School Notes,

From observations made during week
visiting the several grades of the Grants
Pass public schools, found them pro-
crossing quite well although in some
branches the classes are not fully up
with the work as outlined by the State
Board Of education.
This is hard thing to do in go short
time owing to the adoption Of the new
teIt books and the new course OF study.
The new course Of study so outlined
does not correspond exactly with the
old one, which makes many classes do
double work in order TO remain in like
grades Of the old course OF study.
Iam.particularly pleased to>note the
excellent order and strict discipline
maintained throughout the whole school
which shows that every department is
presided over by teacher who un-
derstands her business. Above all
Prof. Young IS principal proves himself
thorough and practical educator who
requires one and all under his charge TO
stand on his or her own merits.
To aid all interested in the schools OF
Josephine county wish them 10 read
the following decision which has re.
Gently been rendered by the department
Of Public instruction.
"Qualifed elector" in the third provi.
so, section 40, OF the school laws read
ing as follows: Provided, farther
that in districts OF the third class any
head Of a family Who is otherwise a
qualified elector and having children oil
school age, may vote at such elections
without property qualifications. Means
any citizen OF this state, male or female,
Who is twenty one years Of age and has
resided in the district thirty days i'm
mediately preceding the meeting or
election and, further, that such "elec
tor" cannot vote for other purpose thar
the election OF school officers; and
further, that petitions for changing
district boundaries must be signed by
legal voters, and that local voters
here means those who can vote for an,
purpose whatever, and, hence those who
can vote only for election Of scboo
officer' cannot legally sign a petition fo
the change Of district boundary.
The regular semiannual examination
for state and county certificates will b,
held February 18th, 18Th, l4th and 18th
1902. LINCOLN SAVAGE,

Phonosraph for the Baby.

A phonograph is q very entertain
ing instrument at all times but perhaps
unique use for it is in entertaining fret
full babies. 1t works to perfection. Re.
Gently a small Columbia Graphophone
was taken into the VOORHEES, home
when the young autocrat OF the house
hold was experiencing season OF i'll
health and was thoroughly disgusted
with the world. The woolly horse had
lost its charm and the Jack-in-the-box
filled his soul with ire. All entertain
ing efforts we're greeted with contempt
until the graphophone came. Its mellow
voice worked wonders. The bright
little machine singing and talking to the
small individual produced a gratifying
curiosity and delight that swept away
the clouds OF i'll temper and disgust and
pleasant sunshine entered the young
ster's heart once more. In the middle
Of the night, when the baby cried, in
stead OF few hours oil floor walking, all
that was necessary was to start the
graphophone and its seductive tones
soon brought peace to the household.
The baby will listen to the music for an
hour or more at a stratch and lik es
nothing better than to be held up to
look down its metallic throat while 1t
talks and sings.

THIN CHILD

If a child is thin, let him
take a little of SCOTS emulsion
of cod-liver oil.
Some children like it too
well; begin with a little. A
half or quarter-teaspoonful is
enough at first, if the stomach
is weak; but increase, as you
find the stomach will bear.
The effect is: the little one
takes on strength; gets hungry;
eats and is happy; gets fat-he
ought to be fat-and gets
healthy.

January wild Flowers.

A few spring wild flowers, buttercups,
were brought to our office on Saturday.
1t is nothing uncommon here for the
flowers to be blooming in February, but
January seems to be little extra early
even for us. The many balmy, spring.
like days are probably responsible for
the precocity of these flowers.
