyone older than we are to
tell or corroborate ours, we are In a fix. However, we
have some old letter and newspaper clippings which
we will use in next Friday's Tablets, which we may
dedicute to old timers. 1

Central Point - A new re
vised salary schedule for the
teachers of District 6-C
schools was approved by the

school board Tuesday, raising
the basic pay from $4,300 to
$4,500.
Also upproved was a ooosi
in the district superintend
ent's salary to $12,500 a year.
In other action at the
school board meeting, resigna
tions by George Johns and
James Holloway were accept
ed, Juhns for the past four
years has been principal of
the Central Point Junior High
school. Prior to that he was
principal at the Jewctt pri
mary. He taught in the school
district five years before be
coming principal. His resigna
tion will become effective
June 1, 10U3, at which time
he plans to enter the field of
overseas depedendent schools.
Holloway, elementary
teacher at Gold Hill, request
ed release from his contract
as he plans to return lo col
lege for further study.
Charles Flint, the only prin
cipal at this time up for re
appointment, was upproved
bv the board and will con
tinuc in that capacity at Sams
Valley for another year.
Also approved by the
school board was a remodel
ing project on the balcony at
Crater, which will be done by
Fred Kueste at the sum of
$1,015. I
The Sams Valley school
site committee, Lester James
and Dalton Straus, submitted
sketches of three sites, and
explained their investigations
in that area. Approval of two
of the prospective sites was
given by the county sanitari
an, who disqualified the third
because of inadequate water
supply and sewer disposal.
It was agreed that members
of the school board, together
with Superintendent Charles
A. Meyer, will meet in Sams
Valley with the site commit
tee Feb. 22 and examine
these sites.
Norman Carothcrs, director
of the Crater music depart
ment, was given permission to

ing in the preparation of the
Portland Rose festival, to do
his 'fair share' by working.

step by step program is need
ed to explain the right way oi
doing things to them.
"Nobody seems to have
time for them in the over
crowded classrooms of public
or parochial schools. Being
slow to learn, they are criti
cized and made to cry by un
thinking children. They find
themselves unable to keep up
with the rest of the class.
"Even in their own simple
way, when all their actions
are misunderstood, they still
possess capabilities. They can
learn. Maybe they will never
hold a supervisory position,
but they can be taught realis
tic and practical skills. They
can even become homcmakcrs
and wage earners."
Harmes said he had found
the students in the retarded
class to be a very receptive
and appreciative group, ex
pressing the opinion that the
girls could become self suffi
cient and socially competent
through a home economics
program geared to their indi
vidual needs.
"Reward should be favored
over punishment," he said.
"Reward strengthens the re
warded behavior. Punishment
may not lead to unlearning
but it may inhibit the be
havior." There are 15 students In
the class at Crater, 10 boys
and five girls. The boys are
engaged in a study of job
tolerance, job training and job
safely.
Harmes is a qualified teach
er in the field of retarded
children. While attending
graduate school in Philadel
phia, he taught part time the
potential delinquents in the
slum areas of that city.
Later, he was employed by
the Los Angeles County
School district for one year
as teacher for the emotionally
disturbed children, interme
diate age, at La Puente, Calif.
He also taught the neurologi
cal handicapped and mildly
brain injured class at the
same school for two years.
Last year he taught the
mentally retarded at Mesa,
Calif. Before going into the
field of teaching the mentally
retarded, he was employed as
sixth grade teacher.
Similar classes as the one at
j Crater are now being taught
at Portland, Salem, Spring
field, Eugene and Pendleton.
