MONDAY,
Regional
Roundup
By Clave Twitched
Regional Editor
Following last week's revela
tion that, according to a shop
ping survey, about one of every
five Ashland families does most
of their shopping in Mcdford,
there will undoubtably be a few
cries from Ashlanders to the
effect that something should be
done to make more residents
shop "at home."
We don't agree.
The shopping survey, conduct
ed during the summer under
the direction of Dr. Loy Prickett
of Southern Oregon college, can
be of real value to the Ashland
business district. It can give
businessmen there a realistic
view of customer habits and
perhaps help some individual
stores make improvements.
But we hope the businessmen
don't react from the survey's
findings with an attitude of
"we've got to do something to
stop people from going to Med
ford to shop." We hope they re
member that it is no farther
from Medford to Ashland than
it is from Ashland to Medford,
and that if Ashland residents
are lured to Medford to shop,
there's no reason why Medford
residents can't be lured to Ash
land. We go along with the views
of one Ashland merchant who
feels that it is a natural part
of human nature to want to
climb in a car and go a few
miles to shop. No one is ever
going to change that. Why not
use it to one's advantage?
On-The-Spol Training
Ted J. Holdt, state director
of rehabilitation and employ
ment for ex-offenders, who has
been a frequent visitor to the
Rogue valley this year, con
fessed the other day that he
has spent some lime in the
state penitentiary.
He lived there for two weeks
In order to be better prepared
for his job in setting up coun
cils throughout the state to help
ex-offenders get jobs.
"When new inmates get in
there," he noted, "the old-timers
get ahold of them and tell
' them they'll never get a job
when they get out." As a result,
when the prisoners get out, they
do so in a state of shock and
have a problem in overcoming
the fear that they won't be ac
cepted. Holdt said about 100 ex
offenders have been placed in
jobs since he began his pro
gram a year-and-a-half ago,
some of them in the Rogue val
ley. Only three have failed to
make the grade.
Award-IVInner
Letha Cooke, O'Brien corres

deadpan news Item of the
month:
"O'BRIEN Jim Cooke found
two rare flowers. One was an
orchid with an Improvement
(according to Jim). It had a
little rubber bulb like a bicycle
horn and two dainty beeps
came from the orchid's throat
when it was pressed. He woke
up before he could bring this
rare jewel to Al Hobart for
identification. The other rare
flower was not described as the
listener had already heard '
enough and lakes such things
as natural flora seriously."

District 6 Workshop
Scheduled Thursday
At Patrick School
By MARY KELL
Mail Tribune Correspondent
GOLD HILL A district 6 parent-teacher
conference method
reporting inservice workshop
will be held Thursday at 3:45
p.m. in the multi-purpose room
at Patrick Elementary school,
according to Gilbert A. Mack
principal of Gold Hill schools.
District 6 consists of schools
in Gold Hill, Sams Valley and
Central Point.
Mack said Ronald Petrie,
curriculum director, will repre
sent the district 6 superintend
ent s office. Besides Petrie
others to attend are Bill Brew
ster, principal of Jcwett Ele
mentary school, and teachers
Mrs. Zelma Foote, Mrs. Betty
Van Derhellen and Mrs. Susan
Ambrose. They will act as con
sultants because of their expe
rience of using the conference
method of reporting during the
1902-03 school year in the Jew
ett school at Central Point.
Others To Attend
Others to attend the work
shop on Thursday include the
principal and fourth grade
teachers from the Central Point
Elementary school and prin
cipals and entire staffs of
teachers from Sams Valley and
Patrick Elementary schools.
Mack said the purpose of the
inservice program is to better
acquaint teachers with the best
parent-teacher conference tech
niques. Such conferences he
said have as a major goal, a
better understanding of each in
dividual child through a two
way exchange of information.
As set up now by the teach
ers, principals and superintend
ents of district 6, confernce re
porting will be used in grades
one through four in all schools
of district 6 during the 1st and
3rd nine weeks reporting per
iods Mack said. The report
card system is to be used the
2nd and 4th nine weeks, he said.
Conference Tells More
Mack said the report card
system of reporting with its
random sprinkling of numbers
and symbols at best can't pos
sibly tell parents all they want
to know about their child, while
on the other hand, a 20 minute
conference between teacher and
individual parents allows an ex
change of some 2,000 to 4,000
words.
So by this method, both par
ents and teachers will learn
more about the various facets
of each individual child. He ex
plained that through the con
ference method of reporting
parents and teachers will share
information together to obtain
Miss Lichtenslein

Effective teacher-parent con
ferences are not easy to con
duct. They take planning, time,
and much energy. However, ex-1
periencea conierencers, mbck
said, agree that time spent con
ferring is really time saved, be
cause it helps eliminate many
problems in the classrooms.
Progress Checked
Parents and teachers are both
concerned about the progress
that children are making.
Neither wants the child to lag ;
and loaf in his schooling or j
wants him pushed so fast that
concepts and understanding are
vague and confused.
Mack stated that teachers
and parents are both aware
that learning goes on both in
the home and at school and that
a child progresses best when
there is no great conflict be
tween the standards of these
two learning arci'S.
Educational research h a s ',
shown that the parent-teacher
reporting lends much to the
rapport between school and
home by bringing out informa
tion to both teachers and par-
ents concerning the behavior j
patterns of the children con
cerned. The real beneficiaries, i
of course, are the children in
the school, he said.
