10 B FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 22, 1963 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MLDFORO. OREGON leading Curriculum Changes Planned By CP Elementary Central Point - Changes re being made in the read ing curriculum for grades four, five and six at Central Point Elementary school, ac cording to Principal jack McCoy. "The current reading pro gram in the middle grades has been enjoying reasonable success, as determined by the national reading norms," Mc Coy said, "but we feel that we can achieve greater indi vidua) student achievement in reading by changing our approach and the general con figuration of our reading pro gram. ' "In any normal middle- grade self contained class room, there is a great span of reading ability, which de mands more instruction time than can be alloted" McCoy explained. "It is needless to say that any shortening of this span will encourage greater teaching efficiency and improved individual stu dent achievement. Since read ing is the basic skill tool in any learning endeavor of depth and scope, it follows that any sustained improve ment in this area should up grade the entire curriculum. "We propose to schedule our reading program for the Illinois Valley Cub Scouts Plan Blue and Gold Dinner Saturday Cave ; Junction '-' The an nual Blue and Gold dinner of Cub Scout Pack 20 of the Illinois Valley will be held Saturday at the American Le gion hall here, starting with a pot luck dinner at 6:30 p.m. Each family will bring a large hot dish, salad and their own table service. The pack will furnish bread, butter and beverages. Each den will pre pare table decorations and small favors. Following the dinner, the Cubs will receive awards. This dinner will take the place of the pack's regular monthly meeting. AUTOMATIC Transmissions Exclusively Minor or Major Repjlrs Frery Unix In Stock 100 Finincinj MEDFORD TRANSMISSION . REBUILDERS 1910 Table Rock Id. 773-7748 rait Efficient Service Across From Biq Y Market school year 1963-1964 in the following manner: Pupils will be assigned to classrooms in the usual manner. Each teacher will attempt, by var ious oral and silent reading devices, to ascertain each child's instructional reading level. This should take about five weeks. Pupils To Be Ranked "Stanford Achievement Par tial batteries, which deal with reading, language and spell ing, will be given to each stu dent. These will be scored, corrected and placed in an individual reading file for the student. Pupils at each grade level, will be ranked from the highest to the lowest and proper groups will be deter mined. "New materials necessary for extreme groups will be or dered immediately to supple ment our present reading n.a terials inventory. Time for a common reading period will be assigned and all classes will begin. This period will be at least fifty minutes in duration." Students in all three grades will have their reading peri ods at the same time to avoid noise and confusion, McCoy indicated. There will be six sections at each grade level. McCoy listed these advan tages of the new program: Teachers will work with a group of pupils with similar reading ability and therefore have more time to give indi vidual help. Students with su perior reading ability will be presented with skills to chal lenge them, while slower readers will not be faced by the tension produced when they are compared with more rapid readers and will receive more personal attention. Some Disadvantages He also listed some disad vantages, saying, "Having the right materials and supplies on hand in adequate number nd kind may be a problem. Teacher cooperation is much more necessary in this program; friction must be kept at a minimum. Strict correlation with other sub jects will be difficult. How ever, good cooperation flexi bility and adjustment will make it possible. Teachers will have to acquaint them selves with more students and parents." "In conclusion, our plans for the present still need much more work," McCoy said. "However, the teachers' enthusiasm for this endea "T remains high. All teachers recognize the need for some means to do a better job in reading. Each of them realize that this program will, in the beginning, call for more and better planning. They under stand that the individual child will be the one who will benefit most by this organi zation for reading and expect to give freely of their expe rience and knowledge in achievening this gr-al."

A pro gram consisting of a speaker and music and scripture readings from the different Sunday schools followed the dinner. The Rev. Garland Shinn, missionary for the American Sunday School union, presided. A few days ago we met a lady who grew up in this area but has been living in California for several years. During our conversation she asked how I was and when I answered that I was ail right, she told my wife I was indestructible, which I took to mean that I had been around here a long time and would be hard to get rid of. 1 could have said that the word indestructible would speak for her also, for I remembered she is only three years younger than I. When I carried the U.S. mail to Sams Valley, I was 18 years old. She was 15, and work ed in her uncle's store, which was also the post office. Several local people attended the funeral of Will Jones in Medford Thursday. The Jones family were pioneer residents of the Beagle district, and well known and highly respected by old timers and acquaintenanccs in the surrounding areas. Mr. Jones spent much of his busy life in the Rogue River National Forest service where he held many important positions during his long ten ure, having charge of the flying squadron, a group of trained fire fighters whose mobility gave them their name. The latest arrival in the community is John Sheldon Pointer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Pointer, Modoc or chard, born Feb. 18, at Rogue Valley Memorial hospital. The following concerns William Bybce, a former pioneer resident of the Rogue River valley, to whom belonged the distinction at one time of owning more than half of Jackson county, to which he came and set tled in the spring of 1854. He was a native of Kentucky, born near Winchester, Clark county, April 20, 1830, and reared on a farm. Mr. Bybee followed the farming busi ness here, having a farm at Jacksonville, where he and wife made their home. Mr. Bybee was married Nov. 16, 1854 to Miss Elizabeth Walker, a daughter of Jesse Walker. This union was blessed with eleven children. One was killed by a falling horse at the age of 15. Four others died young, some with diphtheria, which at that time killed many children. Our abstract title shows that William Bybee at one time owned our farm, as also most of the land along the river from the old military bridge down the river for some two miles. We remember Mr. Bybee as an elderly man, with white hair, who generally rode a horse as he made daily trips from his home in Jacksonville to his different farms, one of which was located here where the Bybee Bridge is located. Before the river was bridg ed, Bybce operated a ferry boat there. In all, he had about half dozen farms with a man and wife on each. To give a history of these old timers from the time they "fit" Indians, until they passed on, would take a whole page, so we will taper off with this story: Jack Montgomery, an old stage driver, put up a Utile shack, just south of the county shops. He sold candy, nuts and such, also he mixed up a concoction with hard cider which he said was good to drink, and gave samples to prove it. Some called his place a blind pig. One morn ing, Bill Bybee came along, this time in a one-horse buggy. Jack saw him coming, so opened the door and invited him in, offering him a drink of his mixture. Bybee told him in plain words that he didn't want any, which offended Jack, who called him a fighting name. Bybee lifted up the scat cushion and picked up a small Smith-Weston revolver, with a rose wood butt, made just alter the Civil war. He pointed it at Jack and demanded that he take back what he hud called him or he would let tlie daylight through him. We asked Jack what he did about it, and he answered, "What could I do? He came from 'Kcentucky' and would do just what he said he would." Thought for the day Prejudice: Being down on the thing you are not up on.
