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.

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."

About 75 people attended the potluck dinner held at
the schoolhouse Thursday, Feb. 14, where seven Union
Sunday schools of the valley were represented. 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.
